                                  H.R. 4408
         National Strategy to Combat Terrorist Travel Act of 2016

 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security on February 2, 2016


 H.R. 4408 would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), within 180 days of
 the bill's enactment, to transmit to the Congress a strategy to disrupt the domestic and
 international travel of terrorists. This report would describe existing programs to combat
 terrorist travel, identify current vulnerabilities that could be exploited by enemies of the
 United States, and include a plan to implement protective actions. During the seven-year
 period after enactment, H.R. 4408 would require DHS to update the strategy within 180
 days of the beginning of a new presidential administration. For 10 years after enactment,
 DHS would have to update the implementation plan annually.

 Based on information from DHS, CBO estimates that the reports and implementation plans
 required by H.R. 4408 would cost less than $500,000 annually and would be subject to the
 availability of appropriated funds. Any costs in subsequent years to carry out those plans
 for additional equipment or personnel, for example-would be attributable to separate
 legislation. Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues;
 therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 4408
 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive
 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

 H.R. 4408 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.
