TSA originally had two BASE collections, namely Public Transportation BASE (former TSA OMB control number 1652-0061) and Highway BASE (TSA OMB control number 1652-0062). In order to simplify the collection and reduce duplication, TSA has combined these two previously-approved Information Collection Requests into a single request, under TSA OMB control number 1652-0062. As such the burden of OMB control number 1652-0062 has changed to include the burden of Public Transportation 1652-0061.
