Search 49 U.S.C. § 44906 : US Code - Section 44906: Foreign air carrier security programs

The Under Secretary of Transportation for Security shall continue
in effect the requirement of section 129.25 of title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations, that a foreign air carrier must adopt and use
a security program approved by the Under Secretary. The Under
Secretary shall not approve a security program of a foreign air
carrier under section 129.25, or any successor regulation, unless
the security program requires the foreign air carrier in its
operations to and from airports in the United States to adhere to
the identical security measures that the Under Secretary requires
air carriers serving the same airports to adhere to. The foregoing
requirement shall not be interpreted to limit the ability of the
Under Secretary to impose additional security measures on a foreign
air carrier or an air carrier when the Under Secretary determines
that a specific threat warrants such additional measures. The Under
Secretary shall prescribe regulations to carry out this section.
