of qualified private companies carry out
the screening of passengers and
property at the airport under a contract
entered into with TSA. The application
process is the initial notification to TSA
Headquarters of an airport’s desire to
opt-out of the federal screening
provided by TSA employees.

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—

the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the

agency’s estimate of the burden;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

(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 1615–0102]

The submission of the SPP
application is the first step in an
airport’s request for private screening; it
represents the initial notification to TSA
of an airport’s desire to opt-out of the
federal screening provided by TSA
employees. TSA currently has a
screening presence at approximately
450 airports, of which 19 airports are
actively participating in SPP.
The annual burden for the
information collection related to SPP is
estimated to be one half (0.50) hour.
While TSA estimates that only two
airports will respond annually, it is
presumed that ten or more airports
could respond. The agency estimates
that each respondent airport will spend
approximately one-quarter (.25) hour to
complete the application for a total
burden of one-half (0.50) hour. TSA
does not require the airports to maintain
records of the application submission;
however, if the airport choses to do so
the burden associated with the action is
anticipated to be de minimis.
