ACTION: 30-day notice.
AGENCY:

This notice announces that
the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) has forwarded the
new Information Collection Request
(ICR) abstracted below to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The
ICR describes the nature of the
information collection and its expected
burden. TSA published a Federal
Register notice, with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments, of the
following collection of information on
January 6, 2011 (76 FR 792). The ICR
describes the nature of the information
collection and its expected burden for
the TSA Exercise Information System
(EXIS). EXIS is a web portal designed to
serve stakeholders in the transportation
industry by providing transportation

stakeholders with an online tool to
generate security exercises based on the
unique needs of their specific
transportation mode or method of
operation. It provides stakeholders with
exercise information tailored to the
transportation industry, best practices,
and lessons learned based on experience
for use in future exercises. Utilizing and
inputting information into EXIS is
completely voluntary.
Send your comments by January
18, 2012. A comment to OMB is most
effective if OMB receives it within 30
days of publication.

DATES:

Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, OMB. Comments should be
addressed to Desk Officer, Department
of Homeland Security/TSA, and sent via

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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.

Comments Received
Pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.8(d), TSA
published a 60-day notice soliciting
comments from persons outside of the
agency regarding the data collection
procedures of EXIS. This notice was
published on January 6, 2011 (76 FR
792). TSA received two comments. The
first comment was from a contractor in
the Infrastructure Protection Disaster
Management Division of the Science
and Technology Directorate at DHS.
This comment sought more information
regarding the program manager of EXIS
and program manager role/capabilities
in exercise training. TSA responded by
referring the commentator to the
appropriate EXIS personnel for further
detail on the EXIS program manager
role. The second comment came from a
transportation security inspector in
South Carolina seeking more
information on the capabilities of EXIS.
TSA responded by electronically
sending the commentator an EXIS
information brochure and referring the
commentator to the EXIS email address
for any additional questions. To our
knowledge, no additional comments
have been received.

Information Collection Requirement
Title: Exercise Information System
(EXIS).
Type of Request: New collection.
OMB Control Number: Not yet
assigned.
Form(s): N/A.
Affected Public: Interested
transportation owners and operators
with security interests and
responsibilities.
Abstract: The Exercise Information
System (EXIS) is an Internet-accessible
knowledge-management system
developed by TSA serving
stakeholders—industry, port authorities,
Federal agencies, and State and local
governments—and integrating other
security-related training and exercise
components. Because EXIS may contain
Sensitive Security Information (SSI),1
the system meets the requirements for
an SSI-level system. EXIS gives
stakeholders valuable exercise
information tailored to the
transportation industry, best practices,
and lessons learned based on experience
for use in future exercises.
Transportation industry stakeholders
can choose scenarios and objectives
based on their particular needs, such as
their transportation modes, or their
regulated areas of operation. EXIS is a
data management system that provides
end-to-end security exercise support,

49 U.S.C. 114(s); 49 CFR part 1520.

from the initial planning meeting,
through exercise design,
implementation, evaluation, and
reporting.
TSA will use this information to
assess and improve the capabilities of
all surface transportation modes to
prevent, prepare for, mitigate against,
respond to, and recover from
transportation security incidents. A
failure to collect this information will
limit TSA’s ability to effectively test
security countermeasures, security
plans, and the ability of a modal
operator to respond to and quickly
recover after a transportation security
incident. Insufficient awareness,
prevention, response, and recovery to a
transportation security incident will
result in increased vulnerability of the
U.S. transportation network and a
reduced ability of DHS to assess system
readiness.
Since the system has not been
released to the public yet, it is difficult
to determine the amount of volume that
will be generated from its release. Based
on industry population estimates and
industry growth rates transportation
modes prior to EXIS release to the
public, TSA estimates that there will be
approximately 336,000 users within the
first three years of the system’s use. TSA
estimates users will spend
approximately 7 hours per EXIS user
inputting the information described
above.
Number of Respondents: 112,109.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 392,385 hours annually.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on
December 13, 2011.
Joanna Johnson,
TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Office
of Information Technology.
