The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is seeking applications for membership on the Aviation Security Advisory Committee (ASAC). Of particular note, TSA is seeking applicants for airport construction and maintenance contractors. TSA is also seeking nominations to represent all 19 of its “key” constituencies including, among others: (1) labor organizations representing employees of airport construction and maintenance contractors.; (2) victims of terrorist acts against aviation; (3) labor organizations representing air carrier employees; (4) aeronautical repair stations; (5) aircraft manufacturers; (6) general aviation; (7) all-cargo air transportation; and (8) airport-based businesses.
ASAC’s general mission is to provide advice and recommendations to the TSA Administrator on improving aviation security matters, including developing, refining, and implementing policies, programs, rulemakings, and security directives pertaining to aviation security. ASAC members are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the TSA Administrator for a two-year term or until a successor is appointed. Members who are currently serving on the Committee are eligible to reapply for membership, although a new application is required. The ASAC typically convenes four times per year.
Applications are due by July 3, 2025 and can be submitted by email to ASAC@tsa.dhs.gov. Application packages must include: (1) a complete professional resume; (2) a statement of interest and reasons for application, including the applicant’s relevant constituency, how the applicant represents a significant portion of that constituency, and a brief explanation of how the applicant can contribute to TSA strategic initiatives; and (3) home and work addresses, telephone number, and email address.
