    Type of Request: Extension of a collection.
    OMB Control Number: 1652-0065.
    Form(s): TSA Forms 1427 and 1430.
    Affected Public: Individuals with transportation security

Transportation Security Act, and delegated authority from the Secretary 
of Homeland Security, for ``security in all modes of transportation . . 
. including security responsibilities . . . over modes of 
transportation that are exercised by the Department of 
Transportation.'' \1\ TSA infoBoards are designed to serve stakeholders 
in the transportation security community and are used to disseminate 
mission-critical information. The availability of infoBoards provides 
an information sharing forum supporting coordination and collaboration 
with TSA and TSA's stakeholders--including industry, Federal agencies, 
and State and Local governments--and are located in a secure online 
environment, the Homeland Security Information Network. Accessing and 
using TSA infoBoards is completely voluntary; TSA does not require 
participation.

codified at 49 U.S.C. 114 (d). The TSA Assistant Secretary's current 
authorities under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act have 
been delegated to him by the Secretary of Homeland Security. Section 
403(2) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Pub. L. 107-296 (116 
Stat. 2315, Nov. 25, 2002), transferred all functions of TSA,
