handle is hein.congrec/cbo3440 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE a COST ESTIMATE April 26, 2017 H.R. 876 Aviation Employee Screening and Security Enhancement Act of 2017 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security on March 8, 2017 SUMMARY H.R. 876 would direct the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to pursue a variety of activities aimed at improving aviation security, particularly by enhancing vetting and screening of aviation workers and controlling their access to secure areas of airports. Based on an analysis of information from TSA, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 876 would cost $41 million over the 2017-2022 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 876 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028. H.R. 876 would impose intergovernmental and private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) on airport operators and air carriers. Based on information from the TSA and airport officials, CBO estimates that the total costs of the mandates on public and private entities would fall well below the annual thresholds established in UMRA for intergovernmental and private-sector mandates ($78 million and $156 million in fiscal year 2017, respectively, adjusted annually for inflation). ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The estimated budgetary effect of H.R. 876 is shown in the following table. The costs of this legislation fall within budget function 400 (transportation).
