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

    Title: Enhanced Security Procedures at Ronald Reagan Washington 
National Airport.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    OMB Control Number: 1652-0035.
    Forms(s): N/A.
    Affected Public: GA aircraft operators and passengers, armed 
security officers (ASOs), flight crew, fixed base operators, and 
gateway airport operators.
    Abstract: TSA is hereby requesting an extension of this information 
collection. In accordance with 49 CFR part 1562, subpart B, TSA 
requires GA aircraft operators who wish to fly into or out of DCA to 
designate a security coordinator and adopt the DASSP. Once aircraft 
operators have complied with the DASSP requirements, they must request 
a slot reservation from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and 
request authorization from TSA for each flight into and out of DCA. 
This information collection is approved under OMB control number 1652-
0033, TSA Airspace Waiver Applications.
    As part of the DASSP requirements, individuals designated as 
security coordinators, armed security officers, and flight crewmembers 
assigned to duty on a GA aircraft flying into and out of DCA must 
submit fingerprints for a Criminal History Records Check (CHRC). In 
addition, GA aircraft operators must also maintain CHRC records of all 
employees and authorized representatives for whom a CHRC has been 
completed.
    Number of Respondents: 704 annually.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In the 60-day notice, TSA reported the annual respondents' 
amount as 5,304 and the annual burden as 5,547. Since the 
publication, TSA has obtained actual data and has adjusted the 
numbers accordingly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 799 hours annually.
