Title: Flight Training for Aliens and Other Designated Individuals; Security Awareness Training for Flight School Employees | |
Abstract: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will take final action on the interim final rule (IFR) issued September 20, 2004 by completing a regulatory analysis, amending the rule to incorporate the exemptions and interpretations, and responding to comments received. The IFR was published and effective on September 20, 2004 (69 FR 56324). The IFR created a new part 1552, Flight Schools, in title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This IFR applies to flight schools and to individuals who apply for or receive flight training. After comments were received, exemptions and interpretations were issued. TSA also issued a notice on April 13, 2009, that prescribes fees for processing requests from alien flight students who take recurrent training. TSA requires flight schools to notify TSA when aliens and other individuals designated by TSA apply for flight training or recurrent training. TSA has established standards relating to the security threat assessment process that TSA will conduct to determine whether such individuals are a threat to aviation or national security, and thus prohibited from receiving flight training. In addition, TSA has established a fee to cover a portion of the costs of the security threat assessments that TSA will perform under this rule. Finally, TSA has established standards for security awareness training for certain flight school employees. These requirements will help ensure that individuals who might use aircraft to perform terrorist attacks in the United States do not obtain flight training that would enable them to do so. These requirements will also improve security at flight schools. | |
