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.
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.

If I need thorough training or updating, I always use Lion. Lion is always the best in both instruction and materials.
Bryce Parker
EHS Manager
Lion provided an excellent introduction to environmental regulations, making the transition to a new career as an EHS specialist less daunting of a task. Drinking from a fire hose when the flow of water is lessened, is much more enjoyable!

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