                                    H.R.   6265
                       PreCheck is   PreCheck Act of 2018

             As passed by the House of Representatives on September 4, 2018


 The federal government-primarily through the Transportation Security Administration
 (TSA)-administers  several risk-based programs that facilitate, through advanced vetting
 of applicants, expedited screening of participating passengers at security checkpoints.
 H.R. 6265 would require TSA to ensure that only travelers who are members of such
 programs are permitted to use expedited security-screening lanes (often called PreCheck
 lanes) at TSA-regulated airports. The act would require the agency to increase enrollment
 in such programs and to conduct a pilot program related to the use of modified screening
 procedures for passengers deemed to pose low security risks. The legislation also would
 specify other administrative and reporting requirements.

 Using information from TSA, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 6265 would not
 significantly affect the federal budget. The agency is already implementing activities that
 are similar to those envisioned under H.R. 6265. As a result, CBO expects that any
 change in the agency's spending-which would be subject to appropriation-would be
 insignificant.

 Enacting H.R. 6265 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-
 go procedures do not apply.

 CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 6265 would not increase net direct spending or on-
 budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

 H.R. 6265 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded  Mandates Reform Act.

 The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Megan Carroll. The estimate was reviewed by
 H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
