Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a valid OMB control
number. The ICR documentation is
available at http://www.reginfo.gov.
Therefore, in preparation for OMB
review and approval of the following
information collection, TSA is soliciting
comments to—
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
information requirement is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including using
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Information Collection Requirement
Title: Department of Homeland
Security—Vulnerability Identification
Self-Assessment Tool—Transportation
(DHS–VISAT–T).
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0037.
Forms(s): NA.
Affected Public: Transportation
Sectors.
Abstract: The DHS–VISAT–T
(formerly the TSA Self-Assessment Risk
Module (TSARM)) was developed to
assist all modes of transportation asset
owners/operators in developing a
security plan and in performing a
vulnerability assessment of their
asset(s). The tool is designed to be userfriendly, web-based, and is provided at
no cost to transportation owner and
operators. The tool captures a snapshot
of the asset’s baseline security posture
and assists the stakeholder in
conducting a vulnerability assessment
and completing a comprehensive
security plan. TSA designed this tool to
be flexible to support the unique
characteristics of each transportation
mode, while still providing a common
framework from which analysis and
trends can be identified. Thus far, TSA
has developed modules of the tool for
maritime, mass transit, highway bridges,
and rail passenger stations, with more in
development.
Users have the option to submit the
completed assessment to TSA. If

to the users. Submitted assessments are
then used to conduct analysis of the
industry standard and to provide cross
sector analysis of multiple modes.
Number of Respondents: 1,000.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 8,000 hours annually.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on
February 12, 2009.
