The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), part of the Department of Transportation, is seeking public comments for a new information collection initiative called the International Traveler Information Card (ITIC). This initiative aims to gather critical personal information from FAA employees and contractors who travel overseas for work, so they can be identified and assisted if isolated in a foreign country. The collected data will help provide rescue and support services if necessary. The comment window for this proposal closes on January 10, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to make sure their workers, who travel to other countries for work, are safe. They're collecting some personal information, like names and contact details, in case they need help if they get stuck or lost while away.
