• Workgroup 6
• Workgroup 7
• ICAO Update
• Discussions on vendor
presentations—guidelines are as
follows: The vendor/product categories
sought are under Access Control,
Perimeter Intrusion Detection, Biometric
Systems/Devices, and Credentialing of
employees. Each vendor seeking to
present a short (maximum of 15
minutes) presentation to the committee
members, will provide the briefing
package, slides and supporting
documents to Mr. Paul S. Ruwaldt
(paul.ruwaldt@dhs.gov or
paul.s.ruwaldt@tc.faa.gov) by January
4th, 2006, outlining the following:
• If the product is an access control
system, sub-system or component of or
could be applied to an airport access
control system, the vendor is required to
submit documentation, in written form,
attesting to their understanding of the
current DO–230A Airport Access
Control Standard requirements and a
description of how their product,
system, sub-system or component
complies with this current standard
(this document will be inclusive of how
their product(s) would be utilized in an
automated access control system
suitable for use under the requirements
included in 49 CFR subpart 1500 et al.).
• How their product(s) would provide
for (or enhance) the security objectives
of the airport, and
• How their product(s) would be
integrated into an airport
comprehensive security system.
It is strongly suggested that the
vendors requesting presentation time be
fully cognizant of the airline and airport
operational requirements as they apply
to automated access control systems,
perimeter intrusion detection, biometric
system applications and credentialing
application of employees, as well as the
performance requirements of DO–230A
and how their product(s) will interface,
integrate or fuse (data) with automated
access control systems. Further, it is
suggested that the vendor by fully aware
of how these operational and
performance conditions will affect their
product(s) and the access control
procedures.
In addition, for those products or
systems incorporating biometrics,
specific reference and discussions will
address the Biometric Guidance Package
released and approved by the TSA this
year.
The vendor presentation must strictly
be pertinent to their product(s) and the
relevant 49 CFR subpart 1500 et al.
requirements for airport access control
systems. The vendor must demonstrate
their product’s suitability to airline and
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
airport operational access control
conditions and illustrate how their
product(s) would be deployed in
automated access control systems and/
or how their product(s) can be
integrated into the automated access
control systems.
The SC–207 committee emphasizes
that this RTCA standard pertains only to
airport access control systems, although
there may be opportunities for future
integration with other airport and
federal information and/or
communication technologies.
Further, the committee is interested in
proven and available COTS technologies
and/or products. The committee is not
interested in yet untested,
developmental concepts, representative
products, systems or sub-systems or
proprietary systems.
The vendors making presentations
will be required to provide a soft copies
of the material they wish to present to
the committee. No material save that
provided by the vendor by the 5th of
January 2006 will be accepted or
received by the Committee during the
presentation on January 18th & 19th,
2006.
The presentations provided by the
vendors will be collected and made
available to the committee members in
CD format on the day of the
presentation.
It is expected that there will be only
a limited presentation opportunity on
these two days. Reservations will be
made on a first come first served basis.
The Vendor should contact Mr.
Ruwaldt via email to express interest in
presenting. Once Mr. Ruwaldt receives
the material, he will schedule the
vendor’s presentation time and date. All
material must be received before this
scheduling can take place.
If the presentation schedule is full for
these two days, following consultation
with the SC–207 Chairman, an
additional presentation date in March
could be allocated, however all vendors
should not rely on this, and attempt to
develop and provide their product(s)
presentations as early as possible.
SC–207, in its deliberations for the
updated standard DO–230B, is
considering requiring that the products,
systems, sub-systems and components
utilized within airport access control
systems, inclusive of perimeter,
biometric intrusion detection and
surveillance functions should be tested
and verified to the requirements defined
within the proposed DO–230B
Standard.
Any such decision, including the
identification of a responsible authority
for conducting such verifications (or
potential certification of products) will

be taken before the final issuance of
DO–230B.
• Closing Plenary Session (Other
Business, Establish Agenda, Date and
Place for Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
Meeting).
Attendance is open to the interested
public but limited to space availability.
With the approval of the chairmen,
members of the public may present oral
statements at the meeting. Persons
wishing to present statements or obtain
information should contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section. Members of the public
may present a written statement to the
committee at any time.

SUMMARY: In accordance with statutory
requirements, FMCSA is publishing a
notice of delay in processing the
American Trucking Associations, Inc.’s
(ATA) application for a preemption
determination. FMCSA is conducting
fact-finding in response to ATA’s
request, and is delaying issuance of its
determination in order to allow time for
appropriate consideration of the issues
raised by ATA’s application.

CFR part 397, preempt routing
requirements contained in the Terrorism
Prevention in Hazardous Materials
Transportation Emergency Act of 2005
[D.C. Act 16–43, February 15, 2005, 52
CDR 3048] (‘‘DC Act’’), passed by the
Council of the District of Columbia on
February 1, 2005, and signed by the
Mayor on February 15, 2005.
FMCSA published notice of ATA’s
application in the Federal Register on
April 20, 2005, at 70 FR 20630. Title 49
U.S.C. 5125(d) requires FMCSA to issue
a decision on ATA’s application
‘‘within 180 days after the date of the
publication of the notice of having
received such application, or the
Secretary shall publish a statement in
the Federal Register of the reason why
the Secretary’s decision on the
application is delayed, along with an
estimate of the additional time
necessary before the decision is made.’’
ATA’s application for a preemption
determination is still under
consideration by FMCSA. The Agency
currently is conducting fact-finding in
response to the application. Because of
this additional fact-finding, it is
impracticable to issue a decision within
the 180-day timeframe. In order to allow
time for appropriate consideration of the
issues raised by ATA’s application,
FMCSA delays issuance of its
determination, and estimates a decision
will be published in the spring of 2006.

Synopsis of December 5, 2005
meeting with VISA participants.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The VISA program requires that a
notice of the time, place, and nature of
each JPAG meeting be published in the
Federal Register. The program also
requires that a list of VISA participants
be periodically published in the Federal
Register. The full text of the VISA
program, including these requirements,
is published in 70 FR 55947–55955,
dated September 23, 2005.
On December 5, 2005, the Maritime
Administration (MARAD) and the U.S.
Transportation Command co-hosted a
meeting of the VISA JPAG at the
Military Sealift Command in
Washington, DC. Meeting attendance
was by invitation only, due to the nature
of the information discussed and the
need for a government-issued security
clearance. Of the 51 U.S.-flag carrier
corporate participants enrolled in the
VISA program at the time of the
meeting, 15 companies whose vessels
were modeled in the Department of
Defense’s Mobility Capabilities Study
(MCS) participated in the meeting. In
addition, representatives from MARAD
and the Department of Defense attended
the meeting.
Richard Haynes, Executive Director
for the Military Sealift Command
opened the meeting with a welcome to
all attendees. Remarks were offered by
Earl Boyanton, Jr., Assistant Deputy
Under Secretary (Transportation Policy)
of the Office of the Under Secretary of
Defense, James Caponiti, Associate
Administrator for National Security for
MARAD and Margaret LeClaire, Deputy
Director, Strategy, Plans, Policy and
Programs for USTRANSCOM.
Dr. Laura Williams from the Office of
the Secretary of Defense (Program
Analysis and Evaluation) presented an
overview of the overall structure and
findings of the Department of Defense’s
MCS. Following Ms. Williams’ overview
there was an open dialogue about the
utilization of commercial sealift in the
MCS. As a result of the discussion,
industry participants provided DOD
many useful comments and suggestions
to consider in future analyses, and
indicated a willingness to address future
requirements as they emerge.
