AGENCY:

This notice announces that
the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) has forwarded the
new Information Collection Request
(ICR) abstracted below to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The
ICR describes the nature of the
information collection and its expected
burden. On July 18, 2017, TSA
published a Federal Register notice,
with a 60-day comment period soliciting
comments, of the following collection of
information. The collection involves the
submission of travel information to TSA
to provide wounded warriors, severely
injured military personnel, and certain
other travelers with assistance through
the airport security screening process.
DATES: Send your comments by
December 1, 2017. A comment to OMB

SUMMARY:

3 The cost burden in the 60-day Notice was
incorrectly based on the hourly cost accounting for
applicants’ lost wages. The 30-day Notice corrects
this to show the cost burden based instead on the
application fee, post-enrollment biometric
submission fee, and cost burden for corrections of
record.

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 will be
made available at http://
www.reginfo.gov upon its submission to
OMB. 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.
Consistent with the requirements of
Executive Order (E.O.) 13771, Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs, and E.O. 13777, Enforcing the
Regulatory Reform Agenda, TSA is also
requesting comments on the extent to
which this request for information could
be modified to reduce the burden on
respondents.

Abstract: Under the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act (ATSA),
TSA is responsible for security in all
modes of transportation including
screening operations for passenger air
transportation and for carrying out such
other duties relating to the
transportation security as it considers
appropriate. See sec. 101(a) of ATSA
(Pub. L. 107–71, 115 Stat. 597
(November 19, 2001) (codified at 49
U.S.C. 114). The Helping Heroes Fly Act
directs TSA to develop and implement
a process to support and facilitate the
ease of travel and, to the extent possible,
provide expedited passenger screening
services for severely injured or disabled
members of the Armed Forces and
severely injured or disabled veterans
through passenger screening. See sec. 2
of the Helping Heroes Fly Act (Pub. L.
113–27, 127 Stat. 503 (Aug. 9, 2013)
(codified at 49 U.S.C. 44927). Based on
these requirements, TSA established the
MSIJSOC and TPO programs to support
and facilitate the movement of wounded
warriors, severely injured military
personnel, veterans, and other travelers
requiring an escort through the airport
security screening process.
To implement the MSIJSCO and TPO
programs, TSA must collect the
passenger’s name, flight itinerary
(scheduled flight departure and arrival
information), and contact information to
successfully facilitate movements
through the screening process at U.S.
airports and its territories. TSA shares
this information with airports on the
passenger’s itinerary to coordinate
efforts, to synchronize seamless
transitions with the affected parties, and
protect security operations.
Number of Respondents: 14,934.1
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 1,245 hours annually.
Dated: October 27, 2017.
