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.
The instructor's energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge of the subject make the class a great learning experience!

The instructor was probably the best I ever had! He made the class enjoyable, was humorous at times, and very knowledgeable.

Best instructor ever! I was going to take my DOT training w/a different provider, but based on this presentation, I will also be doing my DOT training w/Lion!

Very well structured, comprehensive, and comparable to live training seminars I've participated in previously. I will recommend the online course to other colleagues with training requirement needs.

My experience with Lion training, both online and in the classroom, is that they are far better organized and provide a better sequential explanation of the material.

I have attended other training providers, but Lion is best. Lion is king of the hazmat jungle!!!
Henry Watkins
Hazardous Waste Technician
I tried other environmental training providers, but they were all sub-standard compared to Lion. I will not stray from Lion again!

This course went above my expectations from the moment I walked in the door. The instructor led us through two days packed with useful compliance information.
