Owners and operators within the transportation sector can access information and use the assessment tool by visiting TSA’s Web site: https:// www.tsa.gov. Select the ‘‘Our Approach’’ link at the top tab area, then the ‘‘Risk Management’’ link on the left listing, followed by the ‘‘Risk Assessment Tools’’ link at the bottom of the page under ‘‘Additional Information,’’ and finally select one of the following links to the appropriate tool: • Transportation Risk Assessment and Vulnerability Evaluation Tool. • Maritime Vulnerability Identification Self-Assessment Tool. • Mass Transit Vulnerability Identification Self-Assessment Tool. Upon completion of the tool assessment, users receive a report that summarizes their inputs. They may then use this report to develop a security plan or to identify areas of potential vulnerability. Users have the option to submit the completed assessment to DHS. If submitted, DHS reviews the assessment for consistency and provides feedback to the users. The submission is treated as Sensitive Security Information pursuant to 49 CFR part 1520 and protected accordingly. TSA is seeking OMB approval to renew this control number for the maximum three-year period to continue to provide this tool to transportation owners and operators so that owners and operators will have the benefits of using the tool, and TSA will have information useful to identifying the most significant risks. Based on experience to date, TSA expects that approximately 1,000 persons will use the tool annually. The total estimated annual burden hours will be 8,000 based on an estimated 8 hours per respondent. Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on December 18, 2008.
