Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 169 / Tuesday, September 1, 2015 / Notices

withdrawal of its certification by the
FAA if such deficiencies are not
corrected. A repair station owner or
operator may petition for
reconsideration (appeal) a
determination by TSA that FAA must
suspend or revoke its certificate. Newly
certificated repair stations located
outside of the U.S. may be required to
respond to paper and desk audits by
completing a form and returning it to
TSA. TSA uses the collected
information to determine compliance
with the security measures required
under 49 CFR part 1554.
TSA received approval from OMB for
the collection of information on June 4,
2014, which is approved through
December 2015. TSA now seeks to
extend this approval from OMB to
continue collecting information relating
to recordkeeping of employment history
records, petitions for reconsideration,
and paper/desk audits. Accordingly,
TSA must proceed with this ICR for this
program in order to continue to comply
with statutory mandates.
The respondents to this information
collection are the owners and/or
operators of repair stations certificated
by the FAA under 14 CFR part 145,
which is estimated to be 451 repair
stations located in the U.S. and 772
repair stations located outside the U.S.
TSA has completed a security audit of
707 repair stations located outside the
U.S. as required by the statute. TSA
estimates that 225 stations located on or
adjacent to airports may be required to
provide records to TSA in the event a
security deficiency is identified and is
not immediately corrected. Each
respondent repair station would spend
approximately 1 hour to provide
information to inspectors and would
incur a total of 225 burden hours (225
repair stations * 1 hour).
In addition, there are 65 repair
stations that received certification after
the original security audit was
completed. These newly certificated
repair stations may be required to
provide records to TSA upon request.
Each respondent repair station would
spend approximately 2 hours to prepare
and submit records. TSA estimates that
respondents will incur a total of 130
burden hours (65 repair stations * 2
hours) to satisfy the recordkeeping
requirement.
TSA estimates that of the 451 repair
stations within the U.S required to
implement security measures, 151
repair stations will be required to
provide records to TSA upon request.
Each respondent repair station will
spend approximately 2 hours to prepare
and submit records. TSA estimates that
respondents will incur a total of 302

burden hours (151 repair stations * 2
hours) to satisfy the recordkeeping
requirement.
TSA estimates that of the 451 repair
stations within the U.S., 1 repair station
will petition for reconsideration. The
respondent repair station will spend
approximately 10 hours to complete the
process. Once a repair station receives a
written notice of security deficiencies,
the repair station must respond in
writing within 45 days describing the
measures implemented to correct the
deficiencies. If the repair station fails to
correct the deficiencies within 90 days,
TSA will issue a notice to the repair
station and to the FAA that the
certificate must be suspended. A repair
station may petition for review of that
determination within 20 days by
providing a written response including
any information TSA should consider in
reviewing its decision. TSA estimates
that the respondent will incur a total of
10 burden hours (1 repair station * 10
hours).
TSA estimates that all respondents
repair stations will incur a total of 657
hours (355 outside the U.S. and 312
within the U.S.) annually to satisfy the
collection requirements. Therefore, the
total average annual hour burden
estimate is approximately 657 hours.
There is no cost burden to respondents
as a result of this collection.

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

Airport Security, 49 CFR part 1542. TSA
is seeking to renew its OMB control
number 1652–0002, Airport Security, 49
CFR part 1542. The information
collection is used to determine
compliance with 49 CFR part 1542 and
to ensure passenger safety and security
by monitoring airport operator security
procedures. The following information
collections and other recordkeeping
requirements with which respondent
airport operators must comply fall
under this OMB control number: (1)
Development of an Airport Security
Program (ASP) and submission to TSA;
(2) submission of ASP amendments to
TSA when applicable; (3) collection of
data necessary to complete a criminal

history records check (CHRC) for those
individuals with access to a Security
Identification Display Area (SIDA); (4)
submission to TSA of identifying
information about individuals to whom
the airport operator has issued
identification media, such as name,
address, and country of birth, in order
for TSA to conduct a Security Threat
Assessment (STA); and (5)
recordkeeping requirements associated
with records required for compliance
with the regulation, and for compliance
with Security Directives (SDs).
This information collection is
mandatory for airport operators. As part
of their security programs, affected
airport operators are required to
maintain and update, as necessary,
records of compliance with the security
program provisions set forth in 49 CFR
part 1542. This regulation also requires
affected airport operators to make their
security programs and associated
records available for inspection and
copying by TSA to verify compliance
with transportation security regulations.
As required by 49 CFR part 1542,
airport operators must ensure that
individuals seeking unescorted access
authority submit information for and
receive a CHRC, as well as submit
information so that TSA can conduct an
STA. As part of this process, the
individual must provide identifying
information, including fingerprints.
Additionally, airport operators must
maintain these records and make them
available to TSA for inspection and
copying upon request.
TSA will continue to collect
information to determine airport
operator compliance with other
requirements of 49 CFR part 1542. TSA
estimates that there will be
approximately 438 airport operator
respondents to the information
collection requirements described
above, with a total annual burden
estimate of approximately 1,607,260
hours.

Information Collection Requirement
1652–0011; Federal Flight Deck
Officer Program. The Transportation
Security Administration (TSA) initially
required this information collection
under the authority of the Arming Pilots
Against Terrorism Act (APATA), Title
XIV of the Homeland Security Act (Nov.
25, 2002), sec. 1402(a), as amended by
title VI of the Vision 100—Century of
Aviation Reauthorization Act (Vision
100) (Dec. 12, 2003), sec. 609(b). See
Public Law 107–296, 116 Stat. 2300, as
codified at 49 U.S.C. 44921, and Public
Law 108–176, 117 Stat. 2570, as
codified at 49 U.S.C. 44921,
respectively. TSA is seeking to renew
this information collection in order to
continue collecting the information
described in this notice to comply with
its statutory mission. The APATA
required TSA to establish a program to
deputize volunteer pilots of passenger
air carriers as Federal law enforcement
officers to defend the flight deck of their
aircraft against acts of criminal violence
or air piracy. With the enactment of
Vision 100, eligibility to participate in
the FFDO program expanded to include
pilots of all-cargo aircraft, as well as
flight engineers and navigators on both
passenger and cargo aircraft.
In order to screen volunteers for entry
into the FFDO program, TSA collects
information, including name, address,
prior address information, personal
references, criminal history, limited
medical information, financial
information, and employment
information, from applicants through
comprehensive applications they submit
to TSA. In addition, standard operating
procedures require deputized FFDOs to
report certain prescribed incidents to
TSA so that appropriate records are
created for evidentiary, safety, and
security purposes. TSA uses the
information collected to assess the
qualifications and suitability of
prospective and current FFDOs through
an online application, to ensure the
readiness of every FFDO, to administer
the program, and for other
transportation security purposes. Based
on the average number of new
applicants to the FFDO program, TSA
estimates a total of 5,000 respondents
annually. TSA estimates that the online
