OMB for renewal in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
The ICR describes the nature of the
information collection and its expected
burden. OMB approved the collection of
information for six months and TSA

approval. The collection involves the
submission of identifying and other
information by individuals applying for
a TWIC and a customer satisfaction
survey.

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
OMB Control Number 1652–0047;
Transportation Worker Identification
Credential (TWIC) Program. TSA
developed the Transportation Worker
Identification Credential (TWIC)
program to mitigate threats and
vulnerabilities in the national
transportation system. TWIC is a
common credential for all personnel
requiring unescorted access to secure
areas of facilities and vessels regulated
under the Maritime Transportation
Security Act (MTSA) and all mariners
holding U. S. Coast Guard credentials.
Before issuing an individual a TWIC,
TSA performs a security threat
assessment, which requires TSA to
collect certain personal information
such as name, address, and date of birth.
Applicants are also required to provide
fingerprints and undergo a criminal
history records check.
The program implements authorities
set forth in the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act (ATSA)
(Pub. L. 107–71; Nov. 19, 2002; sec.
106), the Maritime Transportation
Security Act of 2002 (MTSA) (Pub. L.
107–295; Nov. 25, 2002; sec. 102), and
the Safe, Accountable, Flexible,
Efficient Transportation Equity Act—A
Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU) (Pub.
L. 109–59; Aug. 10, 2005; sec. 7105),
codified at 49 U.S.C. 5103a(g). TSA and
the U. S. Coast Guard (Coast Guard)
issued a joint notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) on May 22, 2006,
71 FR 29396. After consideration of
public comments on the NPRM, TSA
issued a joint final rule with the Coast
Guard on January 25, 2007 (72 FR 3492),
applicable to the maritime
transportation sector that would require
this information collection.
TSA collects data from applicants
during an optional pre-enrollment step
or during the enrollment session at an
enrollment center. TSA will use the
information collected to conduct a
security threat assessment, which
includes: (1) A criminal history records
check; (2) a check of intelligence
databases; and (3) an immigration status
check. TSA invites all TWIC applicants
to complete an optional survey to gather
information on the applicants’ overall
customer satisfaction with the

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 80 / Tuesday, April 26, 2011 / Notices
enrollment process. This optional
survey is administered by a Trusted
Agent (representative of the TWIC
enrollment contractor, who performs
enrollment functions) during the
process to activate the TWIC. These
surveys are collected at each enrollment
center and compiled to produce reports
that are reviewed by the contractor and
TSA. The current estimated annualized
reporting burden is 2,630,719 hours and
the estimated annualized cost burden is
$57,002,236.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on April 20,
2011.

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

unless it displays a valid OMB control

Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0036;
Corporate Security Review. Under the
Aviation and Transportation Security
Act (ATSA) 1 and delegated authority
from the Secretary of Homeland
Security, TSA has broad responsibility
and authority for ‘‘security in all modes
of transportation * * * including
security responsibilities * * * over
modes of transportation that are
exercised by the Department of
Transportation.’’ 2 TSA has additional
authorities as well. TSA is specifically
empowered to develop policies,
strategies, and plans for dealing with
threats to transportation,3 ensure the
adequacy of security measures for the
transportation of cargo,4 oversee the
1 Public Law 107–71, 115 Stat. 597 (November 19,
2001).
2 See 49 U.S.C. 114(d). The TSA Assistant
Secretary’s current authorities under ATSA have
been delegated to him by the Secretary of Homeland
Security. Section 403(2) of the Homeland Security
Act (HSA) of 2002, Public Law 107–296, 116 Stat.
2315 (2002), transferred all functions of TSA,
including those of the Secretary of Transportation
and the Under Secretary of Transportation of
Security related to TSA, to the Secretary of
Homeland Security. Pursuant to DHS Delegation
Number 7060.2, the Secretary delegated to the
Assistant Secretary (then referred to as the
Administrator of TSA), subject to the Secretary’s
guidance and control, the authority vested in the
Secretary with respect to TSA, including that in sec.
403(2) of the HSA.

implementation and ensure the
adequacy of security measures at
transportation facilities,5 and carry out
other appropriate duties relating to
transportation security.6
One way TSA carries out its surface
transportation responsibilities is by
assessing the current security practices
in the trucking, school bus, and motor
coach industries, as well as at State
Departments of Transportation (DOTs),
by way of its Corporate Security Review
(CSR) program. The CSR program
encompasses site visits and interviews,
and is one piece of a much larger
domain awareness, prevention, and
protection program in support of TSA’s
and the Department of Homeland
Security’s missions. TSA is seeking to
renew its OMB approval for this
information collection so that TSA can
continue to ascertain minimum security
standards and identify coverage gaps,
activities critical to carrying out its
transportation security mission.
The CSR is an ‘‘instructive’’ review
that provides TSA with an
understanding of certain surface
transportation owner/operators’ security
programs, if they have adopted such
programs. In carrying out CSRs,
Transportation Security Specialists
(TSS) from TSA’s Highway and Motor
Carrier Division (HMC) and
Transportation Security InspectorsSurface (TSI–S) conduct site visits of
trucking (excluding hazardous materials
shippers and carriers), school bus,
motor coach companies and State DOTs
throughout the nation. The TSA
representatives analyze the owner’s/
operator’s security plan, if the owner/
operator has adopted one, and
determines if the mitigation measures
included in the plan are being properly
implemented. In addition to examining
the security plan document, TSA
reviews one or more assets of the
owner/operator or State DOT.
During the site visits, TSA completes
a CSR form, which contains questions
concerning ten topics: Management and
oversight of the security plan, threat
assessment, criticality assessment,
vulnerability assessment, personnel
security, training, physical security
countermeasures, en route security,
information technology security, and
security exercises and drills. TSA
conducts this collection through
voluntary face-to-face visits at the
headquarters of the surface
transportation owners/operators.
Typically, TSA sends one employee to
conduct a two to three hour discussion/
interview with representatives from the
