Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0066;
Security Training for Surface
Transportation Employees. TSA was
established by the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act (ATSA) as
the primary federal authority to enhance
security for all modes of transportation.1
1 Public Law 107–71, 115 Stat. 597 (Nov. 19,
2001). ATSA created TSA as a component of the
Department of Transportation (DOT). Section 403(2)
of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (HSA), Public
Law 107–296, 116 Stat. 2135 (Nov. 25, 2002),

The scope of TSA’s authority includes
assessing security risks, developing
security measures to address identified
risks, and enforcing compliance with
these measures.2 TSA also has broad
regulatory authority to issue, rescind,
revise, and enforce, regulations as
necessary to carry out its transportation
security functions.3
As part of the Implementing
Recommendations of the 9/11
Commission Act of 2007 (9/11 Act),4
Congress mandated regulations to
enhance surface transportation security
through security training of frontline
employees. The mandate includes
prescriptive requirements for who must
be trained, what the training must
encompass, and how to submit and
obtain approval for a training program.5
The 9/11 Act also mandates regulations
requiring higher-risk railroads and overthe-road buses to appoint security
coordinators.6
In accordance with these authorities
and mandates, TSA published the
Security Training for Surface
Transportation Employees Final Rule
(Rule). See 85 FR 16456 (March 23,
2020). This Rule requires owner/
operators of higher-risk freight railroad
carriers, public transportation agencies
(including rail mass transit and bus
systems), passenger railroad carriers and
over-the-road bus companies to provide
TSA-approved security training to
employees who perform securitysensitive functions. In addition, TSA
expanded its requirements for security
coordinators and the reporting of
significant security concerns, including
bus operations, within the scope of the
regulation. See 49 CFR parts 1570, 1580,
1582, and 1584.
The information collection mandated
by the Rule includes the following:
• Security Training Program. Each
owner/operator required to have a
security training program must submit
the program to TSA for approval to
ensure that the program meets the
required program elements. TSA then
reviews the submitted-program,
security, including those of the Secretary of
Transportation and the Under Secretary of
Transportation for Security, to the Secretary of
Homeland Security. Pursuant to DHS Delegation
Number 7060.2, the Secretary delegated to the
Administrator, subject to the Secretary’s guidance
and control, the authority vested in the Secretary
with respect to TSA, including the authority in sec.
403(2) of the HSA.
2 See 49 U.S.C. 114, which codified section 101
of ATSA.
3 49 U.S.C. 114(l)(1).
4 Public Law 110–53 (121 Stat. 266; Aug. 3, 2007).
5 See secs. 1408, 1517, and 1534 of the 9/11 Act,
codified at 6 U.S.C. 1137, 1167, and 1184,
respectively.
6 See secs. 1512 and 1531 of the 9/11 Act,
codified at 6 U.S.C. 1162 and 1181, respectively.

including curriculum, schedule for
training, and employees to be trained, to
verify that the training program satisfies
the regulatory requirements. The
curriculum must include training on
how to observe, assess and respond to
terrorist-related threats and/or
incidents. The schedule must address
both initial and recurrent training. The
scope of the training must include all
security-sensitive employees as
applicable to the specific modal
requirements. If TSA determines the
program submitted meets the regulatory
requirements, the owner/operator does
not need to submit additional programs
to TSA unless or until amendments or
updates are required. If modifications
are required, the owner/operator must
re-submit their training program for
TSA review and, as necessary, further
modifications, until TSA-approval is
obtained.
• Security Training Records. Each
owner/operator is required to maintain
security training records for each
employee trained for no less than five
years from the date of the training. This
record retention schedule is necessary
to validate compliance with the
requirement to provide triennial
training.
• Security Coordinator Information.
Each owner/operator is required to
designate and provide to TSA the
contact information of a primary and at
least one alternate Security Coordinator.
This requirement is an expansion of
previously imposed requirements
applicable to rail operations. As a result,
this requirement does not apply to
populations currently covered under
OMB 1652–0051 (Rail Transportation
Security).
• Reporting Significant Security
Concerns Information. Each owner/
operator is required to report potential
threats and significant security concerns
to TSA within 24 hours of initial
discovery. This requirement is an
expansion of previously imposed
requirements applicable to rail
operations. As a result, this information
collection does not apply to populations
currently covered under OMB 1652–
0051 (Rail Transportation Security).
Since the Rule was issued, changes in
the industry have resulted in a
reduction in the number of regulated
persons. As a result, TSA is reducing
the estimated number of respondents to
the information collection from 289 to
approximately 218 respondents, with an
annual burden estimate of 4,623 hours
(13,869 over three years).

In accordance with these authorities and mandates, TSA published
the Security Training for Surface Transportation Employees Final Rule
(Rule). See 85 FR 16456 (March 23, 2020). This Rule requires owner/
operators of higher-risk freight railroad carriers, public
transportation agencies (including rail mass transit and bus systems),
passenger railroad carriers and over-the-road bus companies to provide
TSA-approved security training to employees who perform security-
sensitive functions. In addition, TSA expanded its requirements for
security coordinators and the reporting of significant security
concerns, including bus operations, within the scope of the regulation.
