REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)

Issue

Canada’s aviation security regulatory instruments establish an essential framework for the federally regulated aviation industry and persons carrying out activities related to aviation in order to prepare for, prevent and respond to security threats and risks. While Transport Canada’s current aviation security regulatory framework is robust, enhancements must be made over time in order to continuously improve and deliver a secure transportation system for Canadians in the face of rapidly evolving threats.

Expert third-party reports [e.g. Air India Commission of Inquiry Final Report (2010) and Flight Plan: Final Report of the Advisory Panel on the Review of the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority Act (2006)] and industry feedback have indicated a need to modernize and streamline aviation security regulations. These reports and the recommendations in the 2005 Security Audit and 2007 Follow-Up Security Audit from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Security Audit Programme also call on Canada to harmonize its regulations with ICAO’s Annex 17, which calls on member states to set requirements for industry to establish, implement and maintain a written security program that is consistent with the member state’s National Civil Aviation Security Program. The proposed Regulations will enhance harmonization of Canada’s regulatory framework with international obligations and respond to recommendations from independent audits.

In addition, amendments to the Aeronautics Act pursuant to the Public Safety Act, 2002 require the disclosure into regulations of those Aviation Security Measures that fail to pass a confidentiality test.

The existing security regulations, the Canadian Aviation Security Regulations (CASRs), need to be updated and reorganized to accommodate the ICAO standard for aviation security programs, to disclose Security Measures that no longer compromise aviation security, and to provide an enhanced regulatory framework to support future enhancements to Canada’s aviation security program.

Objectives

The objective of the proposed Regulations is to streamline and renew the aviation security regulatory framework, fulfill requirements of the Public Safety Act, 2002, and, in accordance with the Cabinet Directive on Streamlining Regulations, shift the regulations to a more performance-based approach where practicable.

The existing regulatory framework needs to be revitalized and improved in order to

Ensure continued compliance with international obligations and standards;
Promote international competitiveness and ensure support for international aviation security efforts;
Increase effective and efficient management of security responsibilities and accountabilities for the aviation industry;
Better apply industry and government security resources against identifiable risks;
Improve the focus of security activities on performance and results; and
Establish an enhanced foundation for industry accountability for a comprehensive, systematic and programs-based approach to managing and discharging their security responsibilities.

The objective of the security program portion of this regulatory initiative is to engage industry, such as airports (termed aerodromes in legislation), air carriers, the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA), and other aviation security providers to be more involved and proactive in managing, coordinating, integrating and continuously improving security throughout their operations, which will enhance transportation security.

Furthermore, the following objectives would be achieved with the addition of security programs:

Better informed policy makers, airport operators and other stakeholders: This proposal would help industry move beyond passive compliance with regulations towards a more proactive and collaborative approach to security. The proposed Regulations seek to achieve better-informed stakeholders by having security practices documented and by having airports more involved in proactively managing, coordinating and integrating security in the overall operations. This in turn is expected to lead to more effective, cost-efficient, and risk-based decision-making, a heightened awareness and focus on security, an improved understanding of roles and responsibilities, and an increased level of information sharing among all stakeholders.

Increased capacity and capability to address security threats and incidents: The Department, airport operators and other key players will be better informed about the risks and vulnerabilities of a specific airport through a comprehensive, systemic and program-based approach to managing security, better enabling the aviation security system as a whole to detect, prevent, respond to and recover from security threats and incidents in a timely manner.

Description

The proposed Canadian Aviation Security Regulations (the Regulations) would repeal the existing CASRs and restructure and amend them as follows.

Restructuring CASRs

The existing CASRs would be updated and reorganized to create a more user-friendly structure that groups together requirements as they apply to different classes of airports. This restructuring has been undertaken after consultation with both government and industry stakeholders to respond to their concerns that requirements are located throughout the Regulations in sometimes confusing fashion. The restructured Regulations would be easier for stakeholders to read and would enable them to better understand their obligations. Restructuring would also support the introduction of future aviation security requirements, facilitate the streamlining of disclosed security measures, and sustain future changes to the entire regulatory framework by avoiding a piecemeal approach in the future. The major structural changes are as follows:

Provisions that apply to each class of aerodromes have been regrouped;
New separate parts have been added to regroup existing provisions regarding CATSA, ministerial powers and duties, and weapons, explosive substances or incendiary devices;
Several portions of the proposed Regulations have been reserved or left blank to allow for the addition of sections that would be necessary to address new threats or to plan for upcoming parts to the Regulations; and
Designated Provisions Regulations as they apply to aviation security would be streamlined into the proposed CASRs to further consolidate requirements, and facilitate enforcement and compliance efforts.

