Form(s): TSA Forms 1427 and 1430. Affected Public: Individuals with transportation security responsibilities, such as aircraft operators, airport security coordinators, and international transportation security coordinators. Abstract: TSA’s infoBoards were developed by TSA as part of the agency’s broad responsibilities and authorities under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, and delegated authority from the Secretary of Homeland Security, for ‘‘security in all modes of transportation . . . including security responsibilities . . . over modes of transportation that are exercised by the Department of Transportation.’’ 1 TSA infoBoards are designed to serve stakeholders in the transportation security community and are used to disseminate mission-critical information. The availability of infoBoards provides an information sharing forum supporting coordination and collaboration with TSA and TSA’s stakeholders—including industry, Federal agencies, and State and Local governments—and are located in a secure online environment, the Homeland Security Information Network. Accessing and using TSA infoBoards is completely voluntary; TSA does not require participation. TSA uses TSA Form 1427, TSA infoBoards User Account Request/ Renewal, to collect two types of information through TSA infoBoards: (1) user registration information and (2) user’s choice of ‘‘communities.’’ TSA also uses TSA Form 1430, Computer 1 See Public Law 107–71 (115 Stat. 597, Nov. 19, 2001), codified at 49 U.S.C. 114 (d).
