DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Office of the Secretary

 
Lagos Airport Now Meets International Security Standards

SUMMARY: The Secretary of Transportation has now determined that 
Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, Nigeria, maintains and 
carries out effective security measures.

Notice

    By Orders 92-10-17, issued October 8, 1992, and 93-8-15, issued 
August 11, 1993, the Secretary of Transportation made public his 
determinations that Murtala Mohammed International Airport did not 
maintain and carry out effective security measures. I now find that 
Murtala Mohammed International Airport maintains and carries out 
effective security measures. My determination is based on a recent 
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) assessment which reveals that 
security measures used at the airport now meet or exceed the Standards 
established by the International Civil Aviation Organization. 
Accordingly, I am removing the prohibition on services between the 
United States and Murtala Mohammed International Airport imposed by 
Order 93-8-15 and the public notification requirements imposed by Order 
92-10-17.
    I have directed that a copy of this notice be published in the 
Federal Register and that the news media be notified of my 
determination. As a result of this determination, the FAA will direct 
that signs posted in the U.S. airports relating to the 1992 
determination be removed.

    Dated: December 22, 1999.
Rodney E. Slater,
Secretary of Transportation.
