Abstract:
In order to allow Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) to fly armed, TSA established a specialized screening process for Federal, State, local, and tribal LEO needing to access the sterile area of the airport when they are going to fly armed. To document such LEO movements, TSA’s specialized screening procedures require the LEO to complete TSA Form 413A, Checkpoint Sign-In Log. This real-time situational awareness is necessary in the event of a contingency on board the aircraft, such as but not limited to, a disruptive passenger, air piracy, or other threat to the safety and security of a commercial aircraft.

Short Statement:
As a result of the UX, TSA increased the time burden of 1 minute to 4 minutes (0.0667 hours) for this collection. In addition, TSA is making changes to the collection that have a de minimis impact on the collection burden. TSA is revising the information collection by changing the identification of weapons section of the form, “Carrying:” to “Are you carrying?” and adding the option “Unarmed LEO Escort.” In addition, TSA is changing the question, “Completed Required LEO Flying Armed Training?” to “Completed Required TSA LEO Flying Armed Training?” TSA is making the changes for programmatic needs to capture information of unarmed escorts and to differentiate the TSA course from local, state, and other LEO Flying Armed Training courses.
