**RELEASE OF SENSITIVE SECURITY INFORMATION**

The grantee may receive information that is designated by the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) as restricted under 49 CFR
1520 as detrimental to the safety of passengers in air, and other modes
of transportation, in accordance with 49 USC Sec. 40119( SSI
Information).

In accordance with grantee Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA)
Procedures, the grantee shall protect such SSI Information from
disclosure, or close certain data- gathering meetings to the public only
if the TSA provides written confirmation that the information to be
disclosed orally or in writing has been designated as information
protected from disclosure in accordance with 49 CFR Part 1520, and is
therefore exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, 5
USC Sections 552(b)(3). The TSA will clearly label all SSI Information
presented to the grantee substantially as follows:

**\" [WARNING]{.underline}: This document contains Sensitive Security
Information that is controlled under 49 CFR 1520. No part of this
document may be released to persons without a need to know, as defined
in 49 CFR 1520, except with the written permission of the TSA
Administrator, Washington, DC. Unauthorized release may result in civil
penalty or other action. For U.S. Government agencies, public release is
governed by 5 U.S.C. 522.\"**

Information which TSA has not so marked for protection will be handled
in accordance with grantee FACA Procedures providing for public access.
The grantee intends to publish its findings, conclusions, advice or
recommendations in a public report. The grantee will provide the TSA
with the opportunity to screen the final public deliverable
report(s)(Grantee Report(s)), 10 business days prior to public release,
for the sole purpose of ensuring that the Grantee Report(s) do not
contain SSI Information or classified national security information, but
the TSA shall refrain from commenting on the substance of the Report(s).

for Safeguarding and Control\" published by the TSA on October 3, 2003,
