1652-AA08 202004 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1652 Transportation Security Administration TSA 1600 Department of Homeland Security DHS Protection of Sensitive Security Information

In 2004, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Office of the Secretary of Transportation (OST) published an Interim Final Rule (IFR) governing the protection of sensitive security information (SSI). See 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. TSA is issuing a final rule that will harmonize TSA's regulations with DOT's requirements, and reduce regulatory burden through streamlining certain requirements and eliminating others. These amendments include the changes to the treatment of names of Federal Flight Deck Officers to be consistent with the classification of information about Federal Air Marshals.
