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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

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
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

of 5,000 hours.

Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0033;
TSA Airspace Waiver Program. TSA is
seeking approval to renew this
collection of information. The airspace
waiver program allows U.S. and foreign
general aviation aircraft operators to
apply for approval to operate in U.S.
restricted airspace, including over flying
the United States and its territories. This
program includes both processing of
applications for airspace waivers and
flight authorizations for the DCA Access
Standard Security Program flights,
which entails name-based security
threat assessments for all passengers,
flight crews and armed security officers
on board each flight. TSA uses the
information to conduct security threat
assessments of persons on these flights
to protect against and mitigate threats to
transportation security.
TSA collects information from
applicants applying for a waiver or
flight authorization either online via
https://waivers.faa.gov, or by
completing a waiver or flight
authorization form requested via
facsimile. It is recommended that
applicants submit the request
electronically within five business days
prior to the start date of the flight. To
obtain a waiver, the aircraft operator
must submit information about the
flight and provide certain information
about all passengers and crew on board
the flight for TSA to perform a security
threat assessment on each individual.
To obtain a flight authorization, the
aircraft operator must submit
information about all passengers, flight
crews and armed security officers on
board each flight for TSA to perform a
name-based security threat assessment
on each individual. Specifically, waiver
or flight authorization requests must
include the purpose of the flight, the
aircraft type and registration number,
including aircraft operator’s company

name and address, and the proposed
itinerary. Additionally, aircraft
operators must provide the names, dates
and places of birth, and Social Security
or passport numbers of all passengers,
crew and in the case of flight
authorization, armed security officers.
The current estimated annual reporting
burden is 7,099 hours.
