                                 H.R.   1351
        Strengthening   Oversight  of TSA   Employee   Misconduct   Act

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


H.R. 1351 would require the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to complete,
by September 30, 2023, unannounced inspections at all airports of actions taken by TSA
managers to address employee misconduct. The bill would specify procedures for TSA to
follow in reporting the results of such inspections to both the Congress and the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) and would authorize TSA to implement any
personnel-related recommendations that DHS makes after reviewing such results.

Based on an analysis of information from TSA, CBO estimates that inspecting all airports
where TSA  currently operates within the timeframe specified by the bill would require
about five additional staff. Including increased administrative costs and travel expenses,
CBO  estimates that meeting the bill's inspection requirements would increase TSA's costs
by $1 million annually and $5 million over the 2018-2022 period; that spending would be
subject to the availability of appropriated funds. (That amount does not include any
additional costs that the agency might incur to implement DHS-recommended changes to
policies for addressing employee misconduct pursuant to reports of inspections carried out
under the bill.)

Enacting H.R. 1351 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1351 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2028.

H.R. 1351 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 Megan Carroll. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
