OMB for a revision in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
The ICR describes the nature of the
information collection and its expected
burden. Specifically, the collection
involves the submission of data
concerning pipeline security incidents.
DATES: Send your comments by April
25, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be emailed
to [email protected] or delivered to the
TSA PRA Officer, Office of Information
Technology (OIT), TSA–11,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Christina A. Walsh at the above address,

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.

Pipeline Operator Security Information.
Under the Aviation and Transportation
Security Act (ATSA) (Pub. L. 107–71,
115 Stat. 597 (November 19, 2001)) and
delegated authority from the Secretary
of Homeland Security, TSA has broad
responsibility and authority for
‘‘security in all modes of transportation

responsibilities * * * over modes of
transportation that are exercised by the
Department of Transportation.’’ In
executing its responsibility for modal

security, TSA produced the Pipeline
Security Guidelines in December 2010.
As the lead Federal agency for
pipeline security, TSA desires to be
notified of all incidents which are
indicative of a deliberate attempt to
disrupt pipeline operations or activities
that could be precursors to such an
attempt. The Pipeline Security
Guidelines encourage pipeline operators
to notify the Transportation Security
Operations Center (TSOC) via phone at
866–615–5150 or email at TSOC.ST@
dhs.gov as soon as possible if any of the
following incidents occurs or if there is
other reason to believe that a terrorist
incident may be planned or may have
occurred:
• Explosions or fires of a suspicious
nature affecting pipeline systems,
facilities, or assets.
• Actual or suspected attacks on
pipeline systems, facilities, or assets.
• Bomb threats or weapons of mass
destruction (WMD) threats to pipeline
systems, facilities, or assets.
• Theft of pipeline company vehicles,
uniforms, or employee credentials.
• Suspicious persons or vehicles
around pipeline systems, facilities,
assets, or right-of-way.
• Suspicious photography or possible
surveillance of pipeline systems,
facilities, or assets.
• Suspicious phone calls from people
asking about the vulnerabilities or
security practices of a pipeline system,
facility, or asset operation.
• Suspicious individuals applying for
security-sensitive positions in the
pipeline company.
• Theft or loss of Sensitive Security
Information (SSI) (detailed pipeline
maps, security plans, etc.).
• Actual or suspected cyber-attacks
that could impact pipeline Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
or enterprise associated IT systems.
When contacting the TSOC, the
Guidelines request pipeline operators to
provide as much of the following
information as possible:
• Name and contact information
(email address, telephone number).
• The time and location of the
incident, as specifically as possible.
• A description of the incident or
activity involved.
• Who has been notified and what
actions have been taken.
• The names and/or descriptions of
persons involved or suspicious parties
and license plates as appropriate.
In addition to the reporting of security
incident data to the TSOC, the Pipeline
Security Guidelines previously included
collecting information on
recommendations for the voluntary
submission of pipeline operator security

manager contact information to TSA.
See 74 FR 37723 (July 29, 2009) and 75
FR 49943 (August 16, 2010). TSA is
revising the collection of information
and will no longer collect the security
manager contact information; however,
the agency will continue to collect
information on the reporting of security
incident data to TSOC.
TSA expects reporting of pipeline
security incidents will occur on an
irregular basis. TSA estimates that
approximately 30 incidents will be
reported annually, requiring a
maximum of 30 minutes to collect,
review, and submit event information.
The potential burden to the public is
estimated to be 15 hours (30 incidents
× 30 minutes = 15 hours).
Dated: February 22, 2016.

TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Office
of Information Technology.
