To help pay for aviation security
costs, as authorized by 49 USC 44940, TSA imposed the Aviation
Security Infrastructure Fee (ASIF) on air carriers and foreign air
carriers (67 FR 7926, codified at 49 CFR part 1511). The amount of
ASIF collected by TSA from the carriers is based on the carriers'
aggregate and individual costs for screening passengers and
property in calendar year 2000 (49 U.S.C. 44940(a)(2)(B)(i),(ii)).
The air carriers have already provided their year 2000 cost
information to TSA. However, TSA has not yet completed its review
of this information. This request will allow TSA to conduct such
reviews
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
