Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 938: Procurement Fraud Prevention Act
From the document: "S. 938 would require the General Services Administration (GSA) in consultation with the Office of Management and Budget, to ensure that any direct communications with small businesses about providing goods and services to the federal government contain a notice that technical assistance from the federal government on the procurement process is available to small businesses at no cost. According to GSA and the Small Business Administration, many government websites already state that such assistance is available and there would be minimal administrative costs to expand those efforts. Thus, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates any additional costs to implement S. 938 would total less than $500,000 annually; such spending would be subject to the available of appropriated funds."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 3892: Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2015
"H.R. 3892 would require the Department of State to consult with the intelligencecommunity and report to the Congress on whether the Muslim Brotherhood meets thecriteria to be designated as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO). The department wouldbe required to provide a detailed explanation if it finds that organization does not meet thecriteria for such a designation, or if it finds that the organization qualifies but the Secretarydoes not designate it as an FTO. Under current law, it is illegal for U.S. persons to providesupport to FTOs and U.S. financial institutions must report any FTO funds under theircontrol to the Department of the Treasury. Members of FTOs are also subject to beingdenied entry into the United States or deportation.CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that reporting to the Congress would cost less than $500,000 over the2016-2021 period; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriatedfunds. Enacting H.R. 3892 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore,pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3892 would notincrease net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-yearperiods beginning in 2027."

The board would consist of senior representatives ofoperational agencies within DHS (such as Customs and Border Protection and the CoastGuard) and offices in DHS headquarters, including the Office of Intelligence and Analysis.The board would meet on a regular basis to coordinate departmental activities to combatterrorism. [...] CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that enacting H.R. 4407 would not increase net direct spending oron-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 2517: Combat Terrorist Use of Social Media Act of 2016
"S. 2517 would require the President, within 90 days of the bill's enactment, to submit to the
Congress a report on terrorists' use of social media and an overview of current efforts to
counter those activities. Within 180 days of the bill's enactment, the President would be
required to submit to the Congress a comprehensive strategy to counter terrorists' use of
social media and an evaluation of current efforts to combat such use of social media. Based
on the cost of similar activities, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing the bill would cost less
than $500,000 over the 2017-2021 period; such spending would be subject to the
availability of appropriated amounts."

