             Subject: Review of the Transportation Security Administration's Air Cargo Screening
             Exemptions Report

             This report formally transmits the attached briefing in response to section 1602(b) of the
             Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007. The act requires
             the Comptroller General to provide an assessment of the methodology used by the
             Secretary of Homeland Security for maintaining, changing or eliminating an exemption
             under 49 U.S.C. § 44901(i)(1). We provided the mandated reporting committees with a
             restricted version of this briefing in July 2008. Based on the results of our review, we are
             not making any recommendations for congressional consideration or agency action. All
             information considered Sensitive Security Information by the Transportation Security
             Administration has been removed from this product.

             We are sending copies of this report to the appropriate congressional committees, the
             Secretary of Homeland Security, and other interested parties. This report will also be
             available at no charge on our Web site at h .lp:/www.gao.gov. Should you or your staff
