U.S. Military's Force Structure: A Primer
From the Summary: "This primer is designed to be a reference work rather than a linear narrative. Chapter 1 describes Congressional Budget Office's conceptual approach to analyzing the military's force structure and costs, and the following three chapters discuss the particular organizational structures and roles of the Departments of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force. All of a department's major types of combat unit have their own entries, which discuss the size, cost, function, advantages, disadvantages, and past use of that type of unit. The final chapter includes similar entries for some major defense-wide organizations, such as Special Operations Command and the military's health care system. Each chapter also focuses on some special topics that are important for understanding the military's force structure, such as the integration of different types of units or the military's ability to conduct certain kinds of operations."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 3471: Veterans Mobility Safety Act of 2016
"H.R. [House Bill] 3471 would modify a program administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that assists eligible veterans with purchasing automobiles and having those vehicles adapted to accommodate the veterans' disabilities. The bill also would authorize VA to employ hearing aid specialists and would require VA to prepare an annual report documenting the access of veterans to hearing health services sponsored by VA. In total, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing H.R. 3471 would cost less than $500,000 over the 2017-2021 period; that spending would be subject to appropriation of the necessary amounts. Enacting H.R. 3471 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 2966: District of Columbia Judicial Financial Transparency Act
"S. [Senate Bill] 2966 would change portions of the District of Columbia Official Code that governs the D.C. Courts system. Under current law, the Congress annually appropriates funds for the District of Columbia Courts; and its expenditures are recorded in the federal budget. The legislation would revise the financial disclosure requirements for District of Columbia judges. The revisions would establish new dollar thresholds and requirements for reporting to the District of Columbia Commission on Judicial Disabilities and Tenure. The bill also would allow the District of Columbia Courts to collect fines, fees, and other payments via credit card or electronic funds transfer. In addition, S. 2966 would provide new authorities to certain judges and increase the limit for small claims cases in the District of Columbia from $5,000 to $10,000. Based on an analysis of the administrative costs of the District of Columbia Courts, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that the bill would have an insignificant effect on federal spending. However, the new financial disclosure requirements would require the District of Columbia to add up to one new staff member. Although the District of Columbia Small Claims Court could be presented with more claims under the bill, the number of judges addressing those claims would not be increased by the legislation. Cases in the setting of a small claims court are often more expeditious and inexpensive to resolve."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 320: Rapid DNA Act of 2016
"H.R. [House Bill] 320 would direct the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to issue standards and procedures for the use of certain automated processes to analyze DNA samples. The agency is currently undertaking activities to prepare for increased use of such enhanced analyses. Based on information from the FBI, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that enacting the bill would cost less than $500,000 annually; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 320 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027. H.R. 320 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 5226: Regulatory Integrity Act of 2016
"Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that implementing H.R. 5226 would have no significant cost over the next five years. The bill could affect direct spending by agencies not funded though annual appropriations; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. CBO estimates, however, that any net increase in spending by those agencies would be negligible. Enacting H.R. 5226 would not affect revenues. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5226 would not increase net direct spending or on budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027. H.R. 5226 would direct each federal agency to make information regarding their regulatory actions publicly available in a searchable format on a prominent website. That information would have to include the date a regulation was considered, its current status, an estimate of when the regulation would be final, and a brief description of the regulation. In addition, agencies would be required to track the details of all public communications about pending regulatory actions. Because this information is already collected by regulatory agencies, CBO estimates that the cost of making it available online would not be significant."

