SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TSA published a Federal Register notice,
with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments, of the following
collection of information on March 4, 2020, 85 FR 12800.
Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is
not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it
displays a valid OMB control number. The ICR documentation will be
available at http://www.reginfo.gov upon its submission to OMB.
Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and approval of the following
information collection, TSA is soliciting comments to--
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed information requirement is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology.
Consistent with the requirements of Executive Order (E.O.) 13771,
Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs, and E.O. 13777,
Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda, TSA is also requesting comments
on the extent to which this request for information could be modified
to reduce the burden on respondents.
Information Collection Requirement
Title: Security Appointment Center (SAC) Visitor Request Form and
Foreign National Vetting Request.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
[[Page 34646]]
OMB Control Number: 1652-0068.
Form(s): TSA Forms 2802, 2816A, and 2816B.
Affected Public: Visitors to TSA facilities in the National Capital
Region.
Abstract: The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) is authorized to protect property owned, occupied, or secured by
the Federal Government. See 40 U.S.C. 1315. See also 41 CFR 102-81.15
(requires Federal agencies to be responsible for maintaining security
at their own or leased facilities). To implement this requirement, DHS
policy requires all visitors to DHS facilities in the NCR \1\ to have a
criminal history records check through the National Crime Information
Center (NCIC) system before accessing the facility. In reviewing the
NCIC results, TSA will consider whether an individual could potentially
pose a threat to the safety of TSA employees, contractors, visitors, or
the facility. TSA is revising the collection to transition the
applicable forms, TSA Forms 2802, 2816A, and 2816B, into Common Forms.
Common Forms permit Federal agency users beyond the agency that created
the form (e.g., Department of Homeland Security or U.S. Office of
Personnel Management) to streamline the information collection process
in coordination with OMB.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ TSA facilities in the NCR include TSA Headquarters, the
Freedom Center, the Transportation Security Integration Facility
(TSIF), the Metro Park office complex (Metro Park), and the
Annapolis Junction facility (AJ).

Number of Respondents: 29,595.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 226 hours annually.
Dated: June 2, 2020.

TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Information Technology.
