The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) is collecting this information to meet the
requirements of section 225, Division A, of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2019, Pub. L. 116-6 (Feb. 15, 2019; 133 Stat.
13). Under this provision, TSA may establish a pilot for public or
private entities regulated by TSA to request reimbursable screening
services outside of an existing primary passenger terminal
screening area where screening services are currently provided or
eligible to be provided under TSA’s annually appropriated passenger
screening program. For purposes of section 225, “screening
services” means “the screening of passengers, flight crews, and
their carry-on baggage and personal articles, and may include
checked baggage screening if that type of screening is performed at
an offsite location that is not part of a passenger terminal of a
commercial airport. The authority available under this section is
effective for fiscal years 2019 through 2021 and currently may be
used at not more than eight locations for transportation security
purposes. TSA is collecting this information as part of a process
for public and private entities regulated by TSA to request
screening services under the Reimbursable Screening Services
Program (RSSP).
