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 attended training from another provider and learned absolutely nothing. Lion is much better. Hands down.

The instructor took a rather drab set of topics and brought them to life with realistic real-life examples.

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

I have over 26 years of environmental compliance experience, and it has been some time since I have attended an environmental regulations workshop. I attended this course as preparation for EHS Audits for my six plants, and it was exactly what I was looking for.

We have a very busy work schedule and using Lion enables us to take the course at our own time. It makes it easy for me to schedule my employees' training.

Lion is easily and consistently the best option for compliance training. I've learned new information from every instructor I've had.
