SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TSA published a Federal Register notice, 
with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments, of the following 
collection of information on June 19, 2018, 83 FR 28444.

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 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

    Title: Security Programs for Foreign Air Carriers.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    OMB Control Number: 1652-0005.
    Forms(s): N/A.
    Affected Public: Foreign air carriers.
    Abstract: TSA uses the information collected to determine 
compliance with 49 CFR part 1546 and to ensure passenger safety by 
monitoring foreign air carrier security procedures. Foreign air 
carriers must carry out security measures to provide for the safety of 
persons and property traveling on flights provided by the foreign air 
carrier against acts of criminal violence and air piracy, and the 
introduction of explosives, incendiaries, or weapons aboard an 
aircraft. The foreign air carrier's security program must provide a 
level of protection similar to the level of protection provided by U.S. 
aircraft operators serving the same airports, and the foreign air 
carrier must employ procedures equivalent to those required of U.S. 
aircraft operators serving the same airport, if TSA determines such 
procedures are necessary to provide a similar level of protection. This 
information collection is mandatory for foreign air carriers and must 
be submitted prior to entry into the United States. The TSA information 
collection includes providing information to TSA as set forth in the 
carrier's security program, which includes any amendments; maintaining 
records of compliance with 49 CFR part 1546 and the foreign air 
carrier's security program, including security training records; 
suspicious incident reporting; and submitting identifying information 
on foreign air carriers' flight crews and passengers.
    Number of Respondents: 180.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 1,278,352 hours 
annually.

    Dated: October 23, 2018.
