number. The ICR documentation will be
available at https://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.
Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0043; Law
Enforcement/Federal Air Marshal
Service Physical and Mental Health
Certification. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C.
44917, TSA has authority to deploy
Federal Air Marshals (FAMs) on
passenger flights and to provide
appropriate training, supervision, and
equipment of FAMs. Pursuant to this
authority, TSA requires that applicants/
incumbents for FAM positions meet
certain physical and mental health
standards.
TSA has established medical
guidelines designed to ensure FAMs can
safely and effectively perform the tasks
essential to the arduous, rigorous, and
hazardous functions of the FAM
position. The medical guidelines ensure
a level of health status and physical and
psychological fitness for this public
safety law enforcement position which
requires a high degree of responsibility.
Medical guidelines are based on
cognitive, physical, psychomotor, and
psychological abilities related to the
essential job functions of a FAM.
TSA uses a Practical Exercise
Performance Requirements (PEPR) form,
and a Treating Physician Status Report
(TPSR) form to assist in the
determination of physical health
standards. These forms may be in
conjunction with further evaluation
requests as needed. Physical medical
examinations include, but are not
limited to, cardiac, pulmonary,
audiometric, and visual acuity testing.
Incumbent FAMs undergo medical
examinations every other year until the
age 45, and annually thereafter, while in
a FAM position. Based on conditions
identified during the pre-employment or

recurrent periodic examination, the
applicant/incumbent employee may be
required to provide a completed PEPR
form, or TPSR form, signed by a
healthcare provider in order to
determine if the FAM is medically
qualified.
TSA uses a Mental Health
Certification (MHC) form to facilitate the
determination of applicants’ ability to
meet established mental health
standards and safely and effectively
perform the essential functions of the
public safety law enforcement position.
As part of the psychological assessment,
applicants are required to complete the
MHC form related to their mental health
history. Applicants are asked questions
that may be indicative of mental health
conditions that may impact the ability
to safely and effectively perform the
essential functions of the position. All
forms submitted by applicants and
incumbents are sent directly to the
Federal Air Marshal Service Medical
Programs Section for initial screening
via fax, mail, or in person. Individual
responses may require further medical
evaluation.
TSA estimates that the total annual
burden for this collection is
approximately 225 hours and the total
annual respondents is 200. TSA
estimates 100 health care providers will
complete the PEPR forms for 50
applicants and 50 incumbent FAMs and
complete the TPSR forms for 50
applicants and 50 incumbent FAMs,
totaling 200 forms. TSA estimates it will
take approximately 15 minutes (0.25
hours) for the healthcare provider to
complete each of the 200 forms, for an
annual hour burden of 50 hours. In
addition, TSA estimates that the average
round-trip travel time for the applicant’s
visit to the healthcare provider is
approximately 1 hour, and the time
waiting for the healthcare provider to
complete the form is 0.05 hours for an
annual hour burden of 75 hours.
Finally, TSA assesses that 100
applicants must self-certify certain
information regarding their mental
health, using the MHC form. TSA
estimates it will take 1 hour to complete
the MHC form for an annual hour
burden of 100 hours.

Abstract: The USGS manages nine
Regional CASCs. Each CASC is
established through a cooperative
agreement with a host institution. The
host institution agreements are
periodically re-competed, requiring
collection of information from potential
host institutions. In addition, this
information collection addresses
quarterly and annual reporting required
of host institutions.
Title of Collection: Department of the
Interior Regional Climate Adaptation
Science Centers.
OMB Control Number: 1028–0096.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Institutions that may propose to serve as
CASC host or partner institutions
include state, local government, and
tribal entities, including academic
institutions. Existing host institutions
are state academic institutions.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: The USGS expects to
request proposals for a maximum of
three CASCs in any year and to receive
an average of five proposals per CASC
request, for a total of fifteen proposals
in any single year. The USGS expects to
enter into hosting agreements with a
minimum of nine CASC host
institutions.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 63 Responses.

Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Each proposal for CASC
hosting is expected to take 200 hours to
complete. The time required to
complete quarterly and annual reports
for any specific host cooperative
agreement or research project agreement
is expected to total 2.5 hours per report.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 3,120 Hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain a Benefit.
Frequency of Collection: Information
will be collected one time every five
years (approximately) for each CASC to
enable re-competition of CASC hosting
agreements. In addition, host
institutions are required to fill four
quarterly financial statements and one
annual progress report.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: There are no ‘‘non-hour
cost’’ burdens associated with this
collection of information.
