SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
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
OMB Control Number 1652–0005;
Security Programs for Foreign Air
Carriers, 49 CFR part 1546. TSA uses
the information collected to determine
compliance with 49 CFR part 1546 and
to ensure passenger safety by
monitoring foreign air carrier security
procedures. Foreign air carriers must
carry out security measures to provide
for the safety of persons and property
traveling on flights provided by the
foreign air carrier against acts of
criminal violence and air piracy, and
the introduction of explosives,
incendiaries, or weapons aboard an
aircraft. This information collection is
mandatory for foreign air carriers and
must be submitted prior to entry into
the United States. The information TSA
collects includes identifying
information on foreign air carriers’ flight
crews and passengers. Specifically, TSA
requires foreign air carriers to submit
the following information: (1) A master
crew list of all flight and cabin crew
members flying to and from the United
States; (2) the flight crew list on a flightby-flight basis; and (3) passenger

information on a flight-by-flight basis.
Foreign air carriers are required to
provide this information via electronic
means. On June 19, 2014, TSA removed
the previous security program
requirement that foreign air carriers
submit information regarding the
amount of cargo screened because all
foreign air carriers are required to screen
100% of cargo.
Additionally, foreign air carriers must
maintain these records, as well as
training records for crew members and
individuals performing security-related
functions, and make them available to
TSA for inspection upon request. TSA
will continue to collect information to
determine foreign air carrier compliance
with other requirements of 49 CFR part
1546. TSA estimates that there will be
approximately 170 respondents to the
information collection, with an annual
burden estimate of 1,029,010 hours.
Dated: April 6, 2015.

Detection Canine Team Program
(NEDCTP) Handler Training Assessment
Survey. The collection approval period
expires on September 30, 2015.
TSA is requesting an extension of the
collection due to the upcoming
expiration date. However, since its
approval, the collection’s name has
undergone multiple name changes. As
noted in the previously filed 60-day
Notice, the name of the collection was
initially changed from National
Explosives Detection Canine Team
Program (NEDCTP) Handler Training
Assessment Survey to TSA OLE/FAMS
Canine Training and Evaluation Section
(CTES) End of Course Level 1 Critique.
See 79 FR 78099 (December 29, 2014).
Subsequently, on January 15, 2015, the
OLE/FAMS CTES was consolidated into
Office of Training and Workforce
Engagement (OTWE), Law Enforcement
and Industry Training Division,
becoming the Canine Training and
Evaluation Branch (CTEB). As a result,
the new name of the collection is now
TSA Office of Training and Workforce
Engagement (OTWE) Canine Training
and Evaluation Branch (CTEB) End of
Course Level 1 Evaluation.
Information Collection Requirement
Title: End of Course Level 1
Evaluation.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently-approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0041.
Forms(s): TSA Form 1904A.
Affected Public: State and local law
enforcement officers as well as TSA
personnel who successfully complete
the TSA OTWE CTEB Explosives
Detection Canine Handlers Course,
Passenger Screening Canine Handler
Course, and the Supervisor/Trainer
Seminars.
Abstract: The OTWE CTEB Explosives
Detection Canine Handlers Course,
Passenger Screening Canine Handler
Course, and the Supervisor/Trainer
Seminars are given to state and local
law enforcement officers as well as TSA
personnel who are trained to be canine
handlers. The state and local personnel
participate under agency specific
cooperative agreements in that portion
of the TSA Grant program administered
by the National Explosives Detection
Canine Team Program (NEDCTP). The
‘‘End of Course Level 1 Evaluation’’
captures numerical ratings and written
comments about the quality of training
instruction provided from students who
successfully complete the OTWE CTEB
Explosives Detection Canine Handlers
Course, Passenger Screening Canine
Handler Course, and the Supervisor/
Trainer Seminars. The data are collected
in hardcopy form and are tabulated by

The surveys provide valuable feedback
to the Supervisory Air Marshal in

staff and supervisors on how the
training material was presented and
received. The Level 1 Evaluations are
voluntary 1 for students who
successfully complete training, and the
students may remain anonymous when
completing the survey, i.e., they have
the voluntary option to put their names
on the survey. The feedback is used to
improve the course curriculum.
Number of Respondents: Average 180
students per calendar year.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours:
Approximately one hour per
participant, 180 hours per calendar year.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on April 6,
