H.R. 4250
Sunscreen Innovation Act
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce
on July 15, 2014
SUMMARY
H.R. 4250 would modify the review process that allows the marketing of certain new
ingredients in non-prescription sunscreen based on a determination by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) that they are generally recognized as safe and effective. CBO
estimates that implementing H.R. 4250 would cost $28 million over the 2015-2019 period,
assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. H.R. 4250 would not affect direct
spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 4250 contains no intergovernmental mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act (UMRA).
The bill would impose private-sector mandates, as defined in UMRA, because it would
allow FDA to require that marketing applications for certain sunscreen products be
submitted in a new standardized format. CBO estimates that the direct cost of complying
with those requirements would not exceed the annual threshold established by UMRA for
private-sector mandates ($152 million in 2014, adjusted annually for inflation).

The estimated budgetary effect of H.R. 4250 is shown in the following table. The costs of
