To impose the ASIF, TSA issued an Interim Final Rule (IFR) and required air carriers to report their passenger and property screening costs incurred in 2000 on an attachment to the IFR referred to as Appendix A. The 2000 screening costs reported by air carriers were going to be used to establish the ASIF. Based on industry estimates of $1 billion, TSA had estimated that the costs incurred by air carriers in 2000 were $750 million, but the amounts reported by air carriers totaled $319 million, significantly less than expected. To provide the Congress with an independent assessment, the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2005 required GAO to review the amount of passenger and property screening costs incurred by air carriers in 2000. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-558/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-558.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-558/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-558.pdf GAO-05-558 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-558 Other Written Product GAO-05-558; Aviation Fees: Review of Air Carriers' Year 2000 Passenger and Property Screening Costs; Aviation security Baggage screening Cost analysis Counterterrorism Fees Homeland security National preparedness Reporting requirements Financial analysis Airline regulation Airlines Cost estimates Passengers Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee Volume 115 Page 597 115 Stat. 597 Volume 116 Page 2135 116 Stat. 2135 Volume 117 Page 1137 117 Stat. 1137 Volume 118 Page 1298 118 Stat. 1298 Public Law 107-71 Public Law 107-296 Public Law 108-90 Public Law 108-334
