H.R. 3846
United States Customs and Border Protection Authorization Act
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security
on June 11, 2014
H.R. 3846 would direct Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in the Department of
Homeland Security to establish standard procedures for addressing complaints made
against CBP employees and to enhance training for CBP officers and agents. The bill also
would require the agency to prepare several minor reports for the Congress on a variety of
issues, including the characteristics of CBP procurement personnel, infrastructure needs at
ports of entry, and the problem of unaccompanied children apprehended at U.S. borders.
Based on the cost of similar activities, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 3846 would
cost about $1 million in fiscal year 2015 and less than $500,000 annually thereafter, from
appropriated funds, mostly for the required reports. According to CBP, much of the
information needed for those reports has already been compiled. Enacting the legislation
would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not
apply.
H.R. 3846 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 Mark Grabowicz. The estimate was approved by
Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
