H.R. 1353 would expand requirements for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to report to the Congress on the status of the agency’s planned investments in technologies related to transportation security. CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1353 would have no significant effect on the federal budget. According to TSA, the agency already collects data necessary to meet the legislation’s requirements to provide additional information about acquisition programs on a more frequent basis. As a result, CBO estimates that any change in the agency’s costs, which would be subject to appropriation, would not exceed $500,000 in any year.
Enacting H.R. 1353 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1353 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.
H.R. 1353 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, tribal governments.
