76126 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 17, 2024 / Notices 

1SSI 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. 

(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 using 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

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: 

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).
