facilities using a risk-based approach.
Congress initially authorized the CFATS
Program under Section 550 of the
Department of Homeland Security
Appropriations Act of 2007, Public Law
109–295 (2006) and reauthorized it
under the Protecting and Securing
Chemical Facilities from Terrorist
Attacks Act of 2014, as amended.4 The
Department implemented the CFATS
Program through rulemaking and issued
an Interim Final Rule (IFR) on April 9,
2007 and a final rule on November 20,
2007. See 72 FR 17688 and 72 FR 65396.

information collection proposed a
significantly revised version of the TopScreen instrument and other
instruments in this package (‘‘CSAT
2.0’’).7 CISA began implementing CSAT
2.0 in October 2016 and concluded this
effort in September 2018. As part of the
implementation, the Department
required all chemical facilities of
interest that had chemical holdings at or
above the screening threshold quantities
on Appendix A of the CFATS regulation
to complete the Top-Screen, even if the
facility had previously completed a
Top-Screen and been determined not to
be high-risk. The Top-Screen
submissions were then analyzed by the
Department using an enhanced
methodology designed to more
accurately and appropriately tier highrisk chemical facilities. After
completing this process, certain
chemical facilities received a new or
revised tier and were required to submit
a new or revised Security Vulnerability
Assessment (SVA) and Site Security
Plan (SSP).
Because the CSAT 2.0
implementation was a one-time
requirement for all chemical facilities of
interest, CISA believes using the most
recent data on the number of
respondents collected between FY17
and FY18 to estimate future burden
requirements is generally inappropriate.
In most cases, relying on this data
would result in substantial over
estimation of the burden for the
instruments in this collection. However,
in some cases CISA believes using the
most recent data available accurately
reflects the future burden for specific
instruments. CISA indicates in this
notice when it is using the data
collected during the implementation of
CSAT 2.0 for future burden estimates
and when it is relying on other
assumptions.
Below, CISA estimates the burden to
respondents for the: (1) Top-Screen, (2)
Security Vulnerability Assessment
(SVA) and ASP submitted in lieu of an
SVA, (3) SSP and ASP submitted in lieu
of an SSP, (4) CFATS Help Desk, (5)
CSAT User Registration, and (6)
Identification of Facilities and Assets at
Risk.8

comments to revise Information Collection 1670–
0007 was published in the Federal Register on
November 18, 2015 at 80 FR 72086 and may be
viewed at https://www.federalregister.gov/d/201529457.
8 Throughout this analysis, CISA presents
rounded hourly time burden estimates and hourly
compensation rates to assist in reproducing the
results. However, CISA’s actual calculations use
unrounded figures; consequently, some reproduced
results may not exactly match the reported results.

1. CISA’s Methodology in Estimating
the Burden for the Top-Screen
Number of Respondents
The current information collection
estimated that 1,000 first-time
respondents will submit a Top-Screen
annually. For this ICR, CISA estimates
the annual number of respondents will
be 2,332, which is based on the average
number of Top-Screen submissions
prior to the implementation of CSAT 2.0
(i.e., between FY14 and FY16). CISA
believes using the timeframe
immediately prior to the
implementation of CSAT 2.0 is more
representative of the anticipated number
of respondents because the
implementation of CSAT 2.0
temporarily resulted in an aboveaverage number of Top-Screens during
FY17 and FY18. The estimate of 2,332
is the sum of the average number of 759
first-time Top-Screen submissions and
the average number of 1,573 Top-Screen
resubmissions per year.
In the current information collection,
CISA accounted for resubmissions using
a different methodology than described
above.9 CISA is now counting each
resubmission as a separate respondent
and therefore, the average number of
responses per respondent decreased
from 1.5 to 1. CISA determined that this
methodology would result in a more
accurate annual burden because the
time per respondent for a first time
submission is different than for a
resubmission.
Estimated Time per Respondent
In the current information collection,
the estimated time per respondent to
prepare and submit a Top-Screen is 6
hours.10 In October 2016, CISA
implemented CSAT 2.0, which reduced
the amount of time a respondent needs
to be logged into CSAT to complete and
submit a Top-Screen.
Using the data collected since the
implementation of CSAT 2.0 (i.e.,
between FY17 and FY19), CISA
determined that on average respondents
who submitted initial Top-Screens were
logged into the Top-Screen application
for 0.50 hours (30 minutes) and the
median duration respondents were
logged in for resubmitted Top-Screens
was 0.08 hours (5 minutes). CISA
calculated the average amount of time
9 In the current information collection, CISA
estimated that the average number of Top-Screens
submissions was 1.5. This would imply that on
average, 50 percent of respondents would submit
two Top Screens per year, with all others
submitting once.
10 6 hours is composed of 1.2 hours logged into
CSAT and 4 hours for every hour logged into CSAT
(i.e., 6 hours = [1.2 hours logged into CSAT + (1.2
hours × 4) for preparation]).

