                                 H.R.   1615
                     DHS   FOIA   Efficiency Act of 2015

         As ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security
                                on May 20, 2015


H.R. 1615 would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to update
regulations that implement the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), identify the costs of
complying with that act, streamline the process for implementing certain FOIA provisions,
and attempt to reduce the backlog in processing FOIA requests. Because there are ongoing
efforts within DHS to carry out the actions required by the bill, CBO estimates that
implementing H.R. 1615 would not significantly affect DHS spending. Enacting the
legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.

H.R. 1615 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, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
