This information collection permits
TSA to conduct a more effective oversight, planning, and regulatory
function related to the affected parties, i.e., airport operators.
The airport operators are charged under 49 CFR part 1542 with
providing a safe and secure operating environment in which
commercial passenger and other operations are conducted.
TSA revised its burden
estimates from the previous Information Collection Request
submission based on the latest available data. There was a change
in both the number of responses and burden hours associated with
this collection. There was a decrease in the average annual
inspections, wage rate of a TSA TSI who conducts inspections of
airport operators, and a decrease in the total annual cost burden.
There was a decrease in the wage rate of airport employees
requiring a CHRC. The Employment Standards Recordkeeping hour
burden was eliminated due to no longer being applicable to this
information collection request.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
