This bill, titled the Funding for Aviation Screeners and Threat Elimination Restoration Act (FASTER Act), changes how passenger aviation security fees are handled in federal accounts. It removes a requirement that a portion of those fees be recorded as offsetting receipts and sent to the general fund of the Treasury. Instead, the bill directs that the fees be deposited into a separate Treasury account. That account would be available to the Administrator to pay the costs of the activities and services for which the fee is charged. The bill also makes related technical changes to Section 44940 of title 49.
If you pay passenger aviation security fees, the bill would direct those collected fees into a dedicated Treasury account so they can be used to pay aviation security screening and related service costs. The bill text does not change or set the amount of any passenger fees.
The bill says collected fees must be deposited into a separate account and made available to cover the costs tied to the fee. No publicly available information on projected budget totals, savings, or other budgetary effects is included in the bill text or metadata provided.
