          Subject: Department of Transportation, Transportation Security Administration:
                  Aviation Security Infrastructure Fees

          Pursuant to section 801(a) (2) (A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Department of Transportation (DOT), Transportation
          Security Administration, entitled Aviation Security Infrastructure Fees (RIN: 2110-
          AA02). We received the rule on February 25, 2002. It was published in the Federal
          Register as an interim final rule on February 20, 2002. 67 Fed. Reg. 7926.

          The interim final rule announces a fee that will be imposed on air carriers and
          foreign air carriers engaged in air transportation, foreign air transportation, and
          intrastate air transportation. The fee, described as the Aviation Security
          Infrastructure Fee, is in addition to the September 1 1 Security Fee imposed on
          passengers and will help defray the Transportation Security Administration's costs of
          providing U.S. civil aviation security services.

          Enclosed is our assessment of the DOT'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 indicates that the DOT complied with the applicable requirements.

          Assistant General Counsel, at (202) 512-8210. The official responsible for GAO
          evaluation work relating to the subject matter of the rule is John Anderson,