Restructuring would support a more effective enforcement regime, because, with obligations grouped together according to class of airport, oversight and enforcement expectations would be clarified and more consistent across the country.

Disclosure of aerodrome security measures

Amendments to the Aeronautics Act pursuant to the Public Safety Act modified the circumstances under which the Minister of Transport may make confidential security measures when security would be compromised if the subject were to be set out in regulations. The amendments to the Aeronautics Act set out a process to convert to regulations those security measures that, in the opinion of the Minister of Transport, would not compromise aviation security if made as regulations. The proposed Regulations would be structured such that those security measures deemed appropriate for disclosure as regulation would be easily streamlined into the Regulations. Key stakeholders, including industry (airports, airlines, airport tenants), unions and U.S. authorities, have been consulted and continue to be consulted as a part of this process. Once the Minister of Transport is of the opinion that an existing security measure would not compromise aviation security, he will, as per the process set out in the Aeronautics Act, publish a notice in the Canada Gazette, Part I, that sets out the substance of the security measure prior to incorporating any new requirements into regulations.

Security programs

Recognizing the challenges to industry to implement airport security programs (ASPs), implementation of the ASP elements would be done in two phases to allow some foundational elements to be put in place first. The phased approach would allow stakeholders to build capacity and best practices, providing immediate enhanced security performance in the short term while giving more time to address issues associated with future requirements.

The proposed Regulations would require all 89 designated airports (i.e. those airports with Canadian Air Transport Security Authority screening) to develop and implement the foundational elements of an airport security program. These elements would be inherent to future implementation of a programs-based approach, as well as other essential regulatory elements (i.e. definitions, application, etc.). Proposed security program elements would lead to immediate enhancement in security management and best practices, and form the foundation to future regulatory requirements.

Key foundational requirements for aerodrome operators for airport security programs included in the proposed Regulations are as follows:

Define and document the assigned aerodrome-related security roles and responsibilities of each of the operator’s employee groups;
Develop a security policy statement that establishes an overall commitment and direction for aerodrome security and sets out the operator’s security objectives;
The operator of an aerodrome must document how it achieves compliance with the aviation security provisions of the Act and the regulatory requirements that apply to it;
Establish and implement a security awareness program that promotes a culture of security vigilance and awareness;
Establish and implement a process for managing risk information to ensure informed decision-making;
Establish and implement a process for receiving, retaining, disclosing and disposing of sensitive information respecting aviation security to protect that information from unauthorized access;
Establish a process for disseminating aviation security information;
Identify a Security Official who is responsible for

(a) the coordination and oversight of security controls and procedures at the aerodrome, and
(b) acting as the principal contact between the operator and the Minister with respect to security matters including the airport’s security program; and

Establish a security committee.

Key elements of the proposed regulatory framework for primary security line (PSL) partners (including tenants) at Class I airports (i.e. those who are on the PSL and have a restricted area access point) include

Identifying a Security Official who is responsible for

(a) the coordination and oversight of the day-to-day implementation of requirements that apply to PSL partners, and
(b) acting as the principal contact between the PSL partners, the operator of the aerodrome and the Minister with respect to security matters including requirements that apply to PSL partners;

Defining and document airport security roles and responsibilities of its employees who require access to the restricted area;

Establishing corrective actions to mitigate airport security risks, incidents and breaches in respect of the primary security line;
Establishing a security awareness program for employees who require access to the restricted area and who have not already been covered by the airport’s security awareness program; and
Providing the following information to the airport operator:

(a) Define and document the assigned roles and responsibilities of employees that require access to restricted areas and their airport security roles and responsibilities, and
(b) Information on how the PSL Partner receives, retains, discloses and disposes of sensitive information related to airport security (if they do these activities).

Primary security line partners at all classes of airport will have to provide to the airport operator information on measures, procedures and processes they have in place for protecting the security of the restricted area and preventing breaches of the PSL (note: the proposed Regulations would not require the creation of measures and procedures; rather, they must provide information to the airport on what they have in place).

