The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced effective immediately that aircraft owners and operators who wish to have aircraft tail numbers blocked can now submit requests directly to the FAA without stating a reason.
According to the press release:
As a result of language in the fiscal year 2012 appropriations bill, the FAA is withdrawing its June 3, 2011 policy (76 Fed. Reg. 32,258-32,265) of requiring aircraft owners or operators to submit a Certified Security Concern in order to have their aircraft tail number blocked from view on the FAA’s Aircraft Situation Display to Industry (ASDI) or National Airspace System Status Information (NASSI).
