Information Collection Requirement
1652–0003; Security Programs for
Aircraft Operators, 49 CFR part 1544.
The information collected is used to
determine compliance with 49 CFR part
1544 and to ensure passenger safety by
monitoring aircraft operator security
procedures. TSA is seeking to renew its
OMB control number, 1652–0003,
Aircraft Operator Security. TSA has
implemented aircraft operator security
standards at 49 CFR part 1544 to require
each aircraft operator to which this part
applies to adopt and carry out a security
program. These TSA-approved security
programs establish procedures that
aircraft operators must carry out to
protect persons and property traveling
on flights provided by the aircraft
operator against acts of criminal
violence, aircraft piracy, and the
introduction of explosives, incendiaries,
or weapons aboard an aircraft.
This information collection is
mandatory for aircraft operators. As part
of their security programs, affected
aircraft operators are required to
maintain and update, as necessary,
records of compliance with the security
program provisions set forth in 49 CFR
part 1544. This regulation also requires
affected aircraft operators to submit
security program amendments to TSA
when applicable and to make their

security programs and associated
records available for inspection and
copying by TSA to ensure transportation
security and regulatory compliance.
The information requested of aircraft
operators has increased due to the
security measures mandated by the
Federal Government since September
11, 2001. The information TSA now
collects includes identifying
information on aircraft operators’ flight
crews, passengers and cargo.
Specifically, TSA requires aircraft
operators to submit the following
information: (1) A master crew list of all
flight and cabin crew members flying to
and from the United States; (2) the flight
crew list on a flight-by-flight basis; (3)
passenger information on a flight-byflight basis; (4) total amount of cargo
screened; and (5) total amount of cargo
screened at 100%. Aircraft operators
may provide the information
electronically or manually. Under this
regulation, aircraft operators must
ensure that flight crew members and
employees with unescorted access
authority to a Security Identification
Display Area (SIDA) or who perform
screening, checked baggage, or cargo
functions submit to and receive a
criminal history records check (CHRC).
As part of the CHRC process, the
individual must provide identifying
information, including fingerprints.
Additionally, aircraft operators must
maintain these records, and records
associated with compliance with
Security Directives, and make them
available to TSA for inspection and
copying upon request.
TSA estimates that there will be
approximately 800 respondents to the
information requirements described
above, requiring approximately
1,841,130 hours per year to process.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on January
20, 2012.
