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

    OMB Control Number 1652-0033; TSA Airspace Waiver Program. TSA is 
seeking approval to renew this collection of information. The airspace 
waiver program allows U.S. and foreign general aviation aircraft 
operators to apply for approval to operate in U.S. restricted airspace, 
including over flying the United States and its territories. This 
program includes both processing of applications for airspace waivers 
and flight authorizations for the DCA Access Standard Security Program 
flights, which entails name-based security threat assessments for all 
passengers, flight crews and armed security officers on board each 
flight. TSA uses the information to conduct security threat assessments 
of persons on these flights to protect against and mitigate threats to 
transportation security.
    TSA collects information from applicants applying for a waiver or 
flight authorization either online via https://waivers.faa.gov, or by 
completing a waiver or flight authorization form requested via 
facsimile. It is recommended that applicants submit the request 
electronically within five business days prior to the start date of the 
flight. To obtain a waiver, the aircraft operator must submit 
information about the flight and provide certain information about all 
passengers and crew on board the flight for TSA to perform a security 
threat assessment on each individual. To obtain a flight authorization, 
the aircraft operator must submit information about all passengers, 
flight crews and armed security officers on board each flight for TSA 
to perform a name-based security threat assessment on each individual. 
Specifically, waiver or flight authorization requests must include the 
purpose of the flight, the aircraft type and registration number, 
including aircraft operator's company name and address, and the 
proposed itinerary. Additionally, aircraft operators must provide the 
names, dates and places of birth, and Social Security or passport 
numbers of all passengers, crew and in the case of flight 
authorization, armed security officers. The current estimated annual 
reporting burden is 7,099 hours.
