The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is seeking a revision of the TSA Customer Comment Card information collection. The card is being used at airports for customer complaints, compliments, and suggestions.
Several new response elements were added to the ICR, resulting in a change in the both the number of responses and burden hours associated with this information collection. TSA developed online submission forms with multiple dropdown menu options in response to GAO audit recommendations, OMB terms of clearance, and initiatives of the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security. The forms will permit customers to submit feedback and Civil Rights and Liberties comments and complaints electronically. These online submission forms include the Security Issue, the Request for Information, and the form to allow passengers to submit requests for assistance at the TSA checkpoint before they travel.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
