section below. Individuals are appointed by the TSA Administrator to
represent 19 key constituencies affected by aviation security
requirements, as defined at 49 U.S.C. 44946(c)(1)(C). The following
list provides the 19 key constituencies and identifies with an asterisk

ASAC does not have a specific number of members allocated to any
membership category and the number of members in a category may change
to fit the needs of the Committee, but each organization shall be
represented by one individual. Members will serve as representatives
and speak on behalf of their respective constituency group, and will
not be appointed as Special Government Employees as defined in 18
U.S.C. 202(a). Membership on ASAC is personal to the appointee and a
member may not send an alternate to a Committee meeting. Pursuant to 49
U.S.C 44946(c)(3), members shall not receive pay, allowances, or
benefits from the Government by reason of their service on ASAC.
Committee Meetings
The ASAC typically convenes four times per year. Additional
meetings may be held with the approval of the Designated Federal
Official. While at least one meeting per year is open to the public,
due to the sensitive nature of the material discussed, the other
meetings are typically closed to the public. In addition, members are
expected to participate on ASAC subcommittees that typically meet more
frequently to deliberate and discuss specific aviation matters.
Committee Membership
Committee members are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the
TSA Administrator for a 2-year term or until a successor is appointed.
Members who are currently serving on the Committee are eligible to
reapply for membership. A new application is required.
