common culture at the Department as

how the department should respond
and prepare the public. In those
discussions various speakers from the
Department and outside will discuss the
current trends in terrorism as well as
how various companies and

are likely to be discussed as well as how

collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Purpose of Data Collection
In order to provide a useful public
Web site, TSA seeks to administer two
data collections to obtain feedback
concerning the usability, content, focus
and satisfaction of passengers who use
TSA’s Web site, titled ‘‘Web site Focus
Groups’’ and ‘‘Web site Online Survey.’’
TSA will use the data collected through
these collection methods to deliver
effective and engaging information to
meet customers’ needs and
continuously improve TSA’s Web site
usability.

Description of Data Collection
TSA intends to collect data via the
following instruments:
(1) Web site Focus Groups. TSA
intends to conduct focus groups in a
metropolitan area in each of TSA’s three
regions: East, Midwest, and West. TSA,
through consultants, will administer the
usability focus groups, one per region,
by having volunteers use computers to
access the TSA Web site under close
supervision. Volunteers will provide
both verbal and written feedback to the
individuals administering the session.
Participants will be selected randomly,
at different travel times, from different
locations, so that the sample includes
individuals traveling throughout the
day.
Participation will be voluntary. TSA
Headquarters will supply an
independent, paid consultant to lead the
user focus groups. These consultants
will handle the data collected during
focus groups and provide TSA with
analysis of the results in order to ensure
the results are free of bias and present
a truly accurate representation of the
focus group responses. A TSA
representative will be present at each
focus group to monitor the consultants
responsible for conducting the focus
groups and synthesizing the results, and
to ensure the data collection is
conducted in a professional manner and
follows best practices for conducting
focus group research.
Focus groups will be conducted at
various dates, times, and locations to
provide a general representation of all
customer preferences and not one
particular group or subset of the
population. TSA intends to conduct 15
user focus groups annually, each with a
target of 10 total participant hours,
based on an estimate of a 1 hour burden
per respondent. TSA estimates a
maximum total annual burden of 150
hours (10 participants times 15 focus
group sessions equals 150 hours total).

There is no burden on those who choose
not to be involved in the focus groups.
(2) Web site Online Survey. TSA also
will conduct voluntary Web site surveys
to collect data for improved content and
usability. The surveys will be available
via the TSA Web site (http://
www.tsa.gov). Participation by Web site
users will be voluntary. TSA
Headquarters will provide a list of
approximately 20 approved questions,
from which the TSA Web Director will
configure an online survey available to
Web site users who choose to provide
their feedback.
Surveys will comprise an
approximate five-minute burden per
respondent and an aggregate burden of
34 hours per year, based on an
estimated 400 online surveys
voluntarily completed per year (400
surveys times 5 minutes per survey
equals 2000 minutes total, which is then
divided by 60 minutes, resulting in 34
hours total). There is no burden on users
who choose not to participate.
Use of Results
TSA Headquarters will use the focus
group and survey results to evaluate and
improve Web site content and usability,
both via formal, rigorous usability
performance measurement, and via
targeted responses to problems and
areas of opportunity that are identified.
TSA senior management, the TSA Web
Director in the Office of Strategic
Communication and Public Affairs, and
the Office of the Chief Information
Officer, will use the results of the Web
site Focus Groups and the Web site
Online Survey to create a Web site
usability and utility index, i.e., a
summary of performance measures. TSA
will use this index to evaluate the
impact of Web site content and layout
as TSA makes further strides to address
public demand for convenient access to
information via the Web.
