each enrollment center and compiled to
produce reports that are reviewed by the
contractor and TSA.
The collection is being revised to
allow TSA to use the information to
expand enrollment options and the
potential use of biographic and
biometric (e.g., fingerprints, iris scans,
and/or photo) information. This will
allow future use of the information
collected for additional comparability or
eligibility determinations for other
programs or security requirements, such
as allowing the TWIC® applicant to
participate not only in a program such
as the TSA Pre✓® Application Program,
TSA’s expedited screening program for
air travelers, but also in the Hazardous
Materials Endorsement (HME) Program
without requiring an additional
background check.
In addition, the collection is being
revised to remove the requirement to
collect information about the Extended
Expiration Date (EED) TWIC®. In 2012,
TSA issued an exemption option that
permitted eligible TWIC® cardholders to
obtain a replacement card that extended
the expiration date of their security
threat assessment and TWIC® card by
three years on payment of a reduced
renewal fee. The EED TWIC® was a onetime temporary option intended to
provide convenience and cost-savings to
applicants pending U.S. Coast Guard
issuance of the Notice to Proposed
Rulemaking for the TWIC® Reader Rule.
The EED TWIC® renewal option is being
discontinued, and applicants will be
required to obtain a five-year TWIC®
through the standard renewal process.
Also, TSA is re-evaluating its fee
collection for the TWIC® Program in
light of changes to the fee the FBI
charges for fingerprint processing.
Effective October 1, 2016, the FBI will
reduce its fingerprint-based criminal
history records check fee by $2.75 based
on recommendations from a required
user fee study (81 FR 45535). Section
1572.501(b)(3) of the TWIC® Final Rule
(72 FR 3491) states that if the FBI
amends its fee for criminal history
records checks, TSA will collect the
amended FBI fee. As a result of the FBI’s
fee change, the TWIC® standard
enrollment fee ($128.00) will be reduced
by $2.75. Effective October 1, 2016, TSA
will collect a $125.25 fee for standard
enrollments. The FBI fee is one segment
of the TWIC® Program’s overall fee. The
TWIC® fee contains segments for
enrollment, full/reduced card
production/security threat assessment,
and the FBI fee. Reduced rate and
replacement TWIC® card enrollment
fees will not change.
The current estimated annualized
hour burden is 736,670 hours and the

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

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.

(formerly WebBoards) is an informationsharing environment designed to serve
stakeholders in the transportation
security community and is used to
disseminate mission-critical
information. It provides stakeholders
with an online portal which allows
authorized users to obtain, post, and
exchange information, access common
resources, and communicate with
similarly situated individuals. This
system also integrates other securityrelated information and
communications at the sensitive
security information (SSI) level. It is
located in a secure online environment
and is accessible from the Homeland
Security Information Network (HSIN)
and TSA (for TSA staff only). Accessing
and using TSA infoBoards is completely
voluntary; TSA does not require
participation.
TSA will collect two types of
information through TSA infoBoards:
(1) User registration information and (2)
user’s choice of ‘‘communities.’’ TSA
infoBoards users are not required to
provide all information requested–
however, if users choose to withhold
information, they will not receive the
benefits of TSA infoBoards associated
with that information collection.
1. User registration information. TSA
will collect registration information to
ensure only those meeting the
requirements for access to SSI
information under TSA’s regulations (49
CFR part 1520) are given access to the
TSA infoBoards. Such registration
information will include the user’s
name, professional contact information,
agency/company, job title, employer,
airport (optional), citizenship,
regulatory category, and employment
verification contact information.
2. User’s Choice of TSA infoBoards
Communities. TSA will collect
information on the user’s choice of TSA
infoBoards community(ies). To meet the
requirements for access to SSI under
TSA’s regulations, users are asked to
submit their desired requestor type and
boards so that TSA may assess the user’s
qualifications and needs before granting
access.

prepare for, mitigate against, respond to,
and recover from transportation security
incidents. An inability to collect this
information will limit TSA’s ability to
enable modal operators to respond to,
and quickly recover after, a
transportation security incident.
Insufficient awareness, prevention,
response, and recovery to a
transportation security incident will
result in increased vulnerability of the
U.S. transportation network.
Number of Respondents: 6,000 users.3
