H.R. 2770 specifies requirements and procedures regarding the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA’s) maintenance of security-related technology deployed at airports. Based on information from TSA, CBO estimates that implementing this legislation would have no significant effect on the federal budget. According to the agency, the new requirements and procedures specified in the bill are largely consistent with existing efforts. As a result, CBO estimates that any changes in spending under H.R. 2770 would be negligible and would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Enacting H.R. 2770 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 2770 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.
