Short Statement: There are no program changes. However, to more precisely capture burden and costs, TSA has estimated an hour burden associated with the applicant’s travel to and from the healthcare provider’s office, as well as time spent at the appointment. TSA has also estimated out-of-pocket travel costs that applicants will incur as a result of their travel to and from the appointment. The annual cost to respondents has been updated to incorporate the most recent general public and healthcare provider wage data. TSA has also updated its estimates of the federal cost burden to more accurately reflect the anticipated number of forms requiring review, raising the annual total from 200 to 300.
