Sec.  122.49c  Master crew member list and master non-crew member list 

requirement for commercial aircraft arriving in, departing from, 

continuing within, and overflying the United States.



    (a) General requirement. Air carriers subject to the provisions of 

Sec.  122.49b and Sec.  122.75b, with respect to the flights covered in 

those sections, must electronically transmit to Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP), by means of an electronic data interchange system 

approved by CBP, a master crew member list and a master non-crew member 

list containing the information set forth in paragraph (c) of this 

section covering, respectively, all crew members and non-crew members 

operating and servicing its flights. The initial transmission of a list 

must be made at least two days in advance of any flight a crew member or 

non-crew member on the list will be operating, serving on, or traveling 

on and must contain the information set forth in paragraph (c) of this 

section. After review of the master crew list and the master non-crew 

list by TSA, TSA will advise the carrier of any crew members or non-crew 

members that must be removed from the list. Only those persons on the 

TSA-approved master crew and master non-crew lists will be permitted to 

operate, serve on, or travel on flights covered by this section. Until a 

carrier becomes a participant in the CBP-approved electronic interchange 

system, it must submit the required information in a format provided by 

TSA.

    (b) Changes to master lists. After the initial transmission of the 

master crew member and non-crew member lists to CBP, the carrier is 

obligated to update the lists as necessary. To add a name to either 

list, along with the required information set forth in paragraph (c) of 

this section, or to add or change information relative to a name already 

submitted, the carrier must transmit the information to CBP at least 24 

hours in advance of any flight the added or subject crew member or non-

crew member will be operating, serving on, or traveling on. A carrier 

must submit deletions from the lists as expeditiously as possible.

    (c) Master list information. The electronic master crew lists 

required under paragraph (a) of this section must contain the following 

information with respect to each crew member or non-crew member that 

operates, serves on, or travels on a carrier's flights that are covered 

by this section except that the information specified in paragraphs 

(c)(4), (5), (6), (7), and (10) of this section must be included on the 

manifest only on or after October 4, 2005:

requirements of this section do not apply to aircraft chartered by the 

U.S. Department of Defense.

    (e) Superseding amendments issued by TSA. One or more of the 

requirements of this section may be superseded by specific provisions 

of, amendments to, or alternative procedures authorized by TSA for 

compliance with an aviation security program, emergency amendment, or 

security directive issued by the TSA to an air carrier subject to the 

provisions of 49 CFR part 1544, 1546, or 1550. The amendments will have 

superseding effect only for the air carrier to which issued and only for
