Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 4806: Reducing Over-Classification Act of 2008
"H.R. 4806 would make several amendments to the Homeland Security Act of 2002 designed to expand the amount of homeland security and intelligence information that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shares with state and local governments, law enforcement agencies, emergency response providers, and private-sector organizations. This information sharing would be accomplished by minimizing the number of documents DHS determines to be classified, and providing classified intelligence products in an unclassified format when such intelligence products would benefit those entities. The bill also would require periodic auditing of classified information to assess compliance with classification policies and training for DHS employees on those new requirements. H.R. 4806 also would require DHS to assess technologies that would allow the department to track the classification and sharing of classified documents, and develop a plan for implementing such technologies. Since the bill would not require DHS to deploy such technologies, this estimate does not include implementation costs. However, based on information from DHS and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, CBO anticipates that such costs could be significant."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 2552: Identity Theft Improvement Act of 2011
"H.R. 2552 would eliminate the state-of-mind requirement in certain identity theft cases. Under current law, prosecuting attorneys in identity theft cases must prove that the defendant knew that the means of identification belonged to another individual. Based on information from the Department of Justice, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that H.R. 2552 would not have a significant impact on the federal budget because the bill would probably affect only a small number of cases. Enacting H.R. 2552 could affect direct spending and revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO estimates that the net effects would be insignificant for each year. Those convicted under H.R. 2552 would be subject to criminal fines; therefore, the federal government might collect additional fines if the bill is enacted. Criminal fines are recorded as revenues, deposited in the Crime Victims Fund, and later spent. CBO expects that any additional revenues and direct spending would not be significant. Persons prosecuted and convicted under the bill also could be subject to the seizure of assets by the federal government. Proceeds from the sale of such assets are recorded as revenues, deposited into the Assets Forfeiture Fund, and spent mostly in the same year. Thus, enacting H.R. 2552 could increase both revenues deposited into those funds and direct spending from them. However, CBO expects that any increase in revenues or spending would be negligible."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 6193: Improving Public Access to Documents Act of 2008
"H.R. 5983 would direct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to improve the security of its computer networks and increase oversight of contractors that provide network services to the department. Assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5983 would cost $163 million over the 2009-2013 period for DHS to hire additional staff to carry out the bill's provisions. Enacting H.R. 5983 would not affect direct spending or revenues. H.R. 5983 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal government H.R. 6193 would make several amendments to the Homeland Security Act of 2002 designed to promote the sharing of homeland security and intelligence information by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In particular, the bill would direct the Secretary of DHS to develop, in consultation with the National Archives and Records Administration, a standard format for intelligence products that are designated as controlled unclassified information (CUI), and directs DHS to share, when appropriate, such information with state and local governments, the private sector, and the public. The bill also would require periodic auditing of information designated as CUI and annual training for DHS employees on the proper format for such products."

Enacting H.R. 5983 would not affect direct spending or revenues. H.R. 5983 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 1946: Public Corruption Prosecution Improvements Act
"S. 1946 would broaden the coverage of the current laws against public corruption and would increase penalties for such offenses. The legislation would expand the number of offenses relative to fraud committed by public officials that could be federally prosecuted. The bill would authorize the appropriation of $25 million for each of fiscal years 2008 through 2011 mostly for the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute violators of the bill's provisions. Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost $100 million over the 2008-2012 period. S. 1946 could affect direct spending and receipts, but we estimate that any such effects would not be significant."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 1662: Bureau of Reclamation Site Security Costs Act of 2007
"Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Bureau of Reclamation has enhanced security measures at its dams and associated facilities. The costs of these security measures fall into two general categories: capital costs such as making physical improvements to infrastructure, and operation and maintenance (O&M) costs such as increasing the number of guards and patrols at the dams and facilities. Under current law, entities that purchase water and hydroelectric power associated with the operation of the dams and facilities must reimburse the bureau for a portion of O&M costs. H.R. 1662 would limit the total amount of security-related O&M costs that such entities would pay to the bureau to $18.9 million a year, adjusted annually for inflation. The bureau expects to charge the entities no more than that amount, adjusted for inflation, over the next 10 years under current law. Thus, CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would have no significant impact on the budget."

