[Docket No. TSA–2004–19515]

Jkt 238001

The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) invites public
comment on one currently approved
Information Collection Request (ICR),
OMB control number 1652–0040,
abstracted below that we will submit to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for a revision in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act. The ICR
describes the nature of the information
collection and its expected burden. This

ICR involves three broad categories of
affected populations operating under a
security program: Aircraft operators,
foreign air carriers, and indirect air
carriers. The collections of information
that make up this ICR include security
programs, security threat assessments
(STA) on certain individuals, known
shipper data via the Known Shipper
Management System (KSMS), Indirect
Air Carrier Management System
(IACMS), and evidence of compliance
recordkeeping. TSA seeks continued
OMB approval in order to secure
passenger aircraft carrying cargo as
authorized in the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act.
DATES: Send your comments by
February 16, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be emailed
to TSAPRA@dhs.gov or delivered to the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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

Cargo Security requirements, 49 CFR
parts 1515, 1540, 1542, 1544, 1546, and
1548. The Aviation and Transportation
Security Act (ATSA), requires TSA: (1)

E:\FR\FM\15DEN1.SGM

15DEN1

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 240 / Tuesday, December 15, 2015 / Notices
To provide for screening of all property,
including U.S. mail, cargo, carry-on and
checked baggage, and other articles, that
will be carried aboard a passenger
aircraft; and (2) to establish a system to
screen, inspect, report, or otherwise
ensure the security of all cargo that is to
be transported in all-cargo aircraft as
soon as practicable. See ATSA sec. 110
as codified at 49 U.S.C. 44901(a) and (f).
These provisions were further amended
by the Implementing Recommendations
of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (9/
11 Act), to require 50 percent of cargo
transported on passenger aircraft be
screened by February 2009, and 100
percent of such cargo to be screened by
August 2010. See 9/11 Act sec. 1602(a)
as codified at 49 U.S.C. 44901(g).
Collections of information associated
with the 9/11 Act requirements fall
under OMB control number 1652–0053.
TSA must proceed with this ICR in
order to meet the Congressional
mandates and continue to enforce
current TSA regulations covering the
acceptance, handling, and screening of
cargo transported by air. The
uninterrupted collection of this
information will allow TSA to continue
to ensure implementation of these vital
security measures for the protection of
the traveling public. TSA also is
revising the collection to include
information select regulated entities
operating under certain amendments to
their aircraft operator and foreign air
carrier security programs must provide
to TSA detailing screening volumes and
the methodology utilized to arrive at
these volumes, as well as demonstrating
progress toward full compliance with
the cargo security measures specified in
such amendments.

Data Collection
This information collection requires
the ‘‘regulated entities,’’ which includes
aircraft operators, foreign air carriers,
and indirect air carriers (IACs), to
collect certain information as part of the
implementation of a standard security
program, to submit modifications to the
standard security program to TSA for
approval, and update such programs as
necessary. As part of these security
programs, the regulated entities must
also collect personal information and
submit such information to TSA so that
TSA may conduct STAs on individuals
with unescorted access to cargo. This
includes each individual who is a
general partner, officer, or director of an
IAC or an applicant to be an IAC, and
certain owners of an IAC or an applicant
to be an IAC; and any individual who
has responsibility for screening cargo
under 49 CFR parts 1544, 1546, or 1548.

Jkt 238001

Further, both companies and
individuals whom aircraft operators,
foreign air carriers, and IACs have
qualified to ship cargo on passenger
aircraft, also referred to as ‘‘known
shippers,’’ must submit information to
TSA, This information is collected
electronically through the KSMS. In
accordance with TSA security program
requirements, regulated entities may use
an alternate manual submission method
to identify known shippers.
Regulated entities must also enter into
IACMS the information required from
applicants requesting to be approved as
IACs in accordance with 49 CFR 1548.7
and the information required for their
IAC annual renewal. Regulated entities
must also maintain records, including
records pertaining to security programs,
training, and compliance to demonstrate
adherence with the regulatory
requirements. These records must be
made available to TSA upon request.
The forms used in this collection of
information include the Aviation
Security Known Shipper Verification
Form and the Security Threat
Assessment Application.
Finally, select regulated entities
operating under certain amendments to
their aircraft operator and foreign air
carrier security programs must provide
information detailing screening volumes
and the methodology utilized to arrive
at these volumes, as well as
demonstrating progress toward full
compliance with the cargo security
measures specified in such
amendments. In light of current security
threats, the collection of this
information is critical.
Estimated Burden Hours
TSA estimates the hour burden for
regulated entities associated with initial
application of security programs via
IACMS to be 4 hours for each of 340
average annual new entrants for an
average annual hour burden of 1360
hours.
For the STA requirement, based on a
15-minute estimate for each of the
average 98,500 annual responses, TSA
estimates that the average annual
burden will be 24,625 hours.
For the KSMS, given that the IAC or
aircraft operator must input a name,
address, and telephone number, TSA
estimates it will take 2 minutes for the
476,167 electronic submissions for a
total annual burden of 15,872 hours.
Also for KSMS, TSA estimates it will
take one hour for the 8,000 manual
submissions for a total annual burden of
8,000 hours.
TSA estimates the hour burden
associated with the security program
renewals via IACMS to be 4 hours for

each of the 4,100 IACs for an average
annual hour burden of 16,400 hours.
TSA estimates one percent of IACs (41)
will file an appeal of rejected or
incomplete renewals at 5 hours per
appeal for an average annual hour
burden of 205 hours.
For the record keeping requirement,
based on a 5-minute estimate for each of
the 98,500 annual responses, TSA
estimates that the total average annual
burden will be 8,208 hours.
For the cargo screening reports to be
submitted by select aircraft operators
and foreign air carriers operating under
amendments to their security programs,
TSA estimates that 10 air carriers will
compile the required cargo screening
information at an estimated time of one
hour each per week with estimated
annual burden of 520 hours (10 × 52).
