TSA explains that the CCSP information collections listed below are needed to continue to meet Section 1602 of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110--53), which requires the development of a system to screen 50 percent of the cargo transported on a passenger aircraft by February 2009, and to screen 100 percent of such cargo by August 2010:
- Applications from entities that wish to become Certified Cargo Screening Facilities (CCSF) or operate as a TSA-approved validation firm
- personal information to allow TSA to conduct security threat assessments on key individuals employed by the CCSFs and validation firms;
- implementation of a standard security program or submission of a proposed modified security program;
- information on the amount of cargo screened;
- recordkeeping requirements for CCSFs and validation firms; and
- submission of validation reports to TSA.
