This airport survey represents an important part of TSA's efforts to collect data on customer satisfaction with TSA's aviation security procedures. TSA will use airport surveys to compute a statistically valid Customer Satisfaction Index for Aviation Operations(CSI-A)system-wide and for individual airports. TSA will also use informal airport surveys, conducted by airport staff, for targeted measurement.
The hour burden has changed from the last submission because of a program change. The number of respondents for the airport-initiated surveys has dropped from 300 to 200 per airport. Based on our experience, TSA official at most airports have the time and resources to gather only 100-200 responses per survey. The annual maximum numer of airports surveyed for the formal survey has declined from 70 to 60. Based on previous experience, the greatest number of airports that we have been able to survey in one fiscal year has been 30. Therefore, the maximum of 70 was too generous.
