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 1652–0006;
Employment Standards, 49 CFR parts
1542 and 1544. The purpose of this
information collection is to determine
compliance with 49 CFR parts 1542 and
1544. TSA requires that airport
operators maintain records of criminal
history records checks and security
threat assessments in compliance with
49 CFR part 1542 and a related security
directive for those employees with
access privileges to security
identification display areas of the
airport. TSA also requires that aircraft
operators maintain records of
compliance with 49 CFR part 1544 for
selected crew and security employees.
TSA Transportation Security Inspectors
(TSIs) review these records to ensure
that the safety and security of the public
is not compromised, to include using
this information to take corrective
action when necessary. These
regulations establish procedures that
airports and airlines must carry out to
protect persons and property against
acts of criminal violence, aircraft piracy,
and terrorist activities. The current
estimated annual recordkeeping burden
is 35,898 hours.

0002, Airport Security. TSA has
implemented airport operator security
standards at 49 CFR part 1542 to require
each airport operator to which this part
applies to adopt and carry out a security
program. These TSA-approved security
programs establish procedures that
airport operators must carry out to
protect persons and property traveling
on flights provided by U.S. aircraft
operators and foreign air carriers against
acts of criminal violence, aircraft piracy,
and the introduction of explosives,
incendiaries, or weapons aboard an
aircraft.
This information collection is
mandatory for airport operators. As part
of their security programs, affected
airport operators are required to
maintain and update, as necessary,
records of compliance with the security
program provisions set forth in 49 CFR
part 1542. This regulation also requires
affected airport operators to make their
security programs and associated
records available for inspection and
copying by TSA to ensure transportation
security and regulatory compliance.
The information requested of airport
operators has increased due to the
security measures mandated by the
Federal Government since September
11, 2001. The information TSA now
collects includes identifying
information on individuals with
unescorted access to the most secured
areas of the airport. Under this
regulation, airport operators must
ensure that individuals seeking
unescorted access authority submit to
and receive a criminal history records
check (CHRC). As part of the CHRC
process, the individual must provide
identifying information, including
fingerprints. Additionally, airport
operators must maintain these records
and make them available to TSA for
inspection and copying upon request.
TSA will continue to collect
information to determine airport
operator compliance with other
requirements of 49 CFR part 1542. TSA
estimates that there will be
approximately 444 airport operator
respondents to the information
requirements described above requiring
approximately 535,705 hours per year to
process.
The current estimated annual burden
is 535,705 hours annually.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on August 4,
2011.

Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0034; Law
Enforcement Officer (LEO) Flying
Armed Training. TSA is requesting
approval for the renewal of the
collection of this information to comply
with 49 CFR 1544.219, which requires
Federal LEOs or full-time territorial,
tribal, municipal, county or state LEOs
who are direct employees of government
agencies, or authorized railroad police
officers, to complete the LEO Flying
Armed training course in order to fly
armed. The course is a non-tactical
overview of the conditions under which
an officer may fly armed and the
required conduct and duties of the LEO
while flying armed. This collection
would permit TSA to collect identifying
information from law enforcement
agencies requesting the LEO Flying
Armed training course.
Information will be gathered from law
enforcement agencies who have
requested the LEO Flying Armed
training course. The information would
be gathered to confirm that the agencies
are eligible for this program (i.e., that
they are active law enforcement
agencies whose officers have an
operational need to fly armed). Law
enforcement agencies will be required to
contact the TSA/FAMS via phone or email and provide the full name of the
agency’s designated point of contact,
agency name, and agency address,
telephone number, and e-mail address
to obtain the LEO Flying Armed training
course. The FAMS will maintain a
record of law enforcement agencies and
their point of contact that have received
the training materials. If an issue arises
during the screening and verification
process regarding the authenticity of an
agency that requests training materials,
no training materials will be supplied
until that issue has either been
confirmed or resolved and a record of
such will be maintained.
Upon completion of the training, the
LEO who has been authorized by his or
her agency to fly armed will present his
or her credentials, and other required
documentation at the airport in order to
fly armed. A Transportation Security
Officer will verify all pertinent
information onsite. TSA estimates there
will be approximately 2,000
respondents on an annual basis, for a
total annual hour burden of 167 hours.
