The Crew Member Self-Defense Training Program enables TSA to train volunteer flight attendants, pilots, flight engineers, and navigators to defend themselves on an aircraft. Information collected as the result of this proposal would be used to register and enroll volunteer in self-defense training programs and obtain feedback from trainees on the quality of the training they received.
Since the previous Information Collection Request submission, TSA has been conducting most (70 percent) of this training at airline training centers. This has eliminated the need for individuals to enroll online, as the airlines provide a roster of their employees participating in the course. This also eliminated the need for Injury Waiver forms, as training at airline training centers is on airline property, not federal government property. Individual enrollments and Injury Waiver forms are now done only when training occurs at LE/FAMS field offices. Use of the Feedback tab occurs at the LE/FAMS field offices and not at the airline training centers. As a result, the response to the Feedback tab has reduced significantly as few individuals provide comments. TSA also removed costs that were not directly attributable to the information collection in Item 14.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
