TSA Moves The Deadline Back To February 19th
TSA is extending the comment period on the notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) regarding the Aircraft Repair Station Security
Program published on November 18, 2009. TSA has decided to
grant, in part, two requests for an extension of the comment period
and will extend the comment period for thirty days.
According to information published in the Federal Register, in
two separate requests, one dated November 20, 2009, from the
Professional Aviation Maintenance Association (PAMA) and the other
dated November 23, 2009, from the International Air Transport
Association (IATA), both organizations requested that the deadline
for filing comments on the Aircraft Repair Station Security PRM be
extended for an additional 60 days from January 19, 2010, to March
19, 2010. PAMA and IATA believed that the original 60-day
comment period was insufficient to provide TSA with substantive
comments. PAMA requested additional time for its membership to read
and respond to the NPRM, due to the holiday season being the
airlines' busiest time of the year. IATA believes that due to the
complexity and scope of the rule, there is insufficient time for
careful consideration by stakeholders.
IATA also said that further time is required for translation and
review of the NPRM by foreign repair station operators abroad.
TSA has decided to grant, in part, PAMA and IATA’s
requests for an extension and will extend the comment period for
thirty (30) days. TSA believes that public awareness of the
proposed Aircraft Repair Station Security rulemaking, which began
in February 2004 with a public meeting and comment period, has
allowed sufficient time for industry consideration. The comment
period will now be a total of 90 days and will end on February 19,
2010. This extension will allow the aviation industry and other
interested entities and individuals additional time to complete
their comments on the NPRM and will enable TSA to continue its
efforts to implement final regulations as mandated by 49 U.S.C.
44924.
