airport checkpoint screening.

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 will be
available at http://www.reginfo.gov upon its submission to OMB.
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.
Consistent with the requirements of Executive Order (E.O.) 13771,
Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs, and E.O. 13777,
Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda, TSA is also requesting comments
on the extent to which this request for information could be modified
to reduce the burden on respondents.
Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652-0063; Law Enforcement Officer (LEO)
Reimbursement Request. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 114(m), and secs. 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 294 participant responses monthly or 3,528 yearly, which
is a decrease from the 2015 submission of 326 monthly participants.
TSA estimates each respondent will spend approximately one hour to
complete the request for reimbursement form, for a total annual hour
burden of 3,528 hours.
Dated: March 7, 2018.

TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Office of Information Technology.
