The following is an example outline for the required documentation for training TSA on the use and logistics of the CBIS.

• Startup and shut down procedures

• Overall bag flow from ticket counter to CBRA

Description of bag flow Identify Conveyor subsystems Conveyor subsystem nomenclatures Listing of Photo eye identification numbers correlated to conveyor subsystems

• Bag hygiene for the ticket counter induction and the reinsertion line

• BMA settings

• Fail-safe procedures

• Bag jam clearing procedures including at a minimum:

Applicable activation of e-stop controls (this is not a requirement for the actual clearing of the logical fault) Lock out/tag out procedures Removal of articles from the affected jam location Proper reinsertion of the affected articles either upstream or downstream of the jam location, depending on the specific zone (pre-

EDS, post-EDS, fail-safe, etc.). In any tracked portion of the EDS, care should be taken to ensure proper bag spacing when placing articles back onto the respective conveyors to ensure bags are not re-inserted into another bag's tracking window.

Restart of the affected conveyor subsystem via normal operating protocol Safe personnel maneuvering in and around the jam area Restrict bag jam clearance from an EDS to only authorized TSA personnel or other TSA designees

• E-stop procedures and zones

• CBIS OSR settings

List the available travel time for OSR per EDS line

• CBRA Procedures

Defining the CBIS BSD Statuses Cross reference of CBIS BSD Statuses to EDS disposition code Bag Removal from the BRP for Checked Baggage Inspection Systems A-4 December 30, 2022

Transfer of Bag Information from BRP to BIS Search for Unknown bags

• CBIS reporting – specifically the Daily EDS reports as outlined in Section 12.13.3 How to retrieve How to interpret

• Reintroduction Line procedures

• Appendix

Description of operations document for the CBIS Bag handling policy Fail-safe Procedures Jam procedures

• CBIS Interface

• OTK Mode for IQT

• Protocol for coordination aspects between OSR and CBRA

The Local TSA will supplement the CBIS training manuals with the following information:

• Train the OSARP refresher course (recommended)

• Provide applicable documented policies and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

Correct ETD protocol for Unknown Bags Proper protocol for alarm resolution

• Develop and train OOG procedures (valid vs. invalid)

• Update Staff Allocation Model to ensure proper staffing levels

• Ensure proper inventory of inspection station equipment (i.e. keys, tape, bolt cutter, box cutter)

• Confirm EDS unit location and serial number information for reporting purposes (Performance Management Information System, etc.)

• Specialized Screening – weapons, pets, etc.

A.4 Daily CBIS Report Examples

The following report examples are intended to provide designers and programmers with formats and the level of detail necessary to meet the reporting requirements stated in Section 12.13.3. Reports that contain SSI will contain appropriate markings.

The Daily CBIS Summary Report – Peak Hour will be identical in layout to the Daily CBIS Summary Report in layout and metrics but the reporting period will be the rolling peak hour of each day.

Reports will include footers containing term definitions and any equations used for metric calculations to provide transparent data interpretation.

These definitions and equations may differ from system to system and can depend on how the system is programmed to operate. Note that some figures show example footers with example definitions and calculations for illustrative purposes but are incomplete. Actual report footers will have definitions for each term on the report and all calculations. A separate page may be used if needed.

• Any change that may affect any portion of the system throughput feeding either into or out of the CBIS

• Any change that may affect bag presentation to the EDS units (e.g., merges upstream too close causing double bags to enter)

• Any change to the EDS interface or to how the CBIS handles the bag IDs and decisions

• Any change to the CBIS tracking model (i.e., shaft encoding pulses, merges downstream allowing one bag to encroach into another bag’s tracking window)

• Any changes to the bag allocation method

• Any change of any type from the exit of the EDS unit to the last clear bag divert point

• Any change of any type after the last chance divert point into the CBRA including the CBRA

CCRs are submitted to TSA ATSA Branch at Baseteam@tsa.dhs.gov.

A.6.2 CBIS Change Request Example

The following is an example of a Change Request document provided by Siemens. Designers should follow the same outline when they submit a design change request.

1 Introduction The purpose of this document is to describe the changes of the PLC code to be reviewed and approved by TSA or authorized agent.

2 Proposed Change Description

2.1 Purging of the Reconciliation Lookup Table for IR Bag

2.1.1 Detected Problem

When a bag arrives at CBRA with Unknown status it can be reintroduced in the system through the RI line. At the RI, the 10-digit IATA bag tag is scanned using a hand scanner or entered using the station display. Once scanned, the bag is tracked to EDS2 line and handled just like a new bag introduced at the ticket counter and scanned by ATR.

BHS includes a reconciliation scanner ATR SB1. The purpose of this scanner is to reconcile bags with the EDS decision when a bag is lost between exit of EDS and ATR SB1.

Because of the reconciliation process, special attention has to be paid to the reinserted bags that are screened twice. Procedure has to include provisions to prevent conditions when the bag on the first pass is cleared, on the second pass is alarmed, is lost in tracking downstream from the EDS and reconciled to the first clear decision. Algorithm of the current program handles this issue correctly. However, in order to completely avoid possibility of the manual intervention in the reconciliation process, additional safeguards are introduced.

2.1.2 Corrective Action

The 10-digit IATA bag tag of the re-inducted bag will be purged from the reconciliation table in order to guarantee that the bag will never reconcile with data from the first screening process.

Procedure was added to re-induct functionality (FC98, Network 69) to search through the look up table and delete the record created by the first screening.

2.1.3 Testing Procedure

In order to validate the requested change, the following test procedures will be performed:

1. Introduce a suspect bag upstream of ATR EDS2

2. Clear bag status from OSR after 10 sec to make sure that bag is routed to SB line

3. Delay bag at SB1-07 just after ATR SB1 to create loss of tracking

4. Re-induct bag from RI1-01

5. Verify that bag is Alarmed by EDS

6. Delay bag on SB1-02 to create loss of tracking

7. Verify that bag is reconciled on…
