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; Security Programs for Foreign Air
Carriers, 49 CFR part 1546. TSA uses the information collected to
determine compliance with 49 CFR part 1546 and to ensure passenger
safety by monitoring foreign air carrier security procedures. Foreign
air carriers must carry out security measures to provide for the safety
of persons and property traveling on flights provided by the foreign
air carrier against acts of criminal violence and air piracy, and the
introduction of explosives, incendiaries, or weapons aboard an
aircraft. This information collection is mandatory for foreign air
carriers and must be submitted prior to entry into the United States.
The information TSA collects includes identifying information on
foreign air carriers' flight crews and passengers. Specifically, TSA
requires foreign air carriers to submit the following information: (1)
A master crew list of all flight and cabin crew members flying to and
from the United States; (2) the flight crew list on a flight-by-flight
basis; (3) passenger information on a flight-by-flight basis; and (4)
total amount of cargo screened. Foreign air carriers are required to
provide this information via electronic means. Foreign air carriers
with limited electronic systems may need to modify their current
systems or develop a new computer system in order to submit the
requested information.
Additionally, foreign air carriers must maintain these records, as
well as training records for crew members and individuals performing
security-related functions, and make them available to TSA for
inspection upon request. TSA will continue to collect information to
determine foreign air carrier compliance with other requirements of 49
CFR part 1546. TSA estimates that there will be approximately 170
respondents to the information collection, with an annual burden
estimate of 1,029,010 hours.
