§ 1542.305
must submit the proposed alternative
measures within the time prescribed in
the Security Directive. The airport op-
erator must implement any alternative
measures approved by TSA.
(e) Each airport operator that re-
ceives a Security Directive may com-
ment on the Security Directive by sub-
mitting data, views, or arguments in
writing to TSA. TSA may amend the
Security Directive based on comments
received. Submission of a comment
does not delay the effective date of the
Security Directive.
(f) Each airport operator that re-
ceives a Security Directive or an Infor-
mation Circular and each person who
receives information from a Security
Directive or an Information Circular
must:
(1) Restrict the availability of the Se-
curity Directive or Information Cir-
cular, and information contained in ei-
ther document, to those persons with
an operational need-to-know.
(2) Refuse to release the Security Di-
rective or Information Circular, and in-
formation contained in either docu-
ment, to persons other than those who
have an operational need to know with-
out the prior written consent of TSA.
§ 1542.305
Public advisories.
When advised by TSA, each airport
operator must prominently display and
maintain in public areas information
concerning foreign airports that, in the
judgment of the Secretary of Transpor-
tation, do not maintain and administer
effective security measures. This infor-
mation must be posted in the manner
specified in the security program and
for such a period of time determined by
the Secretary of Transportation.
§ 1542.307
Incident management.
(a) Each airport operator must estab-
lish procedures to evaluate bomb
threats, threats of sabotage, aircraft
piracy, and other unlawful interference
to civil aviation operations.
(b) Immediately upon direct or re-
ferred receipt of a threat of any of the
incidents described in paragraph (a) of
this section, each airport operator
must—
(1) Evaluate the threat in accordance
with its security program;
(2) Initiate appropriate action as
specified in the Airport Emergency
Plan under 14 CFR 139.325; and
(3) Immediately notify TSA of acts,
or suspected acts, of unlawful inter-
ference to civil aviation operations, in-
cluding specific bomb threats to air-
craft and airport facilities.
(c) Airport operators required to have
a security program under § 1542.103(c)
but not subject to 14 CFR part 139,
must develop emergency response pro-
cedures to incidents of threats identi-
fied in paragraph (a) of this section.
(d) To ensure that all parties know
their responsibilities and that all pro-
cedures are current, at least once every
12 calendar months each airport oper-
ator must review the procedures re-
quired in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
section with all persons having respon-
sibilities for such procedures.
