            Treating Small Airports with Fairness Act of 2016

 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security on March 23, 2016


 SUMMARY

Under current law, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is required to screen
passengers and property on scheduled commercial flights and some charter flights
involving aircraft that meet certain capacity-related specifications. Broadly speaking, the
agency oversees or conducts screening at most airports with commercial service; for all
other airports, the agency uses a risk-based methodology for determining appropriate
policies for security-related screening of passengers and cargo.

H.R. 4549 would require TSA to provide screening services at certain airports that lost or
experienced a disruption in service by commercial airlines after January 1, 2013. Based on
information from the agency, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost
$33 million over the 2017-2021 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts.

Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply because enacting H.R. 4549 would not affect direct
spending or revenues. CBO estimates that enacting the bill would not increase net direct
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in
2027.

H.R. 4549 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal
governments.
