U.S. Department of Homeland Security

APRIL, 2010


Overviewo The attacks of September 11,

2001, led to the largest and most complex reorganization of the federal government since the department of defense was created over 60 years ago

o The post 9/11 re-organization included the establishment of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

o On March 1, 2003 DHS took over operational control of nearly 180,000 employees from incoming agencies and offices, including some 60,000 TSA employees from the Department of Transportation


Who is TSA?

• TSA Mission, Vision and Core Valueso The Transportation Security Administration protects the

Nation’s transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce.

o The Transportation Security Administration will continuously set the standard for excellence in transportation security through its people, processes, and technology.

o To enhance mission performance and achieve our shared goals with Stakeholders and affiliated Agencies.


Security Programs and Contingency Plans

The Department of Homeland Security has rated the National Threat Advisory Level as Orange.


• Goalso Establish indisputable confidence in our Nation’s

transportation systemo Secure the Nation’s freedom of movement in the

interest of national security, public safety and economic growth


What we do…Layers of Security

We have layers of security to enhance the security of the traveling public and the Nation's transportation system. Each one of these layers alone is a deterrent, capable of deterring criminal acts.

In combination their security value is multiplied, creating a much stronger, formidable system.

NOTIONAL – FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY

Version 3.0

100% Screening Requirement

BackgroundBackground

The legislation mandates 100% screening by August 2010 and requires TSA to:

– Establish a system to screen 100% of cargo transported on passenger aircraft.

– Provide a level of security commensurate to that of passenger baggage.

– Meet inspection benchmarks.

President Bush approved Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 on August 3, 2007.

Version 3.0

~15 million pounds moves on PAX daily.

100% Screening Requirement

All cargo must be screened at the piece level by TSA-approved methods prior to being loaded on a passenger aircraft.

Screening capacity at a single point in the supply chain is not sufficient enough to accomplish this requirement.

Significant carrier delays, cargo backlogs, and transit time increases are expected.

ImpactsImpacts

Cargo must be broken down to piece level and screened

by piece.

Version 3.0

Piece Level Cargo

Piece level cargo is the individual item within a shipment. The number of pieces is determined by the number of pieces identified by the shipper-level documentation.

By February 3, 2009, all cargo must be broken down and 50% of the individual pieces must be screened prior to being loaded on a passenger aircraft.

By August 3, 2010, cargo must be 100% screened at the piece level.

Certified Cargo Screening Program

Version 3.0

Certified Cargo Screening Program Overview

CCSP was developed to:

Allow screening of cargo early in the air cargo supply chain by a trusted, vetted, and audited facility.

Establish the integrity of a shipment through enhanced physical and personnel security standards at Certified Cargo Screening Facilities (CCSFs).

Maintain the integrity of a shipment throughout the supply chain by utilizing stringent chain of custody methods.

Participation in CCSP is voluntary, but once in, CCSFs must:

Adhere to increased TSA-directed security standards.

Share responsibility for supply chain security.

Employ chain of custody.

Permit onsite validations.

Submit a Facility Security Plan (FSP).

Be subject to TSI-C inspections.

The Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP) is a facility based program.

Version 3.0

What is a regulated entity?

A regulated entity is an entity that TSA has imposed mandatory requirements on through an order, regulation, or other means to impose binding and enforceable requirements. Regulations are first published in the Federal Register and codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

Certified Cargo Screening Facilities (CCSFs) will need to be regulated:

– To count CCSF cargo as screened.

– To enable compliance to be enforced.

Version 3.0

Who can become a Certified Cargo Screening Facility?

Facilities screening under the CCSP will be known as Certified Cargo Screening Facilities (CCSFs).

Facilities currently applying to become Certified Cargo Screening Facilities:

Independent facilities may emerge to screen cargo for other entities.

Any entity with a desire to screen cargo must have a secure facility.

CCSFs must be no more than one node back from a currently regulated entity (freight forwarder/air carrier).

Facilities that are not currently regulated by TSA will become regulated under the program.

Version 3.0

CCSP Program Standards

During Phase One:– Non-regulated entities will operate under a regulatory Order issued by TSA.

– Freight forwarders and air carriers will operate under Alternate Procedures (APs) to their standard security programs (SSPs).

At full rollout, all CCSFs will operate under the Certified Cargo Screening Standard Security Program (CCSSSP).

Version 3.0

CCSP Benefits

CCSP: Decreased log jams (carrier delays) and

expedited supply chain flow.

Ability to build bulk configurations.

Ability to continue to ship certain cargo types without potential invasive screening later on in the chain.

Implement facility and chain of custody standards*.

Facility audits.

The benefits of participating in the Certified Cargo Screening Program may outweigh costs carried by the facility in meeting program guidelines.

CCSF Benefits

CCSF Costs

*Facility Standards include physical access controls, personnel, procedural, physical, and information technology security.
