Information Collection Requirement
Title: Transportation Security Officer
(TSO) Medical Questionnaire.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

Forms(s): Transportation Security
Officer Medical Questionnaire, Cancer
Further Evaluation, Cardiac Surgery
Further Evaluation, Cardiac Further
Evaluation, Diabetes Further Evaluation,
Drug or Alcohol Use Further Evaluation,
General Medical Further Evaluation,
Hearing Further Evaluation, Hepatitis
Further Evaluation, Hernia Further

Orthopedic Further Evaluation,
Pacemaker Further Evaluation, Palmar

Respiratory Further Evaluation, Seizure
Further Evaluation, Tuberculosis
Further Evaluation, Vision Further

Affected Public: Applicants for
employment as a Transportation
Security Officer with TSA.
Abstract: TSA currently collects
relevant medical information from
Transportation Security Officer (TSO)
candidates for the purpose of assessing
whether the candidates meet the
medical qualification standards the
agency has established pursuant to the
Aviation and Transportation Security
Act (ATSA) (49 U.S.C. 44935). TSA
collects this information through a
medical questionnaire completed by
TSO candidates and, in certain cases,
further evaluation forms completed by
TSO candidates’ health care providers.
The medical questionnaire and further
evaluation forms evaluate a candidate’s

physical and medical qualifications to
be a TSO, including visual and aural
acuity, physical coordination, and
motor skills. Only TSO candidates who
successfully complete the hiring process
up to the medical evaluation are
required to complete the medical
questionnaire. Candidates who disclose
certain medical conditions on the
medical questionnaire may be asked to
have their health care provider complete
one or more further evaluation forms.
Historical data indicate that
approximately 30 percent of candidates
reaching the medical evaluation will be
required to complete one or more
further evaluation forms.
TSA has a variety of further
evaluation forms, each of which pertain
to particular body systems and medical
conditions, including cardiac,
orthopedic, endocrine, vitals, and
others. The type of further evaluation
form(s) completed by a candidate’s
health care provider depend(s) on the
condition(s) revealed during a
candidate’s initial medical evaluation
and disclosed on the initial medical
questionnaire. For example, a candidate
who discloses a previous back injury
may be required to have his/her health
care provider complete a further
evaluation form to enable the agency to
better evaluate whether the candidate
can perform the TSO job safely and
efficiently without excessive risk of
accident or injury to himself/herself or
others. A TSA contractor facilitates
receipt and processing of all forms.
Number of Respondents: There are an
estimated total of 26,565 TSO
candidates and their respective health
care providers, nationwide. This
number includes an estimated 14,750
candidates completing the TSO medical
questionnaire and an estimated 4,425
candidates (30% of 14,750) required to
complete at least one further evaluation
form. TSA has estimated that these
estimated 4,425 applicants will visit
approximately 1.67 health care
providers. As such, the 26,565 figure
also includes an estimated 7,390 health
care providers (4,425 × 1.67) completing
further evaluation form(s).
Estimated Annual Burden Hours:
After further evaluation, TSA has
increased the annual burden estimate
published in the notice published on
October 26, 2009. The estimated total
annual burden for applicants, including
applicants required to complete further
evaluation forms, and health care
providers is 12,912 hours.
