TSA Office of Security Policy and Industry Engagement (OSPIE) Air Cargo Newsletter Volume II: Issue 1 January 2013 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Question: How can I join the CCSP as a Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF)? Answer: Any facility that is a regulated party or which tenders cargo directly to a regulated party (air carrier or Indirect Air Carrier) may apply to become a Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF). This includes manufacturers, warehouses, distribution centers, third party logistics providers, indirect air carriers and ICSFs. Entities interested in participating in the program must submit an application for each facility to be considered, and submit to an onsite facility assessment prior to receiving TSA certification. Applications and/or requests for applications must be submitted directly to TSA (via CCSP@dhs.gov), and a TSA representative will respond. Question: What is the difference between the Known Shipper Program and the Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP)? Answer: The Known Shipper Program is an initiative to positively identify valid businesses in the United States. Only shippers who are “known” can ship cargo on passenger aircraft. The CCSP designates facilities that can screen known shipper cargo prior to the cargo being loaded onto a passenger aircraft. Question: I am a shipper. How can I become a TSA qualified Known Shipper? Answer: TSA identifies and approves shippers as Known Shippers only through the information submitted by the air operator or TSA approved freight forwarder/Indirect Air Carrier (IAC). Please contact your local air operator or TSA approved freight forwarder to request to become a Known Shipper. Question: I was a TSA approved Known Shipper, but have been informed that I no longer have Known Shipper status . How do I get back my Known Shipper status? Answer: TSA does not grant Known Shipper status directly to shippers. Shippers should contact their local air operator or TSA approved IAC for further information. (continued on page 12) 11
