TSA Information Collection Request 03-20-09

Last Friday the Transportation Security Administration posted an information collection request (ICR) in the Federal Register. This is part of the process to get OMB approval to collect information from the public. In this instance the purpose is to get feedback from personnel that complete a voluntary security-related training course to the Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) motor carrier and shipper industry. This ICR was originally submitted back in November. Public comment by email is requested before April 20th. According to the ICR registered hazmat carriers and shippers will have three options to complete the training; instructor lead classes at sites around the country, DVD courses to be used at employer sites, or on-line courses. Further information on the classes will be made available by the TSA. This sounds like the motor carrier training that I have described in an earlier blog.
