infrastructure, the PCSR program
subject matter experts:
• Meet with senior corporate officers
and security managers.
• Develop knowledge of security
planning at critical pipeline
infrastructure sites.
• Establish and maintain a working
relationship with key security staff who
operate critical pipeline infrastructure.
• Identify industry smart practices
and lessons learned.
• Maintain a dynamic modal network
through effective communications with
the pipeline industry and government
stakeholders.
In carrying out PCSRs, subject matter
experts from TSA, using a risk-based
approach, visit select pipeline owners/
operators throughout the nation. These
are voluntary face-to-face visits, usually
at the headquarters facility of the
pipeline owner/operator. Typically,
TSA sends one to three employees to
conduct a three- to four-hour interview
with representatives from the owner/
operator. The TSA representatives
analyze the owner/operator’s security
plan and determine if the mitigation
measures included in the plan are being
properly implemented. TSA then may
visit one or two of the owner/operator’s
assets to further assess the
implementation of the owner/operator’s
security plan.
TSA has developed a question set to
aid in the conducting of PCSRs. The
PCSR Question Set drives the TSAowner/operator discussion and is the
central data source for all security
information collected. The PCSR
Question Set was developed based on
government and industry guidance to
obtain information from a pipeline
owner/operator about its security plan
and processes. The questions are
designed to examine the company’s
current state of security, as well as to
address measures that are applied if
there is a change in the National
Terrorism Advisory System.
In application, topics such as security
program management, vulnerability
assessments, components of the security
plan, security training, and emergency
communications enable the PCSR
Teams to assess the owner/operator’s
security plan by evaluating a broad
range of security issues such as physical
security, cyber security,
communication, and training. The PCSR
Question Set also includes sections for
facility site visits and owner/operator
contact information. The questions and
subsequent answers help provide TSA
with a snapshot of a company’s security

posture and are instrumental in
developing smart practices and security
measures.
This PCSR information collection
provides TSA with real-time
information on current security
practices within the pipeline mode of
the surface transportation sector. This
information allows TSA to adapt
programs to the changing security
threat, while incorporating an
understanding of the improvements
owners/operators make in their security
measures. Without this information, the
ability of TSA to perform its security
mission would be severely hindered.
Additionally, the relationships these
face-to-face contacts foster are critical to
the Federal government’s ability to
reach out to the pipeline stakeholders
affected by the PCSRs. TSA assures
respondents that the portion of their
responses that is deemed Sensitive
Security Information (SSI) will be
protected in accordance with
procedures meeting the transmission,
handling, and storage requirements of
SSI set forth in 49 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) parts 15 and 1520.
The annual hour burden for this
information collection is estimated to be
120 hours based upon 15 PCSR visits
per year, each lasting a total of eight
hours.
