3.0 BACKGROUND (1) As a federal regulator, Transport Canada (TC) provides to all its Inspectors an official designation ID card and, where required, a certificate of designation (together referred to as credentials ). (2) These credentials identify both the Inspector/Officer and the powers, duties and functions that the Inspector/Officer is authorized to exercise or perform. (3) Where required, TC designation ID cards will also have biometric capabilities to be compatible with airport access control systems (RAIC-compatible). (4) The Protocol for Official TC Inspector Credentials, Badges and Stamps (RDIMS 2131014) stipulates that the TC designation ID Card is the primary means of identification for all Transport Canada Inspectors. (5) The Inspector Badge is to be used only as a means of last resort. At all times, the Badge is to remain in the leather case that has been provided, with the flap covering the Badge. The Badge is to be shown only if required to do so. The Badge is not to be worn or displayed on any clothing of any type. (6) It is the responsibility of each functional authority within Safety and Security to determine and identify the Inspectors that require TC designation ID cards, RAIC-compatible TC designation ID cards, badges and stamps. (7) In accordance with Civil Aviation Directive 7A Issuance and Monitoring of Official credentials for Ministerial Delegation of Authority, it is Civil Aviation policy that: (a) An employee, in a position governed by a Delegation of Authority Schedule, will be issued an official designation ID card to demonstrate evidence of the authority associated with that position. (b) This is conditional on completing mandatory training as listed in CAD 7. Note: CAD 7, CAD 7A, CAD 10 and the Ministerial Delegation of Authority document will also be amended to reflect, where applicable, the elements of this CAD and also to reflect the TCCA organisational changes. 4.0 OFFICIAL CREDENTIALS The elements of the official credentials to be considered for all TC delegated officials: A TC Designation ID card; and A Certificate of Designation card Inspector stamp Biometric Restricted Area Identity Card (RAIC) - compatible TC designation ID card Inspector badge 5.0 CRITERIA FOR OFFICIAL CREDENTIALS 5.1 Criteria to Consider for the TC Designation ID Card and the Certificate of Designation Card(s) (1) A TC designation ID Card and a Certificate of Designation Card will be provided: (a) For all positions within Delegation Schedules that specify the following authorities pursuant to the Aeronautics Act: (i) Subsection 8.7(1) Subject to subsection 8.7(4) of the Aeronautics Act:
