The Transportation Security Administration announced it will delay some of the deadlines for the air cargo security rule is proposed last May. Due to the delay, companies will now have until mid-2007 to comply with the requirements.

Although some autumn deadlines remain in effect, TSA is pushing back the dates for different cargo groups to submit official Security Threat Assessments, for forwarders to train their freight handling agents under new security programs and for freight-related workers to go through criminal background checks and get new credentials.

Industry officials have warned for months they could not meet a series of deadlines kicking in this fall unless TSA first provided its long-awaited detailed security programs for each of seven industry groups. Privately, many said they expected the agency to wait until the rule was to take effect, and then delay it.
