Short Statement:
On June 19, 2014, TSA removed the cargo reporting requirements contained within TSA’s Security Programs that mandated domestic/foreign air carriers and certified cargo screening facilities submit information regarding the amount of cargo screened. These requirements were removed, because all cargo is now required to be screened at 100% per the 9/11 Act. However, the cargo reporting information is still required for certain aircraft operators and foreign air carriers, who have requested that their security programs be amended to perform certain operations. TSA has issued a limited number of these security program amendments. Aircraft operators and foreign air carriers operating under these amendments must provide to TSA data, regarding screening volumes and the methodology utilized to arrive at these volumes, as well as demonstrate progress toward full compliance with the cargo security measures specified in such amendments. As such, TSA is seeking a revision of this ICR to specifically include cargo reporting requirements for these regulated parties. This change will result in a decrease of the annual cargo reporting burden, moving from 7,384, as reported in the last ICR submission, to 520 annual hours. Also, TSA has obtained better estimates from the program offices which have resulted in a lower burden, moving from an overall 1,083,302 to 686,067 annual responses, and 86,061 to 74,785 annual burden.
