Short Statement:
TSA revised its burden estimates from the previous Information Collection Request submission in 2016. Data used in this submission are based on the security programs’ training content being a combination of the video and custom training, which increased the burden. TSA updated the freight railroad and OTRB respondents (see question 12). In addition, TSA updated the program creation and submission time for freight rail, PTPR, and OTRB owner/operators. TSA updated the program modification time for OTRB owner/operators. TSA updated the BLS wages and TSA team lead and analyst average compensation rates.
