                                  H.R.   5131
         Surface  Transportation   Security  Improvement Act of 2018

       As reported by the House Committee Homeland Security on March 19, 2018


H.R. 5131 would require the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to complete a
variety of reports, analyses, and other administrative activities aimed at promoting the
security of surface transportation systems. The bill also would require the Government
Accountability Office (GAO) to review the status of certain existing efforts related to
surface transportation security. Under current law, TSA oversees, regulates, and
coordinates with operators of surface transportation systems to safeguard those systems.

CBO  estimates that implementing H.R. 5131 would not significantly affect the federal
budget. Some of the bill's provisions would require TSA to expand existing efforts, but
using information from the agency, CBO expects that any increase in federal spending
(including costs incurred by GAO) under the bill would total less than $500,000. Such
spending would be subject to appropriation.

Enacting H.R. 5131 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-
go procedures do not apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 5131 would not increase net direct spending or on-
budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 5131 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates  Reform Act.

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