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. The ICR documentation will be
made 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.
Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0057;
Exercise Information System. EXIS is an
internet-accessible knowledgemanagement system developed by TSA
to serve its relevant stakeholders (such
as members of the transportation
industry, port authorities, Federal
agencies, and State, local, territorial,
and tribal governments). EXIS integrates
security-related training and exercise
components constituting Sensitive
Security Information (SSI).1 It gives
stakeholders valuable security exercise
scenarios and objectives, best practices
and lessons learned, and a repository of
the users’ own historical exercise data
for use in future exercises.
Transportation industry stakeholders
can choose scenarios and objectives
based on their vulnerabilities, mode of
transportation, and the size of their
operation.
TSA will collect five types of
information through EXIS. The
collection is voluntary. While EXIS
users are not required to provide all
1 SSI is information which, if publicly released,
would be detrimental to transportation security,
and is defined at 49 U.S.C. 114(r) and 49 CFR part
1520.

information requested, if users choose to
withhold information, they may not
receive the benefits of EXIS associated
with that information collection.
1. User registration information.
Because EXIS includes SSI information,
TSA must collect information upon
registration to ensure only those
members of the transportation
community with a relevant interest in
conducting security training exercises,
and with an appropriate level of need to
access security training information, are
provided access to EXIS.
TSA collects: The User’s Name,
Agency/Organization Name and Type,
Job Title, Supervisor or other Sponsor’s
Name, Professional Phone Number,
Professional Email Address,
Employment Verification Contact Name,
Employment Verification Contact
Information, and the Reason for Needing
an EXIS account. In addition, the
following optional registration
information can be added by the user:
Professional (business), Country, City,
State, Zip Code, Mobile Phone Number,
Alternate Email, and Preferred
Transportation Sector.
2. Desired nature and scope of the
exercise. TSA collects this information
to generate an EXIS training exercise
appropriate for the particular user.
Users are asked to submit their desired
transportation mode, exercise
properties, objectives, scenario events,
and participating agencies/attendees.
3. Corrective actions/lessons learned/
best practices. TSA collects this
information to document and share the
users’ ideas and methods for improving
transportation security with other
transportation stakeholders in the wider
EXIS user base. The TSA Intermodal
Security Training and Exercise Program
office may send lessons learned and best
practices to subject matter experts
within TSA for review. Once the
information is reviewed, any company
or user identifying information is
removed and the content is published to
the site for all users to access.
4. Evaluation feedback. TSA collects
this information for the purpose of
evaluating the usefulness of EXIS in
facilitating security training exercises
for the users. TSA can then modify EXIS
to better suit its users’ needs.
5. After-Action Reports (AARs). The
EXIS automatically summarizes
information from items (2) and (3)
mentioned above in order to create
formal AARs for users. These AARs
include an exercise overview, goals and
objectives, scenario event synopsis,
analysis of critical issues, exercise
design characteristics, conclusions, and
the executive summary. The AAR is the
output of the exercise process.

Stakeholders use the report to identify
strengths or areas in which they can
assign resources to mitigate risk and
enhance the security posture within
their organization.
Based on industry population
estimates and growth rates, and interest
generated amongst the transportation
modes during the years following EXIS’
release to the public, TSA estimates that
there will be approximately 11,500 full
access and limited access users in Year
1; 14,350 users in Year 2; and 18,250
users in Year 3, for an average annual
respondents estimate of 14,700. TSA
estimates a proportion of full access
users and limited access users will
spend approximately 3.5 hours per EXIS
user inputting the information described
above. TSA estimates limited access
users will also spend approximately
0.25 hours completing a survey. Given
this information, the annual hourly
burden for EXIS’s collection of
information is 7,090.63 hours.

OMB Control Number 1652–0028,
Flight Crew Self-Defense Training—
Registration and Evaluation. TSA is
seeking an extension of the ICR,
currently approved under OMB control
number 1652–0028, to continue
compliance with a statutory mandate.
Under 49 U.S.C. 44918(b), TSA is
required to develop and provide a
voluntary advanced self-defense
training program for flight and cabin
crew members of air carriers providing
scheduled passenger air transportation.
TSA must collect specific information
to provide the program to eligible
participants, as well as assess training
quality. This information includes
limited biographical information from
flight and cabin crew members to

confirm their eligibility to participate in
this training. TSA uses the information
to confirm the eligibility of the
participant by contacting the
participant’s employer.
TSA collects the following
information at the time of registration
online: name of the crew member,
airline affiliation, position, crew
member airline identification (ID)
number, crew member contact
information (home mailing address,
home telephone number and/or email
address), and the city and state of the
TSA Law Enforcement/Federal Air
Marshals Service field office where the
course will be taken. Upon attending
class, crew members are asked to show
ID to verify their identity against
registration records and to sign the class
attendance roster.
In addition, TSA asks each crew
member to complete an Injury Waiver
Form during the registration process, or
before the training is conducted. The
Injury Waiver Form requests the
employee’s airline, airline ID number,
signature, and date, and is intended to
limit any liability to TSA or its facilities
should a crew member become injured
during the training.
TSA also asks trainees to complete a
voluntary evaluation of the training
upon completion of the course.
Participants may assess the training
quality and provide anonymous and
voluntary comments by clicking on the
electronic feedback link located on the
registration site.
The estimated number of annual
respondents is 3,500 and estimated
annual burden is 350 hours. TSA
estimates the online registration
requires five (5) minutes and the injury
waiver and class roster sign-in process
requires one (1) minute per crew
member. This amounts to 350 hours
[(3,500 crew members × 6 minutes)].
Although using the course feedback tab
is strictly voluntary, TSA estimates ten
(10) minutes per crew member for those
who complete the evaluation, and 10
crew members will complete the
evaluation each year for a total of 1.67
hours (10 crew members × 10 minutes).
TSA estimates the total annual hours for
this information collection to be 361.67
(350 +1.67).
