Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 43 / Friday, March 4, 2011 / Notices 12211 

provided to the FAA, and Direct and 

Indirect Subscribers would be 

prohibited from using such information 

in developing or marketing ASDI- or 

NASSI-based products. Under the 

operative statutory provision, 49 U.S.C. 

44103 note, the FAA has the discretion 

to determine whether aircraft 

registration numbers should be blocked, 

and we do not believe that protecting 

aircraft identities from publicly 

available access is always in the best 

interests of the United States 

Government and the general public. 

Accordingly, we seek comment on 

modifying Section 9 of the MOA as 

follows: 

9. Security Interests 

The ASDI and NASSI data includes the 

near real time position and other flight data 

associated with civil instrument flight rules 

(IFR) aircraft. While commercial operators 

conduct business according to a published 

listing of service and schedule, general 

aviation operators do not. It is possible that 

public knowledge of the ASDI and NASSI 

data of certain general aviation operators 

could compromise the security of individuals 

or property. General aviation aircraft 

identification numbers must be excluded 

from public ASDI and NASSI data-feeds in 

the event a general aviation aircraft owner or 

operator provides the FAA, at least annually, 

a written certification (a ‘‘Certified Security 

Concern’’) that a) the facts and circumstances 

establish a Valid Security Concern regarding 

the security of the owner’s or operator’s 

aircraft or aircraft passengers; or b) the 

general aviation aircraft owner or operator 

satisfies the requirements for a bona fide 

business-oriented security concern under 

Treasury Regulation 1.132–5(m), ‘‘Employerprovided transportation for security 

concerns,’’ 26 CFR § 1.132–5(m). A Valid 

Security Concern is a verifiable threat to 

person, property or company, including a 

threat of death, kidnapping or serious bodily 

harm against an individual, a recent history 

of violent terrorist activity in the geographic 

area in which the transportation is provided, 

or a threat against a company. The FAA will 

no longer accommodate any ASDI- or NASSIrelated security or privacy requests, except 

such Certified Security Concerns. All Direct 

Subscribers (as a condition of signing this 

MOA) and Indirect Subscribers (as a 

condition of signing agreements with Direct 

Subscribers) must block any general aviation 

aircraft registration numbers for which 

Certified Security Concerns have been 

provided to the FAA. If the FAA determines 

that any Direct or Indirect Subscriber 

develops or markets products that violate this 

provision, the FAA’s rights under Section 15 

shall apply.
