Short Statement: TSA revised its burden estimates from the previous Information Collection Request submission in 2013. Data used in this submission are based on increased actual costs evaluated by the TWIC® program resulting in more refined estimates. TSA removed hour and cost burden related to the previously provided three-year extended TWIC® option (EED TWIC®) as described above (see section 12 of the Supporting Statement). In addition, the TWIC® program updated its user fee structure in line with regulatory requirements. Since the TWIC® program’s previous submission in 2013, TSA and its service provider implemented several process improvements to enhance the pre-enrollment and enrollment. TSA expanded the collection and use of biographic and biometric information for other enrollment options, including the expansion of enrollment options for additional comparability or eligibility determinations for other programs.
