Short Statement: TSA is requesting a modification of OMB Control Number 1652-0002 in order to simplify TSA collections and to reduce duplication. TSA is including in this collection the recordkeeping requirements under OMB Control Number 1652-0006 Employment Standards, which apply to 49 CFR Part 1542. Upon OMB approval of this revision, TSA intends to discontinue OMB Control Number 1652-0006 Employment Standards. TSA has revised the following assumptions relating to the cost burden estimates in Item 14: a decrease in the number of airports regulated under 49 CFR Part 1542 due to a decision made by the airport operator to no longer participate as a regulated entity; an increase in the wage rate of TSA inspectors, and an increase in the hour burden per inspection
