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,

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
Title: Air Cargo Security
Requirements.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0040.
Forms(s): Aviation Security Known
Shipper Verification Form, Aircraft
Operator or Air Carrier Reporting
Template, and Security Threat
Assessment Application.
Affected Public: This ICR involves
regulated entities including aircraft
operators, foreign air carriers, and
indirect air carriers operating under a
TSA-approved security program.
Abstract: Under the authority of 49
U.S.C. 44901, TSA’s regulations impose
screening requirements for cargo and
other property transported on
commercial aircraft (passenger and allcargo). Chapter XII of title 49, Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) defines how
TSA screens all property, including U.S.
mail, cargo, carry-on and checked
baggage, and other articles, that will be
carried aboard passenger and cargo
aircraft.
This information collection currently
relates to the following requirements:
• Aircraft operators, foreign air
carriers, and indirect air carriers (IACs)
must collect certain information as part
of the implementation of a standard
security program, submit modifications
to the standard security program to TSA
for approval, and update such programs
as necessary. As part of these security
programs, the regulated entities must
also collect personal information and

Frm 00054

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

submit such information to TSA so that
TSA may conduct STAs on individuals
with unescorted access to cargo.
• Companies and individuals whom
aircraft operators, foreign air carriers,
and IACs have qualified to ship cargo on
passenger aircraft, also referred to as
‘‘known shippers,’’ must submit
information to TSA. This information is
collected electronically through the
KSMS.
• Regulated entities must submit (by
entering into the IACMS) information
required from applicants requesting to
be approved as IACs and the
information required for their IAC
annual renewal in accordance with 49
CFR 1548.7. Regulated entities must
also maintain records, including records
pertaining to security programs,
training, and compliance to demonstrate
adherence with the regulatory
requirements.
• Select aircraft operators and foreign
air carriers operating under certain
amendments to their security programs
must provide to TSA detailed screening
volumes and the methodology utilized
to arrive at these volumes, as well as
demonstrating progress toward full
compliance with the cargo security
measures specified in such
amendments.
Number of Respondents: 3,575.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 77,076 hours annually.
Dated: March 20, 2024.

to DHS. DHS may withhold information
provided in comments from public

the privacy of an individual or is
offensive. For additional information,
please read the Privacy Act notice that
is available via the link in the footer of
http://www.regulations.gov.
Written comments and suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
should address one or more of the
following four points:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information 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 of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(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 through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a Currently
Approved Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Verification Request and Verification
Request Supplement.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the DHS
sponsoring the collection: G–845;
USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Federal Government;
State, local or Tribal government. In the
verification process, a participating
agency validates an applicant’s
immigration status by inputting
identifying information required into
the Verification Information System
(VIS), which executes immigration
status queries against a range of data
sources. If VIS returns an immigration
status and the benefit-issuing agency
does not find a material discrepancy
with the response and the documents
provided by the applicant, the
verification process is complete. Then,
the agency may use that immigration
status information in determining
whether or not to issue the benefit. In
extraordinary situations as determined

PO 00000

Frm 00055

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

by the SAVE Program, agencies that do
not access the automated verification
system may request prior approval from
SAVE to query USCIS by filing Form G–
845. Although the Form G–845 does not
require it, if needed certain agencies
may also file the Form G–845
Supplement with the Form G–845,
along with copies of immigration
documents to receive additional
information necessary to make their
benefit determinations. While this
collection of information is primarily
electronic in nature through the VIS
query, these forms were originally
developed to facilitate communication
between all benefit-granting agencies
and USCIS to ensure that basic
information required to assess status
verification requests is provided.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The estimated total number of
respondents for the information
collection VIS Query is 21,577,983 and
the estimated hour burden per response
is 0.085 hours.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total estimated annual
hour burden associated with this
collection is 1,834,129 hours.
(7) An estimate of the total public
burden (in cost) associated with the
collection: The estimated total annual
cost burden associated with this
collection of information is $0. The
collection of information is primarily
electronic in nature and USCIS does not
anticipate any mailings of the paper
Form G–845 and Supplement and the
cost associated with postage.
