SUMMARY:

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 www.reginfo.gov. Therefore,
in preparation for OMB review and
approval of the following information
collection, TSA is inviting 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 1652–0027;
Security Threat Assessment for
Individuals Applying for a Hazardous
Materials Endorsement for a
Commercial Drivers License, 49 CFR
part 1572. TSA is requesting renewal of
the currently approved ICR with minor
changes. This collection supports the
implementation of section 1012 of the
USA PATRIOT Act (Pub. L. 107–56, 115
Stat. 272, 396, Oct. 26, 2001), which
mandates that no State or the District of
Columbia may issue a HME on a CDL
unless TSA has first determined the
driver is not a threat to transportation
security. On November 24, 2004, TSA
published the final rule in the Federal
Register (69 FR 68720), codified at 49
CFR part 1572, that describes the
procedures, standards, and eligibility
criteria for security threat assessments
on individuals seeking to obtain, renew,
or transfer a HME on a CDL. TSA
subsequently amended the rule on
January 25, 2007 (72 FR 3492). In order
to conduct the security threat
assessment, States (or TSA’s agent in
States that elect to have TSA perform
the collection of information) must
collect information in addition to that
already collected for the purpose of
HME applications, which will occur
once approximately every five years.
The driver is required to submit an
application that includes personal
biographic information (for instance,
height, weight, eye and hair color, date
of birth); information concerning legal
status, mental health defects history,
and criminal history; as well as
fingerprints. TSA is amending the
application to collect optional minor
additional information, such as U.S.
Department of State forms showing birth
abroad to U.S. citizens and U.S.
passport number. This information
helps the applicant prove U.S.
citizenship even though the applicant
was born abroad. Also, the application
will ask the applicant to state whether
he is a new applicant, or is applying to
renew or transfer the HME. This will
enable the program to better understand
and forecast driver retention, transfer
rate, and drop-rate to help improve

customer service, reduce program costs,
and provide comparability with other
Federal background checks, including
the Transportation Workers
Identification Credential (TWIC). TSA is
removing items concerning military
service. In addition, the rule (49 CFR
part 1572) requires States to maintain a
copy of the driver application for a
period of one year.
These changes should reduce the
burden on applicants, States, and TSA.
By receiving this information during the
application process, requests for
additional information or
documentation will be reduced during
the post-adjudication process.
From 2012 through 2014, TSA
estimates respondent drivers will spend
approximately 2.9 million hours on the
application and background check
process. TSA estimates an annualized
295,000 respondents will apply for an
HME, and that the application and
background check process will involve
960,000 annualized hours. TSA
estimates the total costs to respondent
drivers will be $77.9 million over the
three-year period ($25 million
annualized).

12, 2012.
