Abstract: TSA has implemented regulations creating the Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP) for Certified Cargo Screening Facilities (CCSF) to screen cargo for transport on passenger aircraft. TSA amended existing security regulations and programs for aircraft operators, foreign air carriers, airport operators, and indirect air carriers (IACs). TSA also expanded background check requirements to new populations, including CCSF employees, and individuals who have access to screened cargo.
