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 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.

Information Collection Requirement

    Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 114(m), and 106(l) and (m), TSA has authority 
to enter into agreements with participants to reimburse expenses 
incurred by airport operators for the provision of LEOs in support of 
screening at airport checkpoints. Consistent with this authority, TSA 
created the LEO Reimbursement Program, which is run by the Office of 
Law Enforcement/Federal Air Marshal Service (OLE/FAMS).
    TSA OLE/FAMS requires that participants in the LEO Reimbursement 
Program record the details of all reimbursements sought. In order to 
provide for the orderly tracking of reimbursements, the LEO 
Reimbursement Program uses TSA Form 3503, LEO Reimbursement Request 
which captures and tracks reimbursement information.
    The LEO Reimbursement Request form is available at www.tsa.gov. 
Upon completion, participants submit the LEO Reimbursement Request form 
directly to the OLE/FAMS LEO Reimbursement Program via fax, electronic 
upload via scanning the document, mail, or in person. The OLE/FAMS LEO 
Reimbursement Program reviews all request for reimbursement forms 
received. Based on the prior year participation, TSA estimates that 
there will be 326 participant responses monthly or 3,912 yearly.
    TSA estimates each respondent will spend approximately one hour to 
complete the request for reimbursement form, for a total annual hour 
burden of 3,912 hours.
