The Transportation Security Acquisition Reform Act () is a bill that would require the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to develop a comprehensive technology acquisition plan. The Government Accountability Office and the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General each found that the TSA's lack of a technology acquisition plan led to waste, excessive costs, and security failures.〔 This bill was written in response.〔 In addition to requiring the creation of a plan, the bill would also require the TSA to report what it does to Congress, including providing information about failures it makes.〔 It passed the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress. ==Provisions of the bill== ''This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Research Service, a public domain source.''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th/house-bill/2719 )〕 The Transportation Security Acquisition Reform Act would amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to direct the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to develop, and update biennially, a strategic multiyear technology acquisition plan, which may include a classified addendum to report sensitive transportation security risks, technology vulnerabilities, or other sensitive security information.〔 The bill would direct the Administrator to analyze the TSA's acquisition of any security-related technology to determine if it is justified. It would require the Administrator, 30 days before any TSA award of a contract for acquisitions exceeding $30 million, to report to Congress the results of the analysis and certify that the security benefits justify the contract cost.〔 The bill would direct the Administrator to establish certain performance baseline requirements before any TSA security-related technology acquisition. It would require the Administrator to review and assess each acquisition for meeting the baseline requirements and to report those results to Congress.〔 The bill would require the Administrator, before the procurement of additional quantities of equipment to fulfill a TSA mission need, to utilize, to the extent practicable, any existing units in the TSA's inventory to meet that need.〔 The bill would direct the Administrator to report annually to Congress on TSA's goals for contracting with small and disadvantaged businesses.〔 The bill would direct the Comptroller General to evaluate, and report to Congress on, TSA's progress in implementing the plan.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Transportation Security Acquisition Reform Act」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
