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
Purpose of Data Collection
TSA infoBoards were developed by
TSA as part of its broad responsibilities
and authorities under the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act (ATSA),
and delegated authority from the
Secretary of Homeland Security, for
‘‘security in all modes of transportation
. . . including security responsibilities
. . . over modes of transportation that
are exercised by the Department of
Transportation.’’ 1
The TSA infoBoards are a data
management system that provides
coordination and collaboration with
parties that have a relevant interest in
1 See Public Law 107–71 (115 Stat. 597, Nov. 19,
2001), codified at 49 U.S.C. 114 (d). The TSA
Assistant Secretary’s current authorities under
ATSA have been delegated to him by the Secretary
of Homeland Security. Section 403(2) of the
Homeland Security Act (HSA) of 2002, Public Law
107–296 (116 Stat. 2315, Nov. 25, 2002), transferred
all functions of TSA, including those of the
Secretary of Transportation and the Under Secretary
of Transportation of Security related to TSA, to the
Secretary of Homeland Security. Pursuant to DHS
Delegation Number 7060.2, the Secretary delegated
to the Assistant Secretary (then referred to as the
Administrator of TSA), subject to the Secretary’s
guidance and control, the authority vested in the
Secretary with respect to TSA, including that in
section 403(2) of the HSA.

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,

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.
