review and approval of an extension of the currently approved 
collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The ICR describes the 
nature of the information collection and its expected burden. TSA 
published a Federal Register notice, with a 60-day comment period

of information by individuals seeking access to Sensitive Security 
Information (SSI) for use in civil proceedings in Federal court.

effective if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be 
addressed to Nathan Lesser, Desk Officer, Department of Homeland 
Security/TSA, and sent via electronic mail to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is 
not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it 
displays a valid OMB control number. The ICR documentation is available 
at http://www.reginfo.gov. Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and 

approval of the following information collection, 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 using appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology.

Information Collection Requirement

    Title: Sensitive Security Information Threat Assessments.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    OMB Control Number: 1652-0042.
    Forms(s): Security Threat Assessment Application.
    Affected Public: Individuals seeking access to Sensitive Security 
Information (SSI) for use in civil proceedings in Federal court.
    Abstract: TSA is seeking to renew this control number for the 
maximum three-year period in order to continue compliance with sec. 525 
of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2007 (DHS 
Appropriations Act), and to continue the process TSA developed whereby 
a party seeking access to SSI in a civil proceeding in federal court 
that demonstrates a substantial need of relevant SSI in the preparation 
of the party's case, and that the party is unable without undue 
hardship to obtain the substantial equivalent of the information by 
other means, may request that the party or party's representative be 
granted conditional access to the SSI at issue in the case. 
Additionally, court reporters that are required to record or transcribe 
testimony containing specific SSI and do not have a current clearance 
required for access to classified national security information as 
defined by E.O. 12958 will need to request to be granted access to SSI. 
TSA will use the information collected to conduct the threat assessment 
for the purpose of determining whether the provision of such access to 
the information for the proceeding presents a risk of harm to the 
nation. The results of the threat assessment will be used to make a 
final determination on whether the individual may be granted access to 
the SSI at issue in the case.
    Number of Respondents: 180.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 180 hours annually.

    Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on June 11, 2007.
Fran Lozito,
Director, Business Management Office, Operational Process and 
Technology.
