DOT/FAA RIN: 2120-AI66 Publication ID: Fall 2008 
Title: Security-Related Considerations in the Design and Operation of Transport Category Airplanes 
Abstract: This rulemaking would implement certain security-related requirements governing the design of transport category airplanes. The requirements would provide improved airplane design features and greater protection of the cabin, flightdeck, and cargo compartments from the detonation of explosive or incendiary devices, penetration by projectiles, and intrusion by unauthorized persons. The FAA would also require operators to establish a "least-risk bomb location" on all affected airplanes and to incorporate certain information into relevant manuals. This rule would adopt several International Civil Aviation Organization standards and harmonize FAA and international regulations.
