Millions of Known

Shippers

~300 Air Carriers

~450 Airports

U.S. air cargo supply chain handles more than 50,000 tons of cargo each day, of which 7,500 tons (15%) is designated for domestic passenger carriers

TSA Air Cargo focuses on two primary security threats:

Improvised explosive device (IED) exploding on a passenger aircraft

Stowaway gaining access to an aircraft

TSA takes a multi-layered approach to air cargo security:

Companies shipping and transporting cargo onto passenger planes are vetted to ensure they meet TSA security standards

Air carriers and IACs screen cargo using approved screening methods and technologies

TSA conducts random and risk-based targeting to identify high-risk cargo that requires secondary screening

TSA inspectors continually assess compliance with security regulations

100% Screening RequirementBackground

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

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.

100% Screening RequirementImpacts

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.

~15 million pounds moves on PAX daily.

Cargo must be broken down to piece level and screened

by piece.

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 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.

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 facility that can be secured.

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.

Shipping Facilities

Freight Forwarding Facilities

Third Party Logistics Providers

Manufacturing Facilities

Warehouses Distribution Centers

Tendering Screened Cargo 1. Cargo must be physically identified as screened before tender.

– TSA will issue size and sticker specifications, but will not work with a vendor to supply screening identification methods.

Once all cargo pieces have been screened, they can be shrink-wrapped, etc.

Tamper evident methods must be applied at the piece level –

method may vary for different package types (e.g. box v. crate).

CCSFFreight

Cargo must be visibly identified as screened.

2. CCSFs must tender a certification statement that the cargo has been screened and is from a TSA-approved CCSF.

100% Screening SummaryThe 50% and 100% milestones are fast approaching, congressionally mandated, and therefore not flexible.

TSA will enable secure, audited, and certified facilities to screen cargo further upstream in the air cargo supply chain.

Collaboration is essential through Phase One Deployment for CCSP to be effective.

CCSP Phase One presents an opportunity to get into the program early.

Tamper evident technologies and chain of custody are critical elements of CCSP.

CCSP is a voluntary program and may not be applicable to all facilities.

Version 3.0

Approach to U.S.-Inbound Air Cargo SecurityTSA is working towards developing an international cargo strategy that emphasizes near-term security improvements and outlines opportunities for long-term solutions.

TSA is currently exploring risk-based options to increase security of U.S.-inbound air cargo which include:

– Targeting options to identify high risk cargo

– Changes to Screening requirements and methods via existing standard security programs

– Vetting options to verify legitimate international shippers

TSA will work with international partners to continue developing an international air cargo strategy:

– The Quad (U.S., Canada, Australia, EU)

– International Civil Aviation Organization

– Asian Pacific Economic Council

Inbound Transfer Cargo

Foreign Airport -> SEAForeign Airport -> SEA SEA -> ORDSEA -> ORD

Inbound transfer cargo is moved from the first flight

to the second

Inbound transfer cargo is defined by TSA as cargo that arrives in the U.S. from abroad either on a passenger or an all-cargo aircraft, deplanes, and subsequently departs on a domestic passenger flight

Inbound transfer cargo will continue to be subject to the requirements for transfer cargo currently found in the AOSSPs and MSPsAll inbound transfer cargo must be made available to TSA canine teams when these teams are present in cargo facilities
