Which document is authored by the ASC as part of its duties?

• A. Emergency Response Guide
• B. Aviation Security Manual
• C. Airport Security Program (ASP)
• D. National Security Directive

Answer: (C)

This question tests understanding of which document the ASC authors as part of its duties. The Airport Security Program (ASP) is the airport’s tailored security plan that must be developed and maintained to meet TSA requirements, outlining how security is implemented across the facility—covering access control, screening, credentialing, surveillance, drills, and audits. It is authored by the ASC in coordination with security stakeholders to establish the formal security framework for the airport, and it is updated as regulations or operations change. The other options serve different roles: the Emergency Response Guide is for hazmat incident response; an Aviation Security Manual is typically issued by the appropriate aviation authority and is not the primary airport security program authored by the ASC; a National Security Directive is a broad national policy document, not an airport-specific program authored by the ASC.
