As part of its intelligence-driven, risk-based approach to security, TSA is implementing an application/enrollment program to participate in TSA Pre Check. TSA will collect personal information from individuals to conduct name- and fingerprint-based security threat assessments on individuals who apply to participate in the program. TSA also will conduct an optional survey to gather information on the applicants' overall customer satisfaction with the service received at the enrollment center.

TSA adjusted the burden estimates based on enrollment process changes and an expanded enrollment center network, the elimination of two of the voluntary surveys (TSA PreCheck Experience survey and Marketing survey), and estimated fee changes since the previously submitted ICR.
Burden Reduction Initiative:
With the expanded enrollment center network, TSA has significantly reduced the travel burden time to the public per capita. TSA introduced more locations, reducing the travel burden time of applicants from 54 minutes to 40 minutes, a burden reduction savings of 14 minutes (0.233333 hours). TSA estimates there is an annual burden reduction of 868,625 burden reduction hours (3,722,679 responses x 0.233333 hrs.) related to travel time.
