with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments, of the following
collection of information on November 25, 2024, 89 FR 92960. TSA

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 https://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: Enhanced Security Procedures at Ronald Reagan Washington
National Airport.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652-0035.
Forms(s): DCA Access Standard Security Program (DASSP) Aircraft
Operator Application Form.
Affected Public: GA aircraft operators and passengers, ASOs, flight
crewmembers, fixed base operators, and gateway airport operators.
Abstract: TSA is requesting an extension of this information
collection. In accordance with 49 CFR part 1562, subpart B, TSA
requires GA aircraft operators who wish to fly into or out of DCA to
designate a security coordinator and adopt the DASSP. Once aircraft
operators have complied with the DASSP requirements, they must request
a slot reservation from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and
request authorization from TSA for each flight into and out of DCA.
This information collection is approved under OMB control number 1652-
0033, TSA Airspace Waiver Applications.
As part of the DASSP requirements, individuals designated as
security coordinators, ASOs, and flight crewmembers assigned to duty on
a GA aircraft flying into and out of DCA must submit fingerprints for a
Criminal History Records Check (CHRC). In addition, GA aircraft
operators must also maintain CHRC records of all employees and
authorized representatives for whom a CHRC has been completed.
Under the Armed Security Officer Program, DASSP approved entities
can nominate candidates through an online nomination form. Once
approved by TSA to participate, the candidates are vetted for
suitability for the program by providing various application materials.
A law enforcement employment verification check is then completed. In
addition, they are required to submit their fingerprints so that a CHRC
can be conducted. Upon successful completion of the application
process, a final determination of eligibility is adjudicated. All
qualified applicants must then successfully complete a TSA-approved
training course.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 162.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 176.
Dated: April 18, 2025.

TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Information Technology,
