SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology.

Information Collection Requirement

    1652-0004; Security Programs for Indirect Air Carriers, 49 CFR part 
1548. This rule prescribes aviation security rules governing each 
person (including air freight forwarder and any cooperative shippers' 
association) engaged, or who intends to be engaged, indirectly in the 
air transportation of package cargo that is intended for carriage 
aboard a passenger-carrying air carrier aircraft inside the United 
States. TSA requires that such carriers maintain records of their 
security programs and make those documents available for inspection 
upon request by any TSA Inspector. The current estimated annual burden 
is 1,306 hours.
