This collection is approved for one year. Consistent with the Surface Transportation Security Priority Assessment Implementation Plan, TSA should work with the DoT to implement an integrated Federal approach for security assessments, audits, and inspections to produce more thorough evaluations and effective follow-up actions for reducing risk, enhancing security, and minimizing burdens on assessed surface transportation entities. TSA should also coordinate data requests with the established single data repository to avoid redundant efforts, take advantage of existing data sets, and establish data access control. Within six months TSA should provide to OMB a status report regarding these efforts.

TSA needs the results of the CSR program questions to establish the current state of security practices for highway modes of transportation. TSA will then be able to make policy and programmatic decisions to improve the overall security posture within the surface transportation community. The data collected also can be utilized to develop security practice assessments and issue security guidelines, best practices, and lessons learned for the stakeholder community. Respondents are major transportation asset owners and operators.
