## What this funds

The Air Cargo/Certified Cargo Screening Program fee supports security threat assessments of air cargo workers in the air cargo supply chain, including individuals authorized to screen cargo at designated cargo screening facilities. The purpose of the Indirect Air Carrier (IAC) and Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP) is to provide for the safety of persons and property traveling on flights provided by the aircraft operator, protect against acts of criminal violence or air piracy, and prevent or deter the introduction of explosives, incendiaries, weapons, and other prohibited items on board an aircraft. Toward this end, TSA conducts vetting for all personnel outlined in 49 CFR 1548 (IAC) and 1549 (CCSP).
