If AQQ experiences an outage are carriers to transmit their lists in batch format or follow another procedure (i.e., contact TSA to vet the watchlist)?
During the testing CBP will work with carriers to establish additional outage procedures based on their operational processes, including transmitting data from alternate locations or using alternate transmission methods such as switching from AQQ to Batch methods. Carriers are encouraged to submit APIS data early in the process to receive screening responses well before securing of the aircraft, in turn limiting the impact of outages.
