on downstream processes. In particular, concessions and the security checkpoint are likely to be
affected by any significant changes in passenger throughput. It is important for the TSA and con-
cessionaires to be included in the planning stages in order to be prepared for the changes they
are likely to experience. Figure 8 shows the opening screen of the Simulation Tool.
As outlined in Figures 7 and 8, the following two sections represent User Guides for both com-
ponents of the Decision-Making Tool.
Assessment Tool--User Guide
User Identification
The User Identification worksheet, as shown in Figure 9, is for documentation purposes. This
sheet allows the user to input the name of airport that is being assessed, the date of assessment, the
person leading the effort, and the contributors, including respective company and department affil-

iations for each individual. This information is used to create the title page to the Assessment
Report, which is discussed later in this Guide. The user shall type in data as appropriate.
Airport Profile
The Airport Profile worksheet, as shown in Figure 10, is designed to capture the unique mix of
characteristics that make up the subject airport, namely, the airport being assessed. This sheet allows
the user to select criteria from a range of categories that best describe the airport. This information
is used to identify the appropriate self-tagging pros and cons for that airport. The user shall select
"yes" in the drop down box for each characteristic that accurately describes the subject airport.
Business Driver Assessment
The Business Driver Assessment worksheet, as shown in Figure 11, is designed to identify the
appropriate self-tagging strategy for the subject airport based on its primary business drivers.
This sheet allows the user to rank a set of predefined business drivers as high, medium, or low
priority. This information is used to provide the user with a description of the self-tagging strate-
gies that will provide the biggest benefit and have the highest level of success. The user shall select
the appropriate priority level from the drop down box next to each business driver.

Commercial Impact Assessment
The Commercial Impact Assessment worksheet, as shown in Figure 12, is designed to identify
the commercial prerequisites to implementation that must be addressed to achieve a successful
self-tagging program. This sheet allows the user to select the appropriate answer to a set of key
questions. This information is used not only to determine the prerequisites that must be met,
but also to return a breakdown of the basis for the issue, the impact it will have, the resulting
action that is required, and the cost elements associated with it. The user shall select either "yes"
or "no" from the drop down box next to each question.

Facility Impact Assessment
The Facility Impact Assessment worksheet, as shown in Figure 13, is designed to identify the
facility prerequisites to implementation that must be addressed to achieve a successful self-tagging
program. This sheet allows the user to select the appropriate answer to a set of key questions. This
information is used to determine not only the prerequisites that must be met, but also to return
a breakdown of the basis for the issue, the impact it will have, the resulting action that is required,
and the cost elements associated with it. The user shall select either "yes" or "no" from the drop
down box next to each question.
Legal/Financial/Risk Impact Assessment
The Legal/Financial/Risk Impact Assessment worksheet, as shown in Figure 14, is designed to
identify the legal, financial, and risk prerequisites to implementation that must be addressed to
achieve a successful self-tagging program. This sheet allows the user to select the appropriate
answer to a set of key questions. This information is used to determine not only the prerequi-

questions. This information is used to determine not only the prerequisites that must be met,
but also to return a breakdown of the basis for the issue, the impact it will have, the resulting
action that is required, and the cost elements associated with it. The user shall select either "yes"
or "no" from the drop down box next to each question.
Regulatory/Security Impact Assessment
The Regulatory/Security Impact Assessment worksheet, as shown in Figure 16, is designed to
identify the regulatory and security prerequisites to implementation that must be addressed to
achieve a successful self-tagging program. This sheet allows the user to select the appropriate
answer to a set of key questions. This information is used to determine not only the prerequi-
sites that must be met, but also to return a breakdown of the basis for the issue, the impact it will
have, the resulting action that is required, and the cost elements associated with it. The user shall
select either "yes" or "no" from the drop down box next to each question.
Technical Impact Assessment
The Technical Impact Assessment worksheet, as shown in Figure 17, is designed to identify
the technical prerequisites to implementation that must be addressed to achieve a successful self-
tagging program. This sheet allows the user to select the appropriate answer to a set of key ques-
tions. This information is used to determine not only the prerequisites that must be met, but also
to return a breakdown of the basis for the issue, the impact it will have, the resulting action that
is required, and the cost elements associated with it. The user shall select either "yes" or "no"
from the drop down box next to each question.
Assessment Report
The Assessment Report is the comprehensive result of each of the individual assessments. It will
define the self-tagging pros and cons for the specific subject airport, the appropriate self-tagging
strategies, and the prerequisites for implementation that must be met to achieve success. The
Assessment Report is preformatted for printing and is automatically generated using macros. As
such, when the Assessment Tool is opened, the user must select the option to enable macros.
After completing each of the assessments, the user must press the "Create Assessment Report"
button on the "Self-Tagging Assessment Tool Outline" tab to generate the report. Figure 18
shows a sample cover page of this report.
