                                 H.R.   2190
                      Streamlining   DHS   Overhead   Act

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security on May 3, 2017


H.R. 2190 would establish a new position-Chief Facilities and Logistics Officer-in the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to oversee the management of DHS property and
other assets. The bill would require DHS to develop a five-year strategy to consolidate
properties and to use its facilities more efficiently. H.R. 2190 also would direct agencies
within DHS (such as the Coast Guard and the Secret Service) to assign an employee in each
region of the United States to manage the agency's properties in that part of the country.

There are DHS personnel that currently oversee the management of department property,
including properties for DHS agencies located throughout the United States. Based on
information from DHS, we do not expect the department to hire new personnel to carry out
the provisions of H.R. 2190. Thus, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost
less than $500,000 annually; such spending would be subject to the availability of
appropriated funds.

Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2190 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2028.

H.R. 2190 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.
