Upon resubmission, TSA must update the supporting statement to reflect burden estimates for the approval period. While TSA states that estimates remain static, the supporting statement currently shows estimates from 2009-2011. The next submission should estimate burden hours and cost for years 2012, 2013, and 2014.

TSA is amending the Transportation Security Regulations to establish security threat assessment standards for determining whether an individual poses a security threat warranting denial of a hazardous materials endorsement for a commercial driver's license (CDL). This rule will require the collection of information from both individual truck drivers and states that issue hazmat endorsements.
The program has been in operation for five years, and is using actual data to predict future burden. Prior reporting and cost burden was based on estimates prior to program launch.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
