Title: Critical Facility Information of the Top 100 Most Critical Pipelines
Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Emergency	Approval Requested By: 01/31/2008
OIRA Conclusion Action: Improperly submitted	Conclusion Date: 01/30/2008
	Date Received in OIRA: 01/16/2008
Terms of Clearance: This collection is being returned to DHS as improperly submitted. The collection request should be resubmitted for approval through the regular process. The justification for this emergency request is based solely on the upcoming statutory deadline of August 3rd, 2008. According to the emergency justification, TSA will need 9 months to collect and process these data in order to meet the requirements of the statute. Therefore, it isn't possible for TSA to meet the deadline even with emergency PRA approval. Further, the 9/11 bill was signed in August of 2007, giving TSA plenty of time to publish their FR notices and seek OMB approval through regular procedures. Public comment improves the quality of collections of information. By following the standard process TSA's collection instrument will be better able to capture the data that provides the greatest practical utility and imposes the least burden on respondents.
