H.R. 1613
Outer Continental Shelf Transboundary Hydrocarbon Agreements
Authorization Act
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on May 15, 2013
SUMMARY
H.R. 1613 would approve a February 20, 2012, agreement between the United States and
Mexico regarding the development of oil and gas resources in what is known as the
transboundary area in the Gulf of Mexico. It would establish guidelines and procedures
for implementing that agreement and for Congressional review of any future agreements
governing that area.
Pay-as-you-go procedures apply to this bill because enacting the legislation would affect
offsetting receipts, which are recorded as a credit against direct spending. CBO estimates
that enacting H.R. 1613 would increase offsetting receipts from lease sales in the Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS) by $25 million over the 2014-2023 period, thus reducing direct
spending by a corresponding amount. Enacting H.R. 1613 would not affect revenues.
H.R. 1613 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.
ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The estimated budgetary impact of H.R. 1613 is shown in the following table. The costs of
this legislation fall within budget function 950 (undistributed offsetting receipts).
