DOT may provide grants under the program to states, commercial airlines, airports, public health institutions, and other entities to to carry out development, testing, or evaluation of such public health risk mitigation measures. DOT, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) must each designate federal facilities for receiving, processing, and analyzing data collected and experience gained by recipients of grants under the program.
