EXIS® is an internet-accessible knowledgemanagement system developed by TSA to serve its relevant stakeholders (such as members of the transportation industry, port authorities, Federal agencies, and State, local, territorial, and Tribal governments). EXIS® integrates security-related training and exercise components constituting sensitive security information (SSI).1 It gives stakeholders valuable security exercise scenarios and objectives, best practices and lessons learned, and a repository of the users’ own historical exercise data for use in future exercises. Transportation industry stakeholders can choose scenarios and objectives based on their vulnerabilities, mode of transportation, and the size of their operation. TSA will collect five types of information through EXIS®. The collection is voluntary. While EXIS® users are not required to provide all information requested, if users choose to withhold information, they may not receive the benefits of EXIS® associated with that information collection. 1. User registration information. Because EXIS® includes SSI information, TSA must collect information upon registration to ensure only those members of the transportation community with a relevant interest in conducting security training exercises, and with an appropriate level of need to access security training information, are provided access to EXIS®. TSA collects: The User’s Name, Agency/Organization Name and Type, Job Title, Supervisor or other Sponsor’s Name, Professional Phone Number, Professional Email Address, Employment Verification Contact Name, Employment Verification Contact Information, and the Reason for Needing an EXIS® account. In addition, the following optional registration information can be added by the user: 1 SSI is information which, if publicly released, would be detrimental to transportation security, and is defined at 49 U.S.C. 114(r) and 49 CFR part 1520. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:12 Sep 16, 2024 Jkt 262001 Professional (business), Country, City, State, Zip Code, Mobile Phone Number, Alternate Email, and Preferred Transportation Sector. 2. Desired nature and scope of the exercise. TSA collects this information to generate an EXIS® training exercise appropriate for the particular user. Users are asked to submit their desired transportation mode, exercise properties, objectives, scenario events, and participating agencies/attendees. 3. Corrective actions/lessons learned/ best practices. TSA collects this information to document and share the users’ ideas and methods for improving transportation security with other transportation stakeholders in the wider EXIS® user base. The TSA Intermodal Security Training and Exercise Program office may send lessons learned and best practices to subject matter experts within TSA for review. Once the information is reviewed, any company or user identifying information is removed and the content is published to the site for all users to access. 4. Evaluation feedback. TSA collects this information for the purpose of evaluating the usefulness of EXIS® in facilitating security training exercises for the users. TSA can then modify EXIS® to better suit its users’ needs. 5. After-Action Reports (AARs). EXIS® automatically summarizes information from items (2) and (3) mentioned above in order to create formal AARs for users. These AARs include an exercise overview, goals and objectives, scenario event synopsis, analysis of critical issues, exercise design characteristics, conclusions, and the executive summary. The AAR is the output of the exercise process. Stakeholders use the report to identify strengths or areas in which they can assign resources to mitigate risk and enhance the security posture within their organization. Based on industry population estimates and growth rates, and interest generated amongst the transportation modes during the years following EXIS’s® release to the public, TSA estimates that the respondents will be approximately 16,713 full access and limited access users. TSA estimates a proportion of these respondents will participate; 2,006.7 full access users and 74.1 limited access users will spend approximately 3.5 hours per EXIS® user inputting the information described above, totaling, 7,282.7 burden hours. TSA estimates 12,065 limited access users will also spend approximately 0.25 hours completing a survey, totaling 3,016.3 burden hours. Given this information, the annual hourly burden for EXIS’s® collection of information is 10,299 hours (7,282.7 + 3,016.3). PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Dated: September 11, 2024.
