TSA Seeks OMB Approval for Interagency 'Insider Threat' Reporting Portal
Department of Homeland Security
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is moving to formalize a new intelligence-gathering mechanism.
Facing a June 22, 2026, public comment deadline, the agency issued a 60-day notice requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for its "Insider Threat Incident Reporting Tool."
This creates a direct, public-facing online portal. Submitters provide personal details and situational data regarding suspected threats, and the agency requires a formal attestation of truth for all submissions.
Crucially, the TSA seeks to classify this as a "Common Form" which allows other federal agencies, such as the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), to adopt the tool without initiating a separate, lengthy OMB approval process.
The scope is exceptionally broad. An "insider" is any person who has or who had authorized access to any DHS facility, information, equipment, network, or system.
This legal classification captures anyone, past or present, including detailed or assigned personnel, suspected of wittingly or unwittingly leveraging that access to harm departmental missions, facilities, or networks.
The overarching program operates as a multi-jurisdictional partnership integrating the TSA, mass transit, aviation, and maritime sectors, alongside state and local law enforcement.
The agency anticipates roughly 312 annual respondents utilizing the secure internal network drive, estimating a nominal 10-minute administrative burden per submission.
