Notice of Intent To Request Renewal From the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) of One Current Public Collection of Information

AGENCY: Transportation Security Administration (TSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 
et seq.), the TSA invites public comment on one currently approved 
public information collection, which will be submitted to OMB for 
renewal.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 4, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed or delivered to the TSA at the 
following address: Office of Security, TSA-14, Transportation Security 
Administration, 400 7th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590.

[[Page 72721]]

Administration, 400 7th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590, (202) 385-
1190.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 
required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. Therefore, the TSA solicits 
comments on this current collection of information 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. 
These comments are solicited in preparation for submission to renew the 
clearance of the following information collection:
    1.2110-0007, Employment Standards-Parts 107 and 108 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations. Section 105 of Public Law 101-604, the Aviation 
Security Improvement Act of 1990, directed the FAA to prescribe 
standards for the hiring, continued employment and contracting of air 
carrier and appropriate airport security personnel. These standards 
were developed and implemented at 14 CFR parts 107 and 108. The 
Aviation and Transportation Security Act of 2001, Public Law 107-71, 
transferred to TSA the responsibility for civil aviation security, 
including the prescribing of employment standards for the hiring, 
continued employment and contracting of air carrier and appropriate 
airport security personnel. In February 2002, TSA implemented 
regulations at 49 CFR parts 1542 and 1544 prescribing employment 
standards and the FAA regulations in 14 CFR parts 107 and 108 were 
repealed. Airport operators will maintain at their principal business 
office at least one copy of evidence of compliance with training 
requirement for all employees having unescorted access privileges to 
security areas. This is a record-keeping burden and the affected public 
is estimated at 1,300 airport operators and air carrier checkpoints. 
The estimated annual record-keeping burden is 16,300 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on December 2, 2002.
Susan L. Tracey,
Deputy Chief Administrative Officer.
