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.
US Code:
49 USC 114
Name of Law: Transportation Security Administration
TSA now allows for the electronic submission of certain information from applicants, including: application, FAA Medical Certificate, FAA Airman Certificate (Pilot), DC Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA) Training Certificate, and a Government Issued Photo I.D. As a result, applicants no longer are required to travel round-trip to an FAA Flight Standarads District Office (FSDO). This change has resulted in a decrease of an average of six hours travel time per applicant. TSA has submitted this collection as a Deregulatory Action.
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.
