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 1652-0005; 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. The information TSA collects includes identifying information
on foreign air carriers' flight crews and passengers. Specifically, TSA
requires foreign air carriers to electronically 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; and (3) passenger identifying information
on a flight-by-flight basis. This information collection is mandatory
for foreign air carriers and must be submitted prior to entry into the
United States.
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
described above to determine foreign air carrier compliance with
requirements of 49 CFR part 1546. TSA estimates that there will be
approximately 180 respondents to the information collection, with an
annual burden estimate of 1,278,352 hours.
