Purpose of Data Collection
The National Explosives Detection
Canine Team Program (NEDCTP) is a
component of TSA’s Office of Law
Enforcement/Federal Air Marshal
Service and is a cooperative partnership
with participating airports and mass
transit systems. TSA provides and trains
the canines, in-depth training for the
handlers, and partially reimburses the
participating agency for costs associated
with the teams, such as salaries,
overtime, canine food, and veterinary
care. Following training, handlers and
supervisors are requested to complete
TSA’s Training Course Feedback Form,
which captures numerical ratings and
written comments about the quality of
training instruction. The data collected
provides valuable feedback to the
program director, key staff members,
instructional staff, and supervisors on
how the material was presented and
received. The feedback is collected,
analyzed, and implementation of
positive program changes occur as a
result of the student/handler data
collected.
Description of Data Collection
Each student inputs the data into the
Canine Web Site electronically prior to
their departure from the training
environment. Each student that
graduates from the course of instruction
completes the feedback form, which is
part of the course curriculum. The
estimated burden is approximately one

hour or less per participant to read,
answer, and return the questions. TSA
estimates approximately 150 course
graduates will complete the form on an
annual basis, for an annual hour burden
of 150 hours.
Use of Results
The TSA Headquarters NEDCTP staff
and the Canine Support Branch in San
Antonio, Texas, use these results to
continuously evaluate the quality of
training and improve the course
curriculum and course of instruction.
Additionally, the collected feedback
provides for new ideas, best practices,
and insight on the overall canine
training program that TSA can evaluate
during annual formal review of current
course curriculum. TSA disseminates
the information to a limited amount of
NEDCTP staff on an as needed basis.
The program director reviews each of
the feedback forms.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on August 3,
