SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Transportation Security Administration (TSA)

    Title: Flight Crew Self-Defense Training--Registration and 
Evaluation.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    OMB Control Number: 1652-0028.
    Forms(s): ``Level 1 End-of-Course Evaluation''; ``Community College 
Sign-In Sheet''

    Abstract: Section 603 of Vision 100--Century of Aviation 
Reauthorization Act (Pub. L. 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. This collection allows TSA to collect identifying 
information from volunteer flight and cabin crewmembers who register 
for self-defense classes, and permits TSA to solicit voluntary feedback 
on the quality of the training.
    TSA seeks renewal for this collection of information, which permits 
TSA to collect identifying information from flight and cabin 
crewmembers who register for self-defense classes, and solicits 
voluntary feedback from participants on the quality of the training. 
Identifying information is gathered from trainees who have registered 
for a self-defense program to confirm that they are eligible for that 
program (i.e., that they are an active flight or cabin crewmember for a 
commercial or cargo air carrier), and to confirm their attendance at 
the self-defense classes. The information that is collected consists of 
the trainee's identifying information (such as the trainee's name and 
employee number), the name of their employer, and contact information. 
TSA uses a sign-in sheet to collect this information at the beginning 
of the self-defense course.
    After training is completed, TSA solicits written feedback from 
trainees by using a standard TSA training evaluation form. Completion 
of this form is voluntary and anonymous.
    Number of Respondents: 3,000.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 750 hours annually.
    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 through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