respondents were logged into the TopScreen application weighted by the
number of respondents that submitted
first-time Top-Screens and Top-Screen
resubmissions between FY14 and FY16,
which was 0.22 hours (13 minutes) [ =
(759 first-time submissions × 0.50 hours
+ 1,573 resubmissions × 0.08 hours) ÷
2,332 total submissions].
For this ICR, CISA maintains its
assumption, based on previous public
comments on this information
collection, that for every hour a
respondent is logged into the TopScreen application, the respondent
spends an average of 4 hours in
preparation.11 Therefore, CISA’s
estimated time per respondent to submit
a Top-Screen is 1.09 hours [ = 0.22
hours logged into CSAT + (0.22 hours ×
4) for preparation].
CISA no longer accounts for the
burden related to collecting supporting
documentation for Top-Screens because
this burden is already accounted for
under a separate information
collection.12

Therefore, to estimate the total annual
burden, CISA multiplied the annual
burden of 2,553 hours by the average
hourly compensation rate of SSOs. The
total annual burden cost for the TopScreen is $203,450 [ = 2,553 annual
burden hours × $79.69 per hour].

Annual Burden Hours
The annual burden hours for the TopScreen is 2,553 hours [ = 2,332

Total Recordkeeping Burden

Total Annual Burden Cost
The 2007 CFATS Regulatory
Assessment 13 assumes that Site
Security Officers (SSOs) are responsible

ICR, CISA maintains this assumption.
The SSO’s average hourly
compensation rate of $79.69 is based on
an average hourly wage rate of $54.41 14
with a benefits multiplier of 1.4647.15
11 CISA’s

adoption of the assumption that for
every hour a respondent is logged into the TopScreen application, SVA/ASP application, and SSP/
ASP application, the respondent spends an average
of 4 hours in preparation is described in the 30-day
notice the Department published for this
information collection in March 2013 at 78 FR
16694, which may be viewed at https://

Total Burden Cost (Capital/Startup)
CISA provides access to CSAT free of
charge and CISA assumes that each
respondent already has access to the
internet for basic business needs.
The current information collection
estimated a one-time capital/startup cost
would be incurred by 36,930
respondents required to submit a new
Top-Screen following the
implementation of CSAT 2.0. CISA
proposes to remove this one-time cost
from this ICR because CSAT 2.0 has
been fully implemented. Therefore,
CISA estimates that no capital/startup
costs are associated with this
instrument.

