Unquantified The proposed rule would provide Federal agencies flexibility to decide whether to enforce the REAL ID card-based regulations in a phased manner that may reduce security vulnerabilities, operational disruption and public impact related to official Federal purposes. A phased approach would not unnecessarily delay REAL ID enforcement for those Federal agencies ready to fully implement on the card-based enforcement deadline. A phased approach would also allow individuals more time to obtain a REAL ID and may help mitigate potential application backlogs at State licensing agencies. Furthermore, a phased approach may reduce potential queuing and associated delays at access points.

Unquantified Full security benefits associated with REAL ID rule would not be realized, as a result of agencies implementing a phased approach, until full enforcement occurs. Federal agencies would also incur costs related to plan implementation, including, but not limited to training personnel on the policies of the plan, and efforts to inform individuals of the new identity verification policies related to plans. Individuals may also incur costs to become aware of phased enforcement plans and respond accordingly. Transfers Annualized Monetized Federal Budgetary Transfers N/A N/A N/A N/A 2 N/A Not Quantified.
