Description:
H.R. 2132 would require the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to ensure that appropriate redress procedures are available to adjudicate inquiries by individuals who believe they have been wrongly identified as being a threat to aviation security. The bill would specify requirements for that process and direct the agency to complete various reports and administrative requirements related to it.
Based on an analysis of information from TSA, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2132 would lead to a slight increase in the number of redress proceedings and increase the agency’s administrative costs by less than $100,000 annually; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
Enacting H.R. 2132 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2132 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.
H.R. 2132 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.
