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
Title: Secure Flight Program.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0046.
Form(s): N/A.
Affected Public: Aircraft operators,
airport operators.
Abstract: TSA collects information
from covered aircraft operators,
including foreign air carriers, in order to
prescreen passengers under the Secure
Flight Program. The information
collected under the Secure Flight
Program is used for watch list matching,
for matching against lists of Known
Travelers, and to assess passenger risk
(e.g., to identify passengers who present
lower risk and may be eligible for
expedited screening). The collection
covers:
(1) Secure Flight Passenger Data
(SFPD) for passengers of covered
domestic and international flights
within, to, from, or over the continental
United States, as well as flights between
two foreign locations when operated by
a covered U.S. aircraft operator;
(2) SFPD for passengers of charter
operators and lessors of aircraft with a
maximum takeoff weight of over 12,500
pounds;
(3) certain identifying information for
non-traveling individuals that airport
operators or airport operator points of
contact seek to authorize to enter a
sterile area at a U.S. airport, for
example, to patronize a restaurant, to
escort a minor or a passenger with
disabilities, or for another approved
purpose; and
(4) registration information critical to
deployment of Secure Flight, such as
contact information, data format, or the
mechanism the covered aircraft

operators use to transmit SFPD and
other data.
TSA is revising this collection to add
the following additional categories of
information:
(5) Risk-based assessments generated
by U.S. aircraft operators using their
CAPPS are sent to Secure Flight for use
in risk-based analysis of passenger
information. The CAPPS assessments
are generated after analysis of the
underlying passenger and other
prescreening data is obtained by the
aircraft operator in the ordinary course
of business when the passenger makes
his or her reservation. The CAPPS
assessment, in turn, is used in the riskbased analysis of SFPD and other
prescreening data that produce a BPPR
for each passenger. Secure Flight
receives only the risk assessment
generated from the applicable CAPPS
data and not the underlying data. TSA
obtains important security value from
the risk assessment without receiving
the underlying privacy and other
information that are generated when
individuals make their flight
reservations. The CAPPS assessments
are designed to enhance TSA’s analysis
of passenger security risk and enable
TSA to make better passenger risk
decisions. A likely outcome of the
addition of CAPPS risk assessments to
Secure Flight’s risk-based analysis will
be the identification of additional lowrisk passengers who may be eligible for
expedited security screening at airports
with TSA Pre✓® lanes.
(6) FFCW generated by aircraft
operators also are sent to Secure Flight
regarding passengers who are frequent
flyer program members. These data also
are used in Secure Flight’s risk-based
analysis and may result in a passenger
being eligible for expedited screening.
(7) Lists of low-risk individuals who
are eligible for expedited screening
provided by Federal and non-federal
entities. In support of TSA Pre✓®, TSA
implemented expedited screening of
known or low-risk travelers. Federal and
non-federal list entities provide TSA
with a list of eligible low-risk
individuals to be used as part of Secure
Flight processes. Secure Flight identifies
individuals who should receive low risk
screening and transmits the appropriate
boarding pass printing result to the
aircraft operators.
Both the CAPPS risk assessments and
the FFCWs are generated from existing
data within aircraft operators’
reservations or other systems. The
systemic changes required to send these
data to Secure Flight varies by aircraft
operator.
Number of Respondents: 292.
