Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0035;
Enhanced Security Procedures at
Ronald Reagan Washington National
Airport (DCA). Each person who wishes
to operate an aircraft into and out of
DCA must designate a security
coordinator and adopt the DASSP. See
49 CFR 1562.21 and 1562.23. Once
aircraft operators have adopted the
DASSP, the operators must request a
tentative slot reservation from the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
and request authorization from TSA to
fly into or out of DCA. This information
is collected under OMB control number
1652–0033 TSA Airspace Waiver
Program. If TSA approves the flight,
TSA will transmit that information to
FAA.
Applicant Collection for DCA Access
Standard Security Program
The DASSP application collects basic
information about the applicant, the
aircraft operator, and the security
coordinator that the operator wishes to
designate, as well as the identifier of the
airport used as a base of operation and
whether the operator presently complies
with a TSA Standard Security Program.
TSA also requires the following
individuals to submit fingerprints for a
criminal history records check (CHRC)
and other identifying information for a
name-based security threat assessment:
Individuals designated as security
coordinators by Fixed Base Operators
(FBOs) under 49 CFR 1562.25 1 and GA
aircraft operators under 1562.23; flight
crewmembers who operate GA aircraft
1 An FBO is an airport-based commercial
enterprise that provides support services to aircraft
operators, such as maintenance, overnight parking,
fueling and de-icing.

into and out of DCA in accordance with
49 CFR 1562.23 and DASSP; and ASOs
approved in accordance with 49 CFR
part 1562.29. For flight crewmembers,
TSA also uses this information to check
their FAA records to determine whether
they have a record of violation of
specified FAA regulations. As part of
the threat assessment process, TSA
shares the information with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the
FAA.
Aircraft operators must also maintain
CHRC records of all employees and
authorized representatives for whom a
CHRC has been completed. These
records must be made available to TSA
upon request.
Applicant Collection for the Armed
Security Officer Program
Under the Armed Security Officers
Program, established by 49 CFR
1562.29, aircraft operators and FBOs
participating in this program can
nominate the individuals they would
like to be qualified as ASOs by
submitting an ASO nomination form to
TSA. Once nominated, the ASOs are
required to submit fingerprints and
identifying information, personal
history information, a photograph, and
weapon information before an ASO
application can be approved. TSA uses
the applicants’ information to conduct a
complete application vetting to include
fingerprint-based CHRC and security
threat assessment, including
employment history verification check
of all prior law enforcement positions.
Upon successful completion of these
checks and law enforcement
employment history review, TSA makes
the final determination of ASO
applicant eligibility. All qualified
applicants must then successfully
complete a TSA-approved training
course.
TSA estimates a total of 76
respondents annually for DASSP
applications, with an annual hour
burden estimate of 76. TSA adjusted the
2016 ICR submission respondent
numbers to reflect a burden based on
aircraft operators only. In addition, TSA
estimates 84 respondents annually for
ASO nominations, with an annual hour
burden of 98. The total number of
respondents is estimated to be 160, the
annual burden hours is estimated to be
174 hours per year.
