1 H.R. 1590, Terrorist and Foreign Fighter Travel Exercise Act of 2019 1 (March 28, 2019)

handle is hein.congrec/cboterr0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Congressional Budget Office L Cost Estimate March 28, 2019 vI Inons OT uoinars Direct Spending (Outlays) Revenues Deficit Effect H.R. 1590 would require the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to develop and carry out national exercises designed to evaluate the nation's preparedness against the threat of foreign fighters and terrorists. Using information from FEMA, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would not significantly affect the federal budget over the 2020- 2024 period because the new exercises would be integrated into existing programs. Under current law, at least every two years, the agency conducts a national exercise to evaluate the preparedness of federal, state, local, and tribal governments to respond to catastrophic events-including acts of terrorism-in a coordinated manner. The agency allocated approximately $21 million in fiscal year 2018 under the National Exercise Program for such activities including education and training efforts related to the ability to respond to emergencies. Under the bill, the agency would develop and conduct an exercise to test the ability to respond to the threat of persons leaving the United States to join or provide material support to terrorist organizations or of foreign fighters attempting to enter the United States. The agency also would be required to submit a report to the Congress following the exercise. Using information from FEMA, CBO estimates that the agency would develop and integrate the new exercises into existing preparedness activities and would incur no significant additional costs to implement the bill. The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Jon Sperl. The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
