H.R. 5056 would require the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to update certain risk assessments related to security at airports, particularly along airport perimeters and points of access to secure areas. The bill would require the agency to report to the Congress on those risk assessments and update the agency’s strategic plan related to security measures at airports.
According to TSA, many of the requirements specified in H.R. 5056 are largely consistent with current administrative policy. As a result, CBO estimates that any increased spending by TSA to meet the bill’s requirements would total less than $500,000 annually; any such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
Enacting H.R. 5056 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5056 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.
H.R. 5056 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.
