Security Policy Alert: TSA Issues Proposed ASP Amendment on UAS Incident Reporting

January 28, 2022

As announced on this week's FAA/TSA Industry Day on the Part 139 Airport Operator's Response to Unauthorized UAS Operations (see AAAE Regulatory Alert for a summary of the meeting ), TSA has issued a proposed Airport Security Program (ASP) National Amendment (NA) to require airport operators to report unauthorized or suspicious Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) incidents. The proposed amendment, TSA-PNA-14-01B Incidents and Suspicious Activity Reporting, has been posted on HSIN. Comments are due no later than March 14, 2022. 

The proposed ASP amendment establishes a requirement to report UAS incidents to TSA and identifies the type of UAS Incidents to be reported. The existing reporting requirements have been reformatted to break the amendment into two separate types of incidents. Terms and definitions have also been added.

AAAE will submit comments on behalf of our airport members in advance of the March 14 deadline. As always, please share any questions, concerns or feedback you may have to help inform our comments.
