Title: ●Adjustment of Passenger Civil Aviation Security Service Fee 
Abstract: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is issuing a final rule to implement the increase to the passenger civil aviation security service fee (security service fee) mandated by the amendments to 49 U.S.C. 44940 enacted as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, Div. A (Budget Act). TSA currently imposes a fee of up to $2.50 per enplanement, as long as the total fee per one-way trip does not exceed $5.00. Beginning July 1, 2014, the Budget Act requires TSA to impose a mandatory fee of $5.60 per one-way trip. Beginning July 1, 2014, if any part of that passenger's itinerary includes air transportation or intrastate air transportation originating at an airport in the United States, the passenger is required by statute to pay $5.60 per one-way trip.
