Maritime Transportation: Implications of Using U.S. Liquefied- Natural-Gas Carriers for Exports, Report to Congressional Committees
From the Highlights: "More than 30 companies have received approval from DOE [Department of Energy] for large-scale exports of U.S. LNG [liquefied natural gas]-natural gas cooled for transportation- beginning in 2015 or 2016 via specialized LNG carriers. Congress is considering whether to propose legislative language that would require U.S. LNG be exported via U.S.-built-and-flagged carriers with the goal of supporting U.S. shipbuilders and mariners. Congress included a provision in statute for GAO [Government Accountability Office] to review the number of vessel-construction and operating jobs that would be created in the U.S. maritime industry each year in 2015 through 2025 if exported LNG were required to be carried (1) before December 31, 2018, on vessels documented under the laws of the United States and (2) after such date, on vessels documented under the laws of and constructed in the United States. This report discusses (1) DOE and industry expectations for the market for U.S. LNG exports and (2) how the proposed requirement could affect jobs in the U.S. maritime industry and the broader U.S. economy. GAO reviewed and analyzed economic forecasts of the LNG market and interviewed relevant stakeholders including officials from DOD, DOE, the Department of Transportation, Coast Guard, and the U.S. Trade Representative; representatives of mariner groups, three U.S. shipyards that expressed interest in this market, the five U.S. liquefaction facilities that are under construction, and economic research firms that have studied the LNG market."

Local Government Solutions Guide for COVID-19 and Beyond: 'Alternative Public Service Solutions'
From the Executive Summary: "This resource guide is part of a set of documents developed by FEMA in response to the disaster recovery challenges state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments have faced due to COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019]. Although developed in response to COVID-19, many of the solutions can be applied beyond the context of disaster. FEMA held discussions with representatives from FEMA Regions, national associations, and other federal agency partners to identify challenges for SLTT governments. From these engagements three key topic areas were identified - adaptive design, grants management capacity, and alternative public service solutions."

Estimated Impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on Employment and Economic Output from July 2012 Through September 2012
From the Document: "In February 2009, in response to significant weakness in the economy, lawmakers enacted the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The legislation's numerous spending and revenue provisions can be grouped into several categories according to their focus: [1] Providing funds to states and localities--for example, by raising federal matching rates under Medicaid, providing aid for education, and increasing financial support for some transportation projects; [2] Supporting people in need--such as by extending and expanding unemployment benefits and increasing benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly the Food Stamp program); [3] Purchasing goods and services--for instance, by funding construction and other investment activities that could take several years to complete; and [4] Providing temporary tax relief for individuals and businesses--such as by raising exemption amounts for the alternative minimum tax, adding a new Making Work Pay tax credit, and creating enhanced deductions for depreciation of business equipment. When ARRA was being considered, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation estimated that it would increase budget deficits by $787 billion between fiscal years 2009 and 2019. CBO now estimates that the total impact over the 2009--2019 period will amount to about $833 billion. By CBO's estimate, close to half of that impact occurred in fiscal year 2010, and more than 90 percent of ARRA's budgetary impact was realized by the end of September 2012."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 5121, A Bill to Further Protect the United States Aviation System from Terrorist Attacks
From the Summary: "H.R. 5121 would authorize funding for aviation security programs administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that enacting H.R. 5121 would increase direct spending by $298 million in 2005 and about $4.1 billion over the next 10 years. Assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts, we also estimate that implementing H.R. 5121 would add $212 million in 2005 and almost $4.5 billion to discretionary spending over the next five years. Those amounts assume that future appropriations to pay salaries and expenses of baggage screeners would be reduced following installation of new baggage screening equipment at airports. Enacting the bill also could increase revenues, but we estimate that any such increase would not exceed $500,000 a year. H.R. 5121 contains an intergovernmental mandate as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) because it would require all armed law enforcement officers, including state, local, and tribal personnel, to identify themselves with a special, standardized credential when traveling on aircraft. CBO estimates that the costs to law enforcement agencies would be minimal and thus would not exceed the threshold established by UMRA ($60 million in 2004, adjusted annually for inflation)."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 1280, Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2005
From the Summary: "S. 1280 would authorize appropriations for U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) activities for fiscal years 2006 and 2007. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that appropriation of the authorized amounts would result in outlays of $4.7 billion in fiscal year 2006 and $14.6 billion over the 2006-2010 period. (About $500 million of the authorized amounts would be spent after 2010.) Enacting S. 1280 would have no effect on direct spending. Because the bill would raise existing civil penalties for violations of the Maritime Transportation Security Act, its enactment could affect revenues, but we expect that any resulting increases would be less than $500,000 annually."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 2712, Palestinian International Terrorism Support Prevention Act of 2017
From the Document: "H.R. 2712 would expand federal sanctions and reporting requirements related to illicit interactions with Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). It would direct the President to identify in a report to the Congress and impose sanctions on foreign people and entities that have assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support to designated individuals and entities that are members or agents of Hamas or PIJ, or to individuals and entities that support the activities of the two terrorist organizations. The bill also would direct the President to identify and impose sanctions on individuals who engage in significant transactions with designated individuals and entities within Hamas and PIJ's nexus. Additionally, the bill would direct the President to identify in a report and impose sanctions on foreign governments that have provided material support to international terrorism and specifically to Hamas and PIJ. Finally, the bill would require a report to the Congress on the activities of foreign countries intended to disrupt the global fundraising, financing, and money laundering activities of Hamas and PIJ."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 5796, Patents for Humanity Act of 2021
From the Document: "H.R. 5796 would require the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) to conduct a biennial competition to award certificates to applicants for patents that address humanitarian issues. A certificate could be redeemed by an awardee to accelerate a patent application, an ex parte reexamination proceeding, or an appeal to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. PTO is currently administering Patents for Humanity as a pilot program, and H.R. 5796 would codify that program. Using information from PTO, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that issuing rules and administering the competition would cost less than $500,000 over the 2022-2026 period. PTO is authorized to collect fees in amounts sufficient to offset its annual appropriation, and CBO expects that the agency would adjust fee collections to match any increase in operating costs. On that basis and assuming appropriation action consistent with that authority, CBO estimates that any net change in discretionary spending would be negligible. If PTO increases fees to offset the costs of implementing provisions of the bill, H.R. 5796 would increase the cost of an existing mandate on private and intergovernmental entities required to pay those fees. Using information from PTO, CBO estimates that the incremental cost of the mandate would be small and would not exceed the annual thresholds established in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act for intergovernmental and private-sector mandates ($85 million and $170 million in 2021, respectively, adjusted annually for inflation)."
