Bill calls for rulemaking committee on aviation security rules
Rep.

Rep. Charles Dent (R-Pa.) has introduced a bill that would require the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to negotiate with general aviation interests before promulgating security rules such as the controversial Large Aircraft Security Program (LASP).

The “General Aviation Security Enhancement Act of 2009” prevents the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary from issuing a rule, an interim final rule or a new rulemaking involving the “Large Aircraft Security Program, Other Aircraft Operator Security Program, and Airport Operator Security Program (TSA-2008-0021)” unless the secretary first establishes a negotiated rulemaking committee and receives a written report from that advisory committee.
