1 Department of Homeland Security Legislation 1 (September 27, 2018)

handle is hein.congrec/cbodhsl0001 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE September 27, 2018 Department of Homeland Security Legislation As passed by the House of Representatives on September 25, 2018 On September 25, the House of Representatives passed the following three pieces of legislation: H.R. 6620, the Protecting Critical Infrastructure Against Drones and Emerging Threats Act, which would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to prepare assessments of the threats presented by unmanned aircraft systems (often called drones) and other emerging threats associated with such new technologies; H.R. 6735, the Public-Private Cybersecurity Cooperation Act, which would require DHS to establish procedures for people or organizations to report vulnerabilities in the department's information systems; and H.R. 6740, the Border Tunnel Task Force Act, which would direct DHS to establish task forces to combat threats from cross-border tunnels; the task forces could include personnel from federal, state, local, and tribal agencies. CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not significantly affect spending by DHS in any fiscal year because the department could largely implement each act with existing personnel. Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as- you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct spending or on- budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029. None of the acts contain intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Mark Grabowicz. The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
