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. 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.
