The rule establishing this collection
requires the establishment of security measures that permit normal
flight operations to resume at the Maryland-3 airports (College
Park Airport (CGS), Potomac Airfield (VKX), and Washington
Executive/Hyde Field (W32)). To that end, TSA requires applicants
seeking to fly to or from one of the Maryland-3 airports to submit
personal information and fingerprints so that TSA can issue a
personal identification number (PIN) and the FBI can conduct
security threat assessments.
US Code:
49
USC 114 Name of Law: Transportation Security Administration
TSA now allows for the
electronic submission of certain information from applicants,
including: application, FAA Medical Certificate, FAA Airman
Certificate (Pilot), DC Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA) Training
Certificate, and a Government Issued Photo I.D. As a result,
applicants no longer are required to travel round-trip to an FAA
Flight Standarads District Office (FSDO). This change has resulted
in a decrease of an average of six hours travel time per applicant.
TSA has submitted this collection as a Deregulatory Action.
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 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
