This notice announces that
the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) has forwarded the
Information Collection Request (ICR),
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number 1652–0027,
abstracted below to OMB for review and
approval of an extension of the
currently approved collection under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The
ICR describes the nature of the
information collection and its expected
burden. TSA published a Federal
Register notice, with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments, of the
following collection of information on
August 30, 2011, 75 FR 52962. The
collection involves applicant
submission of biometric and biographic

assessment in order to obtain the
hazardous materials endorsement
(HME) on a commercial drivers license
(CDL) issued by the States and the
District of Columbia.
DATES: Send your comments by July 22,
2011. A comment to OMB is most
effective if OMB receives it within 30
days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, OMB. Comments should be
addressed to Desk Officer, Department
of Homeland Security/TSA, and sent via
electronic mail to
oira_submission@omb.eop.gov or faxed
to (202) 395–6974.

Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork

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 is
available at https://www.reginfo.gov.
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
agencies’ 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: Security Threat Assessment for
Individuals Applying for a Hazardous
Materials Endorsement for a
Commercial Drivers License.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0027.
Forms(s): N/A.
Affected Public: Drivers seeking a
hazardous material endorsement (HME)
on their commercial driver’s license
(CDL).
Abstract: This collection supports the
implementation of sec. 1012 of the USA
PATRIOT Act (Pub. L. 107–56, 115 Stat.
272, 396, Oct. 26, 2001), which
mandates that no State or the District of
Columbia may issue a HME on a CDL
unless TSA has first determined the
driver is not a threat to transportation
security. TSA’s regulations at 49 CFR
part 1572 describe the procedures,
standards, and eligibility criteria for
security threat assessments on
individuals seeking to obtain, renew, or
transfer a HME on a CDL. In order to
conduct the security threat assessment,
States (or a TSA designated agent in
States that elect to have TSA perform
the collection of information) must
collect information in addition to that
already collected for the purpose of
HME applications, which will occur
once approximately every five years.
The driver is required to submit an
application that includes personal
biographic information (for instance,
height, weight, eye and hair color, date
of birth); information concerning legal
status, mental health defects history,
and criminal history; and fingerprints.
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
In addition, 49 CFR part 1572 requires
States to maintain a copy of the driver
application for a period of one year.
TSA proposes to amend the application
to collect minor additional information,
such as legal status document
information and whether the driver is a
new applicant or renewing or
transferring the HME. This will enable
the program to better understand and
forecast driver retention, transfer rate,
and drop-rate, thus improving customer
service, reducing program costs, and
providing comparability with other
Federal background checks, including
the Transportation Workers
Identification Credential (TWIC).
Number of Respondents: 300,000.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 978,000 hours annually.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on June 15,
2011.

TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Office
of Information Technology.
