TSA Proposes Updates to Security Programs
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has notified members of the air-cargo community that it intends to update the Indirect Air Carrier Standard Security Program (IACSSP) and Certified Cargo Screening Standard Security Program (CCSSSP). The proposed changes may impact, among other things which individuals are required to obtain Security Threat Assessments (STAs), when a customer may be treated as a “shipper,” the ability of IACs to utilize designated pickup locations, and cybersecurity reporting requirements. The specific changes are classified as Sensitive Security Information (SSI) and cannot be shared in this article, but clients are advised to review TSA’s notification of the changes posted to the Indirect Air Carrier Management System (IACMS). While there is no formal timeline for when the agency will finalize the updates and issue new versions of the IACSSP and CCSSSP, clients are encouraged to analyze the potential impact on their air-cargo operations. The Scopelitis Air Cargo Team is available to assist in that process.
