Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 3397, Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010
"S. 3397 would permit the Department of Justice (DOJ) to authorize long-term care facilities (such as nursing homes) to dispose of certain controlled substances. Based on information from DOJ, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing the bill would have no significant effect on the department's spending on drug control programs. S. 3397 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures would not apply. S. 3397 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 CBO staff contact for this estimate is Mark Grabowicz. The estimate was approved by Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis."

Interagency Security Committee (ISC) Information Document ID-03-01: Escape Hoods
"A number of Federal agencies are in the process of considering whether to provide escape hoods to employees for use in the event of chemical, biological or other emergency events. The Interagency Security Committee, has developed the following guidance to assist managers in the decision making process of determining when to purchase and distribute such protection devices to their employees. The escape hood is designed and used as a quick, simple means of providing users with a source of filtered or supplied air to safely exit an environment in which the air may be contaminated. As such, the escape hood is designed for a one-time use of short duration. The decision to procure escape hoods is influenced by a number of factors which include threat and risk assessments, an evaluation of other available protective options such as shelter-in-place, and an understanding of the capabilities, features, and limitations of escape masks on the market. Equally important are a number of additional issues such as training capability, logistics and funding which need to be carefully considered prior to a large scale purchase and distribution of hoods."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 569, Water Quality Investment Act of 2007
From the Summary: "H.R. 569 would authorize the appropriation of $1.80 billion over the 2008-2012 period for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide grants to municipalities and states to control overflows of untreated wastewater that can occur during episodes of wet weather. Such overflows of sewage can pose a health and safety risk if they flow into rivers, lakes, and streets. This legislation also would permit states and municipalities to use the grant money to provide loans for eligible projects. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing this legislation would cost about $1.45 billion over the next five years and an additional $0.35 billion after 2012, assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or receipts. H.R. 569 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. Enacting this bill would benefit states and municipalities receiving grant funding to control sewer overflow; any costs that they might incur would result from complying with conditions of federal assistance."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 2937, Pipeline Infrastructure and Community Protection Act of 2011
From the Summary: "H.R. 2937 would increase certain civil penalties for violating pipeline safety regulations. Civil penalties are recorded in the budget as revenues and deposited in the general fund of the Treasury. However, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that any increase in civil penalties would be small and would have no significant effect on the federal budget. Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because enacting the legislation could affect revenues. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 700, Healthy Communities Water Supply Act of 2007
From the Summary: "CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing this legislation would cost $86 million over the 2007-2012 period, assuming appropriation of the authorized amount. H.R. 700 would authorize an Environmental Protection Agency program to provide grants to states, interstate and intrastate water resource development agencies, local government agencies, private utilities, and nonprofit entities to develop projects that would enhance water supplies by reusing or treating wastewater. This legislation would authorize the appropriation of $125 million for a pilot program without any fiscal-year limitation. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues. H.R. 700 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. 4005, Gauging American Port Security Act
"CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing H.R. 4005 would cost about $1 million in fiscal year 2013, from appropriated funds. Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. H.R. 4005 would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to conduct a study on gaps in security at U.S. ports. The study would be submitted to the Congress in classified form and contain an unclassified annex. In addition, the bill would direct DHS to share the results of the study, as appropriate, with federal agencies, state, local, and tribal governments, and port system owners and operators. Based on the cost of similar activities, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 4005 would cost about $1 million in fiscal year 2013, assuming availability of appropriated funds. H.R. 4005 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 Mark Grabowicz. The estimate was approved by Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 493, SBIR/STTR Reauthorization Act of 2011
From the Summary: "S. 493 [SBIR/STTR (Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer) Reauthorization Act of 2011] would extend and expand programs that require certain federal agencies to set aside portions of their research and development budgets for small businesses. The bill would require participating agencies to collect and report information about program participants that would be used both for program evaluation and for business development. S. 493 also would authorize the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to study the operation and effectiveness of the programs. Based on information from the Small Business Administration (SBA) and other participating agencies, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing S. 493 would cost $150 million over the 2012-2016 period, subject to 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."
