H.R. 4005
Gauging American Port Security Act
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security on May 9, 2012
CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 4005 would cost about $1 million in fiscal year
2013, from appropriated funds. Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or
revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 4005 would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to conduct a study
on gaps in security at U.S. ports. The study would be submitted to the Congress in
classified form and contain an unclassified annex. In addition, the bill would direct DHS to
share the results of the study, as appropriate, with federal agencies, state, local, and tribal
governments, and port system owners and operators. Based on the cost of similar activities,
CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 4005 would cost about $1 million in fiscal year
2013, assuming availability of appropriated funds.
H.R. 4005 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Mark Grabowicz. The estimate was approved by
Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
