Title: Civil Aviation Security Rules 
Abstract: On February 22, 2002, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) published a final rule with a request for comment. This final rule transferred the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) rules (14 CFR 91, 107, 108, 109, 121, 129, 135, 139, 191) governing civil aviation security to TSA (49 CFR parts 1500, 1520, 1540, 1542, 1544, 1546, 1548, 1550). ATSA mandated the transfer of these aviation security responsibilities from FAA to TSA.  This final rule made some revisions to the FAA rules in order to enhance security as required by ATSA (Pub. L. 107-71; Nov. 19, 2001). The ATSA required that by November 19, 2002, the responsibility for inspecting persons and property carried by aircraft operators and foreign air carriers be transferred to TSA and that TSA employees (or companies under contract with TSA) conduct the inspection and screening. In response to the 2002 final rule, TSA received 11 comments. TSA is preparing to publish another final rule that closes out the 2002 final rule.
