Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 658: FAA Reauthorization and Reform Act of 2011
"H.R. 658 would authorize appropriations, mainly over the 2011-2014 period, for activities of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other federal programs related to aviation. (A full-year appropriation for aviation programs in 2011 has not yet been enacted. For this estimate, CBO has assumed that the partial-year funding already provided will be increased proportionately--annualized--to provide full-year funding.) CBO and staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimate that implementing H.R. 658 would: Increase discretionary spending by $34 billion over the 2011-2016 period; and Increase revenues by $34 million over the 2011-2016 period and $4 million over the 2011-2021 period. Because the legislation would increase revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. H.R. 658 contains intergovernmental and private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) because it would impose new requirements on both public and private entities that own aircraft or airports. CBO estimates that the aggregate cost of intergovernmental mandates in the bill would fall well below the annual threshold established in UMRA ($71 million in 2011, adjusted annually for inflation). The bill would impose additional private-sector mandates on operators of certain aircraft, entities registering or obtaining certification with the FAA, commercial air carriers, employees in air or rail industries, and unions. Based on information from the FAA, the National Mediation Board, and industry sources, CBO estimates that the aggregate cost of complying with the private-sector mandates would exceed the annual threshold established in UMRA ($142 million in 2011, adjusted annually for inflation)."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 772: AMBER Alert in Indian Country Act of 2017
"S. 772 would reauthorize the AMBER alert grant program and extend grant eligibility to Indian tribes. The AMBER alert program is a partnership among law enforcement agencies, transportation agencies, and communication providers to provide alerts on child abduction cases. Under current law, that funding is only available to states. The bill would authorize the appropriation of $10 million in 2018--$5 million for AMBER alert grants and an additional $5 million for the Department of Justice to carry out activities related to integrating state, regional, and tribal communication plans and developing new technologies to improve AMBER alert communications. Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing the bill would cost $10 million over the 2018-2022 period. In previous years no funds have been appropriated for those efforts. Enacting S. 772 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting S. 772 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. 1997:Ukraine Cybersecurity Cooperation Act of 2017
"H.R. 1997 would require the Department of State to submit a report to the Congress on efforts by the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to strengthen cybersecurity in Ukraine and on new areas for bilateral collaboration. 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."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 3980: Redundancy Elimination and Enhanced Performance for Preparedness Grants Act [August 4, 2010]
"H.R. 3980 would authorize the appropriation of whatever amounts are necessary for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to develop plans to eliminate redundant rules, regulations, and reporting requirements for certain grant programs, including the State Homeland Security Grant Program and the Urban Area Security Initiative, and to develop performance metrics to assess the effectiveness of those programs. 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."

"S. 1768 would amend the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977 to make changes to the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), an interagency program focused on reducing earthquake-related risks to life and property. The bill would authorize the appropriation of $735 million over the 2018-2022 period for the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to continue the program."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 1370: Department of Homeland Security Blue Campaign Authorization Act of 2017
"H.R. 1370 would authorize the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to implement a program to combat human trafficking; this program would be known as the Blue Campaign. (DHS currently carries out a similar program, which includes activities to raise awareness of human trafficking and training for law enforcement personnel.) H.R. 1370 would authorize the appropriation of $819,000 for each of fiscal years 2018 through 2022 for the campaign. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing the act would cost about $4 million over the 2018-2022 period, assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts. 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. 1370 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028. H.R. 1370 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."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 4478: FISA Amendments Reauthorization Act of 2017
"H.R. 4478 would extend for four years the authority of the federal government to conduct surveillance under title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) of 1978 (sections 1881-1881g of title 50, United States Code), as added by the FISA Amendments Act [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] of 2008 (Public Law 110-261) and by the USA FREEDOM Act [Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ending Eavesdropping, Dragnet-collection and Online Monitoring Act] of 2015 (Public Law 114-23). That authority is set to expire on December 31, 2017. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] does not provide estimates for classified programs; therefore, this estimate addresses only the unclassified aspects of the bill. On that limited basis, CBO estimates that implementing the unclassified provisions of the bill would cost $3 million over the 2018- 2022 period, subject to the availability of appropriated funds."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 1684: Managing Arson Through Criminal History Act of 2010
"S. 1684 would direct the Department of Justice (DOJ) to make grants to states and other jurisdictions to establish registration programs for persons convicted of arson or bombing. The bill also would direct DOJ to establish a national arsonist and bomber registry and Web site. Assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO estimates that implementing S. 1684 would cost $17 million over the 2011-2015 period. This legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. S. 1684 would impose intergovernmental mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) on state and tribal governments. CBO estimates that the cost of complying with those mandates would fall well below the annual threshold established in UMRA for intergovernmental mandates ($70 million in 2010, adjusted annually for inflation). S. 1684 contains no private-sector mandates as defined in UMRA."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 5114: Flood Insurance Reform Priorities Act of 2010
"H.R. 5114 would authorize the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to enter into and renew flood insurance policies through fiscal year 2015. Under current law, that authority will expire at the end of May 2010. In addition, the legislation would make several changes to the NFIP, which would increase premium income. […]. By raising certain civil penalties on lending institutions, CBO estimates that enacting the bill would increase revenues by about $1 million per year. Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because enacting the legislation would affect revenues. […]. CBO estimates that the changes made to the NFIP by H.R. 5114 would yield additional premium income of $2.8 billion for insurance policies that FEMA can offer under current law. However, CBO estimates that those receipts would be spent to pay insurance claims expected under current law, resulting in no net change to direct spending over the 2011-2020 period. H.R. 5114 would impose an intergovernmental and private-sector mandate, as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA), on public and private mortgage lenders. Because the mandate would require small changes in existing disclosure requirements, CBO expects that the cost to comply with the mandate would be small and fall well below the annual thresholds established in UMRA for intergovernmental and private-sector mandates ($70 million and $141 million in 2010, respectively, adjusted annually for inflation)"

