Department of Homeland Security June 8, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This rule amends the Department of Homeland Security regulations pertaining to the field organization of the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection by closing the port of entry of Noyes, Minnesota, and extending the limits of the port of entry of Pembina, North Dakota, to include the rail facilities located at Noyes. The closure and extension are the result of the closure by the Canadian Customs and Revenue Agency of the Port of Emerson, Manitoba, Canada, which is located north of the Port of Noyes, and the close proximity of the Port of Noyes to the Port of Pembina.

This document makes a correction to the final rule published in the Federal Register on May 26, 2006. That rule enhances and improves the security of air cargo transportation by requiring airport operators, aircraft operators, foreign air carriers, and indirect air carriers to implement security measures in the air cargo supply chain as directed under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act. The final rule also amends the applicability of the requirement for a ``twelve-five'' security program for aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 12,500 pounds or more to those aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of more than 12,500 pounds to conform to recent legislation. TSA inadvertently left out the amendatory instruction to remove the word ``passenger'' in Sec. 1548.1. This document adds this amendatory change to part 1548.
