applicable, and to make their security
programs and associated records
available for inspection and copying by
TSA to ensure transportation security
and regulatory compliance.
In addition, part 1544 requires the
affected aircraft operators to submit
information on aircraft operators’ flight
crews and other employees, passengers,
and cargo. The information collection
includes information regarding security
program, amendments, fingerprintbased criminal history records check
(CHRC) applications; recordkeeping
requirements for security program,
CHRCs, and training; watchlist
matching for employees and reporting
matches to TSA; watchlist matching for
passengers in case of Secure Flight
outages; and incident and suspicious
activity reporting. Aircraft operators
may provide the information
electronically or manually.
Aircraft operators must ensure that
certain flight crew members and
employees (including certain contract
employees and authorized
representatives) submit to and receive a
CHRC. These requirements apply to
flight crew members and employees
with unescorted access authority to a
Security Identification Display Area
(SIDA) or who perform screening,
checked baggage, or cargo functions. As
part of the CHRC process, the individual
must provide identifying information,
including fingerprints. Additionally,
aircraft operators must maintain these
records and make them available to TSA
for inspection and copying upon
request.
TSA is revising the information
collection and will no longer collect
information regarding watchlist
matching for Secure Flight outages. TSA
has assumed from the private sector the
responsibility for pre-flight screening of
passengers and certain non-traveling
individuals against the Federal
Government watchlist, as required by
sec. 4012(a) of the Intelligence Reform
and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004,1
and consolidation of the aviation
passenger watchlist matching function
within one agency of the Federal
Government. TSA no longer requires
airlines to compare passenger names to
watchlists during a Secure Flight
outage. TSA estimates that there will be
approximately 673 respondents to the
information requirements described
above, with a total annual burden
estimate of approximately 569,686
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 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 1652–0053,
Certified Cargo Screening Standard
Security Program, 49 CFR parts 1515,
1540, 1544, 1546, 1548, and 1549.
Section 1602 of the Implementing
Recommendations of the 9/11
Commission Act of 2007 1 (9/11 Act)
required the development of a system to
screen 100 percent of such cargo no
later than August 2010. This
requirement was implemented through
TSA’s regulations, including
amendments to parts 1515, 1520, 1540,
1544, 1546, 1548 and adding part 1549.
See 76 FR 51848 (Aug. 18, 2011). As

certifies qualified facilities as Certified
Cargo Screening Facilities (CCSF) to
screen cargo as part of the Certified
Cargo Screening Standard Security
Program (CCSSSP).
Section 1941 of the TSA
Modernization Act 2 amended provision
in the 9/11 Act to require TSA to
develop a program to enhance the
screening of air cargo by leveraging the
capabilities of third-party explosives
detection canine teams. TSA must
ensure the program provides for
certified canine teams to conduct
primary screening of air cargo for ‘‘air
carriers, foreign air carriers, freight
forwarders, and shippers.’’ Id.
Facilities-based CCSFs may screen
cargo off-airport and must implement
measures to ensure a secure chain of
custody from the point of screening to
the point at which the cargo is tendered
to the aircraft operator. A CCSF–K9 is
an inherently mobile capability that can
screen cargo at the facility owned and
operated by one of TSA’s regulated
entities. All CCSFs are required to
engage TSA to assess whether a person
or entity meets the standards of their
security program. The ICR allows TSA
to collect several categories of
information as explained below.
In this ICR, TSA currently collects the
following information:
(1) CCSF Applications. Under TSA
regulations, an applicant is required to
submit an application to become a CCSF
at least 90 days before the intended date
of operation, the contents of which are
contained in 49 CFR 1549.7. In addition,
once certified as a CCSF, the CCSF is
required to submit any changes to the
application information as they occur.
CCSFs must renew their certification
every 36 months by submitting a new
complete application. CCSF applicants
are required to provide TSA access to
their records, equipment, and facilities
necessary for TSA to conduct an
eligibility assessment. (49 CFR 1549.7).
(2) STA Applications. TSA
regulations require that CCSF applicants
ensure that individuals performing
cargo screening and related functions,
and their supervisors have completed an
STA conducted by TSA. In addition,
TSA regulations require CCSF Security
Coordinators and their alternates to
successfully have completed an STA.
TSA regulations further require these
individuals to submit personally
identifiable information so that TSA can
perform STAs. See TSA Form 419F,
previously approved under OMB
2 Division K of the FAA Reauthorization Act of
2018, Public Law 115–254; Stat. 132–3186 (Oct. 6,
2018).

