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. 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
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
Title: Critical Facility Information of
the Top 100 Most Critical Pipelines.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0050.
Forms(s): Critical Facility Security
Review (CFSR).
PO 00000
Frm 00064
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Affected Public: Pipeline companies.
Abstract: Section 1557(b) of the
Implementing the Recommendations of
the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007
specifically tasked TSA to develop and
implement a plan for inspecting critical
facilities of the 100 most critical
pipeline systems. See Public Law 110–
53, 121 Stat. 266, 475 (Aug. 3, 2007).
Operators determined their critical
facilities based on guidance and criteria
set forth in the Department of
Transportation’s (DOT) September 5,
2002, ‘‘Pipeline Security Information
Circular’’ and June 2002 ‘‘Pipeline
Security Contingency Planning
Guidance.’’ With OMB approval (OMB
Control Number 1652–0050), TSA
reached out to the operators of the top
125 critical pipeline systems and
requested they submit a listing of their
critical facilities to TSA. This critical
facility information was submitted to
TSA between November 2008 and
August 2009. In April 2011, TSA
updated the ‘‘Pipeline Security
Guidelines’’ in consultation with
stakeholders and DOT. TSA is now
seeking to renew its OMB approval to
request critical facility information from
the top 125 pipeline operators. TSA
anticipates that each operator will
report, on average, a total of 5 critical
facilities on their system, for a total of
approximately 600 critical facilities
across the top 125 operators.
Once updated critical facility
information is obtained, TSA intends to
visit critical pipeline facilities and
collect site-specific information from
pipeline operators on facility security
policies, procedures, and physical
security measures. Information obtained
on the visits will be collected on a
Critical Facility Security Review (CFSR)
Form. The CFSR will differ from TSA’s
Corporate Security Review (CSR) in that
a CSR looks at corporate or companywide security management plans and
practices while the CFSR will look at
individual pipeline facility security
measures and procedures. TSA is
seeking OMB approval to utilize the
CFSR document during critical facility
reviews in order to collect facility
security information. Information
collected from the reviews would be
analyzed and used to determine
strengths and weaknesses at the nation’s
critical pipeline facilities, areas to target
for risk reduction strategies, pipeline
industry implementation of the
voluntary guidelines, and the need for
regulations in accordance with Section
1557(d) of the Implementing the
Recommendations of the 9/11
Commission Act of 2007. TSA
anticipates visiting 120 critical facilities
each year.