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 5116: America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010
"H.R. 5116 would authorize appropriations totaling about $86 billion over the 2011-2015 period for several agencies to support scientific research, industrial innovation, and certain educational activities. Assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would cost about $65 billion over the 2011-2015 period, and about $20 billion after 2015. Enacting the legislation could increase revenues (from certain fees) and associated direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures would apply. However, CBO estimates that the net effects would be negligible for each year. H.R.. 5116 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 193: USA PATRIOT Act Sunset Extension Act of 2011
"The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56), the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-458), and the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-177) expanded the powers of federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to investigate and prosecute terrorist acts. S. 193 would extend, until December 31, 2013, certain provisions of those acts that will otherwise expire in 2011. In addition, the bill would require the Department of Justice (DOJ) and certain offices within the intelligence community to prepare additional reports and audits relating to those investigations. Finally, S. 193 would permanently rescind $5 million from the unobligated balances of DOJ's Assets Forfeiture Fund. Assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing S. 193 would have discretionary costs of $9 million over the 2011-2016 period. We also estimate that enacting the legislation would decrease direct spending by $5 million over the 2011-2013 period (with no impact after 2013). In addition, we estimate that enacting the bill would affect revenues, but such effects would not be significant. Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because enacting the legislation would affect direct spending and revenues. CBO has determined that the provisions of S. 193 are either excluded from review for mandates under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) because they are necessary for national security or they contain no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 1510: United States Secret Service Uniformed Division Modernization Act of 2009 [May 13, 2010]
"S. 1510 would transfer the authority that governs pay and hours of work for current members of the United States Secret Service Uniformed Division from the District of Columbia Code to the U.S. Code. That transfer would result in several changes to the pay and benefits of Uniformed Division members, including a revised salary schedule. In addition, retired members of the Uniformed Division who also are members of the District of Columbia Police and Firefighters Retirement and Disability System would receive an increase of nearly 3 percent in their retirement compensation. CBO estimates that implementing this legislation would cost $46 million over the 2011- 2015 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. The bill also contains provisions that would increase direct spending for retirement benefits of the Uniformed Division. CBO estimates that, if enacted, S. 1510 would increase direct spending by $7 million over the 2011-2015 period and $15 million over the 2011-2020 period.1 Enacting the bill would have no effect on revenues. Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because enacting the legislation would affect direct spending. The bill 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. 2611: A bill to amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to authorize the Securing the Cities Initiative of the Department of Homeland Security, and for other purposes
"H.R. 2611 would authorize funding for fiscal year 2010 and subsequent years for the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to support the Securing the Cities Initiative, a program to detect illicit nuclear and radiological material in urban areas. For each city that participated in the program in 2009, the bill would authorize the appropriation of $40 million for fiscal year 2010, $20 million for 2011, and at least $10 million for each subsequent year. H.R. 2611 also would authorize the appropriation of such sums as may be necessary for each fiscal year to implement this program in at least two new areas. CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2611 would cost $206 million over the 2010- 2014 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues. H.R. 2611 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 4842: Homeland Security Science and Technology Authorization Act of 2010
"H.R. 4842 would authorize the appropriation of about $1.1 billion for fiscal year 2011 and about $1.2 billion for 2012 for the Directorate of Science and Technology in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The bill also would authorize the appropriation of about $306 million for 2011 and $315 million for 2012 for the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office in DHS. Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost $2.9 billion over the 2011-2015 period. In addition, H.R. 4842 would establish a Commission on the Protection of Critical Electric and Electronic Infrastructures. Because the bill would authorize the commission to accept and use gifts, enacting the legislation could have a negligible impact on offsetting receipts and associated direct spending. Therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures would apply to the legislation. Enacting H.R. 4842 would not affect revenues. H.R. 4842 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments."

