Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
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 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—

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.
OMB Control Number 1652–0029;
Maryland Three Airports: Enhanced
Security Procedures for Operations at
Certain Airports in the Washington, DC
Metropolitan Area Flight Restricted
Zone, 49 CFR part 1562. TSA’s
regulations impose requirements and
security procedures on airport operators
of three airports in the State of
Maryland that are located within the
Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area
Flight Restricted Zone (Maryland Three
Airports),1 and on individuals operating
aircraft to or from these airports. The
information collected is used to
determine compliance with 49 CFR part
1562, subpart A.
Part 1562, subpart A, allows an
individual who is approved by TSA to
operate an aircraft to or from one of the
Maryland Three Airports or to serve as
an airport security coordinator at one of
these airports. In order to be approved,
a pilot or airport security coordinator
applicant is required to submit
information and successfully complete a
security threat assessment. As part of
this threat assessment, the applicant
must submit their fingerprints and
undergo a criminal history records
check and a check of Government
terrorist watch lists and other databases
to determine whether the individual
poses, or is suspected of posing, a threat
to transportation or national security.
An applicant will not receive TSA’s
approval under this analysis if TSA
determines or suspects the applicant of
being a threat to national or
transportation security.
Applicants can be fingerprinted at the
Ronald Reagan Washington National
Airport’s badging office and any
participating airport badging office or
law enforcement office located nearby to
1 The Maryland Three Airports are: College Park
Airport, Potomac Airfield, and Washington
Executive/Hyde Field. However, on November 30,
2022, Washington Executive/Hyde Field ceased
operations following a bankruptcy sale of the
airport property. Nevertheless, TSA will continue to
use TSA Form 418 to collect the information as
required by 49 CFR part 1562, subpart A.

the applicant’s residence or place of
work. Airport security coordinators and
pilots must complete the applicable
sections of TSA Form 418, which
include but are not limited to the
following: full name; Social Security
number; date of birth; address; phone
number and email; current and valid
airman certificate or current and valid
student pilot certificate; current medical
certificate; a list of the make, model, and
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
aircraft registration number for each
aircraft the pilot intends to operate at
Maryland Three Airports; one form of
Government-issued picture ID; the
certificate of completion of the FAA DC
Special Flight Rules Area training; and
fingerprints. Although not required by
the rule, TSA asks applicants to
voluntarily provide an email address
and emergency contact phone number
to facilitate immediate communication
that might be necessary when operating
in the Flight Restricted Zone or helpful
during the application process.
TSA also provides an option to
submit certain documents for the
application by email. For example,
applicants no longer need to submit the
required documentation to the FAA
Flight Standards District Offices inperson, but may submit the information
to TSA electronically at mdthree@
tsa.dhs.gov. This option does not apply
to fingerprints, which must continue to
be collected in-person at the various
locations.
TSA receives approximately 369
applications (366 pilots and 3 airport
security coordinators) annually and
estimates applicants spend
approximately 5.75 hours to prepare
and submit the information to TSA,
which is a total annual burden of
2,121.75 hours.
