include supporting data. You may submit comments and material

the public docket, except for comments containing confidential 
information and Sensitive Security Information (SSI),\1\ as that term

your personally identifiable information redacted prior to filing in 
the docket, please so state. TSA will consider all comments that are in

    \1\ ``Sensitive Security Information'' or ``SSI'' is information 
obtained or developed in the conduct of security activities, the 
disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of 
privacy, reveal trade secrets or privileged or confidential 
information, or be detrimental to the security of transportation. 
The protection of SSI is governed by 49 CFR part 1520.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Handling of Confidential or Proprietary Information and Sensitive 
Security Information Submitted in Public Comments

    Do not submit comments that include trade secrets, confidential 
commercial or financial information, or SSI to the public regulatory 
docket. Please submit such comments separately from other comments on 
the action. Comments containing trade secrets, confidential commercial 
or financial information, or SSI should be appropriately marked as 
containing such information and submitted by mail to the address listed 
in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
    TSA will not place comments containing SSI in the public docket and 
will handle them in accordance with applicable safeguards and 
restrictions on access. TSA will hold documents containing SSI, 
confidential business information, or trade secrets in a separate file 
to which the public does not have access, and place a note in the 
public docket explaining that commenters have submitted such documents. 
TSA may include a redacted version of the comment in the public docket. 
If an individual requests to examine or copy information that is not in 
the public docket, TSA will treat it as any other request under the 
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and DHS's Freedom of 
Information Act regulation found in 6 CFR part 5.
