The TSA Claims, Outreach, and Debt Branch (CODB) requests to continue collection of certain information to investigate tort claims filed against TSA for property damage, property loss, personal injury, or death. TSA needs to collect certain information from claimants, in addition to that collected on the Standard Form 95, to investigate claims properly. TSA is seeking continued approval for two forms associated with this process.
There has been no program change to this collection of information since its previous OMB approval, but the total hours increased from 5,000 to 5,300 due to accounting for payment information requests time and 200 additional claims per year.
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.
