SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Aviation Security Advisory Committee
The ASAC is an advisory committee established pursuant to 49 U.S.C.
44946. ASAC's mission is to provide advice and recommendations to the
TSA Administrator on improving aviation security matters, including
developing, refining, and implementing policies, programs, rulemakings,
and security directives pertaining to aviation security, while adhering
to sensitive security guidelines. The committee is composed of
individual members representing 19 key constituencies affected by
aviation security requirements, as defined at 49 U.S.C. 44946(c)(1)(C).
This request for applications is for the following membership
categories:
1. Air carriers.
2. All-cargo air transportation.
3. Labor organizations representing air carrier employees.
4. Aircraft manufacturers.
5. Airport operators.
6. General aviation.
7. Travel industry.
8. Victims of terrorist acts against aviation.
9. Law enforcement and security experts.
10. Indirect air carriers.
11. Aviation security technology industry (including screening
technology and biometrics).
12. Airport-based businesses.
13. Passenger advocacy groups.
14. Airport authorities and businesses that conduct security
operations at airports.
15. Labor organizations representing transportation security
officers.
16. Airport construction and maintenance contractors.
17. Labor organizations representing employees of airport
construction and maintenance contractors.
18. Privacy organizations.
19. Aeronautical repair stations.
Unless otherwise noted, the 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. As required
by the statute, however, individuals selected on the ASAC may not
represent more than 34 member organizations.
Appointees will be designated as representative members.
Representative members speak for the key constituency group they
represent. 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.
Application for Advisory Committee Appointment
TSA is seeking applications for the membership categories listed
above. Any person wishing to be considered for appointment to ASAC must
provide the following:
<bullet> Home and work addresses, telephone number(s), and email
address.
<bullet> Complete professional resume.
<bullet> Statement of interest and reasons for application,
including the membership category and how you represent a significant
portion of that constituency and provide a brief explanation of how you
can contribute to one or more TSA strategic initiatives, based on your
prior experience with TSA, or your review of current TSA strategic
documents that can be found at <a href="http://www.tsa.gov/about/strategy">www.tsa.gov/about/strategy</a>.
TSA will confirm receipt of your application and will notify you of
the final status of your application once TSA selects members.
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,
the other meetings are typically closed to the public due to the
sensitive nature of the material discussed. 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.
Committee Membership Vetting
All applicants that are presented to the TSA Administrator for
appointment to ASAC must successfully complete a Security Threat
Assessment by TSA, as access to sensitive security information will be
necessary. U.S. citizens and those meeting residency requirements will
be vetted using TSA's Universal Enrollment Services, which includes the
collection of biographic and biometric information to allow TSA to
perform the Security Threat Assessment. Selected applicants will be
offered a no-cost authorization code to complete the three-step
Universal Enrollment Services process; which includes online pre-
enrollment, coordinating a visit to an enrollment center, and the in-
person visit to the enrollment center.
Non-U.S. applicants presented for appointment to ASAC will be
required to complete additional vetting. This vetting will include the
completion and submission of TSA Form 2816B form, which must be
submitted at least 30 days before visiting TSA spaces.
Dated: May 28, 2025.
Eddie D. Mayenschein,
Assistant Administrator, Policy, Plans, and Engagement, Transportation
Security Administration.
