TSA Lists Airports Impacted by LASP Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
January 16, 2009

TSA's Office of General Aviation has posted the list of 42 non-federalized airports that will be affected by the Large Aircraft Security Program (LASP) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, which was published Oct. 30.

The proposed LASP regulation would require all U.S. operators of aircraft exceeding 12,500 pounds maximum take-off weight to implement security programs that would be subject to compliance audits by TSA. The proposed regulation would require airports servicing these large GA aircraft to implement a partial airport security program, if they do not already have one in place, as well as identify law enforcement officer support and designate airport security coordinators.

According to TSA, the LASP would affect 270 FAA designated reliever airports and 42 non-federalized airports that regularly serve large aircraft with scheduled or public charter service. To view the list, go to http://www.tsa.gov/assets/pdf/general_aviation_affected_airports.pdf.

AAAE's GA Security Working Group, led by Robert Olislagers, A.A.E., executive director of Colorado's Centennial Airport, recently completed a first draft of comments outlining airports' concerns with the LASP rulemaking. AAAE will submit comments Feb. 27.
