    Reading Time:about 8 minutes

    The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has submitted a request for review and extension of its Information Collection Request to manage access to Sensitive Security Information (SSI). This process involves assessing individuals through a security threat assessment who seek access to SSI, such as prospective bidders or individuals involved in court cases. The TSA aims to ensure that only those who need to know and meet security requirements can access this sensitive information. The public is invited to comment on this proposal by January 16, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The TSA is making sure that only safe people can see special security information by checking if they are good to see it, and they want others to tell them what they think about this by January 16, 2025.

  • 2025-00484 — Minimum Standards for Driver's Licenses and Identification Cards Acceptable by Federal Agencies for Official Purposes; Phased Approach for Card-Based Enforcement
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 3472
    Reading Time:about 2 hours

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) have issued a final rule regarding the enforcement of REAL ID requirements for driver's licenses and identification cards used for federal purposes. Starting May 7, 2025, federal agencies must begin enforcing these requirements but can do so using a phased approach until May 5, 2027, if they consider factors like security, operational feasibility, and public impact. This rule aims to provide flexibility for a smoother transition since not all individuals currently possess REAL ID-compliant IDs. Agencies that choose phased enforcement must coordinate with DHS and publicly share their plans.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is making sure everyone uses special ID cards called REAL ID for official things by 2025, but they're allowing agencies to switch over gradually until 2027 to make it easier for everyone. This means people might see different rules at different places, but it should all be ready by 2027.

  • 2024-31204 — Civil Monetary Penalty Adjustments for Inflation
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 1
    Reading Time:about 29 minutes

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a final rule to adjust civil monetary penalties for inflation, effective January 2, 2025. These adjustments are in line with the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 and guidance from the Office of Management and Budget. This rule increases penalty amounts for violations occurring after November 2, 2015, and applies to various DHS components like the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Coast Guard. The updated penalty amounts are designed to maintain their deterrent effect and comply with mandatory legislative requirements.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is making sure that the fines people have to pay for breaking certain rules keep up with price changes, so they still work as a warning to not break the rules. This means if someone does something wrong, like breaking a law, after a certain date, they might have to pay more money as a penalty.

    Simple Explanation

    The TSA wants to change how they collect information to check if people can see special secret security stuff. They're splitting a form into two and changing some rules to make sure people are safe, but it's a bit confusing for people to figure out.
