Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 130 / Friday, July 6, 2018 / Notices
which requires name-based security
threat assessments for all passengers,
flight crews and armed security officers
on board each flight. TSA uses the
information to conduct security threat
assessments of persons on these flights
to protect against and mitigate threats to
transportation security.
TSA collects information from
applicants applying for a waiver or
flight authorization either online via
https://waivers.faa.gov, or by
completing a waiver or flight
authorization form requested via
facsimile. It is recommended that
applicants submit the request
electronically within five business days
prior to the start date of the flight. To
obtain a waiver, the aircraft operator
must submit information about the
flight and provide certain information
about all passengers and crew on board
the flight for TSA to perform a security
threat assessment on each individual.
To obtain a flight authorization, the
aircraft operator must submit
information about all passengers, flight
crews, and armed security officers on
board each flight for TSA to perform a
name-based security threat assessment
on each individual. Specifically, waiver
and flight authorization requests must
include the purpose of the flight, the
aircraft type and registration number,
including aircraft operator’s company
name and address, and the proposed
itinerary. Additionally, aircraft
operators must provide the names, dates
and places of birth, and Social Security
or passport numbers of all passengers
and crew, and, in the case of flight
authorizations, armed security officers.
The current estimated annual reporting
burden is 7,078 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments Invited
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
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

Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0044;
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) Traveler Redress Inquiry Program
(DHS TRIP). DHS TRIP is a single point
of contact for individuals who have
inquiries or seek resolution regarding
difficulties they have experienced
during their travel screening. These
difficulties could include: (1) Denied or
delayed boarding; (2) denied or delayed
entry into or departure from the United
States at a port of entry; or (3) identified
for additional (secondary) screening at
our Nation’s transportation facilities,
including airports, seaports, train
stations and land borders. The TSA
manages the DHS TRIP office on behalf
of DHS. To request redress, individuals
are asked to provide identifying
information, as well as details of their
travel experience in two surveys.
The DHS TRIP office serves as a
centralized intake office for traveler
requests for redress and uses the online
Traveler Inquiry Form (TIF) to collect
requests for redress. DHS TRIP then
passes the information to the relevant
DHS TRIP practitioner office(s),
including components of DHS, the U.S.
Department of State, and the U.S.
Department of Justice, to process the
request, as appropriate. Participating
DHS components include TSA, U.S.
Customs and Border Protection, U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement,
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services, the National Protection and
Programs Directorate’s Office of
Biometric Information Management,
Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties,
and the Privacy Office, along with the
U.S. Department of State, Bureau of
Consular Affairs, and the U.S.
Department of Justice, Terrorist
Screening Center. This collection serves
to distinguish misidentified individuals
from an individual actually on any
watch list that DHS uses, to initiate the
correction of erroneous information
about an individual contained in
government-held records, which are
leading to travel difficulties, and, where
appropriate, to help streamline and
expedite future check-in or border
crossing experiences. It also serves to
obtain information about the redress
applicants’ level of satisfaction with the
DHS TRIP application process with the
aim of using this information to identify
areas for improvement.
DHS estimates completing the form,
and gathering and submitting the
information will take approximately one
hour. The annual respondent
population was derived from data

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 130 / Friday, July 6, 2018 / Notices

contained within the DHS case
management database and reflects the
actual number of respondents for the
most recent calendar year. The
estimated annual number of burden
hours for passengers seeking redress,
based on 15,000 annual respondents, is
15,000 hours (15,000 × 1). DHS
estimates 10 percent of the 15,000
respondents completing the form will
complete the two surveys to share
details of their application experience.
The completion of the surveys will take
approximately 10 minutes, giving an
estimated annual number of burden
hours as 250 (1,500 × .0167). The total
estimated annual number of burden
hours for this collection is 15,250
(15,000 + 250).

Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0021,
Flight Training for Aliens and Other
Designated Individuals; Security
Awareness Training for Flight School
Employees, 49 CFR part 1552. Under 49
CFR part 1552, TSA conducts security
threat assessments for all aliens and
other designated individuals seeking

PO 00000

Frm 00035

Fmt 4703

flight instruction with Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA)-certified flight
training providers.1 The purpose of this
requirement is to ensure flight training
candidates do not pose a threat to
aviation or national security and thus
permitted to receive flight training. The
collection of information required under
49 CFR part 1552 includes candidates’
biographic information and fingerprints,
which TSA uses to perform the security
threat assessment.
Additionally, flight training providers
are required to maintain records of
security awareness training provided to
their employees. See subpart B of 49
CFR part 1552. This training, which is
intended to increase awareness of
suspicious circumstances and activities
of individuals enrolling in, or attending,
flight training, must be provided to
certain employees within 60 days of
being hired and on an annual recurring
basis. The flight training providers must
maintain records of the training
completed throughout the course of the
individual’s employment, and for one
year after the individual is no longer a
flight training provider employee.2
Based on the numbers of respondents
to date, TSA estimates a total of 71,600
respondents annually: 53,900 candidate
training requests, 5,600 flight training
providers’ candidates and employee
records and an additional 12,100 flight
training providers’ employee records.
Respondents are required to provide the
subject information every time an alien
or other designated individual applies
for pilot training as described in the
regulation. TSA estimates an average of
45 minutes to complete each
application, for a total approximate
application burden of 40,425 hours per
year. Flight training providers must
keep records for each flight training
candidate for five years from the time
they are created. TSA estimates an
average of 5 minutes per training record,
for a total approximate recordkeeping
hour burden of 4,492 hours. TSA
estimates an average of 5 minutes per
record of security awareness training of
flight school employees, for a total
approximate recordkeeping hour burden
of 5,750 hours. Thus, TSA estimates the
combined hour burden associated with
this collection to be 50,667 hours
annually.

May 2018, TSA published a notice to reopen
the comment period on this regulation. See 83 FR
23238 (May 18, 2018). The comment period closed
on June 18, 2018. As part of the notice, TSA
specifically requested ways to reduce the burden of
recordkeeping.
