TWIC® and undergo the associated
security threat assessment. The data
used to conduct a comprehensive
security threat assessment includes: (1)
A criminal history records check; (2) a
check of intelligence databases; and (3)
an immigration status check. TSA may
also use the data to determine a TWIC®
holder’s eligibility to participate in
TSA’s expedited screening program for
air travel, TSA Pre✓®, without requiring
an additional background check.
At the enrollment center, applicants
verify their biographic information and
provide identity documentation,
biometric information, and proof of
immigration status (if required). This
information allows TSA to complete a
security threat assessment. During
enrollment, TSA collects from
applicants a $125.25 fee for standard
enrollment. (Effective October 1, 2016,
TSA reduced the standard enrollment
fee by $2.75 in alignment to the FBI’s
fee update for fingerprint-based criminal
history records checks.) If TSA
determines that the applicant is eligible
to receive a TWIC®, TSA issues and
sends an activated TWIC® card to the
address provided by the applicant or
notifies the applicant that their TWIC®
is ready for pick up and activation at an
enrollment center. Once activated, this
credential will be used for facility and
vessel access control requirements to
include card authentication, card
validation, and identity verification. In
the event of a lost, damaged or stolen
credential, the cardholder may request a
replacement card from an enrollment
center for a $60.00 fee. The one-time
temporary Extended Expiration Date
(EED) TWIC® renewal option and
collection requirement is discontinued.
TSA also conducts a survey to capture
applicant and cardholder overall
satisfaction with the enrollment and
activation process. This optional
customer satisfaction survey is provided
at the end of enrollment and at the end
of the activation processes.
Number of New TWIC® Enrollments:
An estimated 519,710 annually.
Total Annual Hour Burden: An
estimated 738,748 annually including
enrollment, issuance, and appeal/waiver
burden hours.
Enrollment Burden Hours: An
estimated 592,574 annually.
Card Issuance Burden Hours: An
estimated 121,619 annually.
Waiver/Appeal Burden Hours: An
estimated 24,556 hours annually.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Health Standards for Diesel Particulate
Matter Exposure in Underground Coal
Mines information collection
requirements codified in regulations 30
CFR 72.510(a) and (b) and 72.520(a) and
(b). More specifically regulations section
72.510(b) requires an underground coal
mine operator to keep a record for one
year of having provided required
training. Section 72.520(a) and (b)
requires an underground coal mine
operator to maintain an inventory of
diesel powered equipment units
together with a list of information about
any unit’s emission control or filtration
system. The list must be updated within
seven (7) calendar days of any change.
Federal Mine Safety & Health Act of

of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control

requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
November 4, 2016 (81 FR 76968).
