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).

ACTION: 60-Day notice.
AGENCY:

The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) invites public
comment on one currently approved
Information Collection Request (ICR),
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number 1652–0021,
abstracted below, that we will submit to
OMB for an extension in compliance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA). The ICR describes the nature of
the information collection and its
expected burden. The collection
involves information necessary to
conduct security threat assessments for
all aliens and other designated
individuals seeking flight instruction
(‘‘candidates’’) from Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA)-certified flight
training providers. Pursuant to statute,
TSA will use the information collected
to determine whether a candidate poses
or is suspected of posing a threat to
aviation or national security, and thus
prohibited from receiving flight training.
Additionally, flight training providers

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
respondents.
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

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.

Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0060;
Aircraft Repair Station Security. In
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 44924 and 49
CFR part 1554, TSA performs security
reviews and audits of aircraft repair
stations located within and outside of
the United States.
On December 12, 2003, the President
of the United States signed into law the
Vision 100 Century of Aviation
Reauthorization Act (the Act). Section
611 of the Act requires the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) to ensure
the security of aircraft repair stations.
The Act further requires a security
review and audit of repair stations
located outside the United States, with
a 145-certificate issued by the FAA.
TSA, on behalf of DHS, is the agency to
conduct the relevant tasks associated
with this legislation. In response to the
Act, TSA published a final rule setting
forth the new requirements. See 79 FR
2119 (January 13, 2014).
Repair stations certificated by the
FAA under part 145 and located on or
adjacent to an airport, as defined in 49
CFR 1554.101(a)(1) and (2), are required
to implement security requirements.
Unless located on a military installation,
these repair stations are subject to
inspection by TSA.
The required security measures
include designating a TSA point of
contact and preventing the operation of
unattended large aircraft that are
capable of flight. A repair station owner
or operator also is responsible for
maintaining updated employment
history records to demonstrate
compliance with the regulatory

PO 00000

Frm 00036

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

requirements. These records must be
made available to TSA upon request. If
TSA discovers security deficiencies, a
repair station may be subject to
suspension or, in extreme cases,
withdrawal of its certification by the
FAA if such deficiencies are not
corrected. A repair station owner or
operator may petition for
reconsideration (appeal) of a
determination by TSA that FAA must
suspend or revoke its certificate. TSA
uses the collected information to
determine compliance with the security
measures required under 49 CFR part
1554.
The respondents to this information
collection are the owners and/or
operators of repair stations certificated
by the FAA under 14 CFR part 145,
which is estimated to be 4,013 aircraft
repair stations located in the United
States and 874 repair stations located
outside the United States.
Respondent repair stations are
required to submit and update Security
point of contact (POC) information,
respond to requests to inspect
documentation, and may petition for
reconsideration. For these activities,
TSA estimates that all respondent repair
stations will incur a total of 1,176 hours
annually to satisfy the collection
requirements.
Dated: June 28, 2018.
