transportation security and an
appropriate level of need to access
transportation security information–
such as, regulated parties and other
industry stakeholders, Federal agencies,
and state and local governments. This
system also integrates other securityrelated information and
communications at the sensitive
security information (SSI) level. It is
located in a secure online environment
and is accessible from the Homeland
Security Information Network (HSIN)
and TSA (for TSA staff only). It
disseminates mission-critical
information to users inside and outside
of the TSA organization. It provides an
online portal allowing authorized users
to obtain, post, and exchange
information, access common resources,
and communicate with similarly
situated individuals.
TSA infoBoards are primarily used for
disseminating TSA mission-critical
information, such as Security Directives
(SD), compliance status, policy updates,
and watch lists; however, some groups
of stakeholders utilize infoBoards for
collaboration and to upload
transportation security information.
InfoBoards allow stakeholders to filter
alerts and information based on their
particular needs, such as their regulated
areas of operation or their treaty
relationship for foreign government
staff.
TSA intends TSA infoBoards to be
used primarily by individuals with
transportation security responsibilities,
such as aircraft operators, airport
security coordinators, and international
transportation security coordinators.
These individuals can voluntarily
contact TSA to request access to TSA
infoBoards; TSA does not require
participation in TSA infoBoards.
Description of Data Collection
TSA will collect two types of
information through TSA infoBoards.
The collection is voluntary. TSA
infoBoards users are not required to
provide all information requested, but
users who choose to withhold
information will not receive the benefits
of TSA infoBoards associated with that
information collection.
1. User registration information. TSA
will collect this information to ensure
only those members of the
transportation community with a
relevant interest in transportation
security and with an appropriate level
of need to access transportation security
information can be allowed onto TSA
infoBoards. Such registration
information will include the user’s
name, professional contact information,
agency/company, job title, employer,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

airport (optional), citizenship,
regulatory interest, and employment
verification contact information.
2. User’s choice of infoBoards. TSA
will collect this information to select
TSA infoBoards community(ies)
appropriate for the particular user.
Users are asked to submit their
transportation security interest(s) and
desired infoBoard(s) (to assess the user’s
qualifications and needs together with
the user registration information).
Use of Results
TSA will use this information to
assess and improve the capabilities of
all transportation modes to prevent,
prepare for, mitigate against, respond to,
and recover from transportation security
incidents. A failure to collect this
information will limit TSA’s ability to
effectively enable modal operators to
respond to, and quickly recover after, a
transportation security incident.
Insufficient awareness, prevention,
response, and recovery to a
transportation security incident will
result in increased vulnerability of the
U.S. transportation network.
Based on industry population
estimates and growth rates, and interest
generated amongst the transportation
modes prior to TSA infoBoards’ release
to the public, TSA estimates that there
will be approximately 10,000 users
within the first three years of the
system’s use. TSA estimates users will
spend approximately 1 hour per TSA
infoBoards user inputting the
information described above. Given this
information, the total annual hour
burden for this information collection
for all respondents within the first three
years of TSA infoBoards’ release is
estimated to be approximately 30,000
hours. There are no fees to use TSA
infoBoards.
