TSA issued an interim final rule to
restore access to Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) for certain
aircraft operations while maintaining the security of critical
Federal Government and other assets in the Washington, DC
metropolitan area. The IFR and this information collection apply to
all general aviation operations into or out of DCA,

Aviation Reauthorization Act
There has been a significant
increase in program participation. Specifically, the number of
aircraft operators in the program has risen over 60%, the number of
FBOs has increased by 138%, and the number of actual flight
operations has grown 66%. Several of the newer corporate aircraft
operators have a very large number of flight crewmembers (e.g., one
operator has over 2,000 flight crew members). This increased agency
estimate resulted in an annual increase of 4,339 responses and
2,295 burden hours. The decrease in government cost is a direct
result of no longer having intial start up costs and current
maintenance of only the online system. The new numbers represent
data collected based on the actual number of operators and number
of operations conducted under the DASSP program.
