Under the Aviation and Transportation
Security Act (ATSA)and delegated authority from the Secretary of
Homeland Security, TSA is tasked with developing
policies,strategies, and plans for dealing with transportation
security. TSA carries out this responsibility in the pipeline mode
by assessing current industry security practices by way of its
Pipeline Corporate Security Review (PCSR) program.
US Code:
49
USC 114(d) Name of Law: US Code 49, Transportation
TSA was able to increase the
number of PCSRs from 12 to 15 per year. Hour burden increased from
96 hours to 120 hours due to the increased number of reviews. The
cost to the Federal Government increased from $69,389 to $86,742.70
for the same reason. TSA's 2011 submission to OMB erroneously
listed the cost of hour burden to industry in Question 13 of the
supporting statement. That cost has been removed from the current
submission resulting in a decrease of $11,076.48 in cost
burden.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and

If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