Sequestration Update Report: August 2016
"The Congressional Budget Office [CBO] is required by law
to issue a report by August 15 of each year that provides
estimates of the caps on discretionary budget authority in
effect for each fiscal year through 2021.
CBO has
slightly revised its estimates of the caps for 2016 since it
issued its previous report on the topic in December
2015.
In that earlier report, CBO estimated that the
appropriations for 2016 did not exceed the caps; CBO's
assessment remains unchanged-the discretionary appropriations
provided to date for 2016 do not exceed the
caps, and thus, by CBO's estimates, a further sequestration
(or cancellation of budgetary resources) will not be
required as a result of appropriation actions this year.
However, the authority to determine whether a sequestration
is required (and, if so, exactly how to make
the necessary cuts in budget authority) rests with the
Administration's Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). That agency, in its sequestration report issued in
January 2016, also found that, at that time, appropriations
for 2016 were at or below the caps."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 2785: Tribal Youth and Community Protection Act of 2016
"S. [Senate Bill] 2785 would reauthorize provisions of the Indian Alcohol and Substance Abuse
Prevention and Treatment Act of 1982 to authorize the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to
provide funding for tribes to combat alcohol and substance abuse among tribal members.
The bill also would authorize the Department of Justice (DOJ) to make grants to tribal
governments to enhance their criminal justice systems.
CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing S. 2785 would cost $37 million over the 2017-2021
period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. Enacting S. 2785 would not
affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 1157: Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians Land Transfer Act of 2016
"Under H.R. [House Bill] 1157, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians (Chumash Tribe),
could request that the Department of the Interior (DOI) take into trust approximately 1,400
acres of land the tribe owns in Santa Barbra County, California. DOI would hold the title to
that land for the benefit of the tribe if requested. The bill would prohibit certain types of
gaming on those lands. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing the bill would have no
significant budgetary effects related to holding the land in trust.
Enacting H.R. 1157 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1157 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2027."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 3438: Review Act of 2016
"H.R. 3438 would require federal agencies to postpone the implementation of any rule imposing an annual cost on the economy of at least $1 billion if a petition seeking judicial review of that regulation is filed within 60 days of the rule taking effect. Under the bill, implementation would be postponed until any judicial review is resolved. An analysis of recent reports by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs within the Office of Management and Budget indicates that about five regulations are issued each year that would have an estimated annual impact on the economy of $1 billion or more. A delay in implementing such regulations could affect spending subject to appropriation, direct spending, and revenues. For example, implementing the legislation could affect when rules related to federal entitlement programs or the collection of fees would take effect and those timing delays could either increase or decrease federal spending and revenues. However, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] has no basis for estimating how long such delays would last, how delays in the implementation of such rules would affect the regulatory process, or what effect they might have on the federal budget. Because enacting the legislation could affect direct spending and revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. CBO cannot determine whether enacting H.R. 3438 would increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits by more than $5 billion in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027. H.R. 3438 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 3299: Strengthening Public Health Emergency Response Act of 2016
From the document summary: "H.R. 3299 would establish an incentive program that awards vouchers for priority review to companies that obtain approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for certain drugs that can be used to counter the effects of biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear agents. The bill also would make several changes to the processes used to procure medical countermeasures in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Finally, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) would be required to report on programs to improve state, local, and hospital preparedness. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing H.R. 3299 would cost $20 million over the 2017-2021 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3299 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027. H.R. 3299 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: H.R. 3957: Emergency Citrus Disease Response Act of 2016
"H.R. 3957 would amend the Internal Revenue Code to allow certain investors to deduct the costs of replanting lost or damaged citrus plants in the year in which the costs are paid or incurred. Under current law, only the taxpayer who incurs the casualty loss to citrus plants or an investor with a minority interest who materially participates in the planting and related activities can deduct the replanting costs in the year of the activity--rather than capitalizing those costs and taking the deductions over a number of years. H.R. 3957 would allow minority owners who do not materially participate in the business to similarly deduct the costs of replanting. The bill would also allow a person who purchases the entire property for the purpose of replanting the lost or damaged citrus plants to take the same accelerated deduction. The provisions would expire for costs paid or incurred after December 31, 2025."

Fusion centers are collaborative efforts among federal, state, local, or tribal government agencies that combine resources, expertise, or information related to criminal or terrorist activity. The bill also would expand membership of the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center to include state and fusion centers in major urban areas. Under current law, DHS currently provides cybersecurity assistance to, and shares cybersecurity risk information with, fusion centers; the bill would codify those efforts."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 5346: Securing our Agriculture and Food Act
"H.R. 5346 would amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to authorize a program within the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Health Affairs to coordinate efforts to defend U.S. food, agriculture, and veterinary systems against terrorism. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing H.R. 5346 would cost less than $500,000 a year; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. In 2016, the department allocated about $450,000 for this activity. Enacting H.R. 5346 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5346 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027. H.R. 5346 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments. The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Robert Reese. The estimate was approved by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis."

The legislation also would authorize DHS agencies to enter into agreements with the Smithsonian Institution for the temporary use of the institution's staff. Information from DHS indicates that many of the bill's requirements are already being met; thus, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2285 would cost less than $500,000 annually.

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 5429: SEC Regulatory Accountability Act
"H.R. 5429 would specify several new requirements for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to meet when developing or amending regulations. The bill would direct the SEC to expand the scope of its analysis of the effects of regulations to include an assessment of the problem the proposed regulation is designed to address, its costs and benefits, and available alternatives, and would require the SEC to review and consider modifying its regulations every five years. Under the bill, when adopting or amending rules expected to have an economic impact greater than $100 million annually, the SEC would need to develop and publish a plan to assess whether the regulation has achieved its stated purpose. Within two years of publishing such a rule, the bill would require the SEC to publish a report on the rules' costs, benefits, and other consequences using the performance measures identified in the plan issued when the rule was adopted."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 954: CO-OP Consumer Protection Act of 2016
"H.R. 954 would provide an exemption from the individual health insurance mandate for certain individuals who had coverage under a health plan that was issued under the Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan (CO-OP) program and later terminated. The CO-OP program was established by the Affordable Care Act and included federal loans to foster the creation of nonprofit plans that would offer health insurance to individuals and small employers. Under current law, individuals are required to maintain minimum essential coverage under a health insurance plan or pay a penalty for any month that they do not maintain such coverage, unless they qualify for one of the existing exemptions. H.R. 954 would exempt individuals from the mandate and from resulting penalties (which are recorded as revenues in the federal budget) under certain circumstances. Individuals enrolled in a health plan issued through the CO-OP program would be exempt from the individual mandate for the remaining months in a calendar year if that plan was terminated partway through the year. The changes from enacting H.R. 954 would be effective retroactively, starting on January 1, 2014."

