Sec. 1544.215  Security coordinators.

    (a) Aircraft Operator Security Coordinator. Each aircraft operator 
must designate and use an Aircraft Operator Security Coordinator (AOSC). 
The AOSC and any alternates must be appointed at the corporate level and 
must serve as the aircraft operator's primary contact for security-
related activities and communications with TSA, as set forth in the 
security program. Either the AOSC, or an alternate AOSC, must be 
available on a 24-hour basis.
    (b) Ground Security Coordinator. Each aircraft operator must 
designate and use a Ground Security Coordinator for each domestic and 
international flight departure to carry out the Ground Security 
Coordinator duties specified in the aircraft operator's security 
program. The Ground Security Coordinator at each airport must conduct 
the following daily:
    (1) A review of all security-related functions for which the 
aircraft operator is responsible, for effectiveness and compliance with 
this part, the aircraft operator's security program, and applicable 
Security Directives.
    (2) Immediate initiation of corrective action for each instance of 
noncompliance with this part, the aircraft operator's security program, 
and applicable Security Directives. At foreign airports where such 
security measures are provided by an agency or contractor of a host 
government, the aircraft operator must notify TSA for assistance in 
resolving noncompliance issues.
    (c) In-flight Security Coordinator. Each aircraft operator must 
designate and use the pilot in command as the In-flight Security 
Coordinator for each domestic and international flight to perform duties 
specified in the aircraft operator's security program.
