Synopsis: To advise of procedures established to provide consistentapplication of names submitted by the FBI to the TransportationSecurity Administration (TSA) No Fly and Selectee Lists.

Details: Background:On October 15, 2001, the FAA issued Security Directives(SD's) after receiving lists of individuals associated with Al-Qaedafrom both the CIA and the FBI. The SD's contained a list of personswho were believed to pose a threat to civil aviation security. Thisprocess was refined to a coordinated policy and protocol between theFBI, CIA, and FAA (now the TSA) to identify persons who may pose athreat to civil aviation security. Since late 2001, there have beenrefinements - t o the protocol in which persons are either placed on orremoved from either'list. The TSA maintains the two lists and namesare submitted mostly by the CIA and the FBI, but also from theDepartment of Homeland Security/Bureau of Immigration and Customs

.Enforcement, TSA, and on occasion, other agencies.The TSA No Fly List and TSA Selectee List are not to be

confused with other watch lists, such as:a.b.o.d.e.f.

Definitions of each listThe perspns o < . . the TSA No Flv List are to be prevented fromusing U.S. commercial Aviation, since they have been deemed by theTSA to be a threat to civil aviation security, based upon informationreceived from various sources. These individuals may not usecommercial aviation as long as their name appears on the TSA No FlyList.When a person on this list arrives at an airport andattempts to fly, the airline is required to alert local lawenforcement. Local law enforcement authorities will be the primary-response to determine if the person at the airport matches the personon the list. If there is a positive match, then the local law

enforcement authorities will contact the local FBI Field Office'sAirport Liaison Agent or Joint Terrorism'Task Force. The FBI shallthen respond to the airport to conduct further investigation,including identity checks, consensual interview, and notification toFBIHQ. Such responses should be documented at the field divisionlevel.

A detention is generally warranted for individuals with anoutstanding arrest warrant, or if investigation reveals the person ison an operational terrorist mission.The persons on the TSA Selectee List are not known to be athreat to aviation, but an agency has said,they may have a possibleconnection to terrorism or a terrorist organization. Passengersdetermined to match the name on this list are subject to enhancedpre-boarding security screening measures, and ultimately, arepermitted to travel on commercial aviation. The .airlines are alsorequired to notify both local and airport law enforcement and the'local FBI office. However, as long as individuals are subject toenhanced screening, additional law enforcement review is notrequired.The backbone to the regulatory process for the civilaviation industry is Security Directives, issued by the TSA (formerlyFederal Aviation Administration) . Over the past twenty months, theTSA has issued updated SB's that outline actions for airportoperators and airliner; in regard to names appearxug on either the TSANo Fly List or TSA 3 e i < > c ' i : e e Li3t. 'In essence, the SD' d advise airport operators to (1) check

applicants for airport ID card (e.g., SIDA badge) applicants namesagainst the TSA No Fly List and TSA Selectee List, and (2) outlineprocedures for airlines to check passengers names and employees forname matches from either list. Responses to positive nameidentification may require FBI involvement for further identificationand interview after screening by local or airport law enforcement inquestionable cases of identity.To control all names placed on and removed from both the TS-\o Fl

file (300B-HQ-C1184203-K), has been established for accountabilitypurposes in the Counterterrorism Division. This file number shall beappropriately referenced in all documentation.Procedures to add or remove a person for both lists:

The Counterterrorism Division has developed the followingprocedures to add a person to either the TSA No Fly List or TSA/\. Selectee List. TSA has concurred with the following procedures:
