Purpose
significant results will emerge; these
results can then, in turn, inform the
structure and operation of the TSGP,
and, potentially, other security
partnerships.
The survey will consist of five main
sections that collect opinions about:
1. Part I: Regional and Entity Threat:
How partners view the threat of
terrorism to their system and region as
compared to the rest of the nation.
2. Part II: Membership and Process of
the RTSWG: How much do partners
prioritize security and how do they
view the priorities of other partners?
What does each of the partners bring to
the table that benefits the partnership?
How satisfied are partners with the
process and structure of the RTSWG?
3. Part III: Goals and Outcomes: What
are the goals that each partner has in
participating in the RTSWG? What are
the perceived outputs of the
partnership? What are the key
incentives that influence the success of
the partnership?
4. Part IV: Other Feedback: What is
working well, and/or what could be
improved, in regard to the RTSWGs as
they pertain to the TSGP?
5. Part V: Demographics: Is your
organization a member of a RTSWG?
Which Tier I RTSWG do you participate
in? At what level do you represent your
organization (e.g., security staff,
executive)? Which of the following best
characterizes your organization: Federal,
State, transit agency, and/or law
enforcement?
There are no other anticipated
recordkeeping and reporting burdens
associated with this information
collection.
The purpose of this information
collection is for TSA to more fully
understand the unique features that
characterize TSGP security partnerships
in order to begin to improve this and
other grant programs. Specifically, one
of TSA’s priorities for conducting this
survey is to systematically understand
the goals of all of its security partners
and whether or not those goals are
achieved through the partnership.
Discovering any disconnects will better
enable TSA to accomplish its mission
and ultimately increase the effectiveness
of the TSGP.
Past studies on partnerships have not
yielded recommendations that will
benefit the unique challenges TSA faces
with the TSGP through the RTSWGs.
Partnerships in the security grant
program context, specifically security
preparedness partnerships, have not
been extensively studied by academia or
the Federal government. Because of the
vast amounts of uncertainty that cloud
the ‘‘effectiveness’’ and ‘‘success’’
measurements of security partnerships,
they often face unique hurdles and thus
require alternative solutions to
overcome them.
Therefore, this information collection
is essential in order to better educate
TSA on strategies that enhance the
effectiveness of its security partnerships
with the transit community through the
RTSWGs. Through this effort, TSA and
its security partners will improve the
collaborative partnership process and,
therefore, the effectiveness of the TSGP.

Description of Data Collection
The respondents to this proposed
information collection are the
approximately 400 representatives of
eligible transit agencies, local law
enforcement, and State administrative
agencies that partner with TSA through
RTSWGs in order to implement the
TSGP. This information collection will
occur over approximately nine weeks to
elicit maximum response rates.
TSA will collect the information
through a Web-based survey. All
respondents will be e-mailed a Web site
link and a unique password in order to
take the survey. The same set of
questions will be asked of all
respondents. The Web-based survey will
take approximately 45 minutes to
complete. The anticipated one-time
reporting burden for the survey is 300
annual hours (e.g., 400 respondents
multiplied by 45 minutes = 18000
minutes divided by 60 (60 minutes per
hour) equals 300 hours).
The information collection will be
designed such that statistically

Use of Results
TSA will use these survey results to
improve TSGP partnership strategies,
which will, in turn, improve this and
other grant programs. Demographic
information will allow
recommendations to be made for the
entire program, looking nationally, and
for each of the eight RTSWGs, looking
regionally. Because each RTSWG
operates with slight differences, the
recommendations that result from the
data collection will enable processes in
each region to be refined so that the
goals of each partner are more
adequately addressed by the results of
the partnership, as appropriate. To
protect anonymity, demographic
subgroup results will only be reported if
there are at least 10 individuals
responding from that subgroup.
Demographic subgroups may be
geographic (by region) or organizational
(type of organization, e.g., Federal,
State, and/or transit agency).

