Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0057;
Exercise Information System. EXIS® is
an internet-accessible knowledgemanagement system developed by TSA
to serve its relevant stakeholders (such
as members of the transportation
industry, port authorities, Federal
agencies, and State, local, territorial,
and Tribal governments). EXIS®
integrates security-related training and
exercise components constituting
sensitive security information (SSI).1 It
gives stakeholders valuable security
exercise scenarios and objectives, best
practices and lessons learned, and a
repository of the users’ own historical
exercise data for use in future exercises.
Transportation industry stakeholders
can choose scenarios and objectives
based on their vulnerabilities, mode of
transportation, and the size of their
operation.
TSA will collect five types of
information through EXIS®. The
collection is voluntary. While EXIS®
users are not required to provide all
information requested, if users choose to
withhold information, they may not
receive the benefits of EXIS® associated
with that information collection.
1. User registration information.
Because EXIS® includes SSI
information, TSA must collect
information upon registration to ensure
only those members of the
transportation community with a
relevant interest in conducting security
training exercises, and with an
appropriate level of need to access
security training information, are
provided access to EXIS®.
TSA collects: The User’s Name,
Agency/Organization Name and Type,
Job Title, Supervisor or other Sponsor’s
Name, Professional Phone Number,
Professional Email Address,
Employment Verification Contact Name,
Employment Verification Contact
Information, and the Reason for Needing
an EXIS® account. In addition, the
following optional registration
information can be added by the user:
1 SSI is information which, if publicly released,
would be detrimental to transportation security,
and is defined at 49 U.S.C. 114(r) and 49 CFR part
1520.

Professional (business), Country, City,
State, Zip Code, Mobile Phone Number,
Alternate Email, and Preferred
Transportation Sector.
2. Desired nature and scope of the
exercise. TSA collects this information
to generate an EXIS® training exercise
appropriate for the particular user.
Users are asked to submit their desired
transportation mode, exercise
properties, objectives, scenario events,
and participating agencies/attendees.
3. Corrective actions/lessons learned/
best practices. TSA collects this
information to document and share the
users’ ideas and methods for improving
transportation security with other
transportation stakeholders in the wider
EXIS® user base. The TSA Intermodal
Security Training and Exercise Program
office may send lessons learned and best
practices to subject matter experts
within TSA for review. Once the
information is reviewed, any company
or user identifying information is
removed and the content is published to
the site for all users to access.
4. Evaluation feedback. TSA collects
this information for the purpose of
evaluating the usefulness of EXIS® in
facilitating security training exercises
for the users. TSA can then modify
EXIS® to better suit its users’ needs.
5. After-Action Reports (AARs). EXIS®
automatically summarizes information
from items (2) and (3) mentioned above
in order to create formal AARs for users.
These AARs include an exercise
overview, goals and objectives, scenario
event synopsis, analysis of critical
issues, exercise design characteristics,
conclusions, and the executive
summary. The AAR is the output of the
exercise process. Stakeholders use the
report to identify strengths or areas in
which they can assign resources to
mitigate risk and enhance the security
posture within their organization.
Based on industry population
estimates and growth rates, and interest
generated amongst the transportation
modes during the years following
EXIS’s® release to the public, TSA
estimates that the respondents will be
approximately 16,713 full access and
limited access users. TSA estimates a
proportion of these respondents will
participate; 2,006.7 full access users and
74.1 limited access users will spend
approximately 3.5 hours per EXIS® user
inputting the information described
above, totaling, 7,282.7 burden hours.
TSA estimates 12,065 limited access
users will also spend approximately
0.25 hours completing a survey, totaling
3,016.3 burden hours. Given this
information, the annual hourly burden
for EXIS’s® collection of information is
10,299 hours (7,282.7 + 3,016.3).
