Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs, and E.O. 13777, Enforcing the

Information Collection Requirement
Title: Pipeline Corporate Security
Review (PCSR).
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0056.
Forms(s): Pipeline Corporate Security
Review (PCSR) Protocol Form.
Affected Public: Hazardous Liquids
and Natural Gas Pipeline Industry.
Abstract: Under the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act (ATSA) 1
and delegated authority from the
Secretary of Homeland Security, TSA is
tasked with developing policies,
strategies, and plans for dealing with
transportation security. To carry out this
responsibility regarding pipelines, TSA
assesses current industry security
practices through its PCSR program. The
PCSR is a voluntary, face-to-face visit
with a pipeline owner/operator during
which TSA discusses an owner/
operator’s corporate security planning
and the entries made by the owner/
operator on the PCSR Form. The PCSR
Form includes 210 questions concerning
the owner/operator’s corporate level
security planning, covering security
topics such as physical and cyber
security, vulnerability assessments,
training, and emergency
communications. TSA uses the
information collected during the PCSR
process to determine baseline security
standards, potential areas of security
vulnerability, and industry ‘‘smart’’
practices throughout the pipeline mode.
Number of Respondents: 20
respondents annually.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours:
180–220 hours annually.
Dated: September 26, 2019.
