Title: Air Cargo Security Requirements | |
Abstract: The Transportation Security Administrations (TSA) is proposing these amendments after extensive consultation with industry through its Aviation Security Advisory Committee, and with other Federal agencies including the Department of Transportation and Bureau of Customs and Border Protection. This rulemaking would amend current transportation security regulations to enhance and improve the security of air cargo transportation, by requiring the adoption of security measures throughout the air cargo supply chain--applicable to airport operators, aircraft operators, foreign air carriers, and indirect air carriers. These proposed regulatory requirements would impose significant barriers to terrorists seeking to use the air cargo transportation system for malicious purposes. This proposal would also change the requirement for a Twelve-Five Program from aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight "of 12,500 pounds or more" to "more than 12,500 pounds." This change would conform the regulation to recent legislation. | |
