The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) invites public
comment on one currently-approved
Information Collection Request (ICR),
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number 1652–0056,
abstracted below that we will submit to
OMB for renewal in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
The ICR describes the nature of the
information collection and its expected
burden. The collection allows TSA to
assess the current security practices in
the pipeline industry through TSA’s
Pipeline Corporate Security Review
(PCSR) program. The PCSR program is
part of the larger domain awareness,
prevention, and protection program
supporting TSA’s and the Department of
Homeland Security’s missions.
DATES: Send your comments by July 1,
2016.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be emailed
to [email protected] or delivered to
the TSA PRA Officer, Office of
Information Technology (OIT), TSA–11,
Transportation Security Administration,
601 South 12th Street, Arlington, VA
20598–6011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Christina A. Walsh at the above address,
or by telephone (571) 227–2062.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

Pursuant to section 10(d) of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, as
amended (5 U.S.C. App.), notice is
hereby given of the following meeting.
The meeting will be closed to the
public in accordance with the
provisions set forth in sections
552b(c)(4) and 552b(c)(6), title 5 U.S.C.,
as amended. The grant applications and
the discussions could disclose
confidential trade secrets or commercial
property such as patentable material,
and personal information concerning
individuals associated with the grant
applications, the disclosure of which
would constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy.

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.
Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0056;
Pipeline Corporate Security Review
(PCSR) Program. Under the Aviation
and Transportation Security Act
(ATSA) 1 and delegated authority from
the Secretary of Homeland Security,
TSA has broad responsibility and
authority for ‘‘security in all modes of
transportation . . . including security
responsibilities . . . over modes of
transportation that are exercised by the
Department of Transportation.’’ 2 TSA is
specifically empowered to develop
policies, strategies, and plans for
dealing with threats to transportation,3
oversee the implementation and
adequacy of security measures at
transportation facilities,4 and carry out
other appropriate duties relating to
transportation security.5 TSA has
developed the PCSR program to assess
the current security practices in the
pipeline industry.
The purpose of the PCSR program is
to develop first-hand knowledge of a
pipeline owner/operator’s corporate
security policies and procedures,
establish and maintain working
relationships with key pipeline security
personnel, and identify and share smart
security practices observed at individual
facilities to help enhance and improve
the security of the pipeline industry. To
this end, the PCSR Program provides
TSA with a method to discuss securityrelated matters with pipeline owners/
operators.
Focusing on the security of pipelines
and the crude oil and petroleum

2001), codified at 49 U.S.C. 114.

current authorities under ATSA have been
delegated to him by the Secretary of Homeland
Security. Section 403(2) of the Homeland Security
Act (HSA) of 2002, Public Law 107–296 (116 Stat.
2135, Nov. 25, 2002), transferred all functions of
TSA, including those of the Secretary of
Transportation and the Under Secretary of
Transportation of Security related to TSA, to the
Secretary of Homeland Security. Pursuant to DHS
Delegation Number 7060.2, the Secretary delegated
to the Administrator of TSA, subject to the
Secretary’s guidance and control, the authority
vested in the Secretary with respect to TSA,
including that in section 403(2) of the HSA.

fuel, home heating oil, and natural gas,

infrastructure, the PCSR program
subject matter experts:
• Meet with senior corporate officers
and security managers.
• Develop knowledge of security
planning at critical pipeline
infrastructure sites.
• Establish and maintain a working
relationship with key security staff who
operate critical pipeline infrastructure.
• Identify industry smart practices
and lessons learned.
• Maintain a dynamic modal network
through effective communications with
the pipeline industry and government
stakeholders.
In carrying out PCSRs, subject matter
experts from TSA, using a risk-based
approach, visit select pipeline owners/
operators throughout the nation. These
are voluntary face-to-face visits, usually
at the headquarters facility of the
pipeline owner/operator. Typically,
TSA sends one to three employees to
conduct a three- to four-hour interview
with representatives from the owner/
operator. The TSA representatives
analyze the owner/operator’s security
plan and determine if the mitigation
measures included in the plan are being
properly implemented. TSA then may
visit one or two of the owner/operator’s
assets to further assess the
implementation of the owner/operator’s
security plan.
TSA has developed a question set to
aid in the conducting of PCSRs. The
PCSR Question Set drives the TSAowner/operator discussion and is the
central data source for all security
information collected. The PCSR
Question Set was developed based on
government and industry guidance to
obtain information from a pipeline
owner/operator about its security plan
and processes. The questions are
designed to examine the company’s
current state of security, as well as to
address measures that are applied if
there is a change in the National
Terrorism Advisory System.
In application, topics such as security
program management, vulnerability
assessments, components of the security
plan, security training, and emergency
communications enable the PCSR
Teams to assess the owner/operator’s
security plan by evaluating a broad
range of security issues such as physical
security, cyber security,
communication, and training. The PCSR
Question Set also includes sections for
facility site visits and owner/operator
contact information. The questions and
subsequent answers help provide TSA
with a snapshot of a company’s security

posture and are instrumental in
developing smart practices and security
measures.
This PCSR information collection
provides TSA with real-time
information on current security
practices within the pipeline mode of
the surface transportation sector. This
information allows TSA to adapt
programs to the changing security
threat, while incorporating an
understanding of the improvements
owners/operators make in their security
measures. Without this information, the
ability of TSA to perform its security
mission would be severely hindered.
Additionally, the relationships these
face-to-face contacts foster are critical to
the Federal government’s ability to
reach out to the pipeline stakeholders
affected by the PCSRs. TSA assures
respondents that the portion of their
responses that is deemed Sensitive
Security Information (SSI) will be
protected in accordance with
procedures meeting the transmission,
handling, and storage requirements of
SSI set forth in 49 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) parts 15 and 1520.
The annual hour burden for this
information collection is estimated to be
120 hours based upon 15 PCSR visits
per year, each lasting a total of eight
hours.
