Information Collection Request (ICR),
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number 1652–0021,

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 http://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.

instruction from FAA-certified flight
training providers; flight training
providers required to conduct security
awareness training and their employees.
Abstract: TSA has adopted
regulations 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)-certificated flight
training providers to provide TSA with
the information necessary to conduct
the security threat assessments. Finally,
TSA has adopted regulations relating to
security awareness training for flight
school employees and contract
employees, which include maintaining
records of all such training.
Public Comment: TSA received one
comment on the 60-day notice for this
collection. The commenter stated that
aliens who seek to do harm to the
country will have false identification
documents. The commenter also stated
that aliens seeking flight training on any
aircraft size should be required to
undergo a threat assessment. As to the
first point, the threat assessment process
has safeguards in place to guard against
issues of false identification documents.
As to the second point, when Congress
enacted the Vision 100—Century of
Aviation Reauthorization Act it
specifically included aliens seeking
flight training in aircraft with a MTOW
of less than 12,500 pounds in the threat
assessment requirement.
Number of Respondents: 53,000.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 507,750 hours annually.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on January
26, 2012.

TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Office
of Information Technology.
