ACTION: 60-Day Notice.
AGENCY:

The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) invites public
comment on one currently approved
Information Collection Request (ICR),
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number 1652–0011,
abstracted below that we will submit to
OMB for renewal in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
The ICR describes the nature of the
information collection and its expected
burden. The collection requires
interested volunteers to fill out an
application to determine their
suitability for participating in the
Federal Flight Deck Officer (FFDO)
Program, and deputized FFDOs to
submit written reports of certain
prescribed incidents.
DATES: Send your comments by April
30, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be emailed
to [email protected] or delivered to the
TSA PRA Officer, Office of Information
Technology (OIT), TSA–11,
Transportation Security Administration,
601 South 12th Street, Arlington, VA
20598–6011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Joanna Johnson at the above address, or
by telephone (571) 227–3651.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

et seq.), an agency may not conduct or

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
1652–0011; Federal Flight Deck
Officer Program. The Transportation
Security Administration (TSA) initially
required this information collection
under Public Law 107–296 and Public
Law 108–176. See Arming Pilots
Against Terrorism Act (APATA), Title
XIV of the Homeland Security Act (Pub.
L. 107–296, Nov. 25, 2202), codified at
49 U.S.C. 44921; Vision 100—Century of
Aviation Reauthorization Act (Vision
100) (Pub. L. 108–176, 117 Stat. 2490,
Dec. 12, 2003), codified at 49 U.S.C.
44918. TSA is seeking to renew this
information collection in order to
continue collecting the information
described in this notice to comply with
its statutory mission. The Arming Pilots
Against Terrorism Act required TSA to
establish a program to deputize
volunteer pilots of passenger air carriers
as Federal law enforcement officers to
defend the flight deck of their aircraft
against acts of criminal violence or air
piracy. With the enactment of Vision
100, eligibility to participate in the
FFDO program expanded to include
pilots of all-cargo aircraft, as well as
flight engineers and navigators on both
passenger and cargo aircraft.
In order to screen volunteers for entry
into the FFDO program, TSA collects
information, including name, address,
prior address information, personal
references, criminal history, limited
medical information, financial
information, and employment
information, from applicants through
comprehensive applications they submit
to TSA. In addition, standard operating
procedures require deputized FFDOs to
report certain prescribed incidents to

VerDate Mar<15>2010

20:10 Feb 27, 2012

Jkt 226001

TSA so that appropriate records are
created for evidentiary, safety, and
security purposes. TSA uses the
information collected to assess the
qualifications and suitability of
prospective and current FFDOs through
an online application, to ensure the
readiness of every FFDO, to administer
the program, and for other
transportation security purposes. Based
on the average number of new
applicants to the FFDO program, TSA
estimates a total of 5,000 respondents
annually. TSA estimates that the online
application will take one hour for each
applicant to complete, for a total burden
of 5,000 hours.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on February
21, 2012.
