to continue to conduct assessments of
facilities applying for certification under
the Certified Cargo Screening Program
(CCSP). The Final Rule deleted the
requirement that aircraft operators
would have to become certified in order
to screen cargo off airport. Aircraft
operators are already screening cargo on
airport, under a TSA-approved security
program, and additional certification of
aircraft operators is not necessary. TSA
received approval from OMB for the
collections of information contained in
the IFR and now seeks to extend this
approval from OMB on this Final Rule.
Accordingly, TSA must proceed with
this ICR for this program in order to
continue to meet the Congressional
mandate. The ICR allows 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 for a security program and
for certification to TSA at least 90 days
before the intended date of operation.
All CCSF applicants submit
applications and related information
either electronically through email,
through the online Air Cargo Document
Management System, or by postal mail.
TSA requires CCSF applicants to
ensure that individuals performing
screening and related functions under
the Final Rule 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. TSA also requires
CCSFs 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. The CCSF must
also submit to an assessment of its
facility by TSA. Once TSA approves the
security program and determines that
the applicant is qualified to be a CCSF,
TSA will send the applicant a written
notice of approval and certification to
operate as a CCSF.
Once certified, CCSFs 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 Final Rule and
make them available for TSA Inspectors.
The forms used for this collection of
information include the CCSF Facility
Profile Application (TSA Form 419B),

Jkt 226001

CCSF Principal Attestation (TSA Form
419D), Security Profile (TSA Form
419E), Security Threat Assessment
Application (TSA Form 419F), 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
for the Final Rule under this ICR. These
collections will affect an estimated total
of 2,309 unique respondents, over the
three years of the PRA analysis.
Collectively, these five information
collections represent an estimated
average of 127,050 responses annually,
for an average annual hour burden of
143,768 hours.
1. CCSF Application. TSA estimated
that it will receive 2,902 applications in
3 years, for an average of 967
applications annually (this includes
submissions from new applicants and
CCSFs applying to renew their
certification). TSA further estimated
that these applications will require an
average of 2 hours each to complete,
resulting in an annual burden of
approximately 1,934 hours (967 × 2).
2. STA Applications. All CCSP
participants subject to 49 CFR parts
1544, 1546, 1548, and 1549 will be
required to have certain employees
undergo security threat assessments
(STAs). TSA estimated it will receive a
total of 153,516 applications in 3 years,
for an average of 51,172 applications
annually. TSA further estimated that
STA applications will require
approximately 15 minutes each to
complete, resulting in an annual burden
of approximately 12,793 hours (51,172 ×
0.25).
3. Security Programs. TSA estimated
that a total of 1,778 CCSFs will be
required to maintain and update their
security programs in 3 years, for an
average of 593 CCSFs annually. Each
firm will devote approximately 42 hours
to create their initial security program,
resulting in an estimated annual burden
of 24,906 hours (593 × 42). TSA
estimated 3,701 security program
updates in the first three years for an
average of 1,234 updates per year. TSA
further estimated that security program
updates will require approximately 4
hours each to complete, resulting in an
annual burden of approximately 4,936
hours (1,234 × 4).
4. Recordkeeping Requirements. All
CCSFs will be required to maintain
records of compliance with the FR. TSA
estimated a time burden of
approximately five minutes (0.083
hours) annually per employee who is
required to have an STA for each CCSF

to file the training records and other
records of compliance. TSA estimated
an annual burden of approximately
4,247 hours (51,172 × 0.083).
5. Cargo Reporting. TSA estimated
that all CCSFs will complete monthly
cargo volume reports at an estimated
time of one hour each per week. The
average annual responses, based on one
response per firm per month, are 21,912
(1,826 × 12). The estimated annual
burden is 94,952 hours (1,826 × 52).
