The ICR is approved for two years with the understanding that TSA will require each service provider to display the following statement, prominently and at minimum, on the first screen of the service providerÂs Registered Traveler enrollment form, or on a screen immediately proceeding that screen:
"TSA requires a full legal name from RT Program applicants for the purpose of conducting a security threat assessment (STA). TSA also requests the following identifying information: other names used, Social Security Number, citizenship status, alien registration number, current home address, primary and secondary telephone numbers, current e-mail address, date of birth, place of birth, gender, height, previous home addresses, employer name, employer address, and driverÂs license number. TSA will use this information for the following purposes: to pre-screen travelers by conducting security threat assessments; to assist in the management and tracking of STA results; to permit the retrieval of STA results; to eliminate false watch list matches; to communicate with the individual in the event of a possible match; and to refer to the appropriate intelligence and law enforcement entities the identity of RT applicants or RT participants who pose or are suspected of posing a threat to transportation or national security.
The identifying information requested by TSA is a voluntary collection, but failure to provide this information may delay or prevent an "approved" determination of the security threat assessment necessary to join RT. Participating Service Providers (SPs) may collect additional information from you for customer service purposes. The collection of excess data by SPs is neither required nor endorsed by TSA.
TSA estimates that the total average burden per response associated with this collection is approximately 20 minutes. If you wish to comment on the accuracy of that estimate or submit suggestions for reducing the burden, you may write to TSA, Registered Traveler Program, 601 S. 12th St., Arlington, VA 22202-4220. 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 OMB control number assigned to this collection is 1652-0019, which expires mm/dd/yyyy."
In addition, TSA has decided not to administer the customer satisfaction surveys and stakeholder interviews. TSA has revised the supporting statement accordingly. If TSA resubmits these information collections, TSA must provide a complete part B describing the proposed statistical methods.

TSA is continuing the ongoing pilot at one airport to test and evaluate specific technologies and business processes related to the Registered Traveler (RT) concept. In addition, TSA will initiate additional pilots at additional locations and incorporate a public/private partnership. TSA, through its partnership with airports serving as Sponsoring Entities for Service Providers (SPs), will collect and retain personal information from individuals to conduct name-based security threat assessments on individuals who volunteer to participate in the program. For prequalification purposes, TSA will collect information from companies seeking to participate as SPs. TSA requested a Statement of Interest from airports and air carriers seeking to participate.
US Code:
49 USC section 109
Name of Law: Aviation and Transportation Security Act
Due to positive responses to the current pilot, the need to evaluate systems interoperability, and the need to conduct a robust metrics analysis, TSA has extended the current pilot program.
