DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
Transportation Security Administration
Intent To Request Approval From OMB
of One New Public Collection of
Information: Certified Cargo Screening
Pilot Program
AGENCY: Transportation Security
Administration, DHS.
ACTION: 60-day notice.
SUMMARY: The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) invites public
comment on a new Information
Collection Request (ICR) abstracted
below that we will submit to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for
approval in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act. The ICR
describes the nature of the information
collection and its expected burden. The
collection will allow TSA to collect two
broad categories of information from
entities that wish to become Certified
Cargo Screening Facilities (CCSF): (1)
Personal information to allow TSA to
conduct security threat assessments on
key individuals employed by the CCSFs;
and (2) data demonstrating air cargo
throughput and other information from
which TSA can determine the
effectiveness of the CCSF’s performance.
Under this pilot, CCSFs must also
maintain screening and other securityrelated training records.

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 is
available at http://www.reginfo.gov.
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.
Information Collection Requirement
Purpose and Description of Data
Collection
TSA is seeking approval of this ICR in
order to secure passenger aircraft
carrying cargo by the deadlines set out
in the Implementing Recommendations
of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007.
Section 1602 of the Implementing
Recommendations of the 9/11
Commission Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110–
53, 121 Stat. 266, 278, Aug. 3, 2007)
requires the development of a system to
screen 50 percent of the cargo
transported on a passenger aircraft by
February 2009 and to screen 100 percent
of such cargo by August 2010. TSA
plans to issue an interim final rule (IFR)
amending 49 CFR to implement this
statutory requirement. In order to
comply with the statutory mandate,
TSA has developed a program that will
allow shippers, indirect air carriers, and

E:\FR\FM\13APN1.SGM

13APN1

16880

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 69 / Monday, April 13, 2009 / Notices

other entities to screen cargo off-airport
before it is tendered to aircraft operators
for transport on passenger aircraft. In
the absence of such a program, all air
cargo screening required by the 9/11
Commission Act would have to be
accomplished by the aircraft operators
at the airport. Severe delays and
economic disruption would result.
Before issuing the IFR, however, TSA
needs to collect information during an
initial pilot program. Accordingly, TSA
must proceed with a separate ICR for the
pilot program in order to meet the
Congressional mandate. This ICR will
allow TSA to collect two broad
categories of information from shippers,
indirect air carriers, and other entities
that wish to become CCSFs:
(1) Personal information to allow TSA
to conduct security threat assessments
(STA) on key individuals employed by
the CCSFs; and
(2) Data demonstrating air cargo
throughput and other information from
which TSA can determine eligibility to
become a CCSF and the effectiveness of
the CCSF’s performance.
TSA will certify qualified facilities as
CCSFs. CCSFs may screen cargo offairport and must implement measures to
ensure a secure chain of custody from
the point of screening to the point at
which the cargo is tendered to the
aircraft operator or other regulated
entity for transport. This pilot creates
several new information collections.
Outlined below are the specifics of each
information collection.
Data Collection
Entities seeking to become CCSFs are
required to submit an application to
TSA at least 90 days before the intended
date of operation. CCSF applicants will
submit applications and related
information either electronically
through e-mail or through the online Air
Cargo Document Management System
under development. TSA will also
accept applications by postal mail. Once
TSA approves the application, TSA will
allow the regulated entity to operate as
a CCSF in accordance with TSA
standards.
TSA will require CCSF applicants to
ensure that individuals performing
screening and related functions under
the IFR have successfully completed an
STA conducted by TSA. In addition,
Security Coordinators and their
alternates for CCSFs will need STAs.
CCSFs must submit personally
identifiable information on these
individuals to TSA so that TSA can
conduct an STA.
CCSF facilities must provide
information on the amount of cargo
screened at an approved facility. CCSFs

must also maintain screening and other
security-related training records.
Estimated Burden Hours
TSA has identified four separate
information collections under this ICR.
These four collections will affect an
estimated total of 2,667 unique
respondents (shippers, indirect air
carriers, and other entities) over the
three years of the PRA analysis.
Collectively, these four information
collections represent an estimated
average of 89,011 responses annually,
for an average annual hour burden of
152,490 hours.
1. STAs. All pilot participants will be
required to have certain employees
undergo STAs. TSA estimates the time
to complete an STA application at 15
minutes per individual. TSA estimates
an average of 2,667 CCSFs responding
annually with an average of 20
applicants each. This yields an
estimated 53,340 STAs (2,667 CCSFs ×
20 applicants) for CCSFs. From this, we
derive an annual hour burden of 13,335
hours (53,340 STAs × 0.25 hrs).
2. Screening and Other SecurityRelated Training Records. All CCSFs
will be required to maintain screening
and other security-related training
records for employees in the program.
TSA estimates a time burden of
approximately five minutes annually for
each CCSF to file the training records.
TSA considers the estimated average
annual CCSFs impacted to be 2,667.
From this, TSA derives an annual hour
burden of approximately 221 hours
(2,667 CCSFs × 0.083 hrs).
3. Applications. Entities desiring to
become CCSFs will send TSA an
application for consideration. TSA
estimates that it will receive an average
of 1,000 enrollment applications
annually, and that these applications
will require an average of 15 minutes
each to complete, resulting in an annual
burden of 250 hours (1,000 CCSFs ×
0.25 hrs).
4. Cargo Volume Reports. Finally,
TSA estimates that approximately 2,667
CCSFs will complete monthly cargo
volume reports taking approximately
one hour each week. This creates an
estimated annual burden of
approximately 138,684 hours (2,667
CCSFs × 1 hr × 52 weeks).
Use of Results
TSA will use the information gathered
as part of this pilot program for the
purpose of ‘‘beta testing’’ the many
processes and procedures associated
with the program. TSA will utilize the
results to evaluate, refine, and improve
the final certified cargo screening
program in the IFR.
