I. Background
TSA is required by law to ensure the
adequacy of security measures for the
transportation of air cargo.1 TSA
developed the CCSP in 2009 2 to provide
additional means of compliance with
statutory requirements for screening 100
percent of cargo transported on
passenger aircraft.3 The program
established a new regulatory framework
to screen cargo to TSA standards,
relieving the air carrier of the space,
time, and cost pressures associated with
screening cargo using technical means
on airport grounds. Any cargo screening
program that is compliant with the
CCSP regulation meets all national and
international standards required to
transport cargo aboard any commercial
aircraft, including passenger and allcargo aircraft. Under 49 CFR part 1549,
all registered CCSFs must operate under
the Certified Cargo Screening Standard
Security Program (CCSSSP).
Since establishment of the CCSP, TSA
has recognized other capabilities under
this regulatory structure. For example,
in 2018, TSA announced an opportunity
for canine providers to become Certified
Cargo Screening Facilities-Canine
(CCSF–K9).4 The availability to use
CCSF–K9s to screen cargo was a critical
part of TSA’s efforts to support
implementation of a mandate for
members of the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) to screen
100 percent of air cargo transported on
international aircraft, with no
distinction for passenger versus allcargo aircraft, beginning June 30, 2021.
CCSF–K9s are required to comply with
1 49

U.S.C. 44901.
FR 51848 (Aug. 18, 2011), codified at 49 CFR
part 1549.
3 See 49 U.S.C. 44901(g), added by section 1602
of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11
Commission Act of 2007, Public Law 110–53 (121
Stat. 266; Aug. 3, 2007).

the security program issued under the
authority of 49 CFR part 1549.
TSA has also historically recognized
Shipper-CCSFs.5 Shipper-CCSFs are
manufacturers who apply the security
controls required under the CCSP in the
course of manufacturing or packaging
their products, who can directly transfer
their manufactured goods or products to
an aircraft operator without a
requirement for additional screening.
Cargo tendered by a Shipper-CCSF may
be transported on any commercial
aircraft. Many medical device and
pharmaceutical manufacturers operate
today as Shipper CCSFs. The CCSP—
including CCSFs, CCSFs-K9 and
Shipper-CCSFs—is fully compliant with
ICAO requirements for air cargo. TSA
has approved Shipper-CCSFs when
requested, but has never fully integrated
these operations into the CCSSSP.
II. How To Become a Registered CCSF
TSA has decided to streamline its
security programs by incorporating
procedures for Shipper CCSFs into the
CCSSSP and, through this notice,
ensuring broad announcement of this
opportunity for shippers to register to
operate as CCSFs. To operate as a CCSF,
a shipper must register with TSA’s
CCSSSP office and be approved as a
holder of the CCSSSP. The security
program includes the requirements to
become a CCSF and, as applicable to
shippers and manufacturers, the
operational requirements for screening
their own products during the course of
manufacturing and packaging, and to
screen other air cargo items to national
and international security standards.
TSA is publishing this notice to
ensure all interested persons are aware
of the opportunity to become a CCSF.
To initiate the registration process,
shippers must send an email indicating
their interest to the email address
identified above under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT and TSA will
respond with additional information
regarding the application requirements,
including the required procedures to
obtain access to Sensitive Security
Information (SSI) pursuant to 49 CFR
part 1520. Once TSA approves the
applicant’s access to SSI, TSA will
provide a copy of the CCSSSP, which
includes the detailed requirements for
an application to become a CCSF. In
general, each applicant must submit the
5 See, e.g., 01 FR 26229 (May 13, 2021), 30-day
notice for information collection under 49 CFR part
1548, ‘‘the CCSP allows shippers, indirect air
carriers, and other entities to voluntarily participate
in a program through which TSA certifies entities
to screen air cargo off-airport before it is tendered
to air carriers for transport on passenger aircraft.’’
(emphasis added)

information required by 49 CFR
1549.7(a)(1). Each applicant also must
undergo an onsite corporate assessment
performed by TSA. TSA will use this
information to evaluate the applicant’s
qualifications and readiness to
participate in the CCSP.
The shipper may commence
operations as a CCSF under the security
program after it receives written
approval from TSA that all of TSA’s
requirements are met. As a CCSF, the
shipper could directly transfer cargo to
an aircraft operator without requiring
additional screening. A new registration
under the CCSP is effective for 36
months from the date of approval.
