Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 2328, Reauthorizing and Extending America's Community Health Act
This is the Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate as ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on July 17, 2019. From the Bill Summary: "H.R. 2328 would extend funding for several federal public health programs, change portions of Medicare, and reduce scheduled cuts to allotments for Medicaid disproportionate share hospitals (DSH) that defray the costs of treating uninsured and Medicaid patients. In addition, H.R. 2328 would protect patients from surprise medical bills, and it would reduce payments to health care providers who work in facilities where surprise bills are likely, particularly providers of emergency care and ancillary services such as anesthesia. The bill also would increase federal funding for Medicaid in the U.S. territories."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 731, Anti-Border Corruption Improvement Act
From the Document: "Current law requires Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to administer polygraph examinations to nearly all applicants for law enforcement positions. S. 731 would broaden the criteria for waiving that requirement for certain applicants. Using information from CBP, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing the bill would have no significant effect on the agency's spending to vet applicants for law enforcement positions because the expanded exemption would probably not affect very many people."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 1052, Rare Earth Element Advanced Coal Technologies Act
From the Document: "S. 1052 would authorize the appropriation of $23 million annually over the 2020-2027 period for the Department of Energy (DOE) to develop advanced technologies to extract rare earth elements and minerals from coal and coal byproducts. In 2019, DOE allocated $18 million for such activities. The bill also would direct DOE to submit a report to the Congress on the development of such technologies. Based on historical spending patterns for similar activities, and assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing S. 1052 would cost $66 million over the 2019-2024 period and $165 million over the 2019-2029 period."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Effects of Rules Committee Print 116-27, the Homeland Security Improvement Act
of 2019, as Reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security, with Modifications
From the Document: "Rules Committee Print 116-27, a modified version of the text of H.R. 2203, as reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security, would make several changes to immigration policy and to the operations and oversight of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Among those changes, section 208 of the bill would terminate DHS's Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection's policy of limiting the number of prospective asylum applicants who may cross the international border based on the space available at the port of entry (known as metering). Ending MPP and metering would allow more aliens (non-U.S. nationals) who have expressed a fear of returning to their country of nationality to enter the United States while awaiting removal proceedings before an immigration judge. It is at such proceedings that affected aliens have the opportunity to seek relief from removal."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Effects of H.R. 3190, the BURMA Act of 2019, as Posted on the Website of the House Majority Leader on September 20, 2019
From the Document: "H.R. 3190 would require the Administration to impose sanctions on current and former officials of the Burmese military who are responsible for human rights abuses. Sanctions also would apply to any person who has knowingly provided support to those officials or their family members. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] expects that revenues would increase from penalties for violating economic sanctions on foreign individuals and entities. Under current law, half of all civil penalty revenues collected from violations of any licenses, orders, regulations, or prohibitions issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act is deposited into the Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund. U.S. persons affected by acts of international terrorism can be compensated with payments from the fund, and demand for compensation generally exceeds the balances in the fund. Thus, increasing deposits into the fund would increase direct spending for compensation."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 3623, Climate Risk Disclosure Act of 2019
This is the Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate as ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on July 16, 2019. From the Document: "H.R. 3623 would require publicly traded companies to annually disclose certain climate-related information to the public. Under the bill such companies would need to describe physical and financial risks they would face under different climate change scenarios, explain strategies and corporate governance processes in place to manage those risks, and analyze the social cost associated company greenhouse gas emissions. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would be required to establish and periodically update rules to implement the climate disclosure requirements and annually assess and report to the Congress on the extent to which public companies are in compliance. The Government Accountability Office would be required to periodically evaluate the SEC's effectiveness in carrying out and enforcing the new climate disclosures."

