H.R. 2200 would direct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to gather and analyze intelligence on terrorist threats involving chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) materials; share that information with federal, state, and local authorities; and prepare an annual report to the Congress on those activities. The department is currently carrying out activities similar to those required by the bill, so CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2200 would not significantly affect spending by DHS. Because enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 2200 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.
