S. 2502 would prohibit most federal agencies from procuring or operating unmanned aircraft
systems manufactured or assembled by a covered foreign entity, which includes, for
example, an entity that poses a national security risk. The Department of Homeland Security,
the Department of Defense, and the Attorney General would be exempt from the bill's
prohibitions for such systems that are acquired or operated under certain conditions. The new
prohibitions would sunset five years after enactment.

The bill would require the Office of Management and Budget to establish a policy for
procuring unmanned  aircraft systems for operations outside of the defense and intelligence
communities  and would require any department or agency not otherwise subject to the
Federal Acquisition Regulation to follow the new policy. The bill also would require
executive agencies to account for their inventories of covered unmanned aircraft systems and
would require various studies and reports.

Using information from the affected agencies, CBO estimates that implementing S. 2502
would cost $1 million over the 2021-2025 period for additional administrative activities and
new reporting requirements. Such spending would be subject to the availability of
appropriated funds.
