Information Collection Requirement
1652–0028, Flight Crew Self-Defense
Training—Registration and Evaluation.
TSA is seeking to renew the ICR,
currently approved under OMB number
1652–0028, to continue compliance
with a statutory mandate. Under Title
VI, Sec. 603 of Vision 100—Century of
Aviation Reauthorization Act (Pub. L.
108–176, 117 Stat. 2490, 2563, Dec. 12,
2003), TSA is required to develop and
provide a voluntary advanced selfdefense training program for flight and
cabin crew members of air carriers
providing scheduled passenger air
transportation. See 49 U.S.C. 44918(b).
TSA collects limited biographical
information from flight and cabin crew
members to confirm their eligibility to
participate in this training. TSA also
asks participants to complete an
anonymous and voluntary evaluation
form after participation in the training
to assess the quality of the training. TSA
requests this renewal so that TSA may
continue confirming participants’
eligibility and attendance for the
training program, as well as to continue
to assess training quality. TSA confirms
the eligibility of the participant by
contacting the participant’s employer.
Attendance is confirmed by comparing
registration information against a sign-in
sheet provided in the classroom. The
estimated number of annual
respondents is 3,000 and estimated
annual burden is 750 hours. There is no
estimated annual cost burden to
respondents.

information from owners or operators of
the nation’s largest pipelines, and is
necessitated by the requirements set
forth in the Implementing the
Recommendations of the 9/11
Commission Act of 2007.

information collection, TSA is soliciting

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the

Information Collection Requirement
Purpose of Data Collection
Section 1557(b) of the Implementing
the Recommendations of the 9/11
Commission Act of 2007, specifically
tasks TSA to develop and implement a
plan for inspecting certain critical
facilities of the 100 most critical
pipeline systems. See Pub. L. 110–53,
121 Stat. 266 at 475 (Aug. 3, 2007). The
predominant criterion used to
determine the nations top 100 pipeline
systems in terms of criticality is the
quantity of hazardous liquid or natural
gas product that is transported through
a pipeline in one year (annual throughput). Using annual through-put data
from Federal and commercially
available data as a preliminary
determinant, TSA has selected the
nation’s top 125 pipeline systems from
which annual through-put and critical
facility information will be requested.
TSA is requesting annual product
through-put information from these top
125 pipeline systems in order to ensure
that selection of the top 100 pipeline
systems for inspection reflects the most
recent throughput data and is as
complete and accurate as possible.
Description of Data Collection
TSA is requesting information from
the owners/operators of 125 systems.
Within each of the system owner/
operator companies, both the annual
through-put and critical facility
information has already been
determined and is readily available to
employees within the respective
companies. System through-put is a
figure already determined and
frequently used by pipeline companies
for various business, financial, and
operations performance purposes. Per
guidance set forth in the ‘‘Pipeline
Security Circular September 4, 2002’’
(2002 Guidelines) issued by the U.S.
E:\FR\FM\16APN1.SGM
16APN1
20701
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 74 / Wednesday, April 16, 2008 / Notices
Department of Transportation’s Pipeline
and Hazardous Material Safety
Administration (PHMSA), formerly the
Office of Pipeline Safety, pipeline
companies had to determine critical
facilities in accordance with guidance
provided in that circular by December
31, 2003. Therefore, very little
additional burden will be incurred by
the pipeline companies in determining
or producing this information.
Consequently, the burden to pipeline
owners/operators from to which
information is requested lies only in
compiling, reviewing, and transmitting
the currently existing information to
TSA. The time estimate breakdown is as
follows: TSA will request the
information from the nation’s top 125
pipeline systems. TSA estimates that
system owners and operators would
spend a maximum of four hours per
system to collect, review, and submit
the information via email to TSA. Thus,
TSA estimates the total annual burden
to the public would be (125 owners or
operators) × (4 hours per owner or
operator) = 500 total hours per year.
Use and Handling of Results
TSA will use annual product throughput values as a significant factor in
determining the most critical systems.
The lists of a system’s critical facilities
and amplifying information are
determined by the individual pipeline
system owners or operators for their
respective systems through their own
site assessment process, and will be
used by TSA to develop a plan for TSA
to inspect the top 100 sites as required
in section in 1557(b) of the
Implementing Recommendation for the
911 Commission Act of 2007.
Both the request for information sent
by TSA and the responses from subject
pipeline system owners or operators
will be conducted via electronic mail.
To the extent that the information
provided by owners or operators is
Sensitive Security Information (SSI), it
will be protected in accordance with
procedures meeting the transmission,
handling and storage requirements of
SSI set forth in 49 CFR parts 15 and
1520.
