The rule establishing this collection requires the establishment of security measures that permit normal flight operations to resume at the Maryland-3 airports (College Park Airport (CGS), Potomac Airfield (VKX), and Washington Executive/Hyde Field (W32)). To that end, TSA requires applicants seeking to fly to or from one of the Maryland-3 airports to submit personal information and fingerprints so that TSA can issue a personal identification number (PIN) and the FBI can conduct security threat assessments.
