CBP Workload Staffing Model Act

HR 2557, the CBP Workload Staffing Model Act, requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to create new staffing models for the U.S. Border Patrol and Air and Marine Operations within one year of enactment. These models must account for frontline operations, varying environments, infrastructure, technology, and support needs to ensure adequate staffing. The bill also mandates a workforce tracking system for reporting actual work hours, annual congressional reports on implementation, and a Department of Homeland Security Inspector General review of the models within 120 days. This law directly affects CBP's operational staffing decisions and enhances oversight of how personnel resources are allocated.
