H.R.719
One Hundred Fourteenth Congress
of the
United States of America
AT THE FIRST SESSION
Begun and held at the City of Washington on Tuesday,
the sixth day of January, two thousand and fifteen
An Act
To require the Transportation Security Administration to conform to
existing Federal law and regulations regarding criminal investigator
positions, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,

ff2a4bc12b6e44492a9d33bec177a09fc61bd63e1709ab1daeca53682be83df8

This Act may be cited as the ``TSA Office of Inspection
Accountability Act of 2015''.

6fbf14bbefad0d8d1f5fff80f07205e36a151e4fcdbf9370adc5745afe4aa3c2

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Consistent with Federal law and regulations, for law
enforcement officers to qualify for premium pay as criminal
investigators, the officers must, in general, spend on average at
least 50 percent of their time investigating, apprehending, or
detaining individuals suspected or convicted of offenses against
the criminal laws of the United States.
(2) According to the Inspector General of the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS IG), the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) does not ensure that its cadre of criminal
investigators in the Office of Inspection are meeting this
requirement, even though they are considered law enforcement
officers under TSA policy and receive premium pay.
(3) Instead, TSA criminal investigators in the Office of
Inspection primarily monitor the results of criminal investigations
conducted by other agencies, investigate administrative cases of
TSA employee misconduct, and carry out inspections, covert tests,
and internal reviews, which the DHS IG asserts could be performed
by employees other than criminal investigators at a lower cost.
(4) The premium pay and other benefits afforded to TSA criminal
investigators in the Office of Inspection who are incorrectly
classified as such will cost the taxpayer as much as $17 million
over 5 years if TSA fails to make any changes to the number of
criminal investigators in the Office of Inspection, according to
the DHS IG.
(5) This may be a conservative estimate, as it accounts for the
cost of Law Enforcement Availability Pay, but not the costs of law
enforcement training, statutory early retirement benefits, police
vehicles, and weapons.

8331(20), 8401(17), and 5545a of title 5, United States Code, are
classified as criminal investigators and are receiving premium pay and
other benefits associated with such classification.
(b) Employee Reclassification.--The Assistant Secretary shall
reclassify criminal investigator positions in the Office of Inspection
as noncriminal investigator positions or non-law enforcement positions

spend an average of at least 50 percent of their time performing
criminal investigative duties.
