Abstract: Under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA), TSA is responsible for security in all modes of transportation, including screening operations for passenger air transportation and for carrying out such other duties it considers appropriate relating to transportation security. See sec. 101(a) of ATSA, Pub. L. 107-71 (115 Stat. 597-598, Nov. 19, 2001), as codified at 49 U.S.C. 114(d) and (f). DHS Directive 110-02 established the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policy with respect to the acceptance of public speaking invitations by DHS employees and formally implemented the Office of Public Affairs DHS Speakers Bureau as well as DHS Component speaker bureaus. Based on these requirements, TSA created its own Speaker Bureau and modeled it after the DHS Speakers Bureau process to allow for the acceptance of public speaking invitations. To comply with the policy, TSA created the Speaker Request Form, which collects information on the requestor and the event a speaker would attend.
