Synopsis
On February 1, 2005, TSA Stores, Inc.
(TSA) filed a Petition for Declaratory
Ruling asking the Commission to
preempt a provision of the Florida
Statutes as applied to interstate
telephone calls. Specifically, TSA
requests that the Commission preempt
section 501.059 of the Florida Statutes
as applied to interstate telephone calls
made to residential lines using a
prerecorded voice, where the call is
made to a person with whom the caller
has an established business
relationship. TSA indicates that section
501.059 of the Florida Statutes makes it
unlawful for a telephone solicitor to
make a telephone sales call to a Florida
resident if such call involves an
automated system for the selection or
dialing of telephone numbers or the
playing of a recorded message when a
connection is completed to a called
number. TSA asserts that section
501.059, to the extent that it restricts or
prohibits the use of prerecorded
messages to persons with whom the
caller has an established business
relationship, is inconsistent with the
Commission’s rules, when applied to
interstate calls. TSA indicates that this
provision conflicts with section
64.1200(a)(2) of the Commission’s rules,
47 CFR 64.1200(a)(2), which, according
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
to TSA, permits the use of an artificial
or prerecorded voice to deliver a
message without the express prior
consent of the called party if the call is
made to a person with whom the caller
has an established business
relationship. Accordingly, TSA requests
that the Commission issue a declaration
preempting section 501.059(7)(a) of the
Florida Statutes.

Statutory and Regulatory Background
TSA is an agency in the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS), operating
under the direction of the Assistant
Secretary for Homeland Security
(Transportation Security
Administration). TSA is responsible for
security in all modes of transportation,
including aviation. See 49 U.S.C. 114(d).
Under TSA’s regulation on acceptance
and screening of individuals and
accessible property, 49 CFR 1540.111,
an individual (other than a law
enforcement or other authorized
individual)—
* * * may not have a weapon, explosive, or
incendiary, on or about the individual’s
person or accessible property—
(1) When performance has begun of the
inspection of the individual’s person or
accessible property before entering a sterile
area, or before boarding an aircraft for which
screening is conducted under § 1544.201 or
§ 1546.201 of this chapter;
(2) When the individual is entering or in
a sterile area; or
(3) When the individual is attempting to
board or onboard an aircraft for which
screening is conducted under § 1544.201 or
§ 1546.201 of this chapter.’’
On February 14, 2003, TSA published
an interpretive rule that provided
guidance to the public on the types of
property TSA considers to be weapons,
explosives, and incendiaries prohibited
on an individual’s person or accessible
property, items permitted on an
individual’s person or accessible
property, and items prohibited in
checked baggage (68 FR 7444). On
March 3, 2003, TSA subsequently
published technical corrections to the
interpretive rule at 68 FR 9902.
On December 17, 2004, the President
signed into law the Intelligence Reform
and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004
(IRTPA) (Pub. L. 108–458). Section 4025
of IRTPA requires TSA, no later than 60
days after enactment, to add butane
lighters to the prohibited items list and
to make any other modifications that
TSA considers appropriate. TSA has
reviewed the prohibited items list and is
now making a change to the list. This
document amends TSA’s interpretive
rule to reflect this change, which is
discussed below.
Prohibited Items List Change: All
Lighters Prohibited
Pursuant to the February 14, 2003
interpretive rule, TSA limited the types
and quantities of lighters that persons
are permitted to bring on board the
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

cabin of an aircraft to reflect limits in
DOT’s regulations (see, e.g., 49 CFR
175.10(a)(10)) and related
interpretations governing the transport
of hazardous materials on aircraft.
Specifically, TSA allowed persons to
board an aircraft with no more than two
lighters per person, as long as the
lighters were fueled with either
liquefied gas (Bic- or Colibri-type) or
absorbed liquid (Zippo-type). Under
the DOT hazardous materials regulation
all other types of lighters are prohibited
in the aircraft cabin. See 49 CFR
175.10(a)(10). Further, all lighters,
including those fueled with liquefied
gas or absorbed liquid, are prohibited
from carriage in checked baggage.
Most liquefied gas lighters, which in
the past have been permitted in the
aircraft cabin, are butane lighters. Thus,
the effect of Section 4025 of IRTPA is
to require the prohibition of most
liquefied gas lighters from the cabin of
an aircraft. In light of this change, TSA
has reconsidered whether all lighters
should be prohibited from the cabin of
an aircraft.
It is very difficult, and often
impossible, for TSA security screeners
to distinguish between lighters that are
fueled with butane and lighters that are
fueled by some other flammable gas or
liquid. Consequently, TSA is modifying
the prohibited items list to include all
lighters, consistent with the provision in
section 4025 that directs TSA to make
other modifications to the prohibited
items list that it deems appropriate. As
a result, beginning on the effective date
of this rule, TSA is prohibiting
passengers from carrying any type of
lighter on their person or in accessible
property once screening has begun,
when in airport sterile areas, or onboard
an aircraft for which screening is
conducted. In addition, lighters remain
prohibited from carriage in passengers’
checked baggage under DOT’s
hazardous materials regulation.
Separately, TSA is considering adding
all matches to the prohibited items list.
Consistent with DOT’s regulation
governing the transport of hazardous
materials, TSA presently limits the type
and quantity of matches passengers may
bring on board an aircraft. Specifically,
passengers now may carry up to four
books of strike-on-cover matches on
their person or in accessible property.
Under the DOT regulation, all matches
are prohibited from carriage in checked
baggage. Before modifying the
interpretive rule with respect to matches
carried on one’s person or in accessible
property, TSA will publish a notice in
the Federal Register requesting public
comment on such a change. If TSA
determines that prohibiting the carriage