A respondent that has submitted a
Top-Screen may or may not be
determined by CISA to present a high
level of security risk. Only respondents
that present a high level of security risk
are required to keep records mandated
by CFATS.
For respondents that are determined
to present a high level of security risk,
the Top-Screen recordkeeping burden is
accounted for within the recordkeeping
burden estimate for the ‘‘Site Security
Plan (SSP) and Alternative Security
Program (ASP) submitted in lieu of an
SSP’’ instrument discussed later in this
notice in subsection 3, hereafter,
referred to as the ‘‘SSP/ASP.’’ The
recordkeeping burden estimate for the
SSP/ASP instrument accounts for all
records respondents are required to
maintain under CFATS because CISA
assumes that respondents maintain their
Top-Screen records in the same
manners, formats, and locations as they
maintain their other required records.
Therefore, CISA estimates that no
recordkeeping burden is associated with
this instrument.

2. CISA’s Methodology in Estimating
the Burden for the Security
Vulnerability Assessment (SVA) &
Alternative Security Program (ASP)
Submitted In Lieu of an SVA
Number of Respondents
The current information collection
estimated that each year 211
respondents would complete an SVA or
ASP in lieu of an SVA, hereafter,
referred to as an ‘‘SVA/ASP.’’ For this
ICR, CISA estimates that the annual
number of respondents will be 1,683,
which is based on the average number
of SVA/ASP submission prior to the
implementation of CSAT 2.0 (i.e.,
between FY14 and FY16). CISA believes
using the timeframe immediately prior
to the implementation of CSAT 2.0 is
more representative of the anticipated
number of respondents because the
implementation of CSAT 2.0
temporarily resulted in an aboveaverage number of SVAs/ASPs between
FY17 and FY18. This consists of an
average of 215 first-time SVA/ASPs and
1,468 resubmitted SVA/ASPs per year.
In the current information collection,
CISA accounted for resubmissions using
a different methodology than described
above.16 CISA is now counting each
resubmission as a separate respondent
and therefore, the average number of
responses per respondent decreased
from 1.5 to 1. CISA determined that this
methodology would result in a more
accurate annual burden because the
time per respondent for a first time
submission is different than for a
resubmission.17
Estimated Time per Respondent
The current information collection
estimated the time per respondent for
preparing and submitting an SVA/ASP
to be 2.65 hours.18 As mentioned
previously in this notice CISA
implemented CSAT 2.0, which among
other improvements projected a
reduction of 90 percent in the amount
16 In the current information collection, CISA
estimated that the average number of SVA/ASP
submissions was 1.5. This would imply that on
average, 50 percent of respondents would submit
two SVAs/ASPs per year, with all others submitting
once.
17 Historically, CISA estimated the expected
number of SVAs/ASPs using an historical tiering
determination rate that was derived by multiplying:
(a) The estimated number of Top-Screens, by (2) the
percentage of Top-Screens that resulted in a
determination by CISA that an SVA/ASP must be
submitted by a respondent (i.e., a covered chemical
facility).
18 2.65 hours is composed of 10% of 5.3 hours
logged into CSAT and 4 hours for every hour logged
into CSAT (i.e., 2.65 hours = [(0.10 × 5.3 hours
logged into CSAT) + (0.10 × 5.3 hours logged into
CSAT × 4) for preparation]).

