or component’s FOIA Officer whose
contact information can be found at
http://www.dhs.gov/foia under ‘‘Contact
Information.’’ If an individual believes
more than one component maintains
Privacy Act records concerning him or
her, the individual may submit the
request to the Chief Privacy Officer and
Chief Freedom of Information Act
Officer, U.S. Department of Homeland
Security, Washington, DC 20528–0655.
Even if neither the Privacy Act nor the
Judicial Redress Act provide a right of
access, certain records about you may be
available under the Freedom of
Information Act.
When an individual is seeking records
about himself or herself from this
system of records or any other
Departmental system of records, the
individual’s request must conform with
the Privacy Act regulations set forth in
6 CFR part 5. The individual must first
verify his/her identity, meaning that the
individual must provide his/her full
name, current address, and date and
place of birth. The individual must sign
the request, and the individual’s
signature must either be notarized or
submitted under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law
that permits statements to be made
under penalty of perjury as a substitute
for notarization. While no specific form
is required, an individual may obtain
forms for this purpose from the Chief
Privacy Officer and Chief Freedom of
Information Act Officer, http://
www.dhs.gov/foia or 1–866–431–0486.
In addition, the individual should:
• Explain why he or she believes the
Department would have information
being requested;
• Identify which component(s) of the
Department he or she believes may have
the information;
• Specify when the individual
believes the records would have been
created; and
• Provide any other information that
will help the FOIA staff determine
which DHS component agency may
have responsive records;
If the request is seeking records
pertaining to another living individual,
the request must include an
authorization from the individual whose
record is being requested, authorizing
the release to the requester.
Without the above information, the
component(s) may not be able to
conduct an effective search, and the
individual’s request may be denied due
to lack of specificity or lack of
compliance with applicable regulations.
CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:

For records covered by the Privacy
Act individuals may make a request for
amendment or correction of a record of

the Department about the individual by
writing directly to the Department
component that maintains the record,
unless the record is not subject to
amendment or correction. The request
should identify each particular record in
question, state the amendment or
correction desired, and state why the
individual believes that the record is not
accurate, relevant, timely, or complete.
The individual may submit any
documentation that would be helpful. If

records, the request should state that
and be addressed to each component
that maintains a system of records
containing the record.

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 1652–0001;
Imposition and Collection of Passenger
Civil Aviation Security Service Fees. In
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 44940 and
relevant TSA Regulations, see 49 CFR
part 1510, TSA imposes a Passenger
Civil Aviation Security Service Fee
(September 11th Security Fee) on
passengers of both foreign and domestic
air carriers (‘‘air carriers’’) on air

transportation originating at airports in
the United States.
The September 11th Security Fee is
collected by TSA and transmitted to the
U.S. Treasury Department to offset the
Federal Government’s costs of providing
civil aviation security services and other
purposes designated by section 44940.
This information collection requires air
carriers to submit to TSA information
regarding the amount of September 11th
Security Fees an air carrier has imposed,
collected, refunded to passengers, and
remitted to TSA. The retention of this
data is necessary for TSA to ensure the
proper imposition, collection, and
regulation the September 11th Security
Fee. Additionally, TSA collects the
information to monitor carrier
compliance with the fee requirements
and for auditing purposes. Air carriers
are required to retain this information
for three years. Specifically, information
collected during a given fiscal year
(October 1 through September 30) must
be retained through three subsequent
fiscal years. For example, information
collected during fiscal year 2020 must
be retained through fiscal year 2023.
TSA’s regulations require air carriers
to impose and collect the fee on
passengers, and to submit the fee to TSA
by the final day of the calendar month
following the month in which the fee
was collected. See 49 CFR 1510.13. Air
carriers are further required to submit
quarterly reports to TSA, which indicate
the amount of the fees imposed,
collected, and refunded to passengers,
and remitted to TSA. See 49 CFR
1510.17.
Each air carrier that collects security
service fees from more than 50,000
passengers annually is also required to
submit to TSA an annual independent
audit, performed by an independent
certified public accountant, of its
security service fee activities and
accounts. See 49 CFR 1510.15. Although
the annual independent audit
requirements were suspended on
January 23, 2003 (see 68 FR 3192), TSA
conducts its own audits of the air
carriers. See 49 CFR 1510.11.
Notwithstanding the suspension of the
audit requirements, air carriers must
establish and maintain an accounting
system to account for the security
service fees imposed, collected,
refunded to passengers and remitted to
TSA. See 49 CFR 1510.15(a).
TSA is seeking an extension of this
collection to require air carriers to
continue submitting the quarterly
reports to TSA, and to require air
carriers to retain the information for
three fiscal years after the fiscal year in
which the information was collected.
This requirement includes retaining the

VerDate Sep<11>2014

23:25 Dec 10, 2020

Jkt 253001

source information for the quarterly
reports remitted to TSA as well as the
calculations performed to create the
reports submitted to TSA. Should the
annual audit requirement be reinstated,
the requirement would include
information and documents reviewed
and prepared for the independent audit;
the accountant’s working papers, notes,
worksheets, and other relevant
documentation used in the audit; and, if
applicable, the specific information
leading to the accountant’s opinion,
including any determination that the
accountant could not provide an audit
opinion. Although TSA suspended the
independent audit requirement, TSA
conducts audits of the air carriers, and
therefore, requires air carriers to retain
and provide the same information as
required for the quarterly reports and
independent audits.
TSA has incorporated minor
adjustments to the figures used to
estimate the costs of this ICR. The
adjustments consider changes in the
number of regulated air carriers and
various administrative cost rates since
the previous extension. TSA estimates
that 170 total respondent air carriers
will each spend approximately 1 hour to
prepare and submit each quarterly
report. TSA estimates that these
respondents will incur a total of 680
hours (170 carriers × 4 quarterly reports
× 1 hour per report) to satisfy the
quarterly reporting requirements
annually.
TSA estimates 274 total responses
from all respondent air carriers (170
plus 104, should the annual audit
requirement be reinstated), with 2,760
burden hours (680 hours for quarterly
reports and 2,080 hours for audits)
annually to satisfy the quarterly report
and audit requirements.
TSA estimates that the 170 air carriers
will each incur an average cost of
$456.56 annually to satisfy the quarterly
reporting requirement. This estimate
includes $383.36 in labor for
preparation of each quarterly report (4
reports × $95.84 per hour, each
quarterly report is estimated to take 1
hour to prepare), $71.00 in annual
records storage related costs, and $2.20
for postage to submit the report (4
stamps at 55 cents each). TSA estimates
an aggregate annual cost of $77,615.20
($456.56 cost × 170 air carriers) for all
air carriers to prepare, store, and submit
quarterly reports and a cost of
$232,845.60 for the three-year extension
period requested.
Should TSA reinstate the audit
requirement, TSA estimates that 104 air
carriers, of the 170 total respondent
carriers that collect fees from more than
50,000 passengers annually, would be

required to submit annual audits. These
carriers would take approximately 20
hours for audit preparation, for a total
of 2,080 hours (104 carriers × 20 hours
per audit) annually. Air carriers
required to submit annual audits would
incur an average cost of $2,508.20 per
audit. This estimate includes $2,433.40
in labor for preparation of each audit (20
hours per report × $121.67 per hour),
$71.00 in annual records storage related
costs, and $3.80 for postage to submit
the report. TSA estimates an aggregate
annual cost of $13,042.64 ($2,508.20
cost × 104 air carriers × .05 likelihood
of audit to occur) for all air carriers to
prepare, store, and summit the annual
audit should the requirement be
reinstated and $39,127.92 for the threeyear extension period requested.
