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 will be available at https://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.
Information Collection Requirement
The Reimbursable Screening Services Program ("RSSP") is authorized by section 225, Division A, of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019, Public Law 116-6, 133 Stat. 13 (Feb. 15, 2019), as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, Section 223, Division F, Public Law 116-260, 134 Stat. 1459 (Dec. 27, 2020), and as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, Section 222, Division F, Public Law 117-328 (Dec. 29. 2022), which extended RSSP through fiscal year 2025. Under this provision, TSA may establish a pilot for public or private entities regulated by TSA to request reimbursable screening services outside of an existing primary passenger terminal screening area where screening services are currently provided or eligible to be provided under TSA's annually appropriated passenger screening program. For purposes of section 225 (k), "screening services" means "the screening of passengers, flight crews, and their carry-on baggage and personal articles, and may include checked baggage screening if that type of screening is performed at an offsite location that is not part of a passenger terminal of a commercial airport." See 133 Stat. 13, 26. TSA established an application process for public and private entities regulated by TSA to request screening services under the RSSP.
Public or private entities regulated by TSA interested in participating in the RSSP may submit an application to the TSA Administrator requesting that TSA provide screening services outside of an existing primary passenger terminal screening area where screening services are currently provided or eligible to be provided under TSA's annually appropriated passenger screening program as a primary passenger terminal screening area. The request may only be submitted to TSA after consultation with the relevant local airport authority. The application is used to identify basic information to grant approval or denial. The application process includes TSA Form 459, TSA Reimbursable Screening Services Program (RSSP) Pilot Request, which collects the following information: stakeholder information, services being requested, location of requested services and available facilities to perform requested services.
The respondents to this information collection request are public or private entities regulated by TSA requesting the screening services at an airport that is a commercial service airport (as defined by 49 U.S.C. 47107(7)). TSA estimates the annual respondents to be no more than 15. The annual burden for the information collection related to providing screening services is estimated to be 492 hours.
