Background
On January 30, 2017, President Trump
issued Executive Order 13771,
‘‘Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs.’’ Under that Executive
Order, for every one new regulation
issued, at least two prior regulations
must be identified for elimination, and
the cost of planned regulations must be
prudently managed and controlled
through a budgeting process. On
February 24, 2017, the President issued
Executive Order 13777, ‘‘Enforcing the
Regulatory Reform Agenda.’’ That
Executive Order directs agencies to take
specific steps to identify and alleviate
unnecessary regulatory burdens placed
on the American people. On March 28,
2017, the President issued Executive
Order 13783, ‘‘Promoting Energy
Independence and Economic Growth.’’
Executive Order 13783 promotes the
clean and safe development of our
Nation’s vast energy resources, while at
the same time avoiding agency actions
that unnecessarily encumber energy
production.
When implementing the regulatory
offsets required by Executive Order
13771, each agency head is directed to
prioritize, to the extent permitted by
law, those regulations that the agency’s
Regulatory Reform Task Force identifies
as outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective
in accordance with Executive Order
13777. As part of this process to comply
with all three Executive Orders, the U.S.
Coast Guard is reaching out through
multiple avenues to interested
individuals to gather their input about
what regulations, guidance, and
information collections, they believe
may need to be repealed, replaced, or
modified. On June 8, 2017, the U.S.
Coast Guard issued a general notice in
the Federal Register requesting
comments from interested individuals
regarding their recommendations, 82 FR
26632. In addition to this general
solicitation, the U.S. Coast Guard also
wants to leverage the expertise of its
Federal Advisory Committees and is
issuing similar tasks to each of its
Committees. A detailed discussion of
each of the Executive orders and
information on where U.S. Coast Guard
regulations, guidance, and information
collections are found is in the June 8th
notice.
The Task
NBSAC is tasked to:

Jkt 241001

Provide input to the U.S. Coast Guard
on all existing regulations, guidance,
and information collections that fall
within the scope of the Council’s
charter.
1. One or more subcommittees/
working groups, as needed, will be
established to work on this tasking in
accordance with the Council charter
and bylaws. The subcommittee(s) shall
terminate upon the approval and
submission of a final recommendation
to the U.S. Coast Guard from the parent
Council.
2. Review regulations, guidance, and
information collections and provide
recommendations whether an existing
rule, information collection, or guidance
should be repealed, replaced or
modified. If the Council recommends
modification, please provide specific
recommendations for how the
regulation, information collection, or
guidance should be modified.
Recommendations should include an
explanation on how and to what extent
repeal, replacement or modification will
reduce costs or burdens to industry and
the extent to which risks to health or
safety would likely increase.
a. Identify regulations, guidance, or
information collections that potentially
impose the following types of burden on
the industry:
i. Regulations, guidance, or
information collections imposing
administrative burdens on the industry.
ii. Regulations, guidance, or
information collections imposing
burdens in the development or use of
domestically produced energy
resources. ‘‘Burden,’’ for the purposes of
compliance with Executive Order 13783,
means ‘‘to unnecessarily obstruct, delay,
curtail, or otherwise impose significant
costs on the siting, permitting,
production, utilization, transmission, or
delivery of energy resources.’’
b. Identify regulations, guidance, or
information collections that potentially
impose the following types of costs on
the industry:
i. Regulations, guidance, or
information collections imposing costs
that are outdated (such as due to
technological advancement), or are no
longer necessary.
ii. Regulations, guidance, or
information collections imposing costs
which are no longer enforced as written
or which are ineffective.
iii. Regulations, guidance, or
information collections imposing costs
tied to reporting or recordkeeping
requirements that impose burdens that
exceed benefits. Explain why the
reporting or recordkeeping requirement
is overly burdensome, unnecessary, or
how it could be modified.

c. Identify regulations, guidance, and
information collections that the Council
believes have led to the elimination of
jobs or inhibits job creation within a
particular industry.
3. All regulations, guidance, and
information collections, or parts thereof,
recommended by the Council should be
described in sufficient detail (by section,
paragraph, sentence, clause, etc.) so
that it can readily be identified. Data
(quantitative or qualitative) should be
provided to support and illustrate the
impact, cost, or burden, as applicable,
for each recommendation. If the data is
not readily available, the Council
should include information as to how
such information can be obtained either
by the Council or directly by Coast
Guard.

