U                            COST ESTIMATE
                                                               November 3, 2017


                                    S. 1847
                     Homeland Security for Children Act

           As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security
                     and Governmental Affairs on October 4, 2017


 S. 1847 would require the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to identify
 and integrate children's needs when preparing for, responding to, recovering from, and
 mitigating against natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other manmade disasters. The
 bill would authorize FEMA to appoint a technical expert on children's needs to
 coordinate the integration of the bill's requirements into the agency's plans and policies.

 Based on an analysis of information provided by the Department of Homeland Security
 (DHS) about the level of effort required, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would
 have no significant effect on the federal budget. Enacting the bill would not affect direct
 spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

 CBO estimates that enacting S. 1847 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
 deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

 S. 1847 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

 On April 21, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 1372, as ordered reported
 by the House Committee on Homeland Security on March 8, 2017. The two bills are
 similar, although H.R. 1372 would require DHS to submit an annual report to the
 Congress, and CBO's estimates of their budgetary effects are the same.

 The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Robert Reese. The estimate was approved by
 H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
