SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 3, 2007, section 1302(a) of the Implementing
Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (the 9/11 Act),
Public Law 110-53, 121 Stat. 392, gave TSA authority to assess civil
penalties for violations of any surface transportation requirements
under title 49 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) and for any
violations of chapter 701 of title 46 of the U.S.C., which governs
transportation worker identification credentials (TWICs).
Section 1302(a) of the 9/11 Act, codified at 49 U.S.C. 114(u),\1\
authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to impose civil penalties
of up to $10,000 per violation of any surface transportation
requirement under 49 U.S.C. or any requirement related to TWICs under
46 U.S.C. chapter 701. TSA exercises this function under delegated
authority from the Secretary. See DHS Delegation No. 7060-2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Pursuant to division K, title I, sec. 1904(b)(1)(I), of
Public Law 115-254, (132 Stat. 3186, 3545; October 5, 2018), the TSA
Modernization Act--part of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018,
former 49 U.S.C. 114(v) was redesignated as 49 U.S.C. 114(u).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under 49 U.S.C. 114(u)(7)(A), TSA is required to provide the public
with an annual summary of all enforcement actions taken by TSA under
this subsection; and include in each such summary the identifying
information of each enforcement action, the type of alleged violation,

Annual Summary of Enforcement Actions Taken Under 49 U.S.C. 114(u)
Annual Report
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 114(u)(7)(A), TSA provides the following
summary of enforcement actions taken by TSA in calendar year 2020 under
section 114(u).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ 49 U.S.C. 114(u)(7)(A) states: In general.--the Secretary of
Homeland Security shall--(i) provide an annual summary to the public
of all enforcement actions taken by the Secretary under this
subsection; and (ii) include in each such summary the docket number
of each enforcement action, the type of alleged violation, the
penalty or penalties proposed, and the final assessment amount of
each penalty.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
Section 114(u) of 49 U.S.C. gives the TSA authority to assess civil
penalties for violations of any surface transportation requirements
under 49 U.S.C. and for any violations of chapter 701 of 46 U.S.C.,
which governs TWICs. Specifically, section 114(u) authorizes the
Secretary of Homeland Security to impose civil penalties of up to
$10,000 per violation \3\ for violations of any surface transportation
requirement under 49 U.S.C. or any requirement related to TWIC under 46
U.S.C. chapter 701.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Pursuant to title VII, sec. 701 of Public Law 114-74 (129
Stat. 583, 599; Nov. 2, 2015), the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation
Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015--part of the Bipartisan
Budget Act of 2015, this $10,000 civil penalty maximum is adjusted
for inflation annually. See 49 CFR 1503.401(b).
\4\ TSA exercises this function under delegated authority from
the Secretary. See DHS Delegation No. 7060-2.
\5\ On March 23, 2020, TSA promulgated a final rule which, among
other things, reorganized Title 49 Chapter XII Subpart D, Maritime
and Surface Transportation Security. For example, the regulation 49
CFR 1570.7, pertaining to fraudulent use and manufacture of
credentials, is now located at 49 CFR 1570.301. This report cites to
the regulatory violations as alleged in TSA's enforcement actions at
the time of issuance.
