Real-Time Wait-Time Dashboarding.

Type of Request:

New collection.

OMB Control Number:

1652-XXXX.

Form(s):

N/A.

Affected Public:

Abstract:

Consistent with the requirements in section 1922 of the TSA Modernization Act, TSA intends to collect RTWT data voluntarily submitted by airport or aircraft operators.

See

Division K of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, Public Law 115-254 (132 Stat. 3561; Oct. 5, 2018); codified at 49 U.S.C. 44901 note. The purpose of the collection is to allow

airport or aircraft operators to provide TSA with real-time insight into the operational tempo of the TSA checkpoint, and which data TSA will share publicly via the MyTSA mobile application. TSA has designed an internal dashboard and Application Programming Interface to ingest and store the RTWT data in 60-second or less intervals. The data will be collected electronically, as determined by agreement with the relevant airport operator, or aircraft operator. The data being collected is aggregated wait-time data across the various screening lane configurations (

e.g.,

TSA PreCheck®, Standard, or any combination of screening types (

e.g.,

Blended)) and does not contain any personally identifiable information.

Estimated Annual Number of Respondents:

348.