control number 1652–0040 (49 CFR
1549.111, and 1549.103).
(3) Security Programs. TSA requires
CCSFs to accept and operate under a
standard security program provided by
TSA, or submit a proposed modified
security program or amendment(s) to
the designated TSA official for approval
initially and periodically thereafter as
required. (49 CFR 1549.7).
(4) Recordkeeping. Require CCSFs to
maintain records of compliance and
make them available for TSA inspection
(49 CFR 1549.105).
TSA is revising the collection in
response to changing conditions in the
air cargo industry. To meet the demand
of the enhanced air cargo screening
standards of the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) and
requirements of the TSA Modernization
Act,3 TSA created the 3PK9–C program
to provide an additional air cargo
screening method under TSA’s
regulations. Under this program, canine
team providers can apply to be CCSF–
K9s, regulated under 49 CFR part 1549.
As holders of a CCSP–K9 security
program, they can contract with air
carriers and standard CCSFs to screen
air cargo with canine explosives
detection teams. The 3PK9–C program
allows non-governmental certifiers,
operating under the 3PK9–C Certifier
Order, to evaluate canine teams to
determine whether these teams meet the
TSA certification standards.
Due to the additional development of
the 3PK9–C Program, the current
information collection request will be
revised to include the following:
(1a) 3PK9–C Certifier Applications.
TSA will require initial applications
and changes to information in the
application for any 3PK9–C Certifier,
intending to operate under the 3PK9–C
Certifier Order.
(1b) CCSF–K9 Applications. Under
TSA regulations, an applicant is
required to submit an application to
become a CCSF at least 90 days before
the intended date of operation unless
otherwise authorized by TSA. The
contents of the initial application are
contained in 49 CFR 1549.7. In addition,
once certified as a CCSF, the CCSF–K9
will be required to submit an
Operational Implementation Plan (OIP),
described within the CCSP–K9 and any
changes to the application information
as they occur. CCSF–K9s must renew
their certification every 36 months by
submitting a new complete application.
CCSF–K9 applicants will be required to
provide TSA access to their records,
equipment, and facilities necessary for

TSA to conduct an eligibility
assessment. (49 CFR 1549.7).
(2) STA Applications. TSA
regulations require that individuals
performing screening and related
functions, their supervisors, those
authorized to conduct 3PK9–C Program
activities, and people supporting these
functions successfully have completed
an STA conducted by TSA. In addition,
TSA regulations require CCSF Security
Coordinators and their alternates to
successfully have completed an STA.
TSA regulations further require these
individuals to submit personally
identifiable information so that TSA can
perform STAs. See TSA Form 419F,
previously approved under OMB
control number 1652–0040 (49 CFR
1549.111, and 1549.103).
(3a) Security Programs. TSA will
require CCSF–K9s to accept and operate
under a standard security program
provided by TSA, or submit a proposed
modified security program or
amendment(s) to the designated TSA
official for approval initially and
periodically thereafter as required. (49
CFR 1549.7).
(3b) The 3PK9–C Certifier Order. TSA
will require 3PK9–C Certifiers to accept
standards provided by TSA, or submit a
proposed modified standard to the
designated TSA official for approval
initially and periodically thereafter as
required.
(4) Recordkeeping. TSA will require
3PK9–C Certifiers and CCSF–K9s to
maintain records of compliance with the
Order and the CFR, making them
available for TSA inspection (49 CFR
1549.105).
(5) Significant Security Concerns
Information. TSA will require 3PK9–C
Certifiers, and CCSP–K9 Holders to
report to TSA incidents, suspicious
activities, and/or threat information.
(6) Security Coordinator. TSA will
require 3PK9–C Certifiers and CCSF–
K9s to provide the name and contact
information of the Security Coordinator
(SC) and one or more designated
alternates at the corporate or ownership
level.
Estimated Burden Hours
As noted above, TSA has identified
several separate information collections
under this ICR. The 3PK9–C Certifiers
information collections represent an
estimated average of 79 respondents
annually, including security threat
assessment applicants for 3PK9–C, for
an average annual hour burden of 2,555
hours. The CCSP–K9 Holder and
Certified 3PK9–C Team information
collections represent an estimated
average of 567 respondents annually,
including security threat assessment

