1Additional information regarding this audit and 

the GAO’s recommendations are available on the 

GAO’s website using the audit number (GAO–20– 

0404) or at the following link: https://www.gao.gov/ 

products/gao-20-404. 

2The annual burden has decreased since the 

publication of the 60-day notice, which reported 

1,708 annual hour burden (MT/PR BASE 1,196 

hours annually + HWY BASE 512 hours annually). 

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 http://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: Baseline Assessment for 

Security Enhancement (BASE) Program. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

OMB Control Number: 1652–0062. 

Form(s): BASE electronic checklist. 

Affected Public: Highway 

transportation asset owners and 

operators; and, public transportation 

agencies, including mass transit bus, rail 

transit, and less common types of 

service (such as cable cars, inclined 

planes, funiculars, and automated 

guideway systems). 

Abstract: TSA’s BASE program works 

with existing (and new) transportation 

asset and system owner/operators by 

asking established questions to identify 

their current security posture, identify 

security gaps, and encourage 

implementation of countermeasures 

applicable to the specific surface mode 

of transportation. Data and results 

collected through the BASE program 

will inform TSA’s policy and program 

initiatives and allow TSA to provide 

focused resources and tools to enhance 

the overall security posture within these 

sectors of the surface transportation 

community. 

The Government Accountability 

Office, audit GAO–20–404, ‘‘Passenger 

Rail Security: TSA Engages with 

Stakeholders but Could Better Identify 

and Share Standards and Key Practices 

(April 2020),’’ recommended TSA 

update the BASE cybersecurity 

questions to ensure they reflect key 

practices.1 TSA concurred with this 

recommendation and is requesting to 

revise the collection to include 

questions that cover all five core 

functions of the National Institute of 

Standards and Technology 

cybersecurity framework. All core 

functions and a majority of the 

subcategories are integrated with 

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure 

Security Agency guidelines and 

established industry best practices in 

the newly-developed cybersecurity 

questions and cybersecurity annex 

questions, strengthening the 

cybersecurity health for the 

transportation sector. 

Number of Respondents: 182.

Information Collection Requirement 

Title: Military Severely Injured Joint 

Support Operations Center (MSIJSOC) 

and Travel Protocol Office (TPO) 

Programs. 

Type of Request: Extension. 

OMB Control Number: 1652–0069. 

Form(s): TSA Form 412, Travel 

Support Request and TSA Form 417 

Screening Assistance Notification. 

Affected Public: Wounded warriors, 

severely injured military personnel, 

foreign dignitaries, accredited 

Ambassadors to the United States, and 

other travelers requiring an escort 

through the airport security screening 

process. 

Abstract: The Helping Heroes Fly Act 

directs TSA to develop and implement 

a process to support and facilitate the 

ease of travel and, to the extent possible, 

provide expedited passenger screening 

services for severely injured or disabled 

members of the Armed Forces and 

severely injured or disabled veterans 

through passenger screening. See sec. 2 

of the Helping Heroes Fly Act, Public 

Law 113–27 (127 Stat. 503; Aug. 9, 

2013) as amended and codified at 49 

U.S.C. 44927. Consistent with these 

requirements, TSA established the 

MSIJSOC program to support and 

facilitate the movement of wounded 

warriors, severely injured military 

personnel, and severely injured or 

disabled veterans. Under the Aviation 

and Transportation Security Act 

(ATSA), TSA is responsible for security 

in all modes of transportation including 

screening operations for passenger air 

transportation and for carrying out such 

other duties relating to the 

transportation security as it considers 

appropriate. See sec. 101(a) of the 

ATSA, Public Law 107–71 (115 Stat. 

597; Nov. 19, 2001) as codified at 49 

U.S.C. 114. Under ATSA, TSA 

established the Travel Protocol Office 

(TPO) Programs to assist foreign 

dignitaries, accredited Ambassadors to 

the United States, and other travelers 

requiring an escort through the airport 

security screening process. 

To implement the MSIJSCO and TPO 

programs, TSA must collect the 

passenger’s name, flight itinerary 

(scheduled flight departure and arrival 

information), and contact information to 

successfully facilitate movements 

through the screening process at U.S. 

airports and its territories. TSA shares 

this information with airports on the 

passenger’s itinerary to coordinate 

efforts, to synchronize seamless 

transitions with the affected parties, and 

protect security operations. 

Number of Respondents: 8,456. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An 

estimated 705 hours annually.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

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

3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we 

provide the general public and other 

Federal agencies with an opportunity to 

comment on new, proposed, revised, 

and continuing collections of 

information. This helps us assess the 

impact of our information collection 

requirements and minimize the public’s 

reporting burden. It also helps the 

public understand our information 

collection requirements and provide the 

requested data in the desired format. 

On May 14, 2020, we published in the 

Federal Register (85 FR 28972) a notice 

of our intent to request that OMB 

approve this information collection. In 

that notice, we solicited comments for 

60 days, ending on July 13, 2020. We 

received the following comments in 

response to that notice: 

Comment 1: Email comment received 

on May 15, 2020, from Jean Public; 

however, her comment did not address 

the information collection requirements. 

Agency Response to Comment 1: No 

response required. 

Comment 2: Email comment received 

on July 9, 2020, from Holly Huchko, 

Endangered Species Act Program 

Specialist/Sport Fish Restoration 

Coordinator, on behalf of the Oregon 

Department of Fish and Wildlife 

(ODFW): 

Ms. Huchko emphasized that the 

national data generated by the FHWAR 

are invaluable for assessing engagement 

in and spending on outdoor recreation 

in Oregon. She stated that the FHWAR 

survey is also essential to USFWS 

WSFR program and ODFW, since 

coastal States must obligate Sport Fish 

Restoration program grant funds so that 

the ratio is equal to the resident marine 

and freshwater anglers (50 CFR 80.65– 

66). Ms. Huchko shared the 

understanding that for the 2022 and 

future FHWAR surveys, States will need 

to pay for State level data if desired, 

though USFWS will continue to provide 

the freshwater/saltwater percent of 

resident anglers in coastal States at no 

cost. This information may be used for 

determining the Sport Fish Restoration 

saltwater/freshwater split. Ms. Huchko’s 

understanding is accurate. Finally, Ms. 

Huchko urged that the FHWAR 

continue to be administered in both 

mail and digital (web) modes, so as to 

reduce barriers to participation. 

Agency Response to Comment 2: The 

methodology for the 2022 FHWAR, 

described above, is responsive to the 

needs identified in Ms. Huchko’s 

comments. Oregon and other coastal 

States will continue to receive data on 

the number of freshwater/saltwater
