Air Cargo Security Requirements; Correction

AGENCY:

Transportation Security Administration (TSA), DHS.

ACTION:

Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY:

This document makes a correction to the final rule published in the Federal Register on May 26, 2006. That rule enhances and improves the security of air cargo transportation by requiring airport operators, aircraft operators, foreign air carriers, and indirect air carriers to implement security measures in the air cargo supply chain as directed under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act. The final rule also amends the applicability of the requirement for a “twelve-five” security program for aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 12,500 pounds or more to those aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of more than 12,500 pounds to conform to recent legislation. TSA inadvertently left out the amendatory instruction to remove the word “passenger” in § 1548.1. This document adds this amendatory change to part 1548.

DATES:

Effective October 23, 2006.