Phase II will include ASP elements such as airport security/ risk assessments; security plans that articulate corrective actions based on risks identified and prioritized in the security/risk assessment (including regulated Aviation Security Levels that will require specified actions to address heightened threat conditions); the establishment of a Multi-Agency Advisory Committee, which is a body composed of law enforcement and security agencies present at airports to share information related to threats and vulnerabilities for the purposes of carrying out an informed security/ risk assessment; security personnel competencies; and detailed documentation regarding emergency response procedures. These amendments will be subject to the regulatory process, including prepublication in the Canada Gazette, Part I.

Regulatory and non-regulatory options considered

Voluntary guidelines were considered as means for encouraging aerodrome operators to document and coordinate all security systems and processes at an airport in accordance with security industry “best practices”. However, mandatory requirements to document, coordinate, and oversee the total of all security operations at airports were considered the most viable alternative as they will ensure timely co-operation in the management of unpredictable aviation security threats and incidents. Furthermore, in the absence of documentation and co-ordination requirements, there is no assurance that security systems and processes will be optimally managed. Unsystematic security management may jeopardize the safety of the airport community and the traveling public.

Due to the need to respond to recommendations to restructure the CASRs, amending the existing CASRs was not a practical option. As a result, the CASRs are being repealed and replaced.

Additionally, a minimalist approach was taken to the extent possible. For example, where considered feasible, some initially proposed regulatory requirements would be addressed through guidelines. Also, an outcomes-based approach has been taken to proposed airport security program regulations, with proposed regulations providing required outcomes rather than requirements for “how” security programs should be achieved.

Benefits and costs

Three stakeholder groups were identified as being the most affected by proposed ASP regulations: airports, primary security line partners (including tenants) and the federal government.

The potential costs and benefits of ASPs were identified through a literature review concerning ICAO Annex 17 expectations, airport security program requirements of Canada’s key allies, economic theory and analysis pertaining to costs of security-related regulations and macro-economic impacts, as well as some primary research and discussions with stakeholders. The benefits have been quantified in the Cost-Benefit Report using a “break-even” (inverse cost-benefit) analysis based on the Regulations having an impact on the probability of Canada experiencing significant attacks in the 10 years following the issuance of the proposed Regulations. The entire cost-benefits analysis that was conducted for the amendments to the Canadian Aviation Security Regulations is available upon request. (see footnote 1)

The annual risk that Canada faces with regard to a potential terrorist attack can be represented as the chance that an attack would successfully take place, multiplied by the consequences of that attack. The amendments to the Regulations are unlikely to impact the consequences of a successful attack, but it may impact the chance of a terrorist attack being attempted and succeeding.

The estimated total operating cost for the 89 designated airports and some 240 primary security line partners is $70.8M over 10 years. The initial annual costs range from $550,000 for the largest international airports to $70,000 for smaller regional airports. Ongoing, the average annual costs range from $50,000 (smaller regional airports) to $225,000 (largest international airports).

Additional operating costs associated with new provisions may be incurred where existing security practices significantly differ from new requirements, and will vary depending on the ability to accommodate security requirements into existing business practices. For example,

Costs associated with the requirement to institute a Security Official and a Security Committee will occur only where such offices and committees are not already effectively in place;
Some minimal costs may be incurred by airport operators who do not effectively document security roles and responsibilities, nor have a system in place for managing and disseminating aviation security information; and

There will be minimal costs incurred by developing and implementing security awareness programs, particularly where there are none already in place.

Costs to government will be those associated with monitoring and enforcing the regulations, and will be absorbed within existing resource allocations.

Notwithstanding a breakeven analysis, given the potentially high cost of an act or attempted act of unlawful interference with civil aviation, both monetary and psychological, enhanced security practices may produce very significant benefits that exceed the projected costs.

The benefits of the proposed ASP Regulations are mainly qualitative. Such benefits would be achieved through the proposed Regulations because

Documented programs would improve oversight of security roles and responsibilities for personnel with aviation security duties;
Documented programs would facilitate and improve tracking security practices and procedures, as well as overall security management;
Documented programs would coordinate the security regimes of all organizations with civil aviation security mandates at airports through enhanced information-sharing and security risk management; and
Security program regulations would better align Canada with international standards and recommended practices, as well as further enhance Canada’s reputation in the field of international civil aviation.

Broadly speaking, the key benefits from the proposed Regulations are the human and economic costs avoided through the reduction in the probability of acts of unlawful interference with civil aviation, such as a terrorist attack. The raison d’être of the CASRs is to reduce the probability of a successful act of unlawful interference with civil aviation and to minimize the negative impact of the threat of or attempts to commit acts of unlawful interference with civil aviation on Canadians and the economy. The major benefits of the proposed Regulations are therefore the costs potentially avoided in areas that are vulnerable to terrorist threats, because of the proposed Regulations. Trade, tourism and insurance sectors are particularly affected by terrorism or terrorism threats. The shocks to these sectors are transmitted to other important economic variables such as productivity.

