Participants also receive NATA FAA Medical Certification Services at no additional charge. NATA and Harvey Watt & Co. re- cently updated the program to provide NATA members with different levels of coverage to meet their individ- ual corporate financial and disability benefits needs. NATA Compliance Services: In 2001, NATA Compliance Services (NATACS) was formed to provide personnel regu- latory support and services to the aviation industry through TSA Security Program fingerprinting services, FAA Pilot Records Improvement Act compliance, FAA/DOT anti-drug and alcohol misuse prevention program management ser- vices, TSA security training, FAA/DOT safety training, and multiple crew and airport badging solutions. Its most recent product and service introduction, following the successful and popular Known Crewmember® offering is CrewID® CrewID® . : The demand for a secure and globally recognized credential inspired NATACS to develop CrewID® which meets ICAO Annex 9 and Annex 17, as well as UN Security Council Resolution 2309 recommendations and require- ments.
