assistance.

ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
    By Electronic Docket: www.regulations.gov (Enter docket number into

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael S. Raby, Division Manager, FAA 
Office of Investigations and Professional Responsibility (AXI-500), by 
email at: [email protected]; phone: (202) 604-2419.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The collection information is necessary to 
comply with 22 U.S.C. 3927 and 4802, which require Federal agencies to 
have personnel information on file in the event of an isolating event 
overseas.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the 
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) 
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of 
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include 
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information 
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-XXXX.
    Title: International Traveler Information Card.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
information collection.
    Type of Review: New information collection.

Background

    The International Traveler Information Card (ITIC) is an electronic 
form that FAA employees and contractors will complete prior to 
international travel on official business. The purpose of the form is 
to collect pertinent data to be used in the event a FAA employee and/or 
contractor are isolated overseas and require lifesaving assistance. 
This data will assist in the government's ability to properly identify 
individuals and provide, if necessary, medical support and personal 
items to FAA employees and contractors should they be isolated 
overseas.

    The authority for this collection resides in Presidential Policy 
Directive (PPD)/PPD-30, 22 U.S.C. 4802 and 22 U.S.C. 3927. The duty of 
an agency with employees in foreign countries is to ensure they fully 
comply with all applicable directives of the Chief of Mission. In order 
to protect FAA personnel on official duty abroad, the ITIC documents 
the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of FAA employees and 
contractors to help aid in their authentication and recovery. The ITIC 
requests the following PII: Name, Date of Birth, Gender, Height, 
Weight, Hair and Eye Color, Clothing and Shoe Size, Race/Ethnic Group, 
Blood Type, Scars/Marks/Tattoos, Known Medical Conditions, Current 
Medical Prescriptions, Allergies, Contact Information, Specialized 
Training, Language(s) Spoken, as well as information about their 
Emergency Contact. The traveler will also create a Duress Word and 
Personal Authenticator Statements to aid in the identification.
    This information will not be available to the public, and will be 
managed in accordance with applicable Records Management and Privacy 
Act policies. Only two International Travel Security Program Managers 
and the Senior Watch Officer of the Washington Operations Center can 
retrieve ITICs to aid employees and/or contractors during an isolating 
event, as determined by the Chief of Mission. The Chief of Mission, 
relying on situational factors, will make the ultimate decision with 
whom this information is shared, such as, but not limited to, the 
Department of Defense, in the event of a personnel recovery event.
    Respondents: The FAA estimates 52 respondents because of the number 
of contractors who traveled internationally on official business in 
Fiscal Year 2023.
    Frequency: As needed.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes per traveler.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 26 hours per year.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on April 19, 2024.
Michelle L. Salter,
Executive Director FAA, Office of Investigations and Professional 
Responsibility.
