TWELVE-FIVE STANDARD SECURITY PROGRAM
Congressional mandates to enhance security in air transportation allowed the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to adopt the Twelve-Five Standard Security Program (TFSSP) in accordance with 49 CFR 1544.101(d) requiring aircraft operators to:
1) Monitor security activities on the ground and in flight and provide adequate training to those performing security-related functions on behalf of the aircraft operator.
2) Subject flightcrew members to fingerprint-based criminal history records checks (CHRC) in order to provide assurances that those operating aircraft will not endanger passengers and other persons.
3) Process threat information and respond to bomb, air piracy (hijack) and other threats.
Currently the TFSSP is applicable to scheduled and charter (passenger and cargo) operations to, from, or outside the United States that use aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight (MTOW) of 12,500 pounds or more.

Private Charter Standard Security Program (PCSSP) - Part 121, 125 and 135 operators that charter aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight greater than 45,500 kg (100,309.3 pounds) [ie: BBJ, GEX] OR with a passenger seating configuration of 61 or more, must ensure that all passengers and accessible baggage are screened prior to boarding the aircraft. Additionally, these operators must have a security program that establishes the required security components for private charter operations. In October 2004, the TSA provided notice requiring aircraft operators certificated under 14 CFR part 125, to meet the requirements of 49 CFR 1544.101(e) or (f) and operate under a TSA security program.
Under 49 CFR, 1544, the aircraft operator must ensure that employees and representatives conducting security procedures comply with an existing TSA-approved full or partial security program.
Aircraft operator responsibilities include: 1) identification checks 2) name checks against the TSA “No Fly” lists 3) denying boarding when appropriate 4) notification of the Air Security Command Center (ASCC) at 202/493-5100
BOMB THREAT
49 CFR 1544.303: all bomb threats against specific aircraft, either on the ground or in air, have notification requirements. Bomb threats against a ground facility, also have specific notification requirements -- The ASCC, the FBI and local agencies are to be notified.
AIR PIRACY
49 CFR 1544.303: the aircraft operator must take specific action and make immediate notification to the ASCC. The aircraft operator is required to develop a contingency plan and include the TSA 12.5 requirements in its normal and emergency operational plans, policies and procedures. These operators must also include the TSA 12.5 requirements in normal and emergency communication plans, policies and procedures.
