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
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 114(m), and 106(l) and (m), TSA has authority
to enter into agreements with participants to reimburse expenses
incurred by airport operators for the provision of LEOs in support of
screening at airport checkpoints. Consistent with this authority, TSA
created the LEO Reimbursement Program, which is run by the Office of
Law Enforcement/Federal Air Marshal Service (OLE/FAMS).
TSA OLE/FAMS requires that participants in the LEO Reimbursement
Program record the details of all reimbursements sought. In order to
provide for the orderly tracking of reimbursements, the LEO
Reimbursement Program uses TSA Form 3503, LEO Reimbursement Request
which captures and tracks reimbursement information.
The LEO Reimbursement Request form is available at www.tsa.gov.
Upon completion, participants submit the LEO Reimbursement Request form
directly to the OLE/FAMS LEO Reimbursement Program via fax, electronic
upload via scanning the document, mail, or in person. The OLE/FAMS LEO
Reimbursement Program reviews all request for reimbursement forms
received. Based on the prior year participation, TSA estimates that
there will be 326 participant responses monthly or 3,912 yearly.
TSA estimates each respondent will spend approximately one hour to
complete the request for reimbursement form, for a total annual hour
burden of 3,912 hours.
