U                             COST ESTIMATE
                                                                 October 12, 2017


                                     S. 1884
            Reporting Efficiently to Proper Officials in Response
                            to Terrorism Act of 2017

           As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security
                     and Governmental Affairs on October 4, 2017


 S. 1884 would require the primary government agency investigating an act of terrorism
 that occurs in the United States to report to the Congress not later than one year after
 completing the investigation. That agency would have to collaborate with the Department
 of Homeland Security and other federal bodies as appropriate. The report would identify
 weaknesses in national security and recommend additional measures to improve
 homeland security and prevent terrorist acts.

 In recent years there have been few incidents of domestic terrorism, so CBO expects that
 implementing S. 1884 would require a small number of reports each year, on average.
 Based on the cost of similar activities, CBO estimates that providing the reports would
 cost less than $500,000 annually; such spending would be subject to the availability of
 appropriated funds.

 Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-
 you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting S. 1884 would not increase
 net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
 beginning in 2028.

 S. 1884 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
 governments.

 On May 30, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 625, the Reporting
 Efficiently to Proper Officials in Response to Terrorism Act of 2017, as ordered reported
 by the House Committee on Homeland Security on May 3, 2017. The two bills are
 similar and CBO's estimates of the budgetary effects are the same.

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