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 listed an incorrect compliance 
date in certain sections of parts 1544, 1546, and 1548 dealing with 
security threat assessments and a mandatory security program 
requirement for operators. This document adds the correct compliance 
date to these sections.

DATES: Effective October 23, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 26, 2006, TSA published a final rule in a separate Part II 
of the Federal Register (71 FR 30478), revising various regulations to 
enhance and improve the security of air cargo transportation. Although 
TSA listed the correct compliance dates in the DATES section of the 
final rule preamble, we incorrectly listed the compliance date dealing 
with security threat assessments in Sec. Sec.  1544.228(d), 
1546.213(d), 1548.5(a), and 1548.16(a), and a mandatory security 
program requirement in Sec.  1548.15(d) for operators. This document 
corrects the date in these sections from the incorrect date of November 
22, 2006, to the correct date of December 1, 2006.
