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.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: TSA revised the number of CCSFs to account for current enrollment and the types of facilities that may enroll in the future. As a result of the drop in the projected CCSF population, there will be fewer applicants from which fixed costs of STAs can be recovered, which will thereby increase the per applicant fee. TSA also has eliminated the TSA-approved validation firms (TAVFs) from the CCSP in favor of continued TSA assessments. This change was made in light of a reduction in expected CCSP enrollment.
