    FAA Dismisses Part 16 Complaint Against Port of Seattle


    On November 14, 2008, the FAA dismissed a Part 16 complaint filed against our client, the Port of Seattle.  A concessioner at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport alleged that the Port had discriminated against him because of his race, in violation of 49 CFR Part 23.  Some of the complainant's allegations concerned the Port's selection of concessions for the Central Terminal, a retail and restaurant venue that was substantially renovated and reopened in 2005.  The FAA correctly determined that the Port did not discriminate against the complainant in violation of federal law.  Click on the link below to view and download a copy of the Director's Determination.

    TSA Proposes New Rules for General Aviation Security

     

    On October 30, 2008, the Transportation Security Administration published its proposal for new security requirements on aircraft operators and airport operators engaged in general aviation.  According to TSA, the proposed rule would affect 10,000 aircraft operators flying 15,000 aircraft and 315 private and public airports.  The proposed security requirements are too numerous to summarize adequately.  Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell has prepared a detailed summary of the proposed rule and its potential impacts.  Interested parties will have 60 days, until December 29, 2008, to submit comments.  Click the links below to view and download TSA's proposed rule and the KKR summary.