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 26 / Thursday, February 7, 2019 / Notices
of time a respondent spends logged into
the CSAT SVA/ASP application.
Using the data collected since the
implementation of CSAT 2.0 (i.e.,
between FY17 and FY19), CISA
determined that the median duration
respondents were logged into the CSAT
SVA/ASP application for an initial
SVA/ASP and an SVA/ASP
resubmission was 0.80 hours (48
minutes) and 0.17 hours (10 minutes),
respectively. CISA calculated the
average amount of time respondents
were logged into the SVA/ASP
application weighted by the number of
respondents that submitted first-time
SVAs/ASPs and SVA/ASP
resubmissions between FY14 and FY16,
which was 0.25 hours (15 minutes) [ =
(215 first-time submissions × 0.80 hours
+ 1,468 resubmissions × 0.17 hours) ÷
1,683 total submissions].
For this ICR, CISA maintains its
assumption, based on previous public
comments on this information
collection, that for every hour a
respondent is logged into the SVA/ASP
application, the respondent spends an
average of 4 hours in preparation.
Therefore, CISA’s estimated time per
respondent to prepare and submit an
SVA/ASP is 1.24 hours [ = 0.25 hours
logged into CSAT + (0.25 hours × 4) for
preparation].
CISA no longer accounts for the
burden related to collecting supporting
documentation for SVAs/ASPs, because
the standard business processes
associated with the SVA/ASP
instrument do not include the collection
of additional documentation.
Annual Burden Hours
The annual burden hours for an SVA/
ASP is 2,083 hours [ = 1,683
respondents × 1 response per
respondent × 1.24 hours per response].
Total Annual Burden Cost
The 2007 CFATS Regulatory
Assessment assumes that SSOs will be
responsible for submitting SVAs/ASPs.
For this ICR, CISA maintains this
assumption. Therefore, to estimate the
total annual burden, CISA multiplied
the annual burden of 2,083 hours by the
average hourly compensation rate of
SSOs. The total annual burden cost for
the SVA/ASP is $166,028 [ = 2,083
annual burden hours × $79.69 per hour].
Total Burden Cost (Capital/Startup)
CISA provides access to CSAT free of
charge and CISA assumes that each
respondent already has access to the
internet for basic business needs.
Therefore, CISA estimates that there are
no capital/startup costs for this
instrument.

Total Recordkeeping Burden
For respondents that are determined
by CISA to present a high level of
security risk, the SVA/ASP
recordkeeping burden is accounted for
within the recordkeeping burden
estimate for the SSP/ASP discussed
below in Subsection 3 of this section.
Therefore, CISA estimates that no
recordkeeping burden is associated with
this instrument.
3. CISA’s Methodology in Estimating
the Burden for the Site Security Plan
(SSP) & Alternative Security Program
(ASP) Submitted In Lieu of an SSP
Number of Respondents
The current information collection
estimated 211 SSP/ASP respondents.
For this ICR, the Department maintains
the assumption that all respondents to
the SVA/ASP will be a respondent of
the SSP/ASP. Therefore, CISA estimates
that the annual number of respondents
will be 1,683, which is based on the
average number of all respondents to the
SVA/ASP. This number breaks down to,
on average, 215 initial submissions and
1,468 resubmissions.
Estimated Time per Respondent
The current information collection
estimated the time per respondent for
preparing and submitting an SSP/ASP
to be 18.75 hours.19 As mentioned
previously in this notice CISA
implemented CSAT 2.0, which among
other improvements projected a
reduction of 70 percent in the amount
of time a respondent spends logged into
the CSAT SSP/ASP application. Using
the data collected since the
implementation of CSAT 2.0 (i.e.,
between FY17 and FY19), CISA
determined that the median duration
respondents were logged into the SSP/
ASP application for initial and
resubmitted SSPs/ASPs was 2.10 hours
(126 minutes) and 0.32 hours (19
minutes), respectively. CISA calculated
the average amount of time respondents
were logged into the SSP/ASP
application weighted by the number of
respondents that submitted first-time
SSPs/ASPs and SSP/ASP resubmissions
between FY14 and FY16, which was
0.54 hours (33 minutes) [ = (215 firsttime submissions × 2.10 hours + 1,468
resubmissions × 0.32 hours) ÷ 1,683
total submissions].
For this ICR, CISA maintains its
assumption, based on previous public
comments on this information
19 18.75 hours is composed of 30% of 12.5 hours
logged into CSAT and 4 hours for every hour logged
into CSAT (i.e., 18.75 hours = [(0.30 × 12.5 hours
logged into CSAT) + (0.30 × 12.5 hours logged into
CSAT × 4) for preparation]).

