                                    S. 886
                DHS   Acquisition  Review  Board   Act of 2017

         As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security
                    and Governmental Affairs on July 26, 2017


S. 886 would direct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to establish an
Acquisition Review Board to review major acquisition programs and enhance
accountability and uniformity in the review process for DHS acquisitions. Because the
bill's requirements are largely consistent with existing DHS procurement policies, CBO
estimates that implementing S. 886 would cost less than $500,000 annually; such spending
would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.

Enacting S. 886 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting S. 886 would not increase net direct
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in
2028.

S. 886 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.

On March  22, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 1282, the DHS Acquisition
Review Board Act of 2017, as ordered by the House Committee on Homeland Security on
March 8, 2017. The two pieces of legislation are similar and CBO's estimates of their costs
are the same.

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