SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, (44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq.), an agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information, 

unless it displays a valid OMB control 

number. Therefore, in preparation for 

OMB review and approval of the 

following information collection, TSA is 

soliciting comments to— 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

information requirement is necessary for 

the proper performance of the functions 

of the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden; 

(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 

Title: Corporate Security Review 

(CSR). 

Type of Request: Renewal of one 

current public collection. 

OMB Control Number: 1652–0036. 

Form(s): Corporate Security Review 

Form. 

Affected Public: Surface 

transportation system owners and 

operators. 

Abstract: The Aviation and 

Transportation Security Act of 2001 

(ATSA) (Pub. L. 107–71) requires TSA 

to oversee the security of the nation’s 

surface transportation system. 

Specifically, ATSA grants TSA 

authority to execute its responsibilities 

for: 

• Enhancing security in all modes of 

transportation; 

• Assessing intelligence and other 

information in order to identify threats 

to transportation security; and 

• Coordinating countermeasures with 

other Federal agencies to address such 

threats, including the authority to 

receive, assess, and distribute 

intelligence information related to 

transportation security (49 U.S.C. 

114(d), (f)(1)–(5), (h)(1)–(4)). 

To support these requirements, TSA 

assesses the current security practices in 

the surface transportation sector by way 

of site visits and interviews through its 

Corporate Security Review (CSR) 

program, one piece of a much larger 

domain awareness, prevention, and 

protection program in support of TSA’s 

and Department of Homeland Security’s 

missions. TSA is seeking to renew its 

OMB approval for this information 

collection so that TSA can continue to 

ascertain information security measures 

and identify gaps. These activities are 

critical to its mission of ensuring 

transportation security. 

The CSR is an ‘‘instructive’’ review 

that provides TSA with an 

understanding of surface transportation 

owner/operators’ security programs, if 

they have them. In carrying out CSRs, 

modal experts from TSA conduct site 

visits of highway and pipeline assets 

throughout the nation. The TSA team 

analyzes the owner’s/operator’s security 

plan, if the owner/operator has one, and 

determines if the mitigation measures 

included in the plan are being 

implemented. In addition to reviewing 

the security plan document, TSA 

inspects one or two assets owned by the 

operator. 

At the conclusion of these site visits, 

TSA completes the Corporate Security 

Review form, which asks questions 

concerning eleven topics: Threat 

assessments, vulnerability assessments, 

security planning, credentialing, secure 

areas, infrastructure protection, physical 

security countermeasures, cyber 

security, training, communications, and 

exercises. TSA conducts this collection 

through voluntary face-to-face visits at 

the company/agency headquarters of 

surface transportation owners/operators. 

Typically, TSA sends one to three 

employees to conduct a 4–8 hour 

discussion/interview with 

representatives from the company/ 

agency owner/operator. TSA plans to 

collect information from businesses of 

all sizes. 

The annual hour burden for this 

information collection is estimated to be 

612 hours. While TSA estimates a total 

of 590 potential respondents, this 

estimate is based on TSA conducting 

184 visits per year, each visit lasting 1 

day (3–8 hour work day). The total 

annual cost burden to respondents is 

$30,000. 

Number of Respondents: 590. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An 

estimated 612 hours annually. 

Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on 

February 27, 2009.

Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Office of 

Information Technology.
