Does the Twelve-five rule apply to part 91 operators? Can someone point me the appropriate citation verifying this info? Thanx

The program does not apply to those operating strictly under Part 91.

Twelve-Five Security Program


This rule introduces a new security program, the twelve-five program. It applies to operations conducted in an aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 12,500 pounds or more; in scheduled or charter service; carrying passengers or cargo or both; and not presently required to have a full program or partial security program. The contents of this new security program are similar to that for partial security programs. The main difference is that holders of twelve-five security programs are not required to participate in an airport operator-sponsored exercise of the airport contingency plan as described in §1544.301 (c). These operators are often small and conduct operations at airports without such contingency plans, or use only remote areas of airports that have them. Participation in this exercise may be very burdensome. Note that the airport operator may require any aircraft operator using its airport to participate is such exercises as a condition of using the airport.
