TSA issued an interim final rule to
restore access to Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) for certain
aircraft operations while maintaining the security of critical
Federal Government and other assets in the Washington, DC
metropolitan area. The IFR and this information collection apply to
all general aviation operations into or out of DCA. TSA’s
regulations require GA aircraft operators to designate a security
coordinator and adopt a DCA Access Standard Security Program
(DASSP). As part of the DASSP, the regulations require GA aircraft
operators to ensure all flight crewmembers, armed security officers
(ASOs), and security coordinators have undergone a
fingerprint-based criminal history records check (CHRC).

No program changes or
adjustments have been made. However, TSA corrected the respondent
numbers for the DASSP application. Previously, TSA inaccurately
provided the number of annual responses instead of the number of
annual respondents. The correction reduces the overall respondent
numbers for the information collection from 704 to 160.
