This rulemaking transfers the FAA’s rules governing civil aviation security to TSA. This rulemaking also amends those rules to enhance security as required by recent legislation. This rulemaking also requires additional qualifications, training, and testing of individuals who screen persons and property that are carried in passenger aircraft. It is intended to improve the quality of screening conducted by aircraft operators and foreign air carriers. This rule is being adopted to improve the qualifications of individuals performing screening, and thereby to improve the level of security in air transportation. This will help ensure a smooth transition of aviation security from the FAA to TSA, and will avoid disruptions in air transportation due to any shortage of qualified screeners.

Effective Date: This rule is effective February 17, 2002. The incorporation by reference of certain publications in the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of February 17, 2002. Submit comments by March 25, 2002.
