(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

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

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.
