SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Aviation Biometric Technology
Utilization Act''.

SEC. 2. USE OF BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGY.

Section 44903(h) of title 49, United States Code, is amended--
(1) in paragraph (4)(E) by striking ''may provide for'' and
inserting ''shall issue, not later than 4 months after the date
of enactment of the Aviation Biometric Technology Utilization
Act, guidance for''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following:
''(5) Use of biometric technology in airport access control
systems.--In issuing guidance under paragraph (4)(E), the Under
Secretary, in consultation with representatives of the aviation
industry, shall establish at a minimum--
''(A) comprehensive technical and operational
system requirements and performance standards for the
use of biometrics in airport access control systems
(including airport perimeter access control systems) to
ensure that the biometric systems are effective,
reliable, and secure;
''(B) procedures for implementing biometric
systems--
''(i) to ensure that individuals do not use
an assumed identity to enroll in a biometric
system; and
''(ii) to resolve failures to enroll, false
matches, and false non-matches; and
''(C) best practices for incorporating biometric
technology into airport access control systems in the
most effective manner, including a process to best
utilize existing airport access control systems,
facilities, and equipment and existing data networks
connecting airports.
''(6) Use of biometric technology for law enforcement
officer travel.--
''(A) In general.--Not later than December 31,
2004, the Under Secretary shall--
''(i) establish a law enforcement officer
travel credential that incorporates biometrics
and is uniform across all Federal, State, and
local government law enforcement agencies;
''(ii) establish a process by which the
travel credential will be used to verify the
identity of a Federal, State, or local
government law enforcement officer seeking to
carry a weapon on board an aircraft, without
unnecessarily disclosing to the public that the
individual is a law enforcement officer;
''(iii) establish procedures--
''(I) to ensure that only Federal,
State, and local government law
enforcement officers are issued the
travel credential;
''(II) to resolve failures to
enroll, false matches, and false non-
matches relating to use of the travel
credential; and
''(III) to invalidate any travel
credential that is lost, stolen, or no
longer authorized for use;
''(iv) begin issuance of the travel
credential to each Federal, State, and local
government law enforcement officer authorized
by the Under Secretary to carry a weapon on
board an aircraft; and
''(v) take such other actions with respect
to the travel credential as the Secretary
considers appropriate.
''(B) Funding.--There is authorized to be
appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out
this paragraph.
''(7) Definitions.--In this subsection, the following
definitions apply:
''(A) Biometric information.--The term 'biometric
information' means the distinct physical or behavioral
characteristics that are used for identification, or
verification of the identity, of an individual.
''(B) Biometrics.--The term 'biometrics' means a
technology that enables the automated identification,
or verification of the identity, of an individual based
on biometric information.
''(C) Failure to enroll.--The term 'failure to
enroll' means the inability of an individual to enroll
in a biometric system due to an insufficiently
distinctive biometric sample, the lack of a body part
necessary to provide the biometric sample, a system
design that makes it difficult to provide consistent
biometric information, or other factors.
''(D) False match.--The term 'false match' means
the incorrect matching of one individual's biometric
information to another individual's biometric
information by a biometric system.
''(E) False non-match.--The term 'false non-match'
means the rejection of a valid identity by a biometric
system.
''(F) Secure area of an airport.--The term 'secure
area of an airport' means the sterile area and the
Secure Identification Display Area of an airport, as
such terms are defined in section 1540.5 of title 49,
Code of Federal Regulations.''.

SEC. 3. FUNDING FOR USE OF BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGY IN AIRPORT ACCESS
CONTROL SYSTEMS.

(a) Grant Authority.--Section 44923(a)(4) of title 49, United
States Code, is amended--
(1) by striking ''and'' at the end of paragraph (3);
(2) by redesignating paragraph (4) as paragraph (5); and
(3) by inserting after paragraph (3) the following:
''(4) for projects to implement biometric technologies in
accordance with guidance issued under section 44903(h)(4)(E);

(b) Authorization of Appropriations.--Section 44923(i)(1) of such
title is amended by striking ''$250,000,000 for each of fiscal years

$345,000,000 for fiscal year 2005, and $250,000,000 for each of fiscal
years 2006 and 2007''.
Output:
Aviation Biometric Technology Utilization Act - Amends Federal transportation law to change from discretionary to mandatory the authority of the Under Secretary for Border and Transportation Security of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to issue guidance for the use of biometrics or other technology that positively verifies the identity of each airport employee and law enforcement officer who enters a secure area of an airport.

Prescribes minimum requirements for such guidance.

Directs the Under Secretary to establish: (1) a law enforcement officer travel credential that incorporates biometrics and is uniform across all Federal, State, and local government law enforcement agencies; (2) a process by which the travel credential will be used to verify the identity of a Federal, State, or local government law enforcement officer seeking to carry a weapon on board an aircraft, without unnecessarily disclosing to the public that the individual is a law enforcement officer; and (3) related procedures.

Requires the Under Secretary to begin issuance of the travel credential to each Federal, State, and local government law enforcement officer authorized to carry a weapon on board an aircraft.
