Short Statement: The burden was changed from the previous submission in 2008. At that time, the TWIC Program had only recently been deployed and many numbers were estimates (based on input from academia, industry, and other government sources). However, data used in this submission are based on actuals, as well as more refined estimates. There are no changes to the information being collected. TSA also has recently adjusted the hour and cost burden to account for those eligible TWIC holders who choose the three-year extended TWIC option (EED TWIC) and OneVisit option.
