Background

    The TSA Civil Enforcement Docket contains the official TSA civil 
enforcement case materials for those enforcement actions in which an 
alleged violator of the Transportation Security Regulations (TSR) has 
requested a hearing. The TSA Civil Enforcement Docket has been 
maintained at TSA Headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. See 68 FR 58281 
(Oct. 9, 2003).
    TSA is transferring the TSA Civil Enforcement Docket from its 
headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, to the USCG ALJ Docketing Center 
in Baltimore, Maryland, effective on the date of publication of this 
document. The purpose of this transfer is to consolidate the functions 
of the TSA Civil Enforcement Docket with other aspects of the TSA civil 
enforcement case management, which are currently administered by the 
USCG Office of Administrative Law Judges under a reimbursable agreement 
with TSA. Under this agreement, the USCG Office of Administrative Law 
Judges presides over all TSA civil enforcement actions in which an 
alleged violator of the TSR has requested a hearing. The transfer of 
the TSA Civil Enforcement Docket to the USCG ALJ Docketing Center 
ensures that official TSA civil enforcement case materials in which a 
hearing has been requested will be maintained by the USCG, which 
administers other aspects of the TSA civil enforcement case management.

Address Change

    Presently, the unrevised TSA Civil Enforcement Docket address in 
Arlington, Virginia, which this document changes, is contained in the 
following sections of 49 CFR part 1503:
     Sec.  1503.5(b)(2)--Persons filing a formal complaint;
     Sec.  1503.5(k)--Locations where official TSA records 
relating to the disposition of formal complaints are maintained;
     Sec.  1503.5(k)(2)(C)(ii)--Location of formal complaint 
docket files or documents for persons with permission to review;
     Sec.  1503.16(f)--Persons requesting a hearing in a TSA 
case;
     Sec.  1503.209(b)--Persons filing an answer in a TSA case;
     Sec.  1503.210(a)--Persons tendering documents for filing 
in a TSA case;
     Sec.  1503.230(b)(2)(C)(ii)--Location of formal complaint 
docket files or documents for persons with permission to review; and
     Sec.  1503.233(a)--Persons filing a notice of appeal of an 
initial decision.
    Effective August 22, 2006, persons who desire to submit documents 
to the TSA Civil Enforcement Docket should address submissions to the 
following address instead of the address provided in 49 CFR part 1503: 
ALJ Docketing Center, U.S. Coast Guard, 40 S. Gay Street, Room 412, 
Baltimore, Maryland 21202-4022, ATTN: Enforcement Docket Clerk.
    TSA will change this address in part 1503 when a final rule is 
published making further administrative and technical changes to TSA's 
regulations in 49 CFR parts 1500-1699 and will provide this new address 
in enforcement documents it sends to respondents. The USCG ALJ 
Docketing Center also will notify respondents in TSA civil enforcement 
actions in which an alleged violator of the TSR has requested a hearing 
of this transfer and the new address. Prior to TSA's revisions to the 
relevant sections of 49 CFR part 1503, any materials sent to the 
address listed in 49 CFR part 1503 will be forwarded to the Coast Guard 
docket address listed above.

    Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on August 16, 2006.

Chief Counsel.