Canadians and the Canadian economy		Fewer successful aviation security breaches (potential lives saved and injuries avoided) Reduce the risk of acts or attempted acts of unlawful interference with civil aviation that disrupt air travel (i.e. reduced social costs of delays and wait times directly caused by act or attempted act of terrorism) Ensure the continued access to the international aviation system by fully aligning with ICAO standards and recommended practices
Canadian government		Better insight into aviation security More effective performance-based management of aviation security More effective communications and information exchange Maintenance of reputation in international civil aviation
Airports		Increased airport security Improved business continuity Improved knowledge and information management Improved transition planning More effective communications and information exchange
Partners		Increased security of operations Improved business continuity Improved knowledge and information management Improved transition planning More effective communications and information exchange

* The quantitative benefit analysis has identified that the amendments must at least bring about a reduction in the annual chance of a terrorist attack of 0.8%. While reducing the probability of a successful act of unlawful interference with civil aviation may be difficult, quantification may be made with certain assumptions. Assuming a cost of the amendments to the Regulations of $70.8 million, and an impact cost of a successful act of unlawful interference with civil aviation, such as a terrorist attack, of $1.225 billion at the 8% discount rate, the proposed Regulations must bring about a reduction in the annual chance of a successful attack of 0.8% for amendments to break even, and justify the benefit against the impact of a successful act of unlawful interference with civil aviation. (See the Cost-Benefit Report for details, which is available on request via the contact details below.)

Rationale

The proposed Regulations would restructure the existing CASRs, grouping together requirements as they apply to different classes of airports. This restructuring has been undertaken after consultation with stakeholders to respond to their concerns that requirements are located throughout the regulations in sometimes confusing fashion. The restructured Regulations would be easier for stakeholders to read and understand their obligations. Restructuring would also support the introduction of future aviation security requirements, facilitate the streamlining of disclosed security measures as defined under the Aeronautics Act, and sustain future changes to the entire regulatory framework by avoiding a piecemeal approach in the future.

Canada, as a member state of ICAO, is expected to conform to the international standard of having documented security programs for its aviation industry and bring this requirement into its domestic regulations. This proposal would lay the groundwork and, in combination with future regulations, help harmonize Canada’s international obligations; ensuring that Canada does not face a loss of credibility internationally.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, the airport security program initiative was inspired and informed by the findings and recommendations in the Final Report of the Advisory Panel on the Five Year Review of the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority Act (CATSA), which also recommended the development and implementation of security programs.

Airport security programs would be designed to promote coordination and integration of security at airports, especially for access control, clarify roles and responsibilities, and result in thorough, clearly outlined and consistent mitigation measures. Airport security programs will include security assessments to identify security gaps at the airport and ensure that mitigation strategies are developed and clearly outlined. This will provide additional assurance that security gaps at airports are identified and resolved.

Consultation

The proposed regulatory amendments and restructuring were developed using feedback and input from extensive consultations with stakeholders. Key participants in the consultation process included aerodrome operators, air carriers, the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA), other government departments and agencies, NAV CANADA, industry associations, labour groups and other organizations and businesses operating on security boundary lines at airports who have aviation security roles and responsibilities.

Stakeholder groups have been consulted throughout the development of the proposed amendments through various mechanisms including face-to-face meetings, pilot project activities, information sessions and direct mail consultations. As an official forum, Transport Canada has informed, engaged and consulted key participants represented on the Aviation Security Regulatory Review Technical Committee which includes but is not limited to Aéroport de Québec, Greater Toronto Airport Authority (GTAA), Ottawa International Airport Authority, Kelowna International Airport, Yellowknife Airport, Toronto City Centre Airport, Victoria Airport Authority, West Kootenay Regional (Castlegar) Airport, Air Canada, WestJet, Air Transat, First Air, Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA), Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), Air Canada Pilots Association (ACPA), International Air Transport Association (IATA), Air Transport Association of Canada (ATAC), Canadian Airports Council (CAC), Canadian Business Aviation Association (CBAA), Northern Air Transport Association (NATA), Regional Community Airports Coalition of Canada (RCACC), Conseil des aéroports du Québec (CAQ), National Airlines Council of Canada (NACC), Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), Teamsters Canada, Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), CARA Operations Limited - Airline Solutions, Purolator Courier Ltd., Federal Express Canada Ltd. (FedEx), DHL Express (Canada) Ltd, CATSA, and the Government of the Northwest Territories.

