OMB is most effective if OMB receives

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 is
available at www.reginfo.gov. Therefore,
in preparation for OMB review and
approval of the following information
collection, TSA is soliciting comments
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: Flight Training for Aliens and
Other Designated Individuals; Security
Awareness Training for Flight School
Employees.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0021.
Forms(s): NA.
Affected Public: Aliens and other
designated individuals seeking flight
instruction from FAA-certified flight
training providers; flight training
providers required to conduct security
awareness training to its employees.
Abstract: TSA has established
standards relating to the security threat
assessments that TSA will conduct to
determine whether candidates are a
threat to aviation or national security,
and thus prohibited from receiving
flight training. This collection of
information requires Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA)-certified flight
training providers to provide TSA with
the information necessary to conduct
the security threat assessments. Finally,
TSA has established standards relating
to security awareness training for
certain flight school employees, which
include maintaining records of all such
training.
Number of Respondents: 66,500. TSA
is revising the number of respondents
from the 31,000 respondents reported in
the notice published on June 6, 2008.
TSA is now including 40,000 additional

Flight Training Providers that do not
train aliens and are not required to
register with TSA. These Flight Training
Providers are required under 49 CFR

Background

Expansion of Global Entry Pilot
Program

The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), through the United
States Coast Guard and the
Transportation Security Administration
(TSA), issued a joint final rule (72 FR
3492; January 25, 2007) pursuant to the
Maritime Transportation Security Act
(MTSA), Public Law 107–295, 116 Stat.
2064 (November 25, 2002), and the
Security and Accountability for Every
Port Act of 2006 (SAFE Port Act), Public
Law 109–347 (October 13, 2006). This
rule requires all credentialed merchant
mariners and individuals with
unescorted access to secure areas of a
regulated facility or vessel to obtain a
TWIC. In this final rule, on page 3510,
TSA and Coast Guard stated that a
phased enrollment approach based
upon risk assessment and cost/benefit
would be used to implement the
program nationwide, and that TSA
would publish a notice in the Federal
Register indicating when enrollment at
a specific location will begin and when
it is expected to terminate.
This notice provides the start date for
TWIC initial enrollment at the Port of
American Samoa on August 20, 2008.
The Coast Guard will publish a separate
notice in the Federal Register indicating
when facilities within the Captain of the
Port Zone Guam including those in the
Port of American Samoa must comply
with the portions of the final rule
requiring TWIC to be used as an access
control measure. That notice will be
published at least 90 days before
compliance is required.
To obtain information on the preenrollment and enrollment process, and
enrollment locations, visit TSA’s TWIC
Web site at http://www.tsa.gov/twic.
