Abstract: TSA intends to test and evaluate certain new and emerging
biometric and other technologies during the Airport Access Control Pilot
Program (AACPP). TSA will gather biometric information, demographic
information, and airport user identification from a select group of
participants at 20 locations to test the use of emerging technologies
for airport access control and then evaluate those technologies using
two satisfaction instruments. The first instrument will be a survey
given to a representative sample of airport users and the second
instrument will be an interview conducted with the lead stakeholder at
each site and a small percentage of persons participating in the
project. Surveys and interviews will be voluntary and anonymous.

Number of Respondents: 2,620.

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 780.

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 through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on May 20, 2004.

Susan T. Tracey,
Chief Administrative Officer.
