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
collection and remittance. |

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 document amends aviation
security requirements concerning passenger and accessible property screening
in certain private charter passenger operations. TSA issued the existing
standard in June 2002, which requires private charter operators using
aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 95,000 pounds or more,
to ensure that passengers and their carry-on baggage are screened prior to
boarding. TSA is amending the rule to adopt an international standard, and so
now private charter operations in aircraft with a maximum certificated
takeoff weight greater than 45,500 kg (100,309.3 pounds), or with a passenger
seating configuration of 61 or more will be subject to this rule. As a result
of this change, additional aircraft are now covered by the rule that were not
previously subject to it. TSA is establishing a new compliance date for
operators of these aircraft, in order to provide them sufficient time to
develop procedures required by this rule and the security program. Also, under
this amendment, non-TSA screeners are permissible in certain circumstances.
Finally, if an operator cannot complete the required training for screeners
by December 1, 2002, the rule now provides for an extension of time to
complete the training. |

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. |

Summary: This action provides the process
by which the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will notify the
citizen holder of, or applicant for, a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
certificate, and the FAA, if the TSA has determined that the certificate
holder poses a security threat. This process, in the normal case, would offer
the certificate holder the opportunity to respond to the initial
notification. This rulemaking coordinates with FAA rulemaking 2120-AH84. |
