Premium   Download PDF Now (1 page)
Congress 115th
Date Requested July 24, 2018
Requested By House Committee on Homeland Security
Date Sent Aug. 20, 2018
Description:
H.R. 5869 would require the Department of Homeland Security, within 180 days of enactment, to prepare an analysis of security issues (including potential terrorist threats) at the maritime borders of the United States. The analysis would include a description of improvements needed at U.S. sea ports to reduce border-related criminal activity. Based on the costs of similar analyses, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost less than $500,000; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriations. Enacting H.R. 5869 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5869 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029. H.R. 5869 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