"H.R. 5032 would remove a federal use restriction on a parcel of property within Louisa Community Park in the town of Louisa, Virginia. The use restriction was originally included as a condition of a grant provided by the National Park Service (NPS) to the town to develop the park and stipulates that property be used only for outdoor recreational purposes. Removing the use restriction would allow the town to repurpose a portion of the property to build a production well to help the town comply with federal drinking water quality standards."

CBO estimates that implementing this bill would cost $141 million over the 2017-2021 period, assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts. Enacting H.R. 5859 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that enacting H.R. 5859 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027. H.R. 5859 contains no intergovernmental or private sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). Some emergency response providers and jurisdiction in metropolitan areas would benefit from the grant established in the bill to fund counterterrorism training and exercises. Any costs to such providers and jurisdictions would result from complying with conditions of assistance."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 5636: National Institute of Standards and Technology Campus Security Act
"H.R. 5636 would require the Department of Commerce (DOC) to directly manage the law enforcement and security programs of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and to provide an annual report to the Congress on enforcement and security matters. The act also would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a study on NIST's current security services and to make recommendations on the use of private contractors to provide those services in the future. DOC currently has responsibility for overseeing NIST security activities. Based on the cost of similar activities, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing H.R. 5636 would cost less than $500,000 each year over the 2017-2021 period for DOC to prepare additional reports to the Congress and for GAO to conduct its study. Enacting H.R. 5636 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5636 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

Under the bill grants that are made specifically for improvements to public transit systems under construction or for improvements to public transit infrastructure would have to remain available to the recipient for at least 55 months.

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 5957: Federal Aviation Administration Veteran Transition Improvement Act of 2016
"Under current law, the personnel management system of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is exempt from many of the requirements of Title V of the United States Code, which governs the organization and personnel policies of most federal civilian agencies. H.R. 5957 would require the FAA to adopt policies, specified in Title V, related to the use of medical leave by certain disabled veterans. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that enacting H.R. 5957 would not affect the federal budget. According to the FAA, the agency is already in the process of updating its personnel policies to provide medical leave benefits for disabled veterans that are consistent with the provisions of Title V. As a result, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5957 would have no further effect on the agency's personnel policies or federal spending for the compensation and benefits of FAA employees, which is subject to appropriation. H.R. 5957 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 1215: Protecting Access to Care Act of 2017
"H.R. 1215 would impose limits on medical malpractice litigation in state and federal courts by capping awards and attorney fees, modifying the statute of limitations, and eliminating joint and several liability. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] expects that enacting H.R. 1215 would, on balance, lower costs for health care both directly and indirectly: directly, by lowering premiums for medical liability insurance; and indirectly, by reducing the use of health care services prescribed by providers when faced with less pressure from potential malpractice suits. Those reductions in costs would, in turn, lead to lower spending in federal health programs and to lower premiums for private health insurance. In total, CBO and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimate that enacting the legislation would reduce deficits by about $14 billion over the 2017-2022 period, and almost $50 billion over the 2017-2027 period. Off-budget revenues account for about $2 billion of that reduction. CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would reduce discretionary costs by about $1.5 billion over the 2017-2027 period, assuming appropriations actions consistent with the legislation."

The legislation would require that each program administered by a federal agency be described on OMB's website. The bill also would require a report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). S. 317 also would authorize the appropriation of $18 million for the 2018-2020 period to cover the additional costs of collecting and posting this information. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing S. 317 would cost $18 million over the 2018-2020 period, assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts. Enacting S. 317 could affect direct spending by some agencies not funded through annual appropriations; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply.

The bill also would establish an Office of the Municipal Ombudsman within the EPA to provide technical assistance to municipalities seeking to comply with the Clean Water Act, to promote integrated planning as part of that act's permitting process, and to disseminate information to eligible entities about the availability of financial assistance. Finally, the bill would direct the EPA to revise the factors that municipalities should consider when measuring the financial capability of households to pay for future investments in a community's water infrastructure."

Assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing H.R. 2406 would cost about $10.5 billion over the 2018-2022 period. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

The report also would describe how those policies and procedures were used to disclose such vulnerabilities over the past year and, if available, how recipients of those disclosures acted upon the information. Based on an analysis of information from DHS, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost less than $500,000 over the 2018-2022 period; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds."

"H.R. 3359 would rename the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. The bill also would consolidate certain missions of NPPD under two divisions: the Cybersecurity Division and the Infrastructure Security Division.

On that basis, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 3359 would have a negligible effect on the federal budget."