collection, that for every hour a
respondent is logged into the SSP/ASP
application, the respondent spends an
average of 4 hours in preparation.
Therefore, CISA’s estimated time per
respondent to prepare and submit an
SSP/ASP is 2.72 hours [ = 0.54 hours
logged into CSAT + (0.54 hours × 4) for
preparation].
CISA no longer accounts for the
burden related to collecting supporting
documentation for SSPs/ASPs, because
the standard business processes
associated with the SSP/ASP instrument
do not include the collection of
additional documentation.
Annual Burden Hours
The annual burden hours for SSPs/
ASPs is 4,582 hours [ = 1,683
respondents × 1 response per
respondent × 2.72 hours per response].
Total Annual Burden Cost
The 2007 CFATS Regulatory
Assessment assumes that SSOs will be
responsible for submitting SSPs/ASPs.
For this ICR, CISA maintains this
assumption. Therefore, to estimate the
total annual burden, CISA multiplied
the annual burden of 4,582 hours by the
average hourly compensation rate of
SSOs. The total annual burden cost for
the SSPs/ASPs is $365,141 [ = 4,582
annual burden hours × $79.69 per hour].
Total Burden Cost (Capital/Startup)
CISA provides access to CSAT free of
charge and CISA assumes that each
respondent already has access to the
internet for basic business needs.
Therefore, CISA estimates that there are
no capital/startup costs.
Total Recordkeeping Burden
The current information collection
estimated a recordkeeping burden of
approximately $440,000. CISA
maintained the methodology and
assumptions described in the current
information collection, but increased
the current estimate to account for: (1)
The increase in the number of initial
SSP/ASP respondents from 211 to 215,
(2) updating the hourly compensation
rates to 2017 dollars, and (3) inflating
the capital/startup costs by an inflation
factor of 1.03.20 Therefore, CISA’s
20 CISA inflated the capital/startup costs from the
current information collection to 2017 dollars using
an inflation factor of 1.03. The inflation factor was
calculated by dividing the Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) implicit price deflator index from 2017
(103.02) by the index from 2015 (100). (Federal
Reserve Economic Data. GDP Implicit Price Deflator
in United States, Index 2015=100, Annual, Not
Seasonally Adjusted. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/

estimated recordkeeping burden will be
$516,825.
For this ICR, CISA maintains its
approach of accounting for the entire
recordkeeping burden imposed on
covered chemical facilities under
CFATS within the SSP/ASP instrument,
because: (1) Only covered chemical
facilities are required to maintain
records; (2) no changes to the
recordkeeping requirements have
occurred since the approval of the
current information collection; and (3)
CISA’s historical assumption that
respondents maintain any other
required records in the same manners,
formats, and locations as they maintain
their SSP/ASP records.
4. CISA’S Methodology in Estimating
the Burden for the CFATS Help Desk
Number of Respondents
The current information collection
estimated that CISA receives 15,000
requests annually for CFATS Help Desk
support (i.e., 15,000 respondents via
phone calls, emails, and web-based help
request forms). CISA has determined
that maintaining the current estimate
would be more accurate than relying on
the number of requests for CFATS Help
Desk support received between FY17
and FY18 because the implementation
of CSAT 2.0 temporarily resulted in an
above-average number of CFATS Help
Desk requests.21 CISA evaluated
historical data to determine if the
estimated number of CFATS Help Desk
requests (i.e., 15,000) was still
appropriate. Between FY14 and FY16,
the average annual number of CFATS
Help Desk requests was 14,881.
Therefore, CISA believes that the
existing estimate of 15,000 respondents
continues to be a reasonable estimate of
future CFATS Help Desk requests.
Estimated Time per Respondent
CISA evaluated historical data to
determine if the estimated time per
respondent of 0.17 hours (10 minutes)
was still appropriate. Since the
implementation of CSAT 2.0 (i.e.,
between FY17 and FY18) the average
duration for a CFATS Help Desk call
was 6 minutes and 48 seconds, which
represented a slight decrease in the
actual duration reported by CISA in
previous years. CISA does not have any
information on the average amount of
time it took respondents to type and
send emails to the CFATS Help Desk.
21 On average, between FY17 and FY19, there
were 31,212 calls and emails per year (i.e., 22,369
calls and 8,843 emails per year) to the CFATS
Helpdesk, most of which were in response to CSAT
2.0 implementation.

