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.
This revision reflects additional aircraft operators that have migrated to Secure Flight as covered carriers. The total number of covered Secure Flight carriers has grown from 163 in 2008 to 211 in 2011, and from 211 in 2011 to 262 covered carriers in 2015. Going forward, TSA also anticipates 15â20 new covered aircraft operators to cutover to Secure Flight annually. This revision also covers the transmission of the CAPPS assessment and FFCW to TSA as part of Secure Flight risk assessment, as well as lists of low-risk passengers who are eligible for expedited screening that are received from non-federal entities.
In the effort to further develop passenger prescreening solutions and implementation plans for a population of Twelve-Five, Private Charter, and other general aviation operators who may access Secure Flight in the future, TSA planned to collect written survey data from the community to understand their current operating capabilities. TSA did not implement the planned survey and does not have plans to implement the survey at this time.
