<p>In 2004, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and&nbsp;Office of the Secretary of Transportation (OST) published an interim final rule (IFR) governing the protection of sensitive security information (SSI). <em>See</em> 49 CFR parts 15 (OST) and 1520 (TSA). Since that time, requirements for the protection of SSI have been modified by a subsequent IFR (2005) and regulations promulgated by the Department of Transportation (DOT), TSA, and Department of Homeland Security. These modifications have resulted in inconsistencies between TSA and OST regulations.&nbsp;TSA and OST&nbsp;are issuing a final rule that will harmonize the regulations and reduce regulatory burden through streamlining certain requirements and eliminating others.</p>
