SUMMARY: This notice announces that the Transportation Security

Request (ICR) abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for review and approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). 
The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its 
expected burden. The collection involves public and private entities 
requesting participation in TSA's Reimbursable Screening Services 
Program (RSSP), currently a pilot program for up to eight locations, to 
obtain TSA security screening services outside of an existing primary 
passenger airport terminal screening area where screening services are 
currently provided or would be eligible to be provided under TSA's 
annually appropriated passenger screening program.

DATES: Send your comments by August 15, 2019. A comment to OMB is most 
effective if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, OMB. Comments should be addressed to Desk Officer, 
Department of Homeland Security/TSA, and sent via electronic mail to 
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christina A. Walsh, TSA PRA Officer, 
Information Technology (IT), TSA-11, Transportation Security 
Administration, 601 South 12th Street, Arlington, VA 20598-6011;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TSA published a Federal Register notice, 
with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments, of the following 
collection of information on May 6, 2019, 84 FR 19801.

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 will be 
available at http://www.reginfo.gov upon its submission to OMB. 
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.
    Consistent with the requirements of Executive Order (E.O.) 13771, 
Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs, and E.O. 13777, 
Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda, TSA is also requesting comments 
on the extent to which this request for information could be modified 
to reduce the burden on respondents.

Information Collection Requirement

    Title: TSA Reimbursable Screening Services Program (RSSP) 
Request.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Since the publication of the 60-day notice, TSA has revised 
the name of the collection from ``TSA Reimbursable Screening 
Services Program (RSSP) Application to ``TSA Reimbursable Screening 
Services Program (RSSP) Request.'' No other changes to the ICR have 
been made.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Type of Request: New collection.
    OMB Control Number: 1652-XXXX.
    Form(s): NA.
    Affected Public: Public or private entities regulated by TSA.
    Abstract: The RSSP is authorized by section 225, Division A, of the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019, Public Law 116-6 (133 Stat. 13; 
Feb. 15, 2019). Under this provision, TSA may establish a pilot for 
public or private entities regulated by TSA to request reimbursable 
screening services outside of an existing primary passenger terminal 
screening area where screening services are currently provided or 
eligible to be provided under TSA's annually appropriated passenger 
screening program. For purposes of section 225, ``screening services'' 
means ``the screening of passengers, flight crews, and their carry-on 
baggage and personal articles, and may include checked baggage 
screening if that type of screening is performed at an offsite location 
that is not part of a passenger terminal of a commercial airport.'' TSA 
is collecting this information to establish a process for public and 
private entities regulated by TSA to request screening services under 
the RSSP.
