Information Collection Requirement OMB Control Number 1652–0041; TSA End of Course Level 1 Evaluation— Instructor-Led Classroom Training. TSA’s CTC delivers instructor-led classroom training, including the Explosives Detection Canine Handler Course, Passenger Screening Canine Handler Course, Bridge Course, and the Law Enforcement Supervisor Course to TSA, and state and local civilian personnel. State and local civilian personnel (primarily, law enforcement agencies that are responsible for the security at airports throughout the United States) participate in this classroom training under agencyspecific cooperative agreements with TSA’s National Explosives Detection Canine Team Program. This information collection captures ratings and written comments from students about the quality of the training. The CTC collects the evaluation data to determine students’ satisfaction with their learning experience and provides it to representatives at both TSA headquarters and at CTC (e.g., to the Branch Manager, Deputy Branch Manager, and CTC instructional staff and supervisors) to improve the course curriculum and course of instruction. TSA estimates an average of 156 students will complete the evaluations annually. The estimated burden is approximately 30 minutes (0.5 hours) per participant, or total of 78 hours per calendar year to read, answer, and submit the evaluation questions. Dated: November 9, 2021.

Forms(s): Pipeline Corporate Security Review (PCSR) Protocol Form and TSA Forms related to the Security Directive. 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. In addition, on July 19, 2021, TSA issued a Security Directive (SD) imposing mandatory cybersecurity measures on specified owner/operators of critical hazardous liquid and natural pipelines and liquefied natural gas facilities.2 These owner/operators are khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 1 Public Law 107–71 (115 Stat. 597; Nov. 19, 2001) codified at 49 U.S.C. 114. 2 On May 28, 2021, TSA issued another SD which included three information collections. OMB control number 1652–0055, includes two of these information collections, requiring owner/operators to report cybersecurity incidents to CISA, and to designate a Cybersecurity Coordinator, who is required to be available to the TSA 24/7 to coordinate cybersecurity practices and address any incidents that arise, and who must submit contact information to TSA. OMB control number 1652– 0050 contains the remaining information collection, requiring owner/operators to conduct a cybersecurity assessment, to address cyber risk, and identify remediation measures that will be taken to fill those gaps and a time frame for achieving those measures.

This report must be made available to TSA upon request. Second, they are required to have a third-party complete an evaluation of their industrial control system design and architecture to identify previously unrecognized vulnerabilities. The evaluation must include a final report that must also be made available to TSA upon request. Third, within 7 days of each deadline set forth in the SD, owner/operators must ensure that their Cybersecurity Coordinator or other accountable executive submits a statement to TSA via email certifying that the owner/operator has met the requirements of the SD. For convenience, TSA provides an optional form for each submission deadline that owner/operators can complete and submit via email. To the extent information collected is deemed Sensitive Security Information, TSA will handle the information as required by 49 CFR parts 15 and 1520. Number of Respondents: 97 respondents annually.
