Aviation Industry Seeks Final Rule on Repair Station Security
|
|
The aviation industry sent a unified letter to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano requesting the department work with Transportation Security Administration and other federal agencies to finalize a rulemaking regarding repair station security by the end of the year. This rulemaking is the direct result of congressional mandates contained within the 2003 Vision 100 – Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act, and the 2007 Implementing the Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act. The former act required TSA to issue “final regulations to ensure the security of foreign and domestic aircraft repair stations” within 240 days while the latter act specifically prohibits the FAA from certifying any new non-domestic repair stations after August of 2008 if the TSA had not yet promulgated the required regulations. The publication of a final rule will enhance security and also remove a regulatory roadblock that is currently damaging American companies.
