et seq.), an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a valid OMB control
number. The ICR documentation will be
available at https://www.reginfo.gov
upon its submission to OMB. Therefore,
in preparation for OMB review and
approval of the following information
collection, TSA is soliciting comments
to—
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
information requirement is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions
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.
Consistent with the requirements of
Executive Order (E.O.) 13771, Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs, and E.O. 13777, Enforcing the
Regulatory Reform Agenda, TSA is also
requesting comments on the extent to
which this request for information could
be modified to reduce the burden on
respondents.
Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0047;
Transportation Worker Identification
Credential (TWIC®) Program. The
Transportation Worker Identification
Credential (TWIC®) program is a DHS
program administered jointly by TSA
and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) to
mitigate threats and vulnerabilities in
the national maritime transportation
system. The program implements
authorities set forth in the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act (ATSA)
(Pub. L. 107–71; Nov. 19, 2002; sec.
106), the Maritime Transportation
Security Act of 2002 (MTSA) (Pub. L.
107–295; Nov. 25, 2002; sec. 102), and
the Safe, Accountable, Flexible,
Efficient Transportation Equity Act—A
Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU) (Pub.
L. 109–59; Aug. 10, 2005; sec. 7105),
codified at 49 U.S.C. 5103a(g). TSA and
the USCG implemented these
requirements through a rulemaking
codified at 33 CFR parts 105 and 106,
and 49 CFR part 1572.
TWIC® is a common credential for all
personnel requiring unescorted access
to secure areas of facilities and vessels
regulated pursuant to requirements in
the Maritime Transportation Security
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4703

Act (MTSA) and certain mariners
holding USCG credentials. Individuals
in the field of transportation who are
required to undergo an STA in certain
other programs, such as the Chemical
Facility Anti-Terrorism (CFATS)
program, may also apply for a TWIC®
and the associated security threat
assessment to satisfy CFATS
requirements.
Before issuing an individual a TWIC®,
TSA performs an STA that includes
checks of criminal history, immigration,
and terrorism records. To conduct the
STA, TSA must collect the following:
• Certain biographic information,
including name, address, date of birth
and other information;
• Fingerprints and photographs of
applicants; and
• A $125.25 fee from applicants to
cover the cost of the STA, as required
by law (see 6 U.S.C. 469).
TSA collects this information from
applicants during an optional preenrollment step or during the
enrollment session at an enrollment
center.
If TSA determines that the applicant
is eligible to receive a TWIC® as a result
of the STA, 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
can 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 must notify TSA
immediately and may request a
replacement card online, via telephone
or, from an enrollment center for a
$60.00 fee.
TSA may also use the information to
determine a TWIC® holder’s eligibility
to participate in TSA’s expedited
screening program for air travel, TSA
PreCheckTM Application Program.
Beginning April 2020, active
(unexpired) TWIC® holders who meet
the eligibility requirements for TSA
PreCheck may use their TWIC® card’s
Credential Identification Number in the
appropriate known traveler number
field of an airline reservation to obtain
expedited screening eligibility.
TSA invites all TWIC® applicants to
complete an optional survey to gather
information on the applicants’ overall
customer satisfaction with the
enrollment process. This optional
survey is administered by a Trusted
Agent (a representative of the TWIC®
enrollment service provider, who
performs enrollment functions) during
the process to activate the TWIC®.

These surveys are collected at each
enrollment center and compiled to
produce reports that are reviewed by the
contractor and TSA.
TSA estimates that there will be
approximately 541,514 respondents to
this TWIC® information collection. The
current estimated annualized hour
burden is 681,785 hours.

Multifamily Accelerated Processing
(MAP) Guide.
OMB Approval Number: 2502–0541.
OMB Expiration Date: December 31,
2020.
Type of Request: Revision.
Form Number: Guidebook 4430.G.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use:
Multifamily Accelerated Processing
(MAP) is designed to establish uniform
national standards for Federal Housing
Administration (FHA) approved lenders
to prepare, process and submit loan
applications for FHA multifamily
mortgage insurance. The MAP Guide
provides—in one volume with
appendices—guidance for HUD staff,
lenders, third party consultants,
borrowers, and other industry
participants. Topics include mortgage
insurance program descriptions,
borrower and lender eligibility
requirements, application requirements,
underwriting standards for all technical
disciplines and construction loan
administration requirements. The MAP
Guide applies only to FHA multifamily
mortgage insurance programs. Except to
the extent lender monitoring or
enforcement activities overlap, Section
232 and other programs administered by
the Office of Healthcare Programs are
not addressed by the MAP Guide.
The Guide has been updated to reflect
various organizational, policy and
processing changes implemented since
the last edition was published in 2016.
Examples include electronic submission
of data in a standardized format, the
consolidation of HUD Field Offices to
Regional Centers and Satellite Offices,
workload sharing, and a ‘‘risk-based’’
underwriting approach. The goal of
MAP is to provide a consistent,
expedited mortgage insurance
application process at each HUD
Multifamily Regional Center or Satellite
Office. All MAP eligible projects must
be submitted using MAP processing

unless a waiver is granted to process

authority is retained by HUD
Headquarters’ Director of Multifamily
Production. Additionally, two new
chapters were added to this edition of
the Guide: The ‘‘Water and Energy
Conservation’’ chapter and the ‘‘Closing
Guide’’.

of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