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:23 Feb 06, 2019

Jkt 247001

Therefore, CISA has maintained the
estimated time per respondent of 0.17
hours (10 minutes).
Annual Burden Hours
The average annual burden hours for
the CFATS Help Desk will be 2,500
hours [ = 15,000 respondents × 0.17
hours per respondent].
Total Annual Burden Cost
The 2007 CFATS Regulatory
Assessment assumes that SSOs will be
responsible for contacting the CFATS
Help Desk. For this ICR, CISA maintains
this assumption. Therefore, to estimate
the total annual burden, CISA
multiplied the annual burden of 2,500
hours by the average hourly
compensation rate of SSOs. The total
annual burden for the CFATS Help Desk
is $199,233 [ = 2,500 annual burden
hours × $79.69 per hour].
Total Burden Cost (Capital/Startup)
Contacting the CFATS Help Desk is
free and CISA assumes that each
respondent already has a phone or
access to the internet for basic business
needs. Therefore, CISA estimates that
there are no capital/startup costs.
Total Recordkeeping Burden
There is no recordkeeping burden for
this instrument.
5. CISA’S Methodology in Estimating
the Burden for the CSAT User
Registration
Number of Respondents
The current information collection
estimated 1,000 respondents would
complete the user registration process
annually. For this ICR, CISA maintains
this estimate.
Historically, CISA’s estimate in the
current information collection was
primarily based on the number of
individuals expected to register as a
CSAT Authorizer, Submitter, and/or
Preparer. However, the scope of the
CSAT User Registration instrument in
the current information collection was
intended to allow for the creation of
additional CSAT user roles such as the
Administrator and Personnel Surety
(PS) Submitter user roles. Because the
estimate has always been very
conservative, for example, between
FY14 and FY16 the average annual
number of individuals registered was
604. Thus CISA believes that
maintaining the current estimate of
1,000 respondents annually is a
reasonable estimate that reflects the user
registration activity for all types of
CSAT users.

Estimated Time per Respondent
In the current information collection,
the estimated time per respondent is 2
hours. In this ICR, CISA increases the
estimated time per respondent to 2.5
hours. The revised estimate is based on
two factors: (1) Following the
implementation of CSAT 2.0 (i.e.,
between FY16 and FY18), the actual
time needed to complete the CSAT User
Registration process was approximately
0.5 hours (30 minutes); and (2) CISA
expects that CSAT Authorizers need
additional time to manage the CSAT
user accounts for which they are
responsible.
The ongoing management of the
CSAT user accounts includes activities
such as, but not limited to: (1) Assigning
Submitters and Preparers to facilities;
(2) updating the facilities with which a
Submitter or Preparer is associated as
his or her duties change; (3) creating
groups 22 to support the CFATS
Personnel Surety (PS) Program; (4)
assigning PS Submitters to groups; and
(5) updating the PS Submitters’ access
to groups as their duties change.
Furthermore, in response to comments
submitted to CISA for information
collection (OMB Control No. 1670–
0029),23 CISA clarified that certain
burdens were accounted for under this
information collection (i.e., OMB
Control No. 1670–0007).24
For this ICR, CISA is applying the
assumption based on previous public
comments on this information
collection (i.e., OMB Control No. 1670–
0007) that for every hour a respondent
is logged into the CSAT application, the
respondent spends an average of 4 hours
in preparation (e.g., coordinating with
CFATS-facility stakeholders, including
Human Resources, Procurement, or
Contract Administration to explain the
PS Program requirements and determine
how best to gather the data from
different populations). Therefore,
CISA’s estimated time per respondent is
22 ‘‘Groups’’ is a technical term used by CISA to
describe how a covered chemical facility may
manage the access to records about affected
individuals in the CSAT Personnel Surety
application. CISA describes the term ‘‘groups’’ and
provides additional information about how to create
and manage groups in section 9.5 of the CSAT User
Manual, which may be viewed at https://
www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/csatportal-user-manual-508-2.pdf.
23 1670–0029 was approved by OMB in August
2015. The approved information collection may be
viewed at https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=201312-1670-001.
24 CISA’s summary of the comments and its
response to those comments are contained within
the 30-day notice for the CFATS Personnel Surety
Program at 83 FR 28249. The 30-day notice was
published in the Federal Register on July 18, 2018
at 83 FR 28244 and may be viewed at https://

