TSA issued an interim final rule to restore access to Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) for certain aircraft operations while maintaining the security of critical Federal Government and other assets in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The IFR and this information collection apply to all general aviation operations into or out of DCA. TSAâs regulations require GA aircraft operators to designate a security coordinator and adopt a DCA Access Standard Security Program (DASSP). As part of the DASSP, the regulations require GA aircraft operators to ensure all flight crewmembers, armed security officers (ASOs), and security coordinators have undergone a fingerprint-based criminal history records check (CHRC).

No program changes or adjustments have been made. However, TSA corrected the respondent numbers for the DASSP application. Previously, TSA inaccurately provided the number of annual responses instead of the number of annual respondents. The correction reduces the overall respondent numbers for the information collection from 704 to 160.
