submitted 25 years ago by Pub. L. 107-71 to r/title-49-TRANSPORTATION · 130 words · no verdicts yet
FAA's authority over drug- and alcohol-testing programs for airport screening personnel moved to the TSA Administrator. Screening personnel are now tested by their own employer, not by airlines. The chapter's rules for FAA safety-sensitive employees now apply the same way to TSA employees with security-sensitive duties.
(a) Transfer to TSA. The FAA Administrator's authority over testing programs for airport security screening personnel is transferred to the TSA Administrator. Despite what section 45102(a) says, the rules under that section now require screening personnel to be tested by their own employer, instead of by airlines and foreign airlines.
(b) Applying the chapter to TSA employees. This chapter's rules for FAA employees with safety-sensitive duties apply the same way to TSA employees whose duties are security-sensitive.
The authority of the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration under this chapter with respect to programs relating to testing of airport security screening personnel are transferred to the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration. Notwithstanding section 45102(a), the regulations prescribed under section 45102(a) shall require testing of such personnel by their employers instead of by air carriers and foreign air carriers.
The provisions of this chapter that apply with respect to employees of the Federal Aviation Administration whose duties include responsibility for safety-sensitive functions shall apply with respect to employees of the Transportation Security Administration whose duties include responsibility for security-sensitive functions.