This is the Congressional Budget Office [CBO] Cost Estimate as reported by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on September 26, 2019. From the Document: "S. 1678 would require the State Department to consult with the Congress before altering bilateral relations between the United States and any country that has changed its relationship with Taiwan. On the basis of information about the department's ongoing efforts to promote relations between Taiwan and foreign countries, CBO estimates that implementing S. 1678 would cost less than $500,000 over the 2020-2024 period; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 1976, Federal Permitting Reform and Jobs Act
This is the Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs on July 24, 2019. From the Document: "S. 1976 would permanently authorize the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (FPISC). The council, whose authorization expires in December 2022, aims to improve the timeliness, predictability, and transparency of the federal review process for nonfederal infrastructure projects that the council may assist. The bill would expand the number of projects that the council may assist, set a goal that the federal permitting process for such projects be completed in two years, clarify the role of the FPISC to resolve disputes among federal agencies, and make technical corrections to the federal permitting process. Finally, the bill would authorize the FPISC to use fees collected by the council from project sponsors to reimburse state, local, and tribal governments for any work they provide to the council. To date, no fees have been collected by the FPISC and CBO [Congressional Budget Office] has no basis for estimating that fees collected under the bill would be significant. Furthermore, CBO expect that any collections would probably be spent soon after the collection so that the net effect on direct spending would be negligible."

Under the bill, the council would provide information on best practices for agencies to prepare for and respond to severe weather. The bill also would direct every agency to include a severe weather plan in its performance plans."

From the Document: "H.R. 2189 would direct the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to continue implementing the agency's Digital Coast Program. Under that program, NOAA makes geospatial data, decision-support tools, and best practices regarding the management of coastal areas available on a public website. In 2019, NOAA used $2 million of appropriated funds to carry out the program. The bill also would direct NOAA to focus additional data collection efforts on underserved coastal areas, such as in the Arctic."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 1975, Cybersecurity Advisory Committee Authorization Act of 2019
This is the Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate as ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security on September 25, 2019. From the Document: "H.R. 1975 would require the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to establish an advisory committee that would be composed of members from state and local governments and the private sector. The committee would provide CISA with recommendations on the implementation of cybersecurity policies and programs. Using information from the agency about the administrative costs of similar advisory committees, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that staff salaries, travel costs, and other expenses would be less than $500,000 annually. In total, implementing H.R. 1975 would cost $2 million over the 2020-2024 period; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriations."

This is the Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation on July 24, 2019. From the Document: "S. 1349 would direct the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to develop a process so that law enforcement officers and people with active security clearances could enroll in the PreCheck program without going through the normal application process. PreCheck expedites the security screening process for commercial airline travelers. Under the bill, TSA would develop procedures to verify that applicants meet the qualifications in the bill. Applicants who qualify under the bill would still pay the applicable cost-recovery fees to TSA to participate in the PreCheck program."

DHS is currently carrying out activities similar to those required by the bill. Any new activities required under the bill would not require substantial action by the department and would cost less than $500,000, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates."

That excluded property, primarily the area around the National Mall, would be named the Capital. The new state would be provided with two U.S. Senators and one Member of the House of Representatives. Finally, the bill would outline new responsibilities for the state and establish a process for transferring certain powers from the federal government to the new state."

This is the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Cost Estimate as ordered reported by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on March 24, 2021. From the Document: "H.R. 1921 would authorize the appropriation of $20 million annually over the 2022-2026 period for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Lake Pontchartrain Basin Restoration Program. That program provides grants and technical assistance for projects that have been identified in a management plan approved under the EPA's National Estuary Program to improve the ecological health of the basin. In 2021, EPA received appropriations totaling $2 million to carry out the program. The bill also would require EPA to ensure the basin's management plan is revised at least every five years, expand the geographic definition of the basin, and allow EPA to use up to 5 percent of the appropriated funds to administer the program."

