H.R. 2719, Transportation Security Acquisition Reform Act 1 (November 21, 2013)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo11410 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE November 21, 2013 H.R. 2719 Transportation Security Acquisition Reform Act As ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security on October 29, 2013 Based on information from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Government Accountability Office (GAO), CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2719 would have no significant cost. Enacting H.R. 2719 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. H.R. 2719 would specify procedures for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to follow when planning, making, and evaluating acquisitions of security-related technology. The bill would require the agency to develop a multiyear investment plan to be transmitted to the Congress and updated every two years. The bill also would specify analyses and reports that TSA must complete to justify certain investments, evaluate the performance of technology acquired under the bill, and enhance its capacity to monitor and utilize existing inventories of security-related equipment. In addition, H.R. 2719 would direct GAO to review and report on issues related to TSA's policies for procuring security-related technology. According to DHS, the bill's requirements are largely consistent with existing DHS procurement policies that already apply to TSA. The legislation would not affect TSA's underlying mission or responsibilities, and CBO estimates that meeting new procedural requirements specified by H.R. 2719 would not impose any new significant costs on the agency. We also estimate that any increased costs to GAO to complete reports required under H.R. 2719 would be negligible, assuming the availability of appropriated funds. H.R. 2719 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 Megan Carroll. This estimate was approved by Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
