SUMMARY: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) invites 
public comment on one currently approved Information Collection Request 
(ICR), Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number 1652-0041,

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The ICR describes the nature of the 
information collection and its expected burden. The collection involves 
the submission of ratings and written comments about the quality of 
training instruction from TSA students who successfully complete TSA 
instructor-led classroom training, including civilian Canine Training 
Center (CTC) students who graduate from the Explosives Detection Canine 
Handler Course, Passenger Screening Canine Handler Course, Bridge 
Course, or the Law Enforcement Supervisors Course.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be emailed to [email protected] or delivered to 
the TSA PRA Officer, Information Technology (IT), TSA-11, 
Transportation Security Administration, 6595 Springfield Center Drive, 
Springfield, VA 20598-6011.

address, or by telephone (571) 227-2062.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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.

Information Collection Requirement

    OMB Control Number 1652-0041; TSA End of Course Level 1 
Evaluation--Instructor-Led Classroom Training. TSA's CTC delivers 
instructor-led classroom training, including the Explosives Detection 
Canine Handler Course, Passenger Screening Canine Handler Course, 
Bridge Course, and the Law Enforcement Supervisor Course to TSA, and 
state and local civilian personnel. State and local civilian personnel 
(primarily, law enforcement agencies that are responsible for the 
security at airports throughout the United States) participate in this 
classroom training under agency-specific cooperative agreements with 
TSA's National Explosives Detection Canine Team Program. This 
information collection captures ratings and written comments from 
students about the quality of the training. The CTC collects the 
evaluation data to determine students' satisfaction with their learning 
experience and provides it to representatives at both TSA headquarters 
and at CTC (e.g., to the Branch Manager, Deputy Branch Manager, and CTC 
instructional staff and supervisors) to improve the course curriculum 
and course of instruction.
    TSA estimates an average of 156 students will complete the 
evaluations annually. The estimated burden is approximately 30 minutes 
(0.5 hours) per participant, or total of 78 hours per calendar year to 
read, answer, and submit the evaluation questions.

    Dated: November 9, 2021.

TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Information Technology.
