This is the summary of an oral briefing given in response to a mandate in the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009. This mandate required the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) to prepare an expenditure plan that satisfied 12 specified conditions, and for the plan to be submitted to and approved by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees before the agency could obligate $400 million of the approx. $775 million appropriated for U.S. Customs and Border Protection fencing, infrastructure, and technology. In response to this requirement, DHS submitted a plan on March 4, 2009." Levine reviewed the plan on whether the plan satisfied the 12 specified legislative conditions. Illustrations.

In November 2005, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the launch of the Secure Border Initiative (SBI), a multiyear, multibillion-dollar program aimed at securing U.S. borders and reducing illegal immigration. The expenditure plan did not fully satisfy all of the legislative conditions and committee reports' directions. Specifically, of the 11 legislative conditions, the expenditure plan satisfied 4, partially satisfied 6, and did not satisfy 1. Also, of the 7 committee reports' directions, the expenditure plan satisfied 2 and partially satisfied 5. Based on the results of our review, we are not making any recommendations for congressional consideration or agency action. We provided a draft of this report to DHS for review and comment. In commenting on a draft of this report, DHS responded to the findings related to 1 of the 11 legislative conditions and did not comment on the findings related to the 7 committee reports' directions. Specifically, DHS stated that it concurred in part with our assessment of partially satisfied for legislative condition 8. This condition requires that the expenditure plan include a certification by the DHS Chief Procurement Office (CPO) that the program (1) complies with DHS's acquisition management review process, among other things; (2) meets federal acquisition requirements; and (3) is adequately staffed. The condition also requires that the plan includes required supporting documentation used to obtain this certification.

A mandate in the Dept. of Defense (DOD) and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 required the Dept.of Homeland Security (DHS) to (1) update its FY 2010 expenditure plan on border security fencing, infrastructure, and technology (BSFIT) for FY 2011 budget authority and (2) submit the updated plan to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. The plan is to address 10 legislative conditions in the FY 2010 DHS appropriations act and be reviewed by GAO. DHS submitted an updated plan to Congress on September 8, 2011. This report reviewed the plan. It analyzed the expenditure plan and documents referenced within the plan, such as strategic plans and reports, and interviewed DHS and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials to obtain clarification on material contained in the expenditure plan, including certification memoranda from the DHS Chief Procurement, Chief Information, and Chief Human Capital Officers. In summary, the expenditure plan satisfied some but not all of the legislative conditions. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
