Abstract:
The Transportation Security Administration is proposing to collect information from covered U.S. aircraft operators and foreign air carriers in order to begin implementation of the Secure Flight Program. The collection would cover passenger reservation data for covered domestic and international flights. The collection would also cover the collection from covered aircraft operators of certain identifying information for non-traveling individuals that the aircraft operators seek to authorize to enter a sterile area, i.e. to escort a minor or a passenger with disabilities or for another approved purpose.

Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
The changes reflect additional aircraft operators that have migrated to Secure Flight as covered carriers. The total number of covered Secure Flight carriers has grown from 211 in 2011 to 262 covered carriers in 2015 and from 262 in 2015 to 323 in 2018. Going forward, TSA also anticipates 15 to 20 new covered aircraft operators to cutover to Secure Flight annually. The changes also cover the transmission of lists of low-risk passengers who are eligible for expedited screening that are received from non-federal entities. The changes also reflect: • In 2018, via a security program amendment, TSA ended the Airport Sterile Area Access Pass Program (ASAAPP). Previously, in 2016, ASAAPP had replaced the Airport Access Authorization to Commercial Establishments (AAACE) Beyond the Screening Checkpoint pilot, which was implemented in 2011. • Increased requests for Gate Passes by covered airlines and aircraft operators for individuals seeking access to the sterile areas. • TSA’s phase out of the use of the Frequent Flier Code Word (FFCW) and the CAPPS Assessment sent by the covered airlines.
