                             ALERT Act of 2016

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


H.R. 4401 would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), within 150 days of
the bill's enactment, to submit to the Congress an assessment of DHS efforts to combat
violent extremism at state, local, tribal, and territorial levels. The bill also would direct
DHS, within 30 days of enactment, to report to the Congress on the number of employees
of state, local, tribal, and territorial governments with security clearances sponsored by the
department.

Based on information from DHS, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 4401 would cost
less than $500,000; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated
funds. Because enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues,
pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 4401 would not
increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year
periods beginning in 2027.

H.R. 4401 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. State, local, and tribal governments could benefit from
training authorized in the bill; any costs to those governments would be incurred
voluntarily.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Mark Grabowicz. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
