H.R. 1417
Border Security Results Act of 2013
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security on May 15, 2013
H.R. 1417 would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to measure the
effectiveness of the department's border security strategy at U.S. ports of entry and along
U.S. borders (including maritime borders). The legislation would direct the Inspector
General of DHS to carry out covert testing of security at ports of entry and report the results
to the Congress. In addition, H.R. 1417 would require DHS and the Government
Accountability Office to prepare several reports on various aspects of the DHS border
security program.
Based on information from the affected agencies and the costs of similar activities, CBO
estimates that implementing H.R. 1417 would cost about $5 million from appropriated
funds over the 2014-2018 period. Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending
or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 1417 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal
governments.
The CBO staff contacts for this estimate are Mark Grabowicz and Matthew Pickford. The
estimate was approved by Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
