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.
Information Collection Requirement
Title: Transportation Worker
Identification Credential (TWIC®)
Program.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0047.
Forms(s): TWIC® Disclosure and
Certification Form, TWIC® PreEnrollment Application, TWIC®
Enrollment Application, TWIC® Card
Replacement Request, and TWIC®
Customer Satisfaction Survey.
Affected Public: Individuals seeking
or requiring unescorted access to secure
areas within the TSA’s national and
transportation security mission or
facilities and vessels regulated by the
Maritime Transportation Security Act
(MTSA) of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–295; Nov.
25, 2002; sec. 102), other authorized
individuals in the field of
transportation, and all mariners holding
U.S. Coast Guard-issued credentials or
qualification documents.
Abstract: The data collected will be
used for processing TWIC® enrollments
as well as to allow expanded enrollment
options for additional comparability or
eligibility determinations for other
programs. Individuals in the field of
transportation who are authorized to
apply for a TWIC® for use as part of
other government programs, such as the
Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism
(CFATS) program, may apply for a

TWIC® and undergo the associated
security threat assessment. The data
used to conduct a comprehensive
security threat assessment includes: (1)
A criminal history records check; (2) a
check of intelligence databases; and (3)
an immigration status check. TSA may
also use the data to determine a TWIC®
holder’s eligibility to participate in
TSA’s expedited screening program for
air travel, TSA Pre✓®, without requiring
an additional background check.
At the enrollment center, applicants
verify their biographic information and
provide identity documentation,
biometric information, and proof of
immigration status (if required). This
information allows TSA to complete a
security threat assessment. During
enrollment, TSA collects from
applicants a $125.25 fee for standard
enrollment. (Effective October 1, 2016,
TSA reduced the standard enrollment
fee by $2.75 in alignment to the FBI’s
fee update for fingerprint-based criminal
history records checks.) If TSA
determines that the applicant is eligible
to receive a TWIC®, TSA issues and
sends an activated TWIC® card to the
address provided by the applicant or
notifies the applicant that their TWIC®
is ready for pick up and activation at an
enrollment center. Once activated, this
credential will be used for facility and
vessel access control requirements to
include card authentication, card
validation, and identity verification. In
the event of a lost, damaged or stolen
credential, the cardholder may request a
replacement card from an enrollment
center for a $60.00 fee. The one-time
temporary Extended Expiration Date
(EED) TWIC® renewal option and
collection requirement is discontinued.
TSA also conducts a survey to capture
applicant and cardholder overall
satisfaction with the enrollment and
activation process. This optional
customer satisfaction survey is provided
at the end of enrollment and at the end
of the activation processes.
Number of New TWIC® Enrollments:
An estimated 519,710 annually.
Total Annual Hour Burden: An
estimated 738,748 annually including
enrollment, issuance, and appeal/waiver
burden hours.
Enrollment Burden Hours: An
estimated 592,574 annually.
Card Issuance Burden Hours: An
estimated 121,619 annually.
Waiver/Appeal Burden Hours: An
estimated 24,556 hours annually.
Number of Survey Respondents: An
estimated 222,643 responses annually
for TWIC® enrollment survey (181,898)
and card activation/issuance survey
(40,745).
