(OMB) for renewal in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act. The ICR
describes the nature of the information
collection and its expected burden. The
collections include: (1) Applications
from entities that wish to become
Certified Cargo Screening Facilities
(CCSF) or operate as a TSA-approved
validation firm; (2) personal information
to allow TSA to conduct security threat
assessments on key individuals
employed by the CCSFs and validation
firms; (3) implementation of a standard
security program or submission of a
proposed modified security program; (4)
information on the amount of cargo
screened; (5) recordkeeping

firms; and (6) submission of validation
reports to TSA. TSA is seeking the
renewal of the ICR for the continuation
of the program 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.
DATES: Send your comments by
December 13, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be e-mailed

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
OMB Control Number 1652–0053,
Certified Cargo Screening Program, 49
CFR Parts 1515, 1520, 1522, 1540, 1544,
1546, 1548, and 1549
TSA is seeking renewal of an expiring
collection of information. Section 1602
of the Implementing Recommendations
of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007
(Pub. L. 110–53, 121 Stat. 266, 278,
August 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. In September 2009, TSA
issued an interim final rule (IFR)
amending 49 CFR to implement this
statutory requirement. See 74 FR 47672
(September 16, 2009). TSA received
approval from OMB for the collections
of information contained in the IFR.
TSA now seeks to extend this approval
from OMB. Accordingly, TSA must
proceed with this ICR for this program
in order to continue to meet the
Congressional mandate. The ICR will
allow TSA to collect several categories
of information as explained below.
Data Collection
TSA certifies qualified facilities as
CCSFs. Companies seeking to become
CCSFs are required to submit an
application to TSA at least 90 days
before the intended date of operation.
All CCSF applicants submit
applications and related information
either electronically through email or
through the online Air Cargo Document

Management System. TSA also accepts
applications by postal mail. Once TSA
approves the application, TSA allows
the regulated entity to operate as a CCSF
in accordance with a TSA-approved
security program. Prior to certification,
the CCSF must also submit to an
assessment by a TSA-approved validator
or TSA.
TSA also requires CCSFs and
validation firms to accept and
implement a standard security program
provided by TSA or to submit a
proposed modified security program to
the designated TSA official for approval.
TSA requires CCSF applicants to
ensure that individuals performing
screening and related functions under
the IFR have successfully completed a
security threat assessment (STA)
conducted by TSA. In addition, Security
Coordinators and their alternates for
CCSFs must undergo 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 and other cargo screening
metrics at an approved facility. CCSFs
must also maintain screening, training,
and other security-related records of
compliance with the IFR and make them
available for TSA inspection.
A firm interested in operating as a
TSA-approved validation firm must also
apply for TSA approval. Thus, this ICR
also covers the following additional
collections for validation firms: (1)
Applications from entities seeking to
become TSA-approved validation firms;
(2) personal information so individuals
performing, assisting or supervising
validation assessments, and security
coordinators can undergo STAs; (3)
implementation of a standard security
program provided by TSA or
submission of a proposed modified
security program; (4) recordkeeping
requirements, including that validation
firms maintain assessment reports; and
(5) submission of validation reports
conducted by validators in TSAapproved validation firms to TSA.
The forms used for this collection of
information include the CCSF Facility
Profile Application (TSA Form 419B),
CCSF Principal Attestation (TSA Form
419D), Security Profile (TSA Form
419E), Security Threat Assessment
Application (TSA Form 419F), TSA
Approved Validation Firms Application
(TSA Form 419G), Aviation Security
Known Shipper Verification (TSA Form
419H), and the Cargo Reporting
Template.

Estimated Burden Hours
As noted above, TSA has identified
several separate information collections
under this ICR. These collections will
affect an estimated total of 16,989
unique respondents, including the CCSP
pilot respondents, over the three years
of the PRA analysis. Collectively, these
information collections represent an
estimated average of 723,312 responses
annually, for an average annual hour
burden of 718,255 hours.
1. CCSF Application. TSA estimates
that it will receive 22,541 applications
in 3 years, for an average of 7,514
applications annually and that these
applications will require an average of
2 hours each to complete, resulting in
an annual burden of 15,028 hours (7,514
× 2).
2. Validation Firm Applications. TSA
estimates that it will receive 83
applications in 3 years, for an average of
28 applications annually. Each
application will require an average of 30
minutes to complete, resulting in an
annual burden of 14 hours (28 × 0.5) on
the validation firms.
3. STA Applications. All CCSP
participants subject to 49 CFR parts
1544, 1546, 1548, and 1549, as well as
TSA-approved validation firms, will be
required to have certain employees
undergo security threat assessments
(STAs). TSA estimates it will receive a
total of 937,300 applications in 3 years,
for an average of 312,433 applications
annually. STA application requirements
result in an annual burden of
approximately 78,108 (312,433 × 0.25).
4. Security Programs. TSA estimates
that a total 16,989 CCSFs and validation
firms will be required to maintain and
update their security programs. Each
firm will devote approximately 4 hours
each annually, beginning in the second
year, updating their security programs.
TSA estimates 31,589 security program
updates in the first three years for an
average of 10,530 updates per year. The
annual hour burden is 42,119 (10,530 ×
4).
5. Recordkeeping requirements. All
CCSFs and validation firms, or 16,989,
will be required to maintain records of
compliance with the IFR. TSA estimates
a time burden of approximately five
minutes annually per employee who is
required to have an STAto file training
records and other records of
compliance. This includes validation
firm filings of validation assessment
reports, resulting in a total of 937,300
record updates in the first three years
for an average of 312,433 record updates
per year. TSA estimates an annual
burden of approximately 25,932 hours
(312,433 × 0.083).

6. Validation Assessment Reports.
TSA estimates it will take individual
validators four hours to write up a
validation report. In addition, TSA
estimated this will result in 5,635
validations being completed annually,
resulting in an annual burden of 22,541
hours (5.635 × 4).
7. Cargo Reporting. TSA estimates
that all CCSFs will complete monthly
cargo volume reports at an estimated
time of one hour per week. The average
annual responses, based on one
response per firm per month, are 67,624
(5,635 × 12). The estimated annual
burden is 293,037 hours (5,646 × 52).
