Abstract: The Transportation Security Administration collects information from covered U.S. aircraft operators and foreign air carriers in order to begin implementation of the Secure Flight Program. The collection would cover passenger reservation data for covered domestic and international flights. The collection would also cover the collection from covered aircraft operators of certain identifying information for non-traveling individuals that the aircraft operators seek to authorize to enter a sterile area, i.e. to escort a minor or a passenger with disabilities or for another approved purpose.

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: TSA’s revision of the collection to allow non-traveling individuals to request authorization to enter a sterile area at a U.S. airport directly from TSA has increased the visitor pass annual burden by 10,000 hours and the annual respondents by 300,000. However, there has been a small decrease in the number of annual respondents for the VID Submissions, Resolution Calls, and Visitor Pass Requests from Aircraft Carriers, which reduced the overall increase in the annual number of responses from 300,000 to 244,260. Finally, TSA adjusted the resolution call time from 0.2 hours to 0.0862 hours. As a result, the annual burden hours decreased by 1,202.
