These Regulations enable the Secretary of State to maintain a list of air cargo agents who are approved for purposes related to aviation security (referred to as the “list of security approved air cargo agents”), and include provisions relatiang to the application and requirements for listing (regulations 3, 5 and 6). They also include supplementary provisions relating to the refusal of inclusion on such a list, and removal from the list (regulations 8 and 10)
The Regulations extend the provisions of Part II of the Aviation Security Act 1982 which apply to persons permitted to have access to a restricted zone of an aerodrome for the activities of a business, to air cargo agents on this list (regulation 11).
The Regulations also amend the provisions of sections 21A(2) and 21B(3) of the Aviation Security Act 1982 so as to include references to air cargo agents on the list (regulation 12).
