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 continues
to be 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 1652-0029; Maryland Three Airports: Enhanced
Security Procedures for Operations at Certain Airports in the
Washington, DC Metropolitan Area Flight Restricted Zone, 49 CFR part
1562. Codified in 49 CFR part 1562, TSA sets forth airport operator
requirements and security procedures at three Maryland airports that
are located within the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area Flight
Restricted Zone (FRZ), and for individuals operating aircraft to or
from these airports. The Maryland Three Airports are College Park
Airport (CGS), Potomac Airfield (VKX), and Washington Executive/Hyde
Field (W32). The information collected is used to determine compliance
with 49 CFR part 1562.
Part 1562 allows an individual who is approved by TSA to operate an
aircraft to or from one of the Maryland Three Airports or to serve as
an airport security coordinator at one of these three airports. In
order to be approved, a pilot or airport security coordinator applicant
is required to successfully complete a security threat assessment. As
part of this threat assessment, the applicant must undergo a criminal
history records check and a check of Government terrorist watch lists
and other databases to determine whether the individual poses, or is
suspected of posing, a threat to transportation or national security.
An applicant will not receive TSA's approval under this analysis if TSA
determines or suspects them of being a threat to national or
transportation security. Applicants can be fingerprinted at the Ronald
Reagan Washington National Airport's (DCA) badging office and any
participating airport badging office or law enforcement office located
nearby to the applicant's residence or place of work. Applicants must
present the following information to TSA, using TSA Form 418, as part
of the application process: full name, Social Security number, date of
birth, address, phone numbers, current and valid airman certificate or
current and valid student pilot certificate, current medical
certificate, email address, emergency contact number, a list of the
make, model, and FAA aircraft registration number for each aircraft the
pilot intends to operate at Maryland Three Airports, one form of
Government-issued picture ID, and fingerprints.
Although not required by the rule, TSA asks applicants to provide
an email address and contact phone number to facilitate immediate
communication that might be necessary when operating in the FRZ or
helpful during the application process. TSA receives approximately 312
applications annually, and estimates applicants spend approximately 90
minutes to submit the information to TSA, which is a total annual
burden of 28,080 hours.
Dated: April 2, 2015.