Analysis of the President's 2017 Budget
"This report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) presents an analysis of the President's budget request for fiscal year 2017. The analysis is based on CBO's economic projections and estimating models, rather than on the Administration's, and the estimates of the effects of the President's tax proposals were prepared by the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT). The economic projections used in this analysis largely reflect CBO's assessment of the effects of fiscal policies under current law. Later this year, in a separate report, CBO will analyze the full economic effects of the President's proposals and their implications for the federal budget. Under the President's proposals, the federal budget deficit would decline in 2017 and 2018. After that, however, outlays would rise more quickly than revenues, so deficits would grow. As a result, federal debt held by the public would grow as well. By 2026-- the end of the period covered by the President's budget--such debt would be higher than it is now, measured as a percentage of the nation's economic output, and it would be rising."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 4361: Federal Information Systems Safeguards Act of 2016
"The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) provides a comprehensive framework to protect government information operations against threats. H.R. 4361 would clarify that, under FISMA, federal agencies have the sole and exclusive authority to take appropriate and timely actions to secure their information technology and information systems. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that while implementing H.R. 4361 would clarify Congressional intent, it would have no significant effect on the federal budget because it would not expand the duties of executive agencies. Because enacting the bill could affect direct spending by agencies not funded through annual appropriations, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. CBO estimates, however, that any net change in spending by those agencies would be negligible. Enacting H.R. 4361 would not affect revenues."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 4427: An Act to Amend Section 203 of the Federal Power Act
"Under the Federal Power Act, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)oversees and regulates interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas, oil, and a varietyof other energy-related activities. Under section 203 of that act, public utilities subject to itsprovisions must seek FERC's approval before engaging in certain transactions, includingcorporate mergers and consolidations of facilities. Currently, FERC must review all suchmergers and consolidations. H.R. 4427 would amend that section to specify that onlymergers and consolidations involving facilities valued at more than $10 million wouldrequire FERC's approval.CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing H.R. 4427 would have no significant net effect on thefederal budget. Based on information from FERC about average annual costs to reviewmergers and consolidations under current law, CBO estimates that specifying a minimumthreshold for such reviews would reduce the agency's administrative costs by less than$150,000 annually. However, because FERC recovers 100 percent of its costs through userfees, any change in that agency's costs (which are controlled through annual appropriationacts) would be offset by an equal change in fees that the commission charges, resulting inno net change in federal spending."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 3361: Department of Homeland Security Insider Threat and Mitigation Act of 2016
"H.R. 3361 would direct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to establish aprogram to protect the department's critical assets from insider threats (that is, harmfulactivities by department employees and certain other persons with access to classifiedinformation). DHS is currently carrying out activities similar to those required by the act;thus, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing H.R. 3361 would not significantly affect spendingby DHS. Because enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues,pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct spending oron-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 372: Competitive Health Insurance Reform Act of 2017
"Under current law, some activities of companies that provide health insurance are exempt from certain federal antitrust laws if the companies are engaged in the business of insurance and are regulated at the state level. H.R. 372 would remove that exemption and subject such businesses to federal antitrust laws, but would retain the antitrust exemption for certain collaborative activities between health insurance businesses. Based on an analysis of information from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) about the commission's current enforcement capabilities, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing H.R. 372 would increase costs by less than $500,000 for the FTC and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to enforce the expanded antitrust laws. Such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. H.R. 372 could affect the size and costs of premiums charged by private health and dental insurance companies, but those effects would probably be quite small. Changes in health or dental insurance premiums can affect federal revenues because of the favorable tax treatment that is accorded to employment-based coverage under current law. Premiums might be lower to the extent that enacting the bill would prevent insurers from engaging in practices currently exempted from antitrust law. […] CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 372 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 1258: HSA Technical Corrections Act
"H.R. 1258 would amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 by making technical corrections to that act, including striking provisions related to obsolete offices and outdated reporting requirements. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing H.R. 1258 would have no significant cost to the federal government. 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. 1258 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 1238: Securing our Agriculture and Food Act
"H.R. 1238 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. 1238 would cost about $500,000 a year; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. In 2016, the department allocated $475,000 for this activity. A full year appropriation for the department has not yet been enacted for 2017. Enacting H.R. 1238 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1238 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 1302: Terrorist and Foreign Fighter Travel Exercise Act of 2017
"H.R. 1302 would require the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to develop and carryout national exercises designed to evaluate the nation's preparedness against the threat of foreign fighters and terrorists. Based on information from FEMA, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing the legislation would not significantly affect the federal budget over the 2018-2022 period because the new exercises would be integrated into existing programs. Under current law, at least every two years, the agency conducts a national exercise to evaluate the preparedness of federal, state, local, and tribal governments to respond to catastrophic events-including acts of terrorism-in a coordinated manner. The agency allocated approximately $112 million in fiscal year 2016 for such activities including education and training efforts related to the ability to respond to emergencies. Under the bill, the agency would develop and conduct an exercise to test the ability to respond to the threat of persons leaving the United States to join or provide material support to terrorist organizations or of foreign fighters attempting to enter the United States. Under the bill, the agency also would be required to integrate those exercises into the national exercises carried out every two years under current law. Based on information from FEMA, CBO estimates that the agency would develop and integrate the new exercises into existing preparedness activities and would incur no significant additional costs."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 1297: Quadrennial Homeland Security Review Technical Corrections Act of 2017
"Every four years the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is required, to conduct a comprehensive review of its strategy to improve the security of the United States, including recommendations relating to the long-term strategy to improve security. H.R. 1297 would make technical changes to the matters that must be addressed in that quadrennial review. Based on information from DHS, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing H.R. 1297 would have no significant effect on the department's spending. 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. 1297 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028."

"H.R. 506 would establish a new federal crime against defrauding individuals of veterans' benefits. As a result, the government might be able to pursue cases that it otherwise would not be able to prosecute. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] expects that the bill would apply to a relatively small number of offenders, however, so any increase in costs for law enforcement, court proceedings, or prison operations would not be significant. Any such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds."

