## Abstract

This final rule amends the existing airport security rules. It revises certain applicability provisions, definitions, and terms; reorganizes these rules into subparts containing related requirements; and incorporates some requirements already implemented in security programs. This revision also incorporates certain new measures to provide for enhanced airport security. Specifically, this final rule more clearly defines the areas of the airport in which security interests are the most critical and where security measures should be the most stringent. The intent of this final rule is to enhance security for the traveling public, aircraft operators, and persons employed by or conducting business at public airports by increasing awareness of and compliance with civil aviation security measures.