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. The ICR documentation will be
available at http://www.reginfo.gov
upon its submission to OMB. 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.

Critical Facility Information of the Top
100 Most Critical Pipelines: The 9/11
Act specifically tasked TSA to develop
and implement a plan for reviewing the
pipeline security plans and an

inspection of the critical facilities of the
100 most critical pipeline systems.1
Pipeline operators have determined
which facilities qualify as critical
facilities based on guidance and criteria
set forth in the TSA Pipeline Security
Guidelines published in April 2011. To
execute the 9/11 Act mandate, TSA
visits critical pipeline facilities and
collects site-specific information from
pipeline operators on facility security
policies, procedures, and physical
security measures.
TSA is seeking OMB approval to
continue to collect facility security
information during the site visits using
a Critical Facility Security Review
(CFSR) form. The CFSR will look at
individual pipeline facility security
measures and procedures.2 This
collection is voluntary. Information
collected from the reviews will be
analyzed and used to determine
strengths and weaknesses at the nation’s
critical pipeline facilities, areas to target
for risk reduction strategies, pipeline
industry implementation of the
voluntary guidelines, and the potential
need for regulations in accordance with
the 9/11 Act provision previously cited.
TSA is also seeking OMB approval to
continue its follow up procedure with
pipeline operators on their
implementation of security
improvements and recommendations
made during facility visits. During
critical facility visits, TSA documents
and provides recommendations to
improve the security posture of the
facility. TSA intends to continue to
follow up with pipeline operators via
email on their status toward
implementation of the
recommendations made during the
critical facility visits. The follow up will
be conducted between approximately 12
and 24 months after the facility visit.
The information provided by
operators for each information
collection is Sensitive Security
Information (SSI), and it will be
protected in accordance with
procedures meeting the transmission,
handling, and storage requirements of
SSI set forth in 49 CFR parts 15 and
1520.
The annual burden for the approval of
the information collection related to the
CFSR form is estimated to be 320 hours.
sec. 1557 of the 9/11 Act (Pub. L. 110–53,
121 Stat. 266, 475, Aug. 3, 2007), codified at 6
U.S.C. 1207.
2 The CFSR differs from a Corporate Security
Review (CSR) conducted by TSA in another
pipeline information collection that looks at
corporate or company-wide security management
plans and practices. See OMB Control No. 1652–
0056 at https://www.reginfo.gov for the PRA
approval of information collection for pipeline
CSRs.

TSA will conduct a maximum of 80
facility reviews each year, with each
review taking approximately 4 hours (80
× 4). This is a change from the 90 facility
reviews that was previously conducted.
The annual burden for the approval of
the information collection related to the
follow up on the recommendations
made to facility operators is estimated to
be 400 hours. TSA estimates each
operator will spend approximately 5
hours to submit a response to TSA
regarding its voluntary implementation
of security recommendations made
during critical facility visits. If a
maximum of 80 critical facilities are
reviewed each year, and TSA follows up
with each facility operator between
approximately 12 and 24 months
following the visit, the total annual
burden is 400 (80 × 5) hours.
The estimated number of respondents
will be 80 for the CFSR form and 80 for
the recommendations follow-up, for a
total of 160 respondents. The total
estimated burden is 720 hours annually,
320 hours for the CFSR form, plus 400
hours for the recommendations followup procedure.
Consistent with the requirements of
Executive Order (EO) 13771, Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs, and EO 13777, Enforcing the
Regulatory Reform Agenda, TSA is also
requesting comments on the extent to
which this request for information could
be streamlined to reduce this burden.
