Abstract: TSA Claims Management Office (CMO) requests certain information to investigate tort claims filed against TSA for property damage, property loss, personal injury, or death. TSA needs to collect certain information from claimants, in addition to that collected on the Standard Form 95, to investigate claims properly. TSA is seeking approval for its two supplemental forms, as well as for a pilot electronic claims system currently in development, which will ease the burden on claimants and streamline the claims process.
