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

    Title: TSA Web Site Usability Development: Focus Groups and Online 
Survey.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    OMB Control Number: Not yet assigned.
    Form(s): NA.
    Affected Public: Visitors to the TSA Web site; travelers at 
airports who volunteer for focus groups.
    Abstract: In order to provide a useful public Web site, TSA seeks 
to administer two data collections, ``Web site Focus Groups'' and ``Web 
site Online Survey,'' to obtain feedback concerning the usability, 
content, focus and user satisfaction of TSA's Web site. TSA will use 
the data obtained through these collection methods to deliver effective 
and engaging information to meet customers' needs and continuously 
improve TSA's Web site usability. TSA intends to conduct 15 Web site 
focus groups annually, each with a target of 10 total participants and 
an estimate of a 1 hour burden per respondent. TSA estimates a maximum 
total annual burden of 150 hours (10 participant hours per focus group 
session times 15 focus group sessions equals 150 hours total). TSA also 
intends to conduct voluntary Web site surveys to collect data for 
improved content and usability, which will be available via the TSA Web 
site (http://www.tsa.gov). Surveys will comprise an approximate five-
minute burden per respondent and an aggregate burden of 34 hours per 
year, based on an estimated 400 online surveys voluntarily completed 
per year (400 surveys times 5 minutes per survey equals 2000 minutes 
total, which is then divided by 60 minutes, resulting in 34 hours 
total).
    Number of Respondents: 550.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 184 hours annually.

    Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on October 24, 2006.

Director of Privacy Policy and Compliance.
