TSA Amends Air Cargo Screening Rules: Eliminates 3rd-Party Certifiers
Posted on 8/19/2011 by James Griffin
Yesterday at 76 FR 51848, the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) in response to public comments amended two provisions of the Air Cargo Screening Interim Final Rule (IFR) originally issued on September 16, 2009.
In response to public comment, this Final Rule removes all provisions for creating a class of third-party validation firms. The TSA itself will continue to assess and certify cargo screening facilities under this program.
The August 18 Final Rule also deletes the requirement for aircraft carriers and foreign air carriers to comply with the Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF) regulations. As their airport-based cargo screening is already regulated by TSA, there is no need for a separate certification to screen cargo off airport.
This rule also proposes a fee range for processing Security Threat Assessments and solicits comments on the methodology and range of fees.
This rule is effective starting September 19, 2011. Comments must be received by the TSA by September 19, 2011.
I was recently offered an opportunity to take my training through another company, but I politely declined. I only attend Lion Technology workshops.

Very witty instructor, made the long times sitting bearable. One of the few training courses I can say I actually enjoyed.
John Hutchinson
Senior EHS Engineer
The instructor made the class very enjoyable and catered to the needs of our group.
Sarah Baker

The instructor does a great job at presenting material in an approachable way. I have been able to save my company about $30,000 in the last year with what I have learned from Lion!
Curtis Ahonen
EHS&S Manager
This was the 1st instructor that has made the topic actually enjoyable and easy to follow and understand. Far better than the "other" training providers our company has attended!
Lori Hardy

Lion is easily and consistently the best option for compliance training. I've learned new information from every instructor I've had.
Rachel Mathis
EHS Specialist
You blew the doors off the competition!
Stephen Bieschke

These are the best classes I attend each year. I always take something away and implement improvements at my sites.

This is the best RCRA training I've experienced! I will be visiting Lion training again.

I have been to other training companies, but Lion’s material is much better and easier to understand.
