SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is
not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it
displays a valid OMB control number. The ICR documentation is available
at http://www.reginfo.gov. Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and
approval of the following information collection, TSA is soliciting
comments to--
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed information requirement is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology.
Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652-0006; Employment Standards, 49 CFR parts
1542 and 1544. The purpose of this information collection is to
determine compliance with 49 CFR parts 1542 and 1544. TSA requires that
airport operators maintain records of criminal history records checks
and security threat assessments in compliance with 49 CFR part 1542 and
a related security directive for those employees with access privileges
to security identification display areas of the airport. TSA also
requires that aircraft operators maintain records of compliance with 49
CFR part 1544 for selected crew and security employees. TSA
Transportation Security Inspectors (TSIs) review these records to
ensure that the safety and security of the public is not compromised,
to include using this information to take corrective action when
necessary. These regulations establish procedures that airports and
airlines must carry out to protect persons and property against acts of
criminal violence, aircraft piracy, and terrorist activities. The
current estimated annual recordkeeping burden is 35,898 hours.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on August 4, 2011.

Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Business Improvements and
