Intent To Request Approval From OMB
of One New Public Collection of
Information: Pipeline Security
Awareness (CD–1) Effectiveness
Assessment
Transportation Security
Administration, DHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

SUMMARY: The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) invites public
comment on a new information
collection requirement abstracted below
that we will submit to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
approval in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act.
DATES: Send your comments by April 2,
2007.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed
or delivered to Katrina Kletzly,
Attorney-Advisor, Office of the Chief
Counsel, TSA–2, Transportation
Security Administration, 601 South
12th Street, Arlington, VA 22202–4220.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Katrina Kletzly at the above address, or
by telephone (571) 227–1995 or
facsimile (571) 227–1381.
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. 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
Purpose of Data Collection
As prescribed by the President in
Homeland Security Presidential
Directive 7 (HSPD–7), the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) was tasked to
protect our nation’s critical
infrastructure and key resources (CI/
KR). Through the National
Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP),
DHS gives a guidance and direction as
to how the Nation will secure its
infrastructure. Furthermore, HSPD–7
and the NIPP assigned the responsibility
for infrastructure security in the
transportation sector to TSA. To this
effect, the NIPP further tasks each sector
to build security partnerships, set
security goals and to measure their
effectiveness. Through its Corporate
Security Review Program, TSA has
conducted reviews of numerous
pipeline systems in which various
aspects of each company’s security
program are analyzed. Through this
review process, TSA has determined
that improved security awareness
training for pipeline company
employees would be useful. The OMB
control number assigned to the
Corporate Security Review Program is
1652–0036. To increase the security
awareness levels across the pipeline
industry, TSA plans to develop and
distribute a Security Awareness
Training compact disk (CD–1) to
interested pipeline companies. In order
to measure the effectiveness of CD–1 on
raising company security awareness,
TSA will solicit voluntary feedback
from pipeline companies seeking to
utilize the CD–1.
In order to participate, interested
companies may respond to TSA’s
announcements regarding the CD–1
availability and ordering instructions
through all applicable pipeline industry
Web sites. The CD–1 training will be
available to all pipeline companies
upon request to TSA. Participation in
the feedback survey will also be
voluntary to those pipeline companies
that requested and received the CD.
TSA will collect the feedback
regarding CD–1 performance via online
survey, which will be managed by a
contracted third-party survey company.
The survey results will be used to guide
TSA on future pipeline transportation
security initiatives. TSA plans to
conduct the data collection over a twoto three-year period in order to allow for

maximum distribution and use of CD–
1 throughout the industry, and for
participating companies to complete full
training cycles.

mstockstill on PROD1PC62 with NOTICES

Description of Data Collection
TSA will ask participating companies
that complete the Security Awareness
Training CD–1, to log on to a TSAmanaged secure Web site to provide
feedback on the effectiveness of the
training.
Respondent companies may respond
with feedback in one of two ways: (1)
They may choose to submit one
subjective, corporate response as to the
employee participation levels or
effectiveness of the CD–1 (i.e., the CD–
1 significantly increased the security
awareness levels for a majority of
Company X’s employees); or (2) they
may provide objective information
based on their company’s own survey of
its employees. For metrics purposes,
TSA will also request that participating
companies provide the total number of
company employees, the number of
employees who have completed the CD–
1 training, and the numbers of projected
employees that will complete the
training in the future. In many cases, a
single company may own more than one
pipeline transmission or local
distribution system, thus, a single CD–
1 and corresponding effectiveness
survey responses may represent more
than one individual pipeline system. In
order to discern the total number of
pipeline companies utilizing the CD–1,
TSA will inquire as to the number of
individual pipeline systems that will be
using the CD–1, in the event a parent
company is requesting the CD. However,
because participation in the CD–1
training and providing feedback in
voluntary (that is, some companies that
may utilize the CD–1 may not provide
feedback), the TSA metrics will be
based solely on companies that provide
feedback.
In order for interested companies to
submit information, TSA will set up a
separate file for each company on the
secure Web site into which each
company can provide feedback. TSA
will provide each company or
individual pipeline system with a
password in order to access their
individual company or system file.
Companies/individual systems may
access and update the information
contained within their file at any time.
The name of the participation company
or point or contact information will be
collected only for the purpose of setting
up the company feedback file and for
identify verification when companies
log onto the Web site.

Use of Results
The primary use of this information is
to allow TSA to assess the effect of the
CD–1 project on raising the baseline
level of security awareness within the
pipeline industry. The secondary
purpose of this information is for TSA
to obtain, based on individual company
input, an indication of CD–1 user
participation and employee
participation levels throughout the
pipeline industry.
Frequency
Most companies administer their
security awareness training curriculum
on an annual or biannual cycle.
Therefore, a company would provide
TSA sufficient feedback approximately
every two years. Typically, companies
will generate quarterly or annual reports
on employee training progress. Thus,
companies may submit updated
feedback between one and four times
per year, which TSA equates to an
average frequency for this collection of
two times per year. The time companies
expend to respond to this collection will
vary slightly depending on whether a
company chooses to submit an overall
company subjective opinion response
provided by a knowledgeable corporate
official, or an objective response based
on results of its own training feedback
survey. However, if a company chooses
to submit one overall company opinion,
it is likely that a person with some
familiarity with the company’s security
posture will be responsible for
providing the feedback survey.
Regardless of whether a company
submits an objective response based on
the results of its own training course
survey, or an opinion of one corporate
official, the only time expenditure
required would result from
electronically entering the requested
information on the TSA survey Web
site. This is because the information
gathered will already be in the
possession of the company and
therefore, impart no additional burden
on the respondent.
Out of approximately 2,200
individual pipeline companies, TSA
estimates that on an annual basis an
average of 300 companies will provide
feedback on the CD–1. TSA estimates
the average hour burden per response
per pipeline company or system will be
approximately 20 minutes. Assuming
that, on average, a company will update
their feedback twice per year, TSA
estimates the total annual hour burden
will be 40 minutes per pipeline
company or system. Therefore, TSA
estimates the total annual hour burden
will be approximately 200 hours per
