1652-AA53 201604 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1652 Transportation Security Administration TSA 1600 Department of Homeland Security DHS General Aviation Security and Other Aircraft Operator Security

On October 30, 2008, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), proposing to amend current aviation transportation security regulations to enhance the security of general aviation by expanding the scope of current requirements, and by adding new requirements for certain large aircraft operators and airports serving those aircraft. TSA also proposed that all aircraft operations, including corporate and private charter operations, with aircraft having a maximum certificated takeoff weight (MTOW) above 12,500 pounds (large aircraft) be required to adopt a large aircraft security program. TSA also proposed to require certain airports that serve large aircraft to adopt security programs. After considering comments received on the NPRM and sponsoring public meetings with stakeholders,  TSA decided to prepare a supplemental NPRM (SNPRM), which will include a comment period for public comments. TSA is considering the following proposed provisions in the SNPRM: (1) security measures for foreign aircraft operators commensurate with measures for U.S. operators, (2) security measures for certain general aviation aircraft operations, (3) watch list matching of passengers, and (5) scope of the background check requirements and the procedures used to implement any requirement.
