Under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA)and delegated authority from the Secretary of Homeland Security, TSA is tasked with developing policies,strategies, and plans for dealing with transportation security. TSA carries out this responsibility in the pipeline mode by assessing current industry security practices by way of its Pipeline Corporate Security Review (PCSR) program.
US Code:
49 USC 114(d)
Name of Law: US Code 49, Transportation
TSA was able to increase the number of PCSRs from 12 to 15 per year. Hour burden increased from 96 hours to 120 hours due to the increased number of reviews. The cost to the Federal Government increased from $69,389 to $86,742.70 for the same reason. TSA's 2011 submission to OMB erroneously listed the cost of hour burden to industry in Question 13 of the supporting statement. That cost has been removed from the current submission resulting in a decrease of $11,076.48 in cost burden.
