PART 1520_PROTECTION OF SENSITIVE SECURITY INFORMATION--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  1520.1  Scope.

    (a) Applicability. This part governs the maintenance, safeguarding, 
and disclosure of records and information that TSA has determined to be 
Sensitive Security Information, as defined in Sec.  1520.5. This part 
does not apply to the maintenance, safeguarding, or disclosure of 
classified national security information, as defined by Executive Order 
12968, or to other sensitive unclassified information that is not SSI, 
but that nonetheless may be exempt from public disclosure under the 
Freedom of Information Act. In addition, in the case of information that 
has been designated as critical infrastructure information under section 
214 of the Homeland Security Act, the receipt, maintenance, or 
disclosure of such information by a Federal agency or employee is 
governed by section 214 and any implementing regulations, not by this 
part.
    (b) Delegation. The authority of TSA and the Coast Guard under this 
part may be further delegated within TSA and the Coast Guard, 
respectively.