applicants for CCSP–K9 Holder and
Certified 3PK9–C Teams, for an average
annual hour burden of 496 hours. The
CCSF information collections represent
an estimated average of 6,320
respondents annually, for an average
annual hour burden of 6,124 hours.
Collectively, these information
collections represent an estimated
average of 6,966 respondents annually,

In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the
general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
On June 11, 2018, we published a
Federal Register notice requesting
comments on this collection of
information (83 FR 27017). In that
notice, we invited comments for 60
days, ending on August 10, 2018. We
received one comment that did not
address the information collection
requirements. We made no changes in
response to that comment.
We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Service; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Service enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Service minimize the burden
of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your that your
entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may

Abstract: The National Wildlife
Refuge System Administration Act of
1966 (16 U.S.C. 668dd–668ee), as
amended by the National Wildlife
Refuge System Improvement Act of
1997, and the Refuge Recreation Act of
1962 (16 U.S.C. 460k–460k–4), govern
the administration and uses of national
wildlife refuges and wetland
management districts. The

Administration Act authorizes us to
permit public uses, including hunting
and fishing, on lands of the Refuge
System when we find that the activity
is compatible and appropriate with the
purpose for which the refuge was
established. The Recreation Act allows
the use of refuges for public recreation
when the use is not inconsistent or does
not interfere with the primary
purpose(s) of the refuge.
We use FWS Form 3–2405 (SelfClearing Check-In Permit) to collect user
information on hunting and fishing on
refuges. This form offers a self-check-in
feature not found on other similar
forms, reducing the number of staffed
check-in stations. We found this method
increases game harvest reporting and
provides better estimates of total
numbers of game harvested. This form
also requests users to report other
species observed, data then used by
refuge staff and state agencies for
managing wildlife populations. Not all
refuges will use this form and some
refuges may collect the identical
information in a nonform format
(meaning there is no designated form
associated with the collection of
information). We collect:
• Information on the visitor (name,
address, and contact information). We
use this information to identify the
visitor or driver/passengers of a vehicle
while on the refuge. Having this
information readily available is critical
in a search and rescue situation. We do
not maintain or record this information.
• Information on whether or not
hunters/anglers were successful
(number and type of harvest/caught).
• Purpose of visit (hunting, fishing,
wildlife observation, wildlife
photography, auto touring, birding,
hiking, boating/canoeing, visitor center,
special event, environmental education
class, volunteering, other recreation).
• Species observed.
• Date of visit.
The above information is a vital tool
in meeting refuge objectives and
maintaining quality visitor experiences.
It helps us:
• Administer and monitor the quality
of visitor programs and facilities on
refuges.
• Minimize resource disturbance,
manage healthy game populations, and
ensure the protection of fish and
wildlife species through the check-in/
out process.
• Assist in Statewide wildlife
management and enforcement and
develop reliable estimates of the number
of key game fish and wildlife, like the
Louisiana black bear (a recently delisted
species).
