Step 1: Notifying BART 

1. FAA Certificate Number 
   
2. TSA Submission Code
   
3. Completed  Airline Operational Profile Document (attached to this article)
   
   

Email Subject: “Seagil Software, LLC, - {airline name}, Forgo Testing

“{Airline Name and 3 or 4 character identifier} the regulated party, elects to abstain/forgo individual testing with TSA’s Secure Flight. {Aircraft Operator name} is relying on the testing our contracted service provider, Seagil Software, has performed on our behalf. TSA will support individual testing with any AO electing to do so.

Regards,
{Person of Contact}"

Step 3: Setup in BART

1. Navigate to the DHS setup page (Gear > All Settings > Programs > Integrations > DHS)
   
2. Enter in required fields
   
1. Company Name
   
2. Carrier Name
   
3. Carrier Code
   
4. Contact Name
   
5. Phone
6. Fax
   
3. Check the box acknowledging the waiver has been sent to the TSA. Do not check this box until TSA has acknowledged your waiver.
   
4. Once the box is checked and the page is saved, BART will begin processing your manifests on your behalf. Other forms of TSA checking will be disabled in BART. 
   
5. Disable TSA checks from showing on reports (Gear > all settings > programs > schedules > flight editing - TSA Checks: TSA on Trip Sheet)
6. Ensure all required fields are entered for all passengers
   
1. Passenger First Name
   
2. Passenger Last Name
   
3. Passenger Date of Birth
   
4. Passenger Gender (if no gender is entered, BART will send "Undisclosed")

Step 4: Processing a Manifest

1. Submit a manifest for the first time to the DHS router using More > Submit to DHS. (This step is only required once per trip. After the initial submission, all changes will be sent automatically after saving the trip.)
   
2. According to TSA guidelines, manifests should be submitted starting at the 72 hour mark, up until time the doors close on the aircraft. 
   
3. When the following criteria is met, BART will send the manifest through the DHS router to the TSA when the user clicks the “Submit to DHS” button. 
   
1. The scheduled departure time is not in the past
2. The flight departs or arrives into the United States
3. The flight status IS NOT canceled
4. The flight leg is not on a broker aircraft
5. The regulation is Part 135 (Leg Type = Charter)
   
6. All passenger data is complete (if any passenger data is missing, no passenger data is sent! You much correct the missing data and resubmit)
   

4. After each save, if a qualifying change is made to a manifest, the manifest will automatically be re-sent to DHS. Passenger status will not update on the screen until the page is refreshed, the trip is saved again, or you exit the trip and re-open. 
   

   

   Qualifying changes include:
   

   • Route change
     

   • Passenger is added or removed from the manifest
     

   • Passenger's information such as First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Gender or Date of Birth are updated in BART

5. Once TSA has the flight manifests, TSA will continue vetting as new lists are published. If the status of a passenger changes, BART will receive a message and the passenger status will be updated in the trip. The email address setup on the DHS settings page will also be notified.
