Abstract
The FAA amends the regulations that require an access investigation, including a fingerprint-based criminal record check in certain cases, for unescorted access privileges to security areas at airports. This final rule extends the requirement for an access investigation (which is renamed ``employment history investigation'') to persons who perform checkpoint screening functions at airports and their supervisors. The final rule also requires airport operators and air carriers to audit employment history investigations. This final rule is in response to the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 and seeks to improve the security of the airport environment.
