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 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.
TSA published a notice in the Federal
Register on June 15, 2009 (74 FR 28264)
announcing our intent to reinstate the
OMB control number, 1652–0036, for
this information collection. In response
to this notice, TSA has received
comments from the American Trucking
Association (ATA) and the American
Bus Association (ABA). TSA has
responded to ATA’s and ABA’s
concerns and thanked them for their
comments.
Information Collection Requirement
Title: Corporate Security Review
(CSR).
Type of Request: Reinstatement.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0036.
Forms(s): Corporate Security Review
Interview Form.
Affected Public: Owners and
operators of school bus, motor coach,
and trucking (general freight and
hazardous materials) companies,
privately-owned assets, State
Departments of Transportation, and

Abstract: TSA is seeking to reinstate
its OMB approval for this information
collection so that TSA can continue to
ascertain minimum security standards
and identify coverage gaps, activities
that are critical to carrying out its
transportation security mission. TSA
conducts this collection through
voluntary face-to-face visits at the
headquarters of the subject surface
transportation owners/operators. During

the site visit, TSA personnel complete
the CSR form, which asks securityrelated questions. This assessment is
necessary for TSA to establish the
current state of security practices for
highway modes of transportation. TSA
will then be able to make policy and
programmatic decisions to improve the
overall security posture within the
surface transportation community. The
data collected also can be utilized to
develop security practice assessments
and issue security guidelines, best
practices, and lessons learned for the
stakeholder community.
Number of Respondents: 400.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 1,200 hours annually.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on October
