Abstract: The Transportation Security Administration is proposing to collect information from covered U.S. aircraft operators and foreign air carriers in order to begin implementation of the Secure Flight Program. The collection would cover passenger reservation data for covered domestic and international flights. The collection would also cover the collection from covered aircraft operators of certain identifying information for non-traveling individuals that the aircraft operators seek to authorize to enter a sterile area, i.e. to escort a minor or a passenger with disabilities or for another approved purpose.
