49:9.1.3.3.6.0.10.9.2 : Appendix A
Appendix A to Part 1511 - Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee
Instructions General guidance
When filling out this form, the responding air carrier or
foreign air carrier shall include all costs incurred in calendar
year 2000 by that air carrier for the screening of passengers and
property. Costs are those attributed to the screening of passengers
and property in the United States for both flights within the
United States and flights from the United States to foreign
destinations. Reported costs must be consistent with the air
carrier's financial accounting information reported in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.
Where actual costs of screening passengers and property cannot
be directly identified through an air carrier's accounting system,
the air carrier shall use an appropriate alternate cost assignment
methodology. Documentation that explains and supports the
assignment methodology used, the applicable pool and the allocation
basis must be made available upon request. For costs related to
capitalized property, please report the associated depreciation
expense incurred during calendar year 2000. Capitalization policy
must also be made available upon request.
To the extent necessary, the reporting air carrier may aggregate
those specific costs that have been incurred but cannot be stated
in the detailed cost categories requested by this form. However,
all of the costs identified by this form must be included in the
total calculations. In addition, explanations regarding costs that
have been aggregated need to be provided. Costs reported in
Appendix A do not need to include costs that may have been incurred
for a position higher than those of the air carrier's director of
security (or equivalent). Costs incurred for higher positions, such
as those of the air carrier's chief executive officer, do not need
to be included.
When including cost information on acquired and/or merged air
carriers, the successor air carrier must specify the names of all
of such entities whose calendar year 2000 passenger and property
screening costs are included in that air carrier's submission as
Appendix A.
The costs listed below are to be in US dollars, rounded to the
nearest dollar. Place a zero in the appropriate box to indicate
cost categories in which the air carrier did not incur costs for
passenger and property screening in calendar year 2000.
