As part of the continued effort to lead the industry’s response to the TSA’s LASP, NBAA tells ANN that it has prepared a new online guide to help Members submit comments to regulators about not only the LASP but also any future regulatory proposals that affect the way Members operate or use their aircraft.

This new resource guides Members through the key points to cover in developing comments, including one’s standing as a respondent, specific concerns with a regulatory proposal and cost consequences. NBAA encourages Members to take advantage of this new resource, as participation in the comment process is the only sure way for the aviation community to affect the final version of federal regulations. NBAA will distribute this resource at the TSA’s upcoming public hearings on the LASP, and it is also available online a the link listed below.

Use NBAA’s Contact Congress to Make Your Voice Heard on TSA’S LASP Proposal

NBAA has also provided a new letter for Members to send to their elected representatives in Washington which outlines the concerns the business aviation community has with the TSA's proposed Large Aircraft Security Program (LASP). The proposal, which was introduced last October, would impact all aircraft with a maximum certified takeoff weight (MTOW) above 12,500 lbs. The new letter is accessible through NBAA's Contact Congress resource, and can be personalized and previewed before it is sent. NBAA strongly encourages Members to use the resource to make their voices heard on.
