## What this funds

The GA program conducts a name-based STA for each passenger (including armed security officers), security coordinator, and flight crew member for GA aircraft operators operating under the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) Access Standard Security Program. It derives its authority from: Aviation and Transportation Security Act, P.L. 107-71, 115 Stat. 597, specifically 49 U.S.C. 114(m)(1), and 106(l)(6) and (m); Section 823 of the Vision 100-Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act P.L.108-176: 117 Stat. 2490 (Dec. 12, 2003), which requires the Secretary of DHS to develop a security plan to permit GA aircraft to operate into and out of DCA 49 CFR parts 1520, 1540, and 1562, Subpart B- Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport: Enhanced Security Procedures for Certain Operators.