The bill would apply to all proceedings commenced after the date of enactment, and when practicable, to proceedings pending on such date. CBO estimates that implementing S. 2450 would have no significant effect on the federal budget. Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 3053: Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2017
"Under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA), the federal government, through the Department of Energy (DOE), is responsible for permanently disposing of the nation's nuclear waste in a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. H.R. 3053 would not change that fundamental requirement, but would temporarily limit DOE's authority to collect certain fees charged to utilities with nuclear plants to cover the costs of disposing of the waste they generate and would authorize DOE to enter into agreements to provide benefits to state, local, and tribal governments that might host or be affected by facilities related to the waste management program."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 2405: Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of 2011
"H.R. 2405 would amend the Public Health Service Act to authorize funding for certain activities carried out by various agencies and offices within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that would support the readiness of the public health system to address public health and medical emergencies. Those activities are conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and several offices within the HHS Office of the Secretary. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost $395 million in 2012 and $7.9 billion over the 2012-2016 period, assuming the appropriation of the authorized amounts. The funding authorized by H.R. 2405 is similar to the appropriation amounts enacted in recent years for the same activities. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues. H.R. 2405 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 2845: Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011
"The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) oversees the safety of pipelines that transport gas or hazardous liquids and provides grants to states for programs to ensure pipeline safety. For those activities, H.R. 2845 would authorize gross appropriations of $505 million over the 2012-2016 period. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] expects, however, that about $434 million of those appropriations would be offset by fees paid by pipeline operators over the four-year period. In addition, subject to provisions in appropriation acts, CBO estimates that the bill would authorize PHMSA to collect and spend about $10 million over the 2012-2016 period to recover its costs of conducting safety reviews at a pipeline project in the state of Alaska. CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2845 would have a net cost of $45 million over the 2012-2016 period, assuming appropriation of the specified and estimated amounts."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 1256: Swap Jurisdiction Certainty Act
"H.R. 1256 would require the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to jointly issue rules that define the application of United States regulations to swap transactions undertaken between a U.S. entity and a foreign entity. (A swap is a contract that calls for the exchange of cash between two participants based on an underlying rate or index or the performance of an asset.) Foreign participants in such transactions that are in compliance with the swap requirements of a country that is a member of the Group of Twenty Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors (G20-member nation) would be exempt from the new requirements under certain conditions. Based on information from the agencies, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] expects that implementing H.R. 1256 would require the CFTC and the SEC to develop the new rules and review the regulations of G20-member nations to determine whether exemptions would apply."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 4302, Homeless Assistance Act of 2019
This is the Congressional Budget Office [CBO] Cost Estimate as ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on September 20, 2019. From the Document: "H.R. 4302 would allow public housing agencies (PHAs) to disclose information about people that are homeless to the local Continuum of Care (CoC) in order to help those people access services. CoCs use appropriated funds to provide shelter and other services to people who are homeless; PHAs use appropriated funds to provide housing to low-income households. Because the bill would not significantly affect how those funds are spent, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 4302 would not have a significant effect on spending subject to appropriation."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: Analysis of Effects on Social Security of H.R. 860, the Social Security 2100 Act
From the Document: "[T]he Congressional Budget Office [CBO] and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) have analyzed the budgetary, financial, and long-term distributional effects of enacting H.R. 860, the Social Security 2100 Act, as introduced on January 30, 2019. The bill would increase benefits and raise Social Security payroll taxes. As shown in Table 1, CBO and JCT estimate that over the current baseline projection period (2020 to 2029), enactment of H.R. 860 would: [1] Increase Social Security outlays by $386 billion; [2] Increase federal revenues by $911 billion, the net effect of a decrease in on-budget revenues of $719 billion and an increase in off-budget revenues of $1.629 trillion; and [3] Reduce the federal deficit by $525 billion (excluding any effects on direct spending for programs other than Social Security)."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 1850, Palestinian International Terrorism Support Prevention Act of 2019
This is the Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate as passed by the House of Representatives on July 23, 2019. From the Document: "H.R. 1850 would require the Administration to impose sanctions on foreign governments and persons (individuals or entities) who support terrorism and Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and their affiliates. Although the Administration has imposed a range of sanctions against terrorist organizations and their supporters such as those specified in the act, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] expects that enacting H.R. 1850 would slightly increase the number of people who would be subject to civil or criminal penalties for violating those sanctions. Penalties are recorded as revenues and a portion of those penalties can be spent without further appropriation. In total, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1850 would have insignificant effects on both revenues and direct spending."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 3289, Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019
This is the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Cost Estimate as ordered reported by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs on September 25, 2019. From the Document: "H.R. 3289 would require the Administration to impose sanctions on foreign persons (individuals or entities) responsible for human rights violations in Hong Kong. By requiring sanctions, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3289 would increase the number of people who would be denied visas by the Department of State and the number who would be subject to civil or criminal penalties. Most visa fees are retained by the department and spent without further appropriation, but some fees are deposited in the Treasury as revenues. Penalties also are recorded as revenues, and a portion of those penalties can be spent without further appropriation. Because CBO expects that very few additional people would be affected, CBO estimates that those provisions would have insignificant effects on both revenues and direct spending."

CBO Presentation: The Navy's Amphibious Warfare Force: Change Under Fiscal Constraints, National Defense Industrial Association 24th Annual Expeditionary Warfare Conference
This is "The Navy's Amphibious Warfare Force: Change Under Fiscal Constraints" presentation given at the National Defense Industrial Association's 24th Annual Expeditionary Warfare Conference on October 22, 2019. From the Website Summary: "CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that the Navy's 2020 shipbuilding plan would cost an average of $31 billion per year (in 2019 dollars) over 30 years. Under the plan, the fleet would grow from 290 ships today [October 22, 2019] to the Navy's overall goal of 355 in 2034 but would fall short of the Navy's specific goals for some types of ships. In particular, the Navy's plan would increase the amphibious warfare force from the current 32 ships to a high of 38 ships by 2026. A larger fleet would lead to higher operation and support costs."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 135, Elijah E. Cummings Federal Employee Antidiscrimination Act of 2019
This is the Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs on November 6, 2019.

CBO expects that agencies would incur costs to track and report discriminatory acts and to notify the public of any violations of antidiscrimination laws. Based on the costs of similar activities, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 135 would cost $1 million over the 2020-2024 period; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds."
