       Enclosure.

 H.R. 4094, ONE-STOP PILOT PROGRAM ACT OF 2021 AS PASSED BY THE HOUSE OF
                  REPRESENTATIVES ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2021
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                            By fiscal year,  millions of
                                                      dollars--
                                           -----------------------------
                                                        2022-     2022-
                                              2022      2026      2031
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Direct Spending (Outlays).................        0         0         0
Revenues..................................        0         0         0
Increase or Decrease (-) in the Deficit...        0         0         0
Spending Subject to Appropriation                 *         1        **
 (Outlays)................................
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* = between zero and $500,000.
** = not estimated.

       Statutory pay-as-you-go procedures apply? No.
       Increases on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 
     10-year periods beginning in 2032? No.
       Mandate Effects:
       Contains intergovernmental mandate? No.
       Contains private-sector mandate? No.
       Under current law, international air passengers arriving in 
     the United States who have subsequent transfer flights 
     generally must be screened at an airport security checkpoint 
     before boarding the transfer flight. H.R. 4094 would 
     authorize the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), 
     in coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, to 
     conduct a pilot program that would allow passengers and 
     baggage arriving from certain foreign airports to bypass that 
     security screening, under conditions specified in the act. 
     TSA could conduct the pilot program under agreements with up 
     to six foreign airports and the program would terminate six 
     years after enactment. H.R. 4094 would require TSA to brief 
     the Congress before each agreement takes effect and report 
     within five years of enactment on how the program was 
     implemented.
       Using information from TSA on the cost of similar programs, 
     CBO estimates that implementing the act would cost $1 million 
     over the 2022-2026 period; any spending would be subject to 
     the availability of appropriated funds.
       The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Aaron Krupkin. 
     The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy 
     Director of Budget Analysis.
