We received the rule on February 24, 2016. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on March 3, 2016. 81 Fed. Reg. 11,364. The final rule amends TSA's civil aviation security regulations to specify that TSA may use advanced imaging technology (AIT) to screen individuals at security screening checkpoints. The final rule was issued to comply with a decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) v. United States Department of Homeland Security, 653 F.3d 1 (D.C. Cir. 2011), which ordered TSA to engage in notice-and-comment rulemaking on the use of AIT for passenger screening. Enclosed is our assessment of TSA's compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801 (a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our review of the procedural steps taken indicates that TSA complied with the applicable requirements. GAO-1 6-499R
