60-day notice

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 234 / Thursday, December 6, 2018 / Notices
As part of the psychological
assessment, applicants are required to
complete a Mental Health Certification
form related to their mental health
history. Applicants are asked questions
that may be indicative of mental health
conditions that may impact the ability
to safely and effectively perform the
essential functions of the position. All
forms submitted by applicants and
incumbents are sent directly to the
FAMS Medical Programs Section for
initial screening via fax, mail, or in
person. Individual responses may
require further medical evaluation.
TSA estimates that there will be 600
respondents annually. It will take each
respondent approximately one hour to
complete the Mental Health
Certification form, and 15 minutes per
respondent for their doctor to complete
two additional forms (the Practical
Exercise Performance form and the
Treating Physician Status Report form),
for a total annual hour burden of 900
hours.

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 will be
available at http://www.reginfo.gov
upon its submission to OMB. 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.
Consistent with the requirements of
Executive Order (E.O.) 13771, Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs, and E.O. 13777, Enforcing the
Regulatory Reform Agenda, TSA is also
requesting comments on the extent to
which this request for information could
be modified to reduce the burden on
respondents.
Information Collection Requirement
OMB Number 1652–0032; Security
Officer Medical Questionnaire. TSA
collects relevant medical information
from TSO candidates who have
successfully completed certain prior
steps in the hiring process. This
information is used to assess whether
the TSO candidates meet the medical
qualification standards the agency has
established pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 44935.
TSA currently collects this information
through a medical questionnaire
completed by TSO candidates and, in
certain cases, supplemental forms

Frm 00047

Fmt 4703

completed by TSO candidates’ health
care providers. The medical
questionnaire and supplemental forms
are used in concert with information
collected during a physical medical
exam to evaluate a candidate’s physical
and medical qualifications to be a TSO,
including visual and aural acuity, and
physical coordination and motor skills.
Candidates who disclose certain
medical conditions on the medical
questionnaire were previously asked to
provide additional information via
supplemental forms.
TSA is revising the information
collection and will no longer require
candidates to complete supplemental
forms. TSA will continue to use the
medical questionnaire form. TSA is also
transitioning from the paper version of
the form to an electronic version.
Historical data indicates that on
average 22,500 candidates for TSO
positions annually complete medical
exams. The medical questionnaire takes
approximately 45 minutes (0.75 hours)
for the candidates to complete, resulting
in an estimated burden of 16,875 hours.
Also, TSA estimates the average roundtrip travel time to a TSA-contracted
physician’s office to be 54 minutes (0.9
hours), for an estimated hour burden of
20,250 hours (22,500 × 54 minutes). The
estimated total burden time for the
completion of the medical questionnaire
is 37,125 (16,875 + 20,250) annual
hours.

The Transportation Security

this information collection under the

authority of the Arming Pilots Against
Terrorism Act (APATA), Title XIV of the
Homeland Security Act (Nov. 25, 2002),
sec. 1402(a), as amended by Title VI of
the Vision 100—Century of Aviation
Reauthorization Act (Vision 100) (Dec.
12, 2003), sec. 609(b). Public Law 107–
296, 116 Stat. 2300, as codified at 49
U.S.C. 44921, as amended by Public
Law 108–176, 117 Stat. 2570. TSA is
seeking to renew this information
collection in order to continue
collecting the information described in
this notice to comply with its statutory
mission. The APATA required TSA to
establish a program to deputize
volunteer pilots of passenger air carriers
as Federal law enforcement officers to
defend the flight deck of their aircraft
against acts of criminal violence or air
piracy. With the enactment of Vision
100, eligibility to participate in the
FFDO program expanded to include
pilots of all-cargo aircraft, as well as
flight engineers and navigators on both
passenger and cargo aircraft.
In order to screen volunteers for entry
into the FFDO program, TSA collects
from applicants information, including
name, address, prior address
information, personal references,
criminal history, limited medical
information, financial information, and
employment information, through
comprehensive applications they submit
to TSA. In addition, TSA conducts an
interview with each applicant. Based on
the average number of new applicants to
the FFDO program, TSA estimates a
total of 3,000 respondents annually.
TSA estimates that the online
application will take one hour for each
applicant to complete, for a total burden
of 3,000 hours.
