Security Policy Alert: TSA Posts Proposed ASP Amendment on Centralized Revocation Database

May 19, 2020

TSA has posted to the Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) a proposed Airport Security Program amendment (TSA-NA-20-01) to implement a centralized revocation database for airport identification media that have been revoked due to aviation security violations.

The TSA Modernization Act of 2018 required TSA to establish such a database.  In 2015, the Aviation Security Advisory Committee recommended that TSA create a centralized database of airport identification media that have been revoked for cause as a tool to aid airport operators' suitability determinations for badge applicants.

Comments on the proposed ASP amendment are due on June 30, 2020.  AAAE will be submitting comments on behalf of our airport members and we welcome your input and feedback to inform those comments.  We will also be soliciting comments from the AAAE Transportation Security Services Committee on our next monthly call on June 10.

In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions or need any additional information.
