Abstract: TSA's Aircraft Repair Station regulations, codified at 49 CFR part 1554, implement a statutory requirement for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to ensure the security of aircraft repair stations. See 49 U.S.C. 44924. TSA has determined that the best way to ensure the security of the aircraft repair stations is to require that stations certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) carry out a standard security program and audit. TSA is proposing to collect repair station profile information, to comply with a legislative mandate and to require that repair stations maintain records of compliance with the required security program. The likely respondents to this collection of information are the owners/operators of repair stations. Currently, the program is doing voluntary outreach in order to gather industry best practices. No information collection form is currently in use.
