PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 OMB Control Number: 1652–XXXX. Form(s): N/A. Affected Public: States. Abstract: Beginning May 7, 2025, the REAL ID regulations prohibit Federal agencies from accepting, for official purposes, driver’s licenses or identification cards that are not compliant with REAL ID requirements.1 In December 2020, the REAL ID Modernization Act clarified that mobile or digital driver’s licenses or identification cards (collectively ‘‘mobile driver’s licenses’’ or ‘‘mDLs’’), are subject to REAL ID requirements.2 This Act also amended the definitions of ‘‘driver’s license’’ and ‘‘identification card’’ to specifically include mDLs that have been issued in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary. The REAL ID Act was enacted, and DHS regulations issued, before the development of mDLs. As a result, many of the current regulation’s security requirements for physical cards, such as physical security features to deter fraud and tampering, do not apply to mDLs. In the absence of regulatory requirements to address mDLs, States are unable to issue REAL ID-compliant mDLs. TSA has initiated a two-phased rulemaking to address this gap. The first phase enables States to apply to TSA for a temporary waiver of certain requirements in the regulations. In the second phase, TSA would repeal the waiver provisions established in the first phase and establish comprehensive requirements enabling States to issue mDLs that comply with REAL ID requirements. In August 2023, TSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 3 to amend the DHS REAL ID regulations as part of the multi-phased approach to address mDLs. The NPRM proposed to waive, on a temporary and State-byState basis, the regulatory requirement that mDLs must be compliant with REAL ID requirements to be accepted by Federal agencies for official purposes. The NPRM proposed the process and standards for the waiver to permit Federal agencies, at their discretion, to continue accepting for official purposes mDLs after May 7, 2025, if the mDL is issued by a State to whom TSA has issued a waiver. As the NPRM called for a collection of information under the PRA, TSA invited interested persons to submit written comments, including relevant data about the cost and hour burden of 16 CFR 37.65(a). 1001 of the REAL ID Modernization Act, Title X of Division U of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, Public Law 116–260, 134 Stat. 2304. 3 88 FR 60056 (Aug. 30, 2023). 2 Sec.

TSA is publishing this 30-day notice to provide the public additional opportunity to provide written comments directly to OMB. Through the NPRM, TSA proposed requiring States that seek a waiver to submit an application and supporting materials to TSA using the procedures in 6 CFR 37.9(a) and 37.10(a)–(b). This collection of the information will enable TSA to issue a waiver to States, and TSA will use all of the submitted documentation to evaluate a State’s request for a waiver, if and when the NPRM is made final. States would be required to submit information to TSA as part of their applications for a certificate of waiver for mDLs, as well as to comply with reporting requirements, and in response to TSA notices of suspension and termination. The NPRM also proposed continuing obligations on a State that has been issued a waiver that may require it to submit additional materials to TSA. Specifically, the NPRM, if finalized, would require the following information collections from States: (i) Submission of Initial Application and Audit Report (ii) Supplemental Submissions (iii) Request for Reconsideration of Denied Application (iv) Re-Application (v) Reporting of Significant Modifications to mDL Issuance Processes (vi) Reporting of Discovery of Significant Cyber Incident or Breach (vii) Responses to TSA Notices of Suspension and Termination Estimated Number of Respondents: 19.

Federal agencies from accepting, for official purposes, driver's 
licenses or identification cards that are not compliant with REAL ID 
requirements.\1\ In December 2020, the REAL ID Modernization Act 
clarified that mobile or digital driver's licenses or identification

subject to REAL ID requirements.\2\ This Act also amended the 
definitions of ``driver's license'' and ``identification card'' to 
specifically include mDLs that have been issued in accordance with 
regulations prescribed by the Secretary.

    The REAL ID Act was enacted, and DHS regulations issued, before the 
development of mDLs. As a result, many of the current regulation's 
security requirements for physical cards, such as physical security 
features to deter fraud and tampering, do not apply to mDLs. In the 
absence of regulatory requirements to address mDLs, States are unable 
to issue REAL ID-compliant mDLs. TSA has initiated a two-phased 
rulemaking to address this gap. The first phase enables States to apply 
to TSA for a temporary waiver of certain requirements in the 
regulations. In the second phase, TSA would repeal the waiver 
provisions established in the first phase and establish comprehensive 
requirements enabling States to issue mDLs that comply with REAL ID 
requirements.
    In August 2023, TSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking 
(NPRM) \3\ to amend the DHS REAL ID regulations as part of the multi-
phased approach to address mDLs. The NPRM proposed to waive, on a 
temporary and State-by-State basis, the regulatory requirement that 
mDLs must be compliant with REAL ID requirements to be accepted by 
Federal agencies for official purposes. The NPRM proposed the process 
and standards for the waiver to permit Federal agencies, at their 
discretion, to continue accepting for official purposes mDLs after May

requirements in the NPRM. TSA is publishing this 30-day notice to 
provide the public additional opportunity to provide written comments 
directly to OMB.
    Through the NPRM, TSA proposed requiring States that seek a waiver 
to submit an application and supporting materials to TSA using the 
procedures in 6 CFR 37.9(a) and 37.10(a)-(b). This collection of the 
information will enable TSA to issue a waiver to States, and TSA will 
use all of the submitted documentation to evaluate a State's request 
for a waiver, if and when the NPRM is made final. States would be 
required to submit information to TSA as part of their applications for 
a certificate of waiver for mDLs, as well as to comply with reporting 
requirements, and in response to TSA notices of suspension and 
termination. The NPRM also proposed continuing obligations on a State 
that has been issued a waiver that may require it to submit additional 
materials to TSA.
    Specifically, the NPRM, if finalized, would require the following 
information collections from States:

(i) Submission of Initial Application and Audit Report
(ii) Supplemental Submissions
(iii) Request for Reconsideration of Denied Application
(iv) Re-Application
(v) Reporting of Significant Modifications to mDL Issuance Processes
(vi) Reporting of Discovery of Significant Cyber Incident or Breach
(vii) Responses to TSA Notices of Suspension and Termination

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 19.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 245 hours annually.
