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 rule requires that certain
aircraft operators using aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weigh
of 12,500 pounds or more carry out security measures. This rule requires 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 rule amends 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 are 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. |
