🇬🇧 English

This notice keeps in place TSA’s process for collecting information from public and private entities that want reimbursable TSA screening services outside a main passenger terminal. The program can cover screening of passengers, flight crews, carry-on items, personal items, and, in some offsite cases, checked baggage. TSA-regulated entities that may want these services should expect the same request process to continue while OMB reviews the extension. Comments on the information collection are due by June 1, 2026, and TSA estimates 15 respondents per year with a total annual burden of 492 hours.
