DHS/TSA RIN: 1652-AA08 Publication ID: Fall 2003 
Title: Protection of Sensitive Security Information 
Abstract: TSA is revising its regulation governing the protection of sensitive security information (SSI) in order to implement recent legislative changes that expand TSA's authority to protect SSI related to modes of transportation other than aviation. TSA is issuing revisions to its existing regulation in the form of an interim final rule in order to address the immediate needs of individuals and entities operating in maritime and other modes of transportation as they develop security plans, assessments, procedures, and other measures called for by the Homeland Security Act of 2002 and the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002. To that end, TSA is expanding the definition of SSI to include additional types of information related to security in all modes of transportation and to expand the list of persons required to protect SSI. TSA also is requiring that records containing SSI be marked with a protective marking and distribution limitation statement that indicate the record contains SSI, the restrictions on the release of SSI, and the consequences of unauthorized disclosure of the SSI. TSA is requiring disposal of records containing SSI when they are no longer needed.