Those discretionary costs of implementing the act are not discussed here; this cost estimate addresses only the effects that S. 3001would have on direct spending and revenues.1 S. 3001 contains provisions that would both increase and decrease direct spending and revenues, primarily from changes in the TRICARE pharmacy benefit and retirement programs, and from the sale of assets from the National Defense Stockpile. CBO estimates that enacting S. 3001 would, on net, decrease direct spending by $8 million over the 2009- 2013 period and would increase direct spending by $3 million over the 2009-2018 period. In addition, CBO estimates that enacting S. 3001 would increase revenues by $8 million over the 2009-2018 period."

"H.R. 1174 would remove the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and make it a cabinet-level agency. Under the bill, most of FEMA's current responsibilities would be transferred from DHS to the agency within 120 days of enactment. Several grant programs that FEMA currently administers would remain with DHS. H.R. 1174 would authorize the appropriation of $1.75 billion over the 2010-2012 period for an urban area all-hazards preparedness grant program. In addition, CBO estimates that appropriations totalling about $100 million over the next five years would be necessary for FEMA to operate independently from DHS and to establish a separate office of Inspector General (IG). Assuming appropriation of the necessary and specified amounts, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1174 would cost $1.1 billion over the 2010-2014 period. Enacting this legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues. H.R. 1174 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 3662: Implementing the Controlled Unclassified Information Framework Act of 2008
"S. 3662 would amend federal law concerning the security classification of government documents. The legislation would establish a Controlled Unclassified Information Office within the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to develop regulations and procedures for designating and releasing government information that is sensitive but not classified. In addition, the legislation would establish a council to advise NARA, require training for federal employees on using classifications, and require audits by inspectors general on the proper use of information-control designations. The bill also would authorize the appropriation of $14.5 million for NARA over the 2009-2103 period. Assuming appropriation of the specified and necessary amounts, CBO estimates that developing and implementing the new regulations, providing training, and conducting the required audits would cost $18 million in 2009 and $60 million over the 2009-2013 period. Although the legislation could affect agencies not funded through annual appropriations (such as the Tennessee Valley Authority or the U.S. Postal Service), CBO estimates that any net increase in spending by those agencies would not be significant. As a result, enacting the bill would have no significant impact on direct spending or revenues. S. 3662 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."

"S. 1756 would amend the Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of 2003 and the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000. The legislation would appropriate $4.5 million annually (plus adjustments for inflation) over the 2009-2023 period to supplement health care in communities affected by the U.S. nuclear testing program. In addition, under S. 1756, workers employed at nuclear test sites would be eligible for compensation and medical benefits.

Enacting the bill would not affect revenues. […] Section 4 would provide $4.5 million (plus adjustments for inflation as specified in the Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of 2003) annually over the 2009-2023 period for supplemental health care grants for communities of the Marshall Islands that were affected by the United States nuclear testing program."

Enacting the bill could also affect direct spending by agencies not funded through annual appropriations (such as the Tennessee Valley Authority or the U.S. Postal Service). CBO estimates, however, that any increase in spending by those agencies would not be significant or would be offset by corresponding increases in rates charged by those entities."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 3815: Homeland Security Open Source Information Enhancement Act of 2008
"H.R. 3815 would direct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to establish a program to collect and analyze open source (publicly available) information and disseminate reports and other products based on that analysis. Based on information from DHS, CBO expects that the department would hire about 10 people to carry out the activities required by the act. We estimate that the additional staff would cost about $1 million annually over the 2009-2013 period, assuming the availability of appropriated funds. Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues. H.R. 3815 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. On July 10, 2008, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 3815 as ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security on June 26, 2008. The two versions of the legislation are similar and the estimated cost is the same. The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Mark Grabowicz. This estimate was approved by Peter H. Fontaine, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 2058: Metropolitan Weather Hazards Protection Act of 2015
Taken from the report: "S. 2058 would require the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to complete a study that would identify areas without Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD). The study also would determine how NEXRAD could improve weather forecasts in those areas and would assess the feasibility of expanding radar capabilities in those areas. Finally, the bill would require NOAA to develop a peer-reviewed plan to improve radar coverage in underserved areas. Based on information provided by NOAA, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing S. 2058 would cost less than $500,000; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Enacting the bill 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. S. 2058 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 Jeff LaFave. The estimate was approved by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis."
