Information Collection Requirement
Title: TSA infoBoards.
Type of Request: Extension of a collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652-0065.
Form(s): TSA Forms 1427 and 1430.
Affected Public: Individuals with transportation security
responsibilities, such as aircraft operators, airport security

Abstract: TSA's infoBoards were developed by TSA as part of the
agency's broad responsibilities and authorities under the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act, and delegated authority from the Secretary
of Homeland Security, for ``security in all modes of transportation . .
. including security responsibilities . . . over modes of
transportation that are exercised by the Department of
Transportation.'' \1\ TSA infoBoards are designed to serve stakeholders
in the transportation security community and are used to disseminate
mission-critical information. The availability of infoBoards provides
an information sharing forum supporting coordination and collaboration
with TSA and TSA's stakeholders--including industry, Federal agencies,
and State and Local governments--and are located in a secure online
environment, the Homeland Security Information Network. Accessing and
using TSA infoBoards is completely voluntary; TSA does not require
participation.

\1\ See Public Law 107-71 (115 Stat. 597, Nov. 19, 2001),
codified at 49 U.S.C. 114 (d). The TSA Assistant Secretary's current
authorities under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act have
been delegated to him by the Secretary of Homeland Security. Section
403(2) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Pub. L. 107-296 (116
Stat. 2315, Nov. 25, 2002), transferred all functions of TSA,
including those of the Secretary of Transportation and the Under
Secretary of Transportation of Security related to TSA, to the
Secretary of Homeland Security. Pursuant to DHS Delegation Number
7060.2, the Secretary delegated to the Assistant Secretary (then
referred to as the Administrator of TSA), subject to the Secretary's
guidance and control, the authority vested in the Secretary with
respect to TSA, including that in section 403(2) of the Homeland
Security Act.
