                                  S. 611
 Grassroots  Rural  and Small  Community Water Systems Assistance Act

                            on November 19, 2015


SUMMARY

S. 611 would authorize the appropriation of $15 million annually over the 2016-2020
period for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) program that provides technical
assistance to small public water systems. The authorization for this program expired in
2003, but the program received an appropriation of $13 million for fiscal year 2015. CBO
estimates that implementing S. 611 would cost $67 million over the next five years,
assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts.

Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to S. 611 because enacting it would not affect
direct spending or revenues. 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 2026.

S. 611 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).


ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

The estimated budgetary impact of S. 611 is shown in the following table. The costs of
this legislation fall within budget function 300 (natural resources and environment).
