AN ACT 
To authorize the Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security

from preclearance airports, and for other purposes. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

SEC. 2. PRECLEARANCE AIRPORTS. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—Section 44901(d) of title 49, 
United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the 
following new paragraph: 
‘‘(4) PRECLEARANCE AIRPORTS.— 
‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—For a flight or flight 
segment originating at an airport outside the 
United States and traveling from an airport 
outside the United States where U.S. Customs 
and 
Border 
Protection 
has 
established 
preclearance operations, the Assistant Secretary 
(Transportation Security Administration) may, 
in coordination with U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection, determine whether such baggage 
must be re-screened in the United States by an 
explosives detection system before such baggage 
continues on any additional flight or flight seg-
ment. 
‘‘(B) LIMITATION.—The Assistant Sec-
retary may not exercise the authority under 
subparagraph (A) unless an agreement is in ef-
fect between the United States and the country 
from which the flight originates requiring the
implementation of security standards and proto-
cols that are determined by the Assistant Sec-
retary in coordination with U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection to be comparable to those of 
the United States and therefore sufficiently ef-
fective to enable passengers to deplane into 
sterile areas of airports in the United States. 
‘‘(C) REPORT.—The Assistant Secretary 
shall submit to the Committee on Homeland 
Security of the House of Representatives and 
the Committee on Homeland Security and Gov-
ernmental Affairs of the Senate an annual re-
port on the re-screening of baggage under this 
paragraph. Each such report shall include the 
following for the year covered by the report: 
‘‘(i) A list of airports outside the 
United States from which a flight or flight 
segment traveled to the United States for 
which the Assistant Secretary determined, 
in accordance with the authority under 
subparagraph (A), that checked baggage 
was not required to be re-screened in the 
United States by an explosive detection 
system before such baggage continued on 
an additional flight or flight segment.
‘‘(ii) The amount of Federal savings 
generated from the exercise of such au-
thority.’’. 
(b) CONFORMING AMENDMENTS.—Section 44901 of 
title 49, United States Code, is amended by striking ‘‘ex-
plosive’’ each place it appears and inserting ‘‘explosives’’.
