                                 H.R.   2786
                  Cross-Border Rail Security Act of 2015

         As ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security
                                on June 25, 2015


H.R. 2786 would require Customs and Border Protection (CBP), within 180 days of the
bill's enactment, to submit a report to the Congress on the inspection of goods entering the
United States by rail. The legislation also would direct the Government Accountability
Office to periodically audit CBP inspection operations at rail crossings along the northern
and southern U.S. borders.

Based on the costs of similar reports and audits, CBO estimates that implementing
H.R. 2786 would cost about $1 million in 2016 and less than $500,000 annually thereafter,
assuming appropriation of the necessary funds. Enacting the legislation would not affect
direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

H.R. 2786 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
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
