H.R. 3243 would codify the role of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) as the
administrator of the Department of Homeland Security's program to protect pipelines from
terrorists and cybersecurity threats. The bill would require TSA to create a new executive
position, develop a personnel strategy to improve the effectiveness of the pipeline security
program, and report on its progress annually. Finally, H.R. 3243 would require the
Government Accountability Office (GAO) to review the bill's implementation within two
years of enactment.
Many of the bill's requirements are consistent with activities being conducted under current
law and would not significantly affect the agency's costs. Using information from TSA,
CBO estimates that implementing other provisions of the bill would cost $2 million over the
2021-2026 period. About half of that amount would stem from required personnel changes at
TSA; the remainder would cover additional reporting requirements and the cost of GAO's
review. Any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Aaron Krupkin. The estimate was reviewed by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