The outcome of this information
collection and analysis of the survey
results will provide several findings
where improvements may be made for
each region. Areas that are actionable
will then be presented generically to the
regions through the RTSWGs and
anticipated changes to address the
issues discussed.

measures, marine information, diving
safety, and aids to navigation systems.
NAVSAC meets at least once a year at
Coast Guard Headquarters, Washington,
DC, or another location selected by the
Coast Guard. It may also meet for
extraordinary purposes. Its
subcommittees and working groups may
meet to consider specific problems as
required.
Selected individuals will serve as
either Special Government Employees
(SGE) or Representative Members. An
SGE Member is an officer or employee
of the executive or legislative branch
who is retained, designated, appointed,
or employed to perform temporary
duties (either on a full-time or
intermittent basis) for not to exceed 130
days during any period of 365
consecutive days. The definition of SGE
also includes individuals in certain
miscellaneous positions, who are
deemed SGEs without regard to the
number of days of service. In general,
SGEs provide Federal advisory
committees with their own best
independent judgment based on their
individual expertise. (See 18 U.S.C.
202(a).)
A Representative Member is an
individual who is not a Federal
employee (or a Federal employee who is
attending in a personal capacity), who is
selected for membership on a Federal
advisory committee for the purpose of
obtaining the point of view or
perspective of an outside interest group
or stakeholder interest. While
representative members may have
expertise in a specific area, discipline,
or subject matter, they are not selected
solely on the basis of this expertise, but
rather are selected to represent the point
of view of a group or particular interest.
A representative member may represent
groups or organizations, such as
industry, labor, consumers or any other
recognizable group of persons having an
interest in matters before the committee.
We will consider applications for six
positions that expire or become vacant
in November 2009. Applications will be
considered from persons representing,
insofar as practical, the following
groups: Four persons from among
recognized experts and leaders in
organizations having an active interest
in the Rules of the Road and vessel and
port safety; and two persons from
among professional mariners,
recreational boaters and the recreational
boating industry.
Organizations having an active
interest in the Rules of the Road and
vessel and port safety are considered to
include organizations representing
vessel owners and operators of vessels
operating on international waters and/or
PO 00000

the inland waters of the United States;
the Federal and State maritime
academies; maritime education and
training institutions teaching Rules of
the Road, navigation, and electronic
navigation; and organizations
established to facilitate vessel
movement and navigational safety.
Members from these organizations are
appointed to express the viewpoint of
the organizations listed above and are
SGEs as defined in section 202(a) of title
18, United States Code, and will not be
appointed as Representative Members.
Professional mariners are considered
to include actively working or retired
mariners experienced in applying the
Inland and/or International Rules as
masters or licensed deck officers of
vessels operating on international
waters or the inland waters of the
United States, and federal or state
licensed pilots. Recreational boaters and
the recreational boating industry are
specifically identified groups that
members may represent. Members from
these groups are appointed to express
the viewpoint of the groups listed above
in which they serve or have served and
are not SGEs as defined in section
202(a) of title 18, United States Code,
and will be appointed as Representative
Members.
All individuals meeting the above
requirements are invited to apply. Each
member serves for a term of three years.
A few members may serve consecutive
terms. All members serve at their own
expense and receive no salary but
receive reimbursement for travel
expenses and per diem expenses from
the Federal Government.
In support of the policy of the Coast
Guard on gender and ethnic diversity,
we encourage qualified women and
members of minority groups to apply.
If you are selected as a member who
represents the general public, we will
require you to complete a Confidential
Financial Disclosure Report (OGE Form
450). We may not release the report or
the information in it to the public,
except under an order issued by a
Federal court or as otherwise provided
under the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a).
Only the Designated Agency Ethics
Official (DAEO) or the DAEO’s
designate may release a Confidential
Financial Disclosure Report.
If you are interested in applying to
become a member of NAVSAC, send a
completed application to Commandant
(CG–54121), U.S. Coast Guard, 2100
Second Street, SW., Washington, DC
20593–0001. Applications should reach
us on or before June 19, 2009.
