Abstract: TSA is implementing Section 525 of the DHS Appropriations Act by establishing a process whereby a party seeking access to SSI in a civil proceeding in federal court that demonstrates a substantial need for relevant SSI in preparation of the party’s case may request that the party, party representative or court reporter be granted access to the SSI. In order to determine if the individual may be granted access to SSI for this purpose, TSA will conduct a criminal history records check (CHRC) and threat assessment. Individuals will be required to submit information including identifying information and an explanation supporting the party’s need for the information.
