SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501

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

Information Collection
Title: Airport Security, 49 CFR part
1542.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0002.
Forms(s): NA.
Affected Public: Airport operators
regulated under 49 CFR part 1542.
Abstract: TSA is seeking to revise its
OMB control number 1652–0002,
Airport Security, 49 CFR part 1542 to
include the recordkeeping requirements
under OMB control number 1652–0006,
Employment Standards. The
information collection is used to
determine compliance with 49 CFR part
1542 and to ensure passenger safety and
security by verifying airport operator
compliance with security procedures.
The following information collections
and other recordkeeping requirements
with which respondent airport operators
must comply also fall under this OMB
control number: (1) Development of an

Airport Security Program (ASP),
submission to TSA, and ASP
implementation; (2) as applicable,
development of ASP amendments,
submission to TSA, and
implementation; (3) collection of data
necessary to complete a criminal history
records check (CHRC) for those
individuals with unescorted 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); (5) recordkeeping requirements
associated with records required for
compliance with the regulation, and for
compliance with Security Directives
(SDs); and (6) watch list matching of
individuals subject to TSA’s regulatory
requirements against government watch
lists.
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.
Number of Respondents: 438.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 1,657,102 hours annually.

abstracted below to OMB for review and
approval of a revision to the currently
approved collection under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The
ICR describes the nature of the
information collection and its expected
burden. TSA published a Federal
Register notice, with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments, of the
following collection of information on
February 4, 2015, 80 FR 6097. The
collection involves information that
certain U.S. aircraft operators and
foreign air carriers (collectively
‘‘covered aircraft operators’’) submit to
Secure Flight for the purposes of
identifying and protecting against
potential and actual threats to
transportation security and identifying
individuals who are a lower risk to
transportation security and therefore
may be eligible for expedited screening.
TSA is revising this collection to
include the addition of risk-based
assessments generated by aircraft
operators using data in their Computer
Assisted Passenger Prescreening
Systems (CAPPS), Frequent Flyer Code
Words (FFCWs) generated by aircraft
operators, and the collection of lists of
low-risk individuals provided by nonfederal entities who are eligible for
expedited screening. The CAPPS
assessments and FFCWs are used in
risk-based analysis of Secure Flight and
other prescreening data that produces a
boarding pass printing result (BPPR) for
each passenger.
DATES: Send your comments by January
19, 2016. A comment to OMB is most
effective if OMB receives it within 30
days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, OMB. Comments should be
addressed to Desk Officer, Department
of Homeland Security/TSA, and sent via
electronic mail to oira_submission@

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.
