Short Statement:
TSA has updated its burden estimates with new data because TWIC® cardholders as of CY 2021 will have the option of renewing online, whereas currently all renewals must be in person. TSA modified the estimates to include online renewals, as well as reduced the fee for renewals. TSA also modified the collection to reflect a reduction for Section 809 Merchant Mariners who do not request a credential and therefore save $27 in credential fees. As a result, burden estimates listed here and in the 30-Day Notice are different than what TSA described in the 60-Day Notice.
