SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Trucking Security Program (TSP) is

Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009, Public Law 110-329. TSP is an
important part of the Administration's larger, coordinated effort to
strengthen homeland security preparedness, including the security of
America's critical infrastructure. TSP implements objectives addressed
in a series of post-9/11 laws, strategy documents, plans, Executive
Orders, and Homeland Security Presidential Directives. Of particular
significance are the National Preparedness Guidelines and its
associated work products, including the National Infrastructure
Protection Plan and its transportation sector-specific
[[Page 48092]]
plans and Executive Order 13416 (Strengthening Surface Transportation
Security). The National Preparedness Guidelines are an all-hazards
vision regarding the Nation's four core preparedness objectives:
prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist
attacks and catastrophic natural disasters.
