    The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is revising its information collection process under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This revision involves a new application for individuals seeking access to sensitive security information (SSI). The changes include splitting the current form into two separate forms, used for court proceedings and standard use, and updating how background checks are conducted. The TSA is seeking public comments on this proposal and estimates it will impact 263 respondents, with a total burden of about 104.53 hours annually.
