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 

Reinstatement of OMB Control 

Number 1652–0036; Corporate Security 

Review. Under the Aviation and 

Transportation Security Act (ATSA) 1

and delegated authority from the 

Secretary of Homeland Security, TSA 

has broad responsibility and authority 

for ‘‘security in all modes of 

transportation * * * including security 

responsibilities * * * over modes of 

transportation that are exercised by the 

Department of Transportation,’’ 2 TSA 

has additional authorities as well. TSA 

is specifically empowered to develop 

policies, strategies, and plans for 

dealing with threats to transportation,3

ensure the adequacy of security 

measures for the transportation of 

cargo,4 oversee the implementation and 

ensure the adequacy of security 

measures at transportation facilities,5

and carry out other appropriate duties 

relating to transportation security.6

One way TSA carries out its surface 

transportation responsibilities is by 

assessing the current security practices 

in the trucking, school bus, and motor 

coach industries as well as at State 

Departments of Transportation (DOTs), 

by way of its Corporate Security Review 

(CSR) program. The CSR program 

encompasses site visits and interviews, 

and is one piece of a much larger 

domain awareness, prevention, and 

protection program in support of TSA’s 

and the Department of Homeland 

Security’s missions. TSA is seeking to 

reinstate its OMB approval for this 

information collection so that TSA can 

continue to ascertain minimum security 

standards and identify coverage gaps, 

activities that are critical to carrying out 

its transportation security mission. 

The CSR is an ‘‘instructive’’ review 

that provides TSA with an 

understanding of certain surface 

transportation owner/operators’ security 

programs, if they have adopted such 

programs. In carrying out CSRs, 

Transportation Security Specialists from 

TSA’s Highway and Motor Carrier 

Division and Transportation Security 

Inspectors—Surface (TSI–S) conduct 

site visits of trucking, school bus, and 

motor coach companies and State DOTs 

throughout the nation. The TSA 

representatives analyze the owner’s/ 

operator’s security plan, if the owner/ 

operator has adopted one, and 

determine if the mitigation measures 

included in the plan are being properly 

implemented. In addition to examining 

the security plan document, TSA 

reviews one or more assets of the 

owner/operator or State DOT. 

During the site visits, TSA completes 

a CSR form, which asks questions 

concerning eleven topics: Management 

and oversight of the security plan, threat 

assessment, criticality assessment, 

vulnerability assessment, personnel 

security, training, physical security 

countermeasures, en route security, 

information technology security, 

security exercises and drills, and a 

hazardous materials addendum. TSA 

conducts this collection through 

voluntary face-to-face visits at the 

headquarters of the subject surface 

transportation owners/operators. 

Typically, TSA sends one to three 

employees to conduct a two to three 

hour discussion/interview with 

representatives from the owner/ 

operator. TSA plans to collect 

information from businesses of all sizes 

in the course of conducting these 

surface mode CSRs. 

TSA conducts these interviews to 

ascertain information on security 

measures and to identify security gaps. 

The interviews also provide the TSA 

with a method to encourage the surface 

transportation owners/operators affected 

by the CSRs to be diligent in effecting 

and maintaining security-related 

improvements. This program provides 

TSA with real-time information on 

current security practices within the 

trucking, school bus, and motor coach 

modes of the surface transportation 

sector. This information allows TSA to 

adapt programs to the changing threat 

dynamically, while incorporating an 

understanding of the improvements 

owners/operators make in their security 

posture. Without this information, the 

ability of the TSA to perform its security 

mission would be severely hindered.

Additionally, the relationships these 

face-to-face contacts foster are critical to 

the Federal Government’s ability to 

reach out to the surface transportation 

stakeholders affected by the CSRs. The 

relationships foster a sense of trust and 

a willingness to share information with 

the Federal Government. TSA assures 

respondents that the portion of their 

responses that is deemed Sensitive 

Security Information will be handled as 

such, as described in 49 CFR parts 15 

and 1520. 

The annual hour burden for this 

information collection is estimated to be 

1,200 hours. While TSA estimates a 

total of 400 potential respondents, this 

estimate is based on TSA conducting 

400 visits per year, each visit lasting two 

to three hours. The total annual cost 

burden to respondents is $0.00.
