H.R. 5266
A bill to reauthorize the National Estuary Programs,
and for other purposes
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
on September] 7, 2014
SUMMARY
H.R. 5266 would authorize the appropriation of $27 million annually over the 2015-2018
period for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) National Estuary Program.
The legislation also would amend the Clean Water Act to require that grants awarded to
state, local, and private entities by EPA are awarded in a competitive manner. CBO
estimates that implementing this legislation would cost $104 million over the 2015-2019
period, assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts.
Enacting H.R. 5266 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-
go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 5266 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). Any costs incurred by state, local, or tribal
governments, including matching contributions, would result from participation in a
voluntary federal program.