In addition, Transport Canada has consulted extensively with stakeholders concerning the disclosure process of confidential security measures. The consultations have been undertaken in order to identify which security measures would be appropriate for future disclosure. The United States Department of Homeland Security, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was also consulted on requirements that may no longer need to be kept confidential that could be transferred to public regulation which forms part of these proposed amendments.

As part of Transport Canada’s preliminary consultations, a notice of intent was published in the Canada Gazette March 27, 2010 edition requesting comments from the public on the intention to amend the Canadian Aviation Security Regulations to include, among other things, requirements for airport security programs. The notice provided an overview of the proposed regulatory principles being considered by the Department.

These consultations have resulted in a phased approach to the proposed Regulations related to the aviation security program regime. Foundational elements would be implemented first, resulting in enhanced security management and practices, and subsequent assessment to further improve security operations. Consultations have also resulted in refining the overall scope in terms of what really needs to be regulated. For example, consultations identified where Transport Canada was inadvertently impacting assignment of management responsibilities within industry organizations, clarifying security official requirements. Moreover, requirements for primary security line partners (such as tenants) at airports who have a role to play in overall airport security were refined to focus on essential activities, including providing information to airports, to support development of airport security programs.

Environmental impact

In accordance with the Cabinet Directive on the Environmental Assessment of Policy, Plan and Program Proposals, and Transport Canada’s Policy Statement on Strategic Environmental Assessment, the strategic environmental assessment (SEA) process was followed for these proposed regulations, and a preliminary scan was completed. The preliminary scan concluded that the proposal is not likely to have important environmental effects.

Implementation, enforcement and service standards

Transport Canada provides rigorous oversight and enforcement of the Aeronautics Act and its related legislative instruments through a national network of aviation security inspectors. This initiative will include a pool of inspectors to be deployed regionally to the areas of greatest need. The amended regulations would continue to detail the requirements against which inspectors will provide oversight and enforcement.

Transport Canada’s philosophy on the enforcement of the Canadian Aviation Security Regulations stresses voluntary compliance as the preferred means of achieving a secure aviation environment. Where compliance is not achieved on a voluntary basis or where there are flagrant violations, enforcement action may be taken in the form of administrative monetary penalties, judicial sanctions or the cancellation, suspension or revocation of Canadian aviation documents.

To ensure compliance with aviation security legislation, a regular cycle of inspections of security activities is conducted at airports at a frequency based on risk assessment. Transport Canada has an inspection program in place in all regions of the country, including on-site security inspectors at nine international airports, that includes regular inspections, daily monitoring of security activities and investigation of complaints. Inspection and enforcement practices are documented in the Transport Canada Inspection and Enforcement Manual.

Moreover, extensive consultation with security inspectors and industry, as well as pilot projects with industry have been undertaken to develop guidance material to ensure consistent and effective enforcement and compliance.

Performance measurement and evaluation

While Transport Canada recognizes that the results of security regulation are difficult to measure because they pertain mainly to detection and prevention, improvements in security performance should be evident following implementation of security programs due to enhanced collaborative working relationships and a more proactive approach to achieving security objectives. Additionally, Transport Canada will be looking to the airport community to provide further information on whether these new proposals have made noticeable improvements to security in their facilities.

Transport Canada has consulted on and continues to prepare for transition, implementation and oversight activities, including communications and awareness materials, for internal and external stakeholders. The Department is also developing and implementing new training for security inspectors and others involved in supporting stakeholder and departmental capacity to develop and implement proposed security program regulations. Furthermore, the Department is establishing oversight policies and practices supporting stakeholder development and implementation of security program requirements through education, mentoring and proposed oversight of progress.

Moreover, Transport Canada is currently developing an Aviation Security Regulatory Performance Measurement and Evaluation Framework, which would be applied to the airport security program portions of the proposed Regulations. The Framework is intended to use evidence-based analysis, through monitoring and tracking of enforcement results, to identify whether the intended results of regulation are being achieved.

The amendments contribute to several key aviation security outcomes, including

increased alignment of aviation security with risk;
increased compatibility with international trading partners; and
more effective enforcement and compliance with the regulations.
