Security Programs of Foreign Air Carriers

The FAA proposes to amend the existing airplane operator security rules for foreign air carriers and foreign operators of U.S. registered aircraft. The proposed rule would implement provisions of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996. The proposed rule would condition the Administrator's acceptance of a foreign air carrier's security program on a finding that the security program requires adherence to the identical security measures that the Administrator requires U.S. air carriers serving the same airports to adhere to. The proposed rule is intended to increase the safety and security of passengers aboard foreign air carriers on flights to and from the United States. In addition, the FAA is announcing a public meeting on the NPRM to provide an additional opportunity for the public to comment.
