IF "IMMEDIATE RESPONSE1" DID NOT> INCLUDE ADDRESSING WHAT TO DO AT THE BORDER AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT> POSSIBLE ASSOCIATES IN THE US, THAT WOULD BE SURPRISING. THAT BEINGya-^SAID.

Synopsis: To advise of procedures established to provide consistentapplication of names submitted by the FBI to the TransportationSecurity Administration (TSA) No Fly and Selectee Lists.Details: Background:

On October 15, 2001, the FAA issued Security Directives(SB's) after receiving lists of individuals associated with Al-Qaedafrom both the CIA and the FBI. The SB's contained a list of personswho were believed to pose a threat to civil aviation security. Thisprocess was refined to a coordinated policy and protocol between theFBI, CIA, and FAA (now the TSA) to identify persons who may pose athreat to civil aviation security. Since late 2001, there have beenrefinements - t o the protocol in which persons are either placed on orremoved from either list. The TSA maintains the two lists and namesare submitted mostly by the CIA and the FBI, but also from theDepartment of Homeland Security/Bureau of Immigration and Customs.Enforcement, TSA, and on occasion, other agencies.

The TSA No Fly List and TSA Selectee List are not to beconfused with other watch lists, such as:a. Terrorist Watch List (TWL),b. National Crime Information Center Violent Gang andTerrorist Organization File (VGTOF),c. Department of State (TIPOFF System),d. Consular Lookout and Support System (CLASS),e. Bepartment of Homeland Security (formerly TreasuryDepartment) Treasury Enforcement Computer System (TECS),f. Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (formerly

United States Customs Service and Immigration andNaturalization Service) Interagency Border InspectionSystem (IBIS), andg. National Automated Lookout System (NALS).Definitions of each list

The persons on the TSA No Fly List are to be prevented fromusing U.S. commercial aviation, since they have been deemed by theTSA to be a threat to civil aviation security, based upon informationreceived from various sources. These individuals may not usecommercial aviation as long as their name appears on the TSA No FlyList.When a person on this list arrives at an airport andattempts to fly, the airline is required to alert local lawenforcement. Local law enforcement authorities will be the primaryresponse to determine if the person at the airport matches the personon the list. If there is a positive match, then the local law

enforcement authorities will contact the local FBI Field Office'sAirport Liaison Agent or Joint Terrorism Task Force. The FBI shallthen respond to the airport to conduct further investigation,including identity checks, consensual interview, and notification toFBIHQ. Such responses should be documented at the field divisionlevel.A detention is generally warranted for individuals with anoutstanding arrest warrant, or if investigation reveals the person ison an operational terrorist mission.The persons on the TSA Selectee List are not known to be athreat to aviation, but an agency has said . they may have a possibleconnection to terrorism or a terrorist organization. Passengersdetermined to match the name on this list are subject to enhancedpre-boarding security screening measures, and ultimately, arepermitted to travel on commercial aviation. The .airlines are also

required to notify both local and airport law enforcement and thelocal FBI office. However, as long as individuals are subject toenhanced screening, additional law enforcement review is notrequired.The backbone to the regulatory process for the civilaviation industry is Security Directives, issued by the TSA (formerlyFederal Aviation Administration). Over the past twenty months, theTSA has issued updated SD's that outline actions for airportoperators and airlines in regard to names appearing on either the TSANo Fly List or TSA Selectee List.In essence, the SB's advise airport operators to (1) check

applicants for airport ID card (e.g., SIDA badge) applicants namesagainst the TSA No Fly List and TSA Selectee List, and (2) outlineprocedures for airlines to check passengers names and employees forname matches from either list. Responses to positive nameidentification may require FBI involvement for further identificationand interview after screening by local or airport law enforcement inquestionable cases of identity.To control all names placed on and removed from both the TSANo Fly List and TSA Selectee Lists by the FBI, a separate controlfile (300B-HQ-C1184203-K), has been established for accountabilitypurposes in the Counterterrorism Division. This file number shall beappropriately referenced in all documentation.

Procedures to add or remove a person for both lists:' The Counterterrorism Division has developed the followingprocedures to add a person to either the TSA No Fly List or TSA/\e List. TSA has concurred with the following procedures:

5. If the Unit Chief or higher in the operational unit in theCounterterrorism Division approves the addition to or removalfrom either list, then it is the responsibility of theoperational unit to coordinate with the TSA's detailees on the-FBI's National Joint Terrorism Task Force (NJTTF) for inclusionor deletion.The TSA's detailees to the NJTTF are currently Stuart O'Neil andJorge Dominguez. They will forward the approved request to TSAfrom for placement (or removal) on the appropriate list.

Mandatory review of USPERs6. If an USPER is added to either list, then the submittor of theUSPER is required to review whether the person should remain onthe list. This mandatory review will occur when the case isclosed and every 12 0 days after the date of the EC thatrequested submission of that person to the list. Note that an

USPER can remain on the list even if the Field Office has closedtheir investigative or intelligence case, as long as there isjustification to do so. The justification would have to bearticulated in an EC uploaded to the substantive and controlfiles, and it must include articulable facts that the personcontinues to pose a threat to civil aviation security. Even ifthe Field Office has closed the case, it is still required toconduct a review and document the results every 120 days.The results of the review -- that is, the reasons to maintainthe person on the list or the reasons to remove the person fromthe list -- will be documented in an EC that is uploaded withunrestricted text. The EC will be sent, as above, to the sameunits in the Counterterrorism Division with the same leads,described above.If the Field Office, Legat, or operational unit in theCounterterrorism Division concludes prior to the closure of the

case, or prior to the mandatory 120 day review, that the personno longer poses a threat to civil aviation security, then an ECshould be submitted immediately to request deletion from thelist.Distribution of the lists

The most current TSA No Fly List and TSA Selectee List are e-mailed to all Airport Liaison Agents, Legats, and Joint TerrorismTask Force members as soon as they are received from the TSA by theCounterrorism Division, Special Events Management Unit/Civil AviationSecurity Program. Dissemination of these lists may occur as much astwice daily. The points-of-contact in that unit are SSA AlexisSmollok, (202) 324-0242, and IOS Brenda Jones: (202) 324-8693.The lists are also posted on the FBI's Intranet, SIOC Operations,TSA/FBI Support Page, which is located at: .

If an FBI response is warranted, then full database checks andother appropriate investigation should be conducted and documented.The Terrorist Watch and Warning Unit is available 24/7 at (202) 324-1220 as a resource to check ACS and NCIC on possible matches.If FBI searches are negative, but it is determined the person isa match, then the field agent should contact the TSA's 24-hourcommand center at (202) 267-3099 f or background information. TSA'-scommand center maintains documentation on all persons on both lists

provided to them by the FBI and all other agencies who contribute tothe lists. For these instances, it is recommended that responses topositive name matches on the lists be maintained in the appropriateairport liaison or civil aviation security file in the fielddivision.For Legat response purposes, individuals appearing on the TSA NoFly list may not utilize U.S. commercial aviation. Interview andidentification of the individual will rest within the appropriatelocal law enforcement jurisdiction, at the request of the FBI. If theindividual uses a foreign-flag air carrier to attempt to enter theU.S. and cannot be prevented from traveling, the FBI office at thearriving city must be contacted for appropriate action as soon aspossible. For reference, it is the responsibility of the TSA toinclude names appearing on the TSA No Fly List to also be entered inTIPOFF and TECS.In instances in which individuals are prevented from flying andwish to voice their objection, the TSA, Office of the Ombudsman has
