Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: TSA revised its burden estimates from the previous Information Collection Request submission based on the latest available data. There was a change in both the number of responses and burden hours associated with this collection. There was an increase in the wage rate of a TSA TSI who conducts inspections of airport operators, and a decrease in the total annual cost burden. There was a decrease in the wage rate of airport employees requiring a CHRC. The hour and cost burdens for STAs has increased because of entering information into the DAC for STA applicants. Although entry into the DAC system is not a new task, TSA did not capture this burden in previous versions of this information collection request (ICR).
