AGENCY: Transportation Security Administration (TSA), DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

collection requirement, abstracted below, that will be submitted to OMB 
for renewal in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act.

DATES: Send your comments by April 4, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Comments to be delivered to Katrina Wawer, Information

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Katrina Wawer, Information Collection 
Specialist (571) 227-1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 submission of the specified information collection 
for renewal, TSA solicits comments in order 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 through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology where appropriate.
    1652-0028, Flight Crew Self-Defense Training--Registration and 
Evaluation. TSA is seeking to renew information collection request 
number 1652-0028 to continue compliance with statutory mandate. Section 
603 of Vision 100--Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act, Public Law 
108-176, requires TSA to develop and provide a voluntary advanced self-
defense training program for flight and cabin crew members of air 
carriers providing scheduled passenger air transportation. TSA collects 
limited biographical information from flight crew members to confirm 
their eligibility for training. TSA also asks participants to complete 
an anonymous and voluntary evaluation form after the training is 
completed to assess the quality of the training. TSA requests this 
renewal to continue confirming participants' eligibility and attendance 
for the training program, as well as to continue to assess training 
quality. The estimated number of annual respondents is 3,000 and 
estimated annual burden is 750 hours. There is no estimated annual cost 
burden to respondents.
    The approval of this information collection expires on April 30, 
2005.

    Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on January 25, 2005.

Privacy Officer.
