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. The ICR documentation is available 
at http://www.reginfo.gov. 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

    OMB Control Number 1652-0006; Employment Standards, 49 CFR parts 
1542 and 1544. The information collected is used to determine 
compliance with 49 CFR parts 1542 and 1544. Airport operators maintain 
records of compliance with part 1542 for those employees with access 
privileges to Security Identification Display Areas of the airport. 
Aircraft operators maintain records of compliance with part 1544 for 
selected crew and security employees. TSA Transportation Security 
Inspectors (TSIs) review these records to ensure that the safety and 
security of the public is not compromised, to include using this 
information to take corrective action when necessary. These regulations 
establish procedures that airports and airlines must carry out to 
protect persons and property against acts of criminal violence, 
aircraft piracy, and terrorist activities. The current estimated annual 
reporting burden is 183,506 hours.

    Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on June 9, 2009.

Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Business Improvements and 
Communications, Office of Information Technology.
