Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 3499, a Bill to Amend the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 to Repeal Certain Obsolete Requirements, and for Other Purposes   [open pdf - 152KB]

From the Document: "S. 3499 would repeal a provision concerning limits on tiered subcontracting of disaster assistance provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The provision was enacted as part of the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006. However, since the passage of that law, FEMA has not implemented the provision. On that basis, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that repealing the provision would have no effect on the federal budget."
