2. Purpose of the PGDS The main purpose of the PGDS is to expedite the nationwide installation of CBISs in an equitable, sustainable, and cost-effective manner
PGDS provides specific guidance on ways to implement CBISs that have:
Lower costs from both capital and life-cycle perspectives
Higher performance than the first generation of installed CBIS
PGDS establishes design standards that:
Clarify TSA’s operational parameters that must be met
Require evidence of the ability to meet these parameters during the planning and design process of the system
Address factors necessary to actively manage CBIS costs and performance
3. PGDS Methodology Establish common design principles and metrics to which all screening system designs must adhere
Consolidate collective industry experience and insights relating to best practices for planning, designing, and implementing baggage screening systems
Disseminate the latest information on screening technologies, in-line screening concepts, and screening protocols
Standardize the methodologies for planning, designing, and evaluating various system design alternatives
4. Key PGDS Objectives Achieve the lowest-cost CBIS solution
Define design standards
Understand the complexity of in-line screening systems and avoid the common pitfalls of first generation designs
Develop principles for appropriate sizing of CBISs, including methods for estimating demand and equipment requirements
Develop principles for accommodating growth beyond initial system sizing
Provide flexibility in baggage screening system designs and facilities
Use an integrated and participatory approach to the planning and design process, as well as the implementation process, by involving all relevant stakeholders
Upgrade the design review and approval process
5. PGDS Development
6. Conducted four follow-on studies in collaboration with industry
Design for CBIS flexibility (new Chapter 7)
CBRA design best practices (new Chapter 9)
CBIS O&M best practices (new Chapter 7)
CBIS cost eligibility (new Appendix F)
Assembled two industry working groups for four days and facilitated open-forum discussions related to the above-mentioned follow-on studies
7. Improved document usability
Reorganized outline to improve flow of document
Reduced repetitive text and edited content
Enhanced graphics to improve reader experience
Improved document format to streamline document production
Landscape format
Removed 11x17 tables and figures
Updated information
CBIS types and EDS machines
CBIS related cost assumptions
EDS operational assumptions (e.g. throughput, FAR, etc.)
EDS availability

11. PGDS v3.0 and Beyond TSA will continue to coordinate with the aviation industry to periodically update the Guidelines, and welcomes comments to PGDS v3.0
To facilitate input, TSA has established an email address, pgds@dhs.gov, to receive comments and suggestions from experts and the public
TSA encourages the use of the industry comment template provided in Appendix A of the Guidelines which can also be found in the following link http://www.tsa.gov/assets/xls/pgds_comment_form.xls
PGDS v4.0 anticipated release is October 2010
