Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I include in the Record the cost estimate prepared by the Congressional Budget Office for H.R. 4089, the Darren Drake Act. The cost estimate was not available at the time of the Committee report filing. U.S. Congress, Congressional Budget Office, Washington, DC, September 24, 2021. Hon. Bennie G. Thompson, Chairman, Committee on Homeland Security, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.

Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 4089, the Darren Drake Act.

If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Lindsay Wylie. Sincerely, Phillip L. Swagel, Director.

Enclosure. H.R. 4089, DARREN DRAKE ACT AS REPORTED BY THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2021 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ By fiscal year, millions of dollars-- -------------------------------------- 2021 2021-2026 2021-2031 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Direct Spending (Outlays)........ 0 0 0 Revenues......................... 0 0 0 Increase or Decrease (-) in the 0 0 0 Deficit.........................

* = between zero and $500,000.

H.R. 4089 would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop and disseminate best practices for vehicle rental companies and dealers to report suspicious behavior when a rental vehicle is sold. DHS would be required to consult with state, local, and tribal governments and industry stakeholders and report to the Congress on implementation of the best practices after one year. Based on the cost of similar activities, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost less than $500,000 over the 2021-2026 period; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Lindsay Wylie. The estimate was reviewed by Leo Lex, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
