        <RULE_TITLE>Security Programs for Aircraft Weighing 12,500 Pounds or More</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 22, 2002, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) published the interim final rule, known as the "Twelve-Five Rule," which requires operators of aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 12,500 pounds or more to implement a TSA-approved security program, known as the "Twelve-Five Security Program."  The rule also requires that certain aircraft operators conduct criminal history records checks on their flight crew members, and restrict access to the flight deck. These measures were necessary to comply with congressional mandates and to enhance security in air transportation. 

Security programs constitute sensitive security information (SSI), which is disclosed only to persons with a need to know, in accordance with 49 CFR part 1520.  Therefore, the proposed Twelve-Five Security Program was distributed, for comment only, to the operators subject to the rule.  TSA responded to the comments received, but because the comments and responses contained SSI, they were not made public.  TSA amended the program, where appropriate, to accommodate the comments received on the security program.  TSA provided the final security program to affected entities, and completed a training program for the operators to use to ensure that they operate in accordance with the final security program.  In addition, TSA developed a fingerprint collection process that enables all affected operators to complete the fingerprint-based criminal history records checks of their flight crew members, as required by the Twelve-Five Rule.  Affected operators were required to be in compliance with the rule by April 1, 2003.]]></ABSTRACT>
