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.

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

Information Collection Requirement

Title: TSA Reimbursable Screening Services Program (RSSP) Pilot Request.

Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.

OMB Control Number: 1652-0073.

Form(s): NA.

Affected Public: Public or private entities regulated by TSA.

Abstract: The RSSP is authorized by section 225, Division A, of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019, as amended to extend RSSP through 2026.[1] 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, “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.” TSA is collecting this information to enable public and private entities regulated by TSA to request screening services under the RSSP.

Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 15.

Estimated Annual Number of Burden Hours: 492.

Dated: April 29, 2026.

Christina A. Walsh,

Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Information Technology, Transportation Security Administration.
