Short Statement:
As a result of the GAO report (GAO 20-404), TSA modified the cybersecurity section of the BASE. TSA added additional questions, resulting in an increase in the public hour burden. In addition, TSA developed the cybersecurity annex questions for stakeholders concerned about their cybersecurity posture, and who are opting for a cybersecurity in-depth review. These changes resulted in an increase in the public hour burden.
