Yesterday, OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had approved an information collection request (ICR) revision/update from the TSA for the “Security Threat Assessment for Individuals Applying for a Hazardous Materials Endorsement for a Commercial Driver's License”. The revision was needed because the introduction of an on-line renewal program reduced the time necessary to collect the information and the cost of renewing the HME vetting.
Commentary
I do not know why I am so prone to digging into the TSA’s
ICR Notices. I ignored the 60-day
and 30-day
notices for this ICR when they were published in the Federal Register. From a
quick review of the data presented in those documents, it did not seem that
there was going to be anything of interest beyond the decrease in the reported burden
estimates due to the online renewal process. But, as has almost always been the
case, digging into the approved ICR provides some interesting information.
For more details about the information presented in the ICR
data, including a reported decline in the number of HME’s and an explanation
for the increase in the number of estimated responses, see my article at CFSN
