SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TSA published a Federal Register notice,

[[Page 36759]]

with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments, of the following 
collection of information on April 13, 2021 (86 FR 19276).

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 made 
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.

Information Collection Requirement

    Title: TSA Customer Comment Tools.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    OMB Control Number: 1652-0030.
    Forms(s): NA.
    Affected Public: Travelling public.
    Abstract: The TSA Contact Center (TCC) continues to serve as the 
main portal of communication for the traveling public. The public may 
contact the TCC via email or phone to request information, file a 
complaint--general or Civil Rights and Liberties, compliment, or 
provide general feedback. With over one million contacts per year, it 
is crucial for TSA to have the ability to capture this information. 
TSA's online submission forms are readily available from the Customer 
Service portion of tsa.gov. The online forms are easy to use and offer 
several dropdown menu choices to reduce the burden on the public and 
increase the quality of data for TSA. Currently, there are four options 
for the online forms: Complaint and Compliment, Request for Assistance, 
Request for Information, and Security Issues. The online forms are easy 
to use and offer several dropdown menu choices to reduce the burden on 
the public and increase the quality of data for TSA. TCC provides a 
receipt to any person who submits an online form.
    TSA is revising the information collection, moving from four online 
forms to six electronic forms. The online form Complaint and Compliment 
has been broken into two separate distinct online forms. TSA 
PreCheckTM has been pulled out of the drop down menu of 
Complaint and given its own online form. Request for Assistance online 
form has been renamed TSA Cares. The 6 online forms are as follows:
     Complaint--passengers may provide a complaint regarding 
their experiences with TSA security procedures. Passengers may also use 
this form to file Disability or Civil Rights and Civil Liberties 
complaints.
     TSA PreCheck--passengers may share concerns about not 
receiving TSA PreCheck on their boarding pass or other concerns.
     Compliment--passengers may share how TSA exceeded their 
expectations.
     Request for Information--passengers may submit an inquiry 
about TSA policies and procedures, such as traveling with medical 
conditions, prohibited & permitted items, security screening and more.
     TSA Cares--passengers may request assistance through the 
TSA screening checkpoint.
     Security Issue--passengers may identify and report 
suspicious activities and threats. The TCC provides a receipt to any 
person who submits an electronic form or email to TSA as required by 49 
CFR 1503.3(a).
    Also, TSA is changing the name of OMB control number 1652-0030 from 
``TSA Customer Comment Card'' to ``TSA Customer Comment Tools'' to more 
accurately represent the information collection. In addition, TSA is 
making non-substantive changes to the paper comment card, updating the 
appearance--font, TSA insignia and spacing.
    Number of Respondents: An estimated 88,352 respondents annually.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 7,518 hours annually.
