Dear Public Health Service Officers,
I am excited to announce that United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps officers have been automatically enrolled into the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) PreCheck® program effective February 2021. This effort has been the result of many years of work, and leadership taking your feedback into consideration.
In order for officers to remain compliant with the TSA PreCheck® enrollment requirements, you must:
- At a minimum, possess a Tier 3 clearance with childcare check or an appropriate higher level of clearance for your role within your agency;
- Consistently maintain a Tier 3 or higher security clearance level and;
- Have continual service as a Uniformed Service Member.
If you need assistance or have a question about your TSA PreCheck® status prior to travel please call the TSA Contact Center at (866) 289-9673. If you have questions about your security level clearance, please contact your agency liaison.
Standing with you In Officio Salutis.
Respectfully,
Susan M. Orsega
RADM, USPHS
Acting Surgeon General
Director, Commissioned Corps Headquarters
