Abstract: TSA developed the Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP) as a regulatory program to support the 2007 statutory mandate to require air carriers to screen 100 percent of cargo transported on passenger aircraft. To mitigate the burden of compliance with the statutory mandate, the CCSSSP allows shippers, indirect air carriers (IACs), and other entities to voluntarily choose to participate in a program in which TSA certifies qualified entities to screen air cargo (including off-airport) before it is tendered to air carriers for transport on passenger aircraft. The collections of information under the CCSSSP (see OMB number 1652-0053) are incorporated into this Information Collection Requirement (ICR). TSA is revising the collection in response to changing conditions in the air cargo industry. Consistent with the need to expand screening capabilities to meet the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards that take effect in 2021, Congress subsequently amended TSA’s authorities to require development of a program for TSA to certify third-party canine-cargo (3PK9-C) Teams to screen air cargo. TSA incorporated this capability under the framework of the CCSSSP. As a result, canine team providers can choose to be regulated as CCSFs under 49 CFR part 1549. As holders of a Certified Cargo Screening Program-Canine (CCSP-K9), they can contract with air carriers and other CCSFs to screen air cargo with Certified 3PK9-C Teams.

Short Statement: TSA is revising this collection to update the following TSA Forms: 419A, 419B, 419C, 419D and 419E, making minor changes by updating instructions and removing information no longer required by the CCSSSP. The minor changes do not impact the burden. However, since the submission of the ICR in 2021, the responses have increased from 23,512 to 48,645 with an annual burden increase of 1,622 (17,662 – 16,040).