2.5 hours [ = 0.50 hours logged into
CSAT + (0.50 hours × 4) for
preparation].
Annual Burden Hours
The annual burden estimate for CSAT
User Registration is 2,500 hours [ =
1,000 respondents × 1 response per
respondent × 2.5 hours per respondent].
Total Annual Burden Cost
The 2007 CFATS Regulatory
Assessment assumes that SSOs will be
responsible for CSAT User Registration.
For this ICR, CISA maintains this
assumption. Therefore, to estimate the
total annual burden, CISA multiplied
the annual burden of 2,500 hours by the
average hourly compensation rate of
SSOs. The total annual burden for
CFATS User Registration is $199,233 [
= 2,500 annual burden hours × $79.69
per hour].
Total Burden Cost (Capital/Startup)
The current information collection
estimated that a one-time capital cost
would be incurred by 24,630
respondents required to submit a CSAT
User Registration as part of the CSAT
2.0 implementation. These capital costs
were one-time costs and have been
removed from this information
collection.
CISA provides access to CSAT free of
charge and CISA assumes that each
respondent already has access to the
internet for basic business needs.
Therefore, for this ICR CISA estimates
that there are no capital/startup costs for
this instrument.
Total Recordkeeping Burden
There is no recordkeeping burden for
this instrument.
6. CISA’S Methodology in Estimating
the Burden for Identification of
Additional Facilities and Assets at Risk
Number of Respondents
The current information collection
estimated that each year 211
respondents would respond to this
instrument. For this ICR, CISA estimates
that the annual number of respondents
will be 845, because CISA only requests
this information from covered chemical
facilities that undergo compliance
inspections and ship chemicals of
interest (COI). CISA completes
approximately 1,920 compliance
inspections per year. Of these,
approximately 44 percent of the covered
chemical facilities inspected ship COI.
Therefore, CISA estimates 845
respondents for this instrument [ =
1,920 facilities inspected × 44 percent of
facilities ship COI].

Estimated Time per Respondent
In the current information collection,
the estimated time per respondent is
0.17 hours (10 minutes). In this ICR,
CISA maintains this estimate.
Annual Burden Hours
The annual burden estimate is 140.83
hours [ = 845 respondents × 1 response
per respondent × 0.17 hours per
respondent].
Total Annual Burden Cost
CISA assumes that SSOs will be
responsible for providing this
information. Therefore, to estimate the
total annual burden, CISA multiplied
the annual burden of 140.83 hours by
the average hourly compensation rate of
SSOs. The total annual burden for the
Identification of Additional Facilities
and Assets at Risk is $11,223 [ = 140.83
annual burden hours × $79.69 per hour].
Total Burden Cost (Capital/Startup)
In the current information collection,
CISA estimated a one-time capital cost
would be incurred by 3,000 respondents
as a result of the CSAT 2.0
implementation. These capital costs
were one-time costs for respondents and
therefore have been removed from this
information collection.
Total Recordkeeping Burden
There is no recordkeeping burden for
this instrument.
Public Participation
OMB is particularly interested in
comments that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information 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 of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
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 through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques, or
other forms of information technology
(e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses).
