H.R. 1637 would direct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to report annually to the Congress on the progress of projects funded through DHS research and development centers. The department already prepares annual reports on those projects, so CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1637 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. 1637 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
