## SEC. 1925 COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY PILOT PROGRAMS **[**[49 U.S.C. 44901 note](/us/usc/t49/s44901)**]** ###
(a)In General Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall carry out a pilot program to test the use of screening equipment using computed tomography technology to screen baggage at passenger screening checkpoints at airports. ###
(b)Feasibility Study ####
(1)In general Not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator, in coordination with the Under Secretary for Science and Technology of the Department, shall submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a feasibility study regarding expanding the use of computed tomography technology for the screening of air cargo transported on passenger aircraft operated by an air carrier or foreign air carrier in air transportation, interstate air transportation, or interstate air commerce. ####
(2)Considerations In conducting the feasibility study under paragraph (1), the Administrator shall consider the following: #####
(A)Opportunities to leverage computed tomography systems used for screening passengers and baggage. #####
(B)Costs and benefits of using computed tomography technology for screening air cargo. #####
(C)An analysis of emerging computed tomography systems that may have potential to enhance the screening of air cargo, including systems that may address aperture challenges associated with screening certain categories of air cargo. #####
(D)An analysis of emerging screening technologies, in addition to computed tomography, that may be used to enhance the screening of air cargo. ###
(c)Pilot Program Not later than 120 days after the date the feasibility study is submitted under subsection (b), the Administrator shall initiate a 2-year pilot program to achieve enhanced air cargo security screening outcomes through the use of new or emerging screening technologies, such as computed tomography technology, as identified through such study. ###
(d)Updates Not later than 60 days after the date the pilot program under subsection
(c)is initiated, and biannually thereafter for 2 years, the Administrator shall brief the appropriate committees of Congress on the progress of implementation of such pilot program. ###
