Summary: TSA previously imposed a
$2.50 security service fee on airline passengers for tickets sold starting
in February 2002 as required by the Aviation and Transportation Security
Act (ATSA). This rulemaking would implement the specific requirements for

Summary: This rulemaking would provide
additional guidance for completing Appendix A of the Interim Final Rule
regarding the Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee. That rule requires
carriers to provide information on their costs related to passenger and
property screening for 2000. This guidance would not impose any additional
requirements. | |||||||||||||||||

Summary: This rulemaking transfers the
FAA's rules governing civil aviation security to TSA. This rulemaking also
amends those rules to enhance security as required by recent legislation.
This rulemaking also requires additional qualifications, training, and
testing of individuals who screen persons and property that are carried in
passenger aircraft. It is intended to improve the quality of screening
conducted by aircraft operators and foreign air carriers. This rule is
being adopted to improve the qualifications of individuals performing
screening, and thereby to improve the level of security in air
transportation. This will help ensure a smooth transition of aviation
security from the FAA to TSA and avoid disruptions in air transportation
due to any shortage of qualified screeners. | |||||||||||||||||

Summary: This rulemaking would require
that certain aircraft operators using aircraft with a maximum certificated
takeoff weigh of 12,500 pounds or more carry out security measures. This
rulemaking would require that certain aircraft operators conduct criminal
history records checks on their flightcrew members and restrict access to
the flight deck. These measures are necessary to comply with Congressional
mandates and to enhance security in air transportation. | |||||||||||||||||

Summary: This rulemaking would amend
the rules applying to private charter aircraft to increase the level of
security required in private charter operations. Aircraft operators using
aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 95,000 pounds or
more, except a government charter, will now be required to ensure that
passengers and their accessible property are screened before boarding.
Given the current security risks, the potential for damage these larger
aircraft can cause, and the need to protect areas that are designated as
sterile, TSA believes it is now appropriate to require these operators to
ensure that passengers and their accessible property are screened.
Individuals would be required to submit to screening prior to boarding a
private charter aircraft under this rule. | |||||||||||||||||

Summary: This rulemaking would amend
the rules applying to airports and aircraft operators that require
fingerprint-based criminal history records checks (CHRC) for certain
individuals with access to secured areas in airports. It would require
individuals who regularly have escorted access to secured areas to undergo
CHRC and to wear an individual badge. Also, it would amend the standards
for "escorting" to reduce the likelihood that persons under escort in
secured areas could threaten or endanger security. It would respond to a
statutory mandate and it would enhance aviation security. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Summary: This rulemaking would amend
the regulation governing the protection of sensitive security information
(SSI) to expand the regulation's coverage to security information related
to non-aviation modes of transportation. The current regulation covers
information primarily related to aviation security. This rulemaking would
make several revisions to the regulation. In addition, in order to
implement its new statutory authority to protect sensitive security
information in all modes of transportation, TSA will amend the SSI
regulation to specifically cover information in all modes regulated by the
Department of Transportation and relevant entities in those modes that may
create and receive SSI. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
