The Implementing Recommendations of
the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (9/11 Act), requires the
development, submission to TSA for approval, and implementation of
a security training program for frontline employees of certain
surface transportation providers. Because of this mandate, TSA is
publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that would
require the collection of information to implement the regulatory
requirements.
TSA revised its burden
estimates from the previous Information Collection Request
submission in 2016. Data used in this submission are based on the
security programs’ training content being a combination of the
video and custom training, which increased the burden. TSA updated
the freight railroad and OTRB respondents (see question 12). In
addition, TSA updated the program creation and submission time for
freight rail, PTPR, and OTRB owner/operators. TSA updated the
program modification time for OTRB owner/operators. TSA updated the
BLS wages and TSA team lead and analyst average compensation
rates.