The bill also would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to review implementation of those information sharing activities. Lastly, H.R. 1870 would authorize DHS to develop a training program for nonfederal law enforcement agencies."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: Transportation Security Administration Legislation [April 23, 2021]
"On March 18, the House Committee on Homeland Security ordered reported the following bills: [1] H.R. 1871, the Transportation Security Transparency Improvement Act, would direct the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to improve the transparency of the agency's guidelines for sensitive security information (SSI) and international aviation security directives by clearly designating SSI, reviewing and updating SSI guidelines, coordinating with aviation industry and law enforcement personnel, and briefing the Congress. [2] H.R. 1877, the Security Screening During COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] Act, would direct TSA, in consultation with the Department of Health and Human Services, to issue and begin implementing a plan to reduce the risk of coronavirus transmission at TSA checkpoints. The bill also would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to review that plan. [3] H.R. 1893, the Transportation Security Preparedness Act of 2021, would direct TSA to survey its workforce and report to the Congress regarding the agency's efforts to mitigate transmission of the COVID-19 virus among the workforce. [...4] H.R. 1895, the Transportation Security Public Health Threat Preparedness Act of 2021, would authorize TSA to provide personnel to other federal agencies to coordinate efforts to address public health threats to the U.S. transportation security system."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 1333, National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants Act
This is the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Cost Estimate as ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on April 14, 2021. From the Document: "The Immigration and Nationality Act 'grants the President broad discretion to suspend the entry of aliens into the United States.' H.R. 1333 would amend that act to narrow the President's authority to impose entry or visa restrictions on aliens (non-U.S. nationals) based on their country of birth, country of nationality, and certain other characteristics. By limiting the President's authority to restrict entry into the United States, the bill could increase the number of aliens who arrive in the country and receive federal benefits. However, the current Administration has not proposed any entry or visa restrictions that would be affected by H.R. 1333; to the contrary, it has revoked several entry and visa restrictions that had been promulgated by the previous Administration. Therefore, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1333 would have no budgetary effects. (CBO has no basis for predicting whether a future Administration would seek to impose entry or visa restrictions in the absence of this legislation.)"

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 2118, Securing America from Epidemics Act
This is the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Cost Estimate as ordered reported by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs on March 25, 2021. From the Document: "H.R. 2118 would authorize the United States to participate in the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI). CEPI's mission is to accelerate the development of vaccines to treat emerging infectious diseases and to facilitate access to those vaccines during outbreaks. In September 2020, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) signed an agreement to contribute $20 million to CEPI over a five-year period. An initial $4 million contribution was made for 2020 and a second $4 million payment is planned for 2021, both using available appropriations. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] expects that the USAID will contribute another $4 million in 2022 using available funds from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 or other existing appropriations. On that basis, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would require additional appropriations of $4 million a year over the 2023-2024 period to fulfill the $20 million commitment."

From the Document: "H.R. 1145 would expand an existing requirement for the Department of State to report on its efforts to endorse and obtain observer status for Taiwan at annual meetings of the World Health Organization. Under the bill, the department would provide information about how it modifies those efforts following meetings at which Taiwan was excluded as an observer. On the basis of information about similar reporting requirements, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost less than $500,000 over the 2021-2026 period. Such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds."

The rule would permanently establish a restricted area that would allow watercraft to pass through the channel but not to remain in the area except with prior approval from the Commander of Fort McNair. Using information from the Corps, CBO estimates that discontinuing the rulemaking would have no significant effect on spending subject to appropriation."

CBO's Estimate of Effects on Revenues of Senate Amendment 1460 for S. 914, the Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act of 2021, as Posted on April 27, 2021 (File: MAZ21454)
From the Document: "The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) expects that some of the funds authorized to be appropriated under S. 914 for grants to state revolving funds would be used by state and local governments to leverage additional funds. Those governments would issue tax-exempt bonds that JCT estimates would reduce federal revenues by about $1 billion over the 2021-2031 period. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that enacting the Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute to S. 914 would not affect direct spending."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 391, Global Health Security Act of 2021
This is the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Cost Estimate as ordered reported by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs on March 25, 2021. From the Document: "H.R. 391 would encourage the Administration to participate in and make financial contributions to programs that help public health systems detect and respond to infectious diseases. The bill would require the Administration to support the establishment of a new public-private Fund for Global Health Security and Pandemic Preparedness, which would help other countries implement health security strategies and respond to public health emergencies around the world. Although the bill would authorize the United States to contribute to the fund, it does not specify how much, and it would limit U.S. contributions to 33 percent of the total from all sources. The bill also would codify the roles and responsibilities of a current interagency review council to advance the goals of the Global Health Security Agenda, of which the United States is a member. Because the council already exists, CBO estimates that implementing those requirements would not increase costs."
