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. With this notice, TSA solicits 
comments on the collection of information described below, in order to 
evaluate the necessity of the collection, the accuracy of the agency's 
estimate of the burden, the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected, and possible ways to minimize the burden 
of the collection in preparation for submission to renew clearance of 
the following information collection:
    Security Programs for Foreign Air Carriers, 49 CFR part 1546; 2110-
0006. The Federal Aviation Administration initially required this 
collection under 14 CFR part 129 (now 49 CFR part 1546) and cleared 
under OMB control number 2120-0536. The responsibility for the 
collection has been transferred to TSA and assigned OMB control number 
2110-0006. The information collected is used to determine compliance 
with 49 CFR part 1546 and to ensure passenger safety by monitoring 
foreign air carrier security procedures. These security programs 
establish procedures that foreign air carriers must carry out to 
protect persons and property against acts of criminal violence, 
aircraft piracy, and terrorist activities. The current estimated annual 
reporting burden is 5,193 hours.

    Issued on August 8, 2002.

Associate Under Secretary for Security Regulation and Policy.
