DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Transportation Security Administration


Intent To Request Extension From OMB of One Current Public 
Collection of Information: TSA Reimbursable Screening Services Program 
(RSSP) Request

AGENCY: Transportation Security Administration, DHS.

ACTION: 60-Day notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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 1652-0073, 
that we will submit to OMB for an extension in compliance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The ICR describes the nature of the 
information collection and its expected burden. The collection of 
information involves an application completed by 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 22, 2022.

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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christina A. Walsh at the above 
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

    The RSSP is authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 
2019, Section 225, Division A (Pub. L. 116-6, Div. A) and amended in 
the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, Section 223, Division F 
(Pub. L. 116-

[[Page 36869]]

260, Div. F). Under this provision, TSA established 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. 
The authority available under this section is effective for fiscal 
years 2022 through 2023 and currently may be used at not more than 
eight locations for transportation security purposes. TSA collects this 
information to establish an application process for public and private 
entities regulated by TSA to request screening services under the RSSP. 
For purposes of RSSP, ``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.
    Public or private entities regulated by TSA interested in 
participating in the RSSP may submit an application to the TSA 
Administrator requesting that TSA provide 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 as a primary 
passenger terminal screening area. The request may only be submitted to 
TSA after consultation with the relevant local airport authority. The 
application is used to identify basic information to grant approval or 
denial.
    The respondents to this information collection request are public 
or private entities regulated by TSA requesting the screening services 
at an airport that is a commercial service airport (as defined by 49 
U.S.C. 47107(7)). TSA estimates the annual respondents for fiscal year 
2022 to be no more than 15. The annual burden for the information 
collection related to providing screening services is estimated to be 
492 hours.
