Security Threat Assessment for Aircraft and Heliport Operators, August 16, 2004 (PDF, 9 pages - 55 KB) Under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) and authority delegated from the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has "the responsibility for security in all modes of transportation..."

Airport Access Control Pilot Project Airport Access Control Pilot Project, June 18, 2004 (PDF, 7 pages - 122 KB) The purpose of TSA's Airport Access Control Pilot Program is to implement pilot projects at airports to evaluate and demonstrate applications of new and emerging technologies that enhance the performance of access controls to ensure that unauthorized persons cannot gain access to sensitive areas in airports.

Registered Traveler Pilot TSA Registered Traveler, September 1, 2006 (PDF, 27 pages - 409 KB) Pursuant to TSA's authority to operate trusted traveler programs and following two sets of pilot programs, TSA is conducting the next phase of Registered Traveler at approximately 10-20 participating airports to further test and evaluate this type of trusted passenger program. This phase introduces interoperability among participating airports/air carriers and operating with larger populations.

TSA Registered Traveler Pilot (Private Sector Subpilot), September 20, 2005 (PDF, 13 pages - 233 KB) The purpose of this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is to revise the PIA for the Private Sector Known Traveler (PSKT) sub-pilot. The PSKT subpilot revises TSA's role by incorporating a Private Sector Partner (PSP) that will carry out certain responsibilities. The PSKT is designed to have a structure that is very similar to the other pilots in the Registered Traveler (RT) Pilot Program. The difference between PSKT and the other RT pilots centers on the division of responsibilities between TSA and its Private Sector Partner. TSA's role will focus on conducting the initial security threat assessment and periodic reassessments, conducting security threat assessment screening, and oversight. The Private Sector Partner will have responsibility for procurement, marketing and operational functions consistent with TSA guidelines and Federal technology standards for Information Technology and biometric security. The Private Sector Partner collects the KT applicant's pertinent biographic and biometric information and sends it to TSA to conduct security threat assessments including running the applicant's biographical information through Federal databases, such as the Terrorist Screening Data Base (TSDB) and the TSA selectee list, databases containing outstanding wants and warrants, and against other governmental sources. Once TSA completes the initial security threat assessment, the agency will inform the Private Sector Partner whether the KT applicant has been approved or not approved; however, the details of the security threat assessments will be retained by TSA and not shared with the Private Sector Partner or KT applicant. The Private Sector Partner will inform the individual KT applicant whether he or she has or has not been accepted.

Registered Traveler Pilot (Private Sector Subpilot), June 20, 2005 (PDF, 11 pages - 61 KB) Because of the success of the Registered Traveler Pilot Program, TSA is now exploring the feasibility of applying the RT concept to a modified model that uses a Private Sector Partner. A Private Sector Partner may include airport authorities, air carriers, or other entities designated by TSA. To test the proposed model, TSA is launching a sub-pilot program known as the Private Sector Known Traveler (PSKT) in conjunction with the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA).

Registered Traveler Pilot, June 24, 2004 (PDF, 9 pages - 176 KB) Under the Registered Traveler Program as envisioned by TSA, qualified travelers will be positively identified via advanced identification technologies to confirm that these travelers are not suspected of posing a threat to aviation security.

U.S. Port Access Threat Assessments

TSA U.S. Port Access Threat Assessments, April 28, 2006 (PDF, 14 pages - 252 KB) TSA has broad authority to assess threats and threat information and to plan and execute such actions as may be appropriate to address threats to transportation. Working in conjunction with the United States Coast Guard and its statutory mandate, TSA will conduct security threat assessments of port workers in order to ensure that individuals who are allowed access to U.S. port facilities do not pose or are not suspected of posing a threat to transportation security.

TSA P&O Ports North America, Inc. Threat Assessments

TSA P&O Ports North America, Inc. Threat Assessments, March 22, 2006 (PDF, 13 pages - 250 KB). The Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation (PCFC) recently acquired P&O Ports North America, Inc. (P&O NA). On January 6, 2006, PCFC and P&O NA provided the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) certain national security assurances in connection with DHS's review of the foregoing acquisition in the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), 50 U.S.C. App. 2170. One of those assurances is to make P&O NA books and records available to DHS upon request. DHS has requested information about P&O NA employees in order to undertake security threat assessments on these employees pursuant to the authority of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) under 49 U.S.C. §114(f) to assess threats and threat information and to plan and execute such actions as may be appropriate to address threats to transportation. P&O NA will provide the name, job title, date of birth, and social security number, as well as alien registration number if applicable, for all of its employees operating in the United States.
