                                     S. 146
           Border Security Technology Accountability Act of 2017

           As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security
                    and Governmental Affairs on October 4, 2017


S. 146 would direct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to improve the
planning, documentation, and management of certain programs to acquire border security
technology. The bill also would require DHS to submit a plan to the Congress to ensure
that such programs comply with federal acquisition policies.

Based on the cost of similar activities, CBO estimates that implementing S. 146 would
cost less than $500,000, subject to the availability of appropriated funds. There are
ongoing efforts within DHS to carry out the actions required by the bill and improve the
overall management of technology programs for border security.

Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-
you-go procedures do not apply.

CBO estimates that enacting S. 146 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

S. 146 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.
