Indirect Air Carriers, Certified Cargo Screening Facilities, and other entities regulated by the Transportation Security Administration regularly encounter questions about the meaning or application of TSA security requirements, including those found in the Indirect Air Carrier Standard Security Program, Certified Cargo Screening Standard Security Program, and Standard Screening Procedures for Air Cargo. (The requirements of those security programs are classified as Sensitive Security Information and so may not be discussed in this article.) TSA recently announced a new “Policy Clarification Process” through which regulated entities can informally request guidance from the agency regarding such questions. Requests will be reviewed by TSA and resolved through the issuance of “Policy Clarification Notices” that will be posted to the Homeland Security Information Network. Time will tell if this new process yields helpful guidance to the air-forwarding industry. This development indicates TSA is at least open to clarifying the meaning and application of security-program requirements on an informal basis, similar to the approach taken by other federal agencies with jurisdiction over transportation providers (e.g., the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration).
