SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TSA published a Federal Register notice, 
with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments, for the following 
collection of information on September 17, 2024, 89 FR 76125. TSA did 
not receive any comments on the notice.

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. The ICR documentation will be 
available at https://www.reginfo.gov upon its submission to OMB. 
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: Exercise Information System (EXIS[supreg]).
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    OMB Control Number: 1652-0057.
    Forms(s): NA.
    Affected Public: Transportation System Sector.
    Abstract: EXIS[supreg] is a voluntary, online tool developed by TSA 
to support the mission of a program developed and implemented by TSA to 
fulfill requirements of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11

development of the Intermodal Security Training Exercise Program for 
the

Transportation Systems Sector. Within the Intermodal Security Training 
Exercise Program, EXIS[supreg] is an interactive resource for the 
Transportation Systems Sector.

    \1\ See sections 1407 (public transportation), 1516 (railroads), 
and 1553 (over-the-road buses) of Public Law 110-53 (Aug. 3, 2007) 
as codified at 6 U.S.C. 1136(a)), 1166, and 1183, respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    TSA is revising the information collection to reduce the data 
collected during user registration and will no longer collect 
Supervisor or other Sponsor's Name, Employment Verification Contact 
Name and Verification Contact Information. TSA determined the 
information was unnecessary because TSA is implementing new 
capabilities in EXIS[supreg] to verify an individual's identity more 
securely before granting access.
    Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 18,553.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Since the publication of the 60-day notice, TSA has updated 
the number of respondents from 16,713 to 18,553 and the burden hours 
from 10,299 to 11,422.4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 11,422.4.

    Dated: December 2, 2024.

TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Office of Information Technology.
