AGENCY: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) invites public comment on one currently approved Information Collection Request (ICR), Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number 1652–0062 abstracted below that we will submit to OMB for a revision in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).

This voluntary collection allows TSA to conduct transportation securityrelated assessments during site visits with security and operating officials of certain surface transportation modes. DATES: Send your comments by January 12, 2024. ADDRESSES: Comments may be emailed to TSAPRA@tsa.dhs.gov or delivered to the TSA PRA Officer, Information Technology, TSA 11, Transportation Security Administration, 6595 Springfield Center Drive, Springfield, VA 20598–6011. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nicole Raymond at the above address, or by telephone (571) 227–2526. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Invited In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 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. Information Collection Requirement OMB Control Number 1652–0062; Baseline Assessment for Security Enhancement (BASE) Program. Under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act and delegated authority from the Secretary of Homeland Security, TSA has broad responsibility and authority for ‘‘security in all modes PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 of transportation including security responsibilities over modes of transportation that are exercised by the Department of Transportation.’’ 1 TSA is also required to ‘‘assess the security of each surface transportation mode and evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of current Federal Government surface transportation security initiatives.’’ 2 TSA developed the BASE program in 2007, in an effort to engage with surface transportation entities to establish a ‘‘baseline’’ of security and emergency response operations. This program was initially created for PTPR (including rail and bus operations). Based on the success of the program, TSA developed the HWY BASE program in 2012. The HWY BASE applies to trucking, school bus contractors, school districts, and over-the-road motor coaches. This voluntary program enables TSA to collect and evaluate physical and operational preparedness information and critical assets and key point-ofcontact lists. TSA also reviews emergency procedures and domain awareness training and provides an opportunity to share industry best practices. The BASE program provides TSA with current information on adopted security-practices within the PTPR and HWY modes of the surface transportation sector. The information collected also allows TSA to dynamically adapt programs to the changing threat with an understanding of the improvements surface transportation entities make in their security posture. Additionally, the relationships these face-to-face contacts foster are critical to TSA’s ability to reach out to the surface transportation entities participating in the BASE program. In carrying out the voluntary BASE program, TSA’s Transportation Security Inspectors-Surface (TSIs–S) conduct BASE reviews during site visits with security and operating officials of PTPR 1 See Public Law 107–71, (115 Stat. 597, Nov. 19, 2001), codified at 49 U.S.C. 114(d). The TSA Administrator’s current authorities under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act have been delegated to him by the Secretary of Homeland Security. Section 403(2) of the Homeland Security Act (HSA) of 2002, Public Law 107–296, (116 Stat. 2315, Nov. 25, 2002), transferred all functions of TSA, including those of the Secretary of Transportation and the Under Secretary of Transportation of Security related to TSA, to the Secretary of Homeland Security. Pursuant to DHS Delegation Number 7060.2, the Secretary delegated to the Assistant Secretary (now referred to as the Administrator of TSA), subject to the Secretary’s guidance and control, the authority vested in the Secretary with respect to TSA, including that in sec. 403(2) of the HSA. 2 See Executive Order 13416 of Dec. 5, 2006 (Strengthening Surface Transportation Security) at sec. 3(a).