In addition, it would express the sense of the Congress that the department should support Ukraine's efforts to improve its cybersecurity. Using information about the costs of similar reports, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that the report required under H.R. 1997 would cost less than $500,000 over the 2018-2022 period; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds."

Under the legislation FEMA would submit an initial report to the Congress no later than 90 days after enactment and would provide status updates within one year of transmission and every two years thereafter. The act also would direct FEMA to enter into an agreement with the National Academy of Public Administration to review the implementation of the plans required under this act and to provide recommendations to the Congress after one year."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 3980: Redundancy Elimination and Enhanced Performance for Preparedness Grants Act [November 19, 2009]
"CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 3980 would have no significant cost over the next five years. Enacting this legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues. H.R. 3980 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments. The bill would direct the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to develop plans to eliminate redundant rules, regulations, and requirements related to reporting by grant recipients of the State Homeland Security Grant Program, the Urban Area Security Initiative funding, and other programs identified by the agency. FEMA also would be required to submit plans for developing and improving performance metrics and a general assessment of the goals and performance of these programs. Reports would be submitted to the Congress no later than 120 days after enactment and every two years thereafter. Based on the costs of similar administrative requirements, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 3980 would have a negligible impact on federal spending; any additional spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 2647: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 [June 22, 2009]
This Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate for the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010, "would authorize appropriations totaling $681 billion for fiscal year 2010 for the military functions of the Department of Defense (DoD), for certain activities of the Department of Energy (DOE), and for other purposes. That total includes $130 billion for the cost of overseas contingency operations, primarily in Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition, H.R. 2647 would prescribe personnel strengths for each active-duty and selected reserve component of the U.S. armed forces. CBO estimates that appropriation of the authorized amounts would result in outlays of $671 billion over the 2010-2014 period."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 4197: All Circuit Review Extension Act [April 1, 2014]
"CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that enacting H.R. 4197 would have no significant effect on the federal budget. The legislation could affect direct spending by agencies not funded through the annual appropriations (such as the Tennessee Valley Authority); therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. CBO estimates, however, that any net increase in spending by those agencies would not be significant. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues. H.R. 4197 would extend for three years the authority for federal employees who appeal a judgment of the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) to file their appeal at any federal court, instead of only the U.S. Court of Appeals. Based on information from MSPB and the Office of Special Counsel, CBO expects that allowing appeals to be filed in any federal circuit would lead to a small increase in the administrative burden of the MSPB and federal agencies. We estimate, however, that the costs associated with that increase would not be significant."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 3210: SECRET Act of 2017 [July 25, 2017]
"H.R. 3210 would require the National Background Investigations Bureau (NBIB), within the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), to provide three reports to the Congress. The reports would cover information about the backlog in federal investigations for security clearances, the process for conducting security clearances for the Executive Office of the President, and the costs to NBIB and the Department of Defense for such investigations. Information from OPM indicates that the information required for those reports is already compiled for other efforts. Thus, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates it would cost less than $500,000 over the 2018-2022 period to prepare the reports; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Enacting H.R. 3210 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you go procedures do not apply.

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."

Each of the 72 IG offices of the federal government currently have such an ombudsman. The bill also would create additional responsibilities for the ombudsmen and require additional reporting by IGs, agencies, and the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE). Information from CIGIE and some IGs indicates that most of the additional responsibilities and reporting requirements in the bill would not impose a significant administrative burden."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 4294: Prevention of Private Information Dissemination Act of 2017
"Large bank holding companies and certain nonbank financial companies are currently subject to extra supervision, capital requirements, and stress testing under the Dodd- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. In connection with that enhanced supervision, H.R. 4294 would establish a criminal penalty for federal employees who willfully disclose individually identifiable information collected from those institutions and for those who obtain such information under false pretenses. Both penalties would be set at $5,000. Because people who are prosecuted and convicted under H.R. 4294 could be subject to criminal fines, the federal government would probably collect additional penalties under the bill. Such fines are recorded as revenues, deposited in the Crime Victims Fund, and later spent without further appropriation action."
