                                H.R. 1486
          Taking Account of Bureaucrats' Spending Act of 2016

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on April 13, 2016


SUMMARY

Under current law, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) is permanently
authorized to spend amounts transferred from the Federal Reserve, subject to certain limits.
H.R. 1486 would change the law so that spending for the CFPB would be subject to the
annual appropriation process. The bill would authorize the appropriation of $485 million
for fiscal year 2017, the amount provided by the Federal Reserve in fiscal year 2015.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1486 would reduce direct spending by $6.6 billion over
the 2017-2026 period; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. (Enacting the bill would
not affect revenues.) CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost $485 million
over the 2017-2021 period, assuming appropriation of the specified amount.

CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits in one or more of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in
2027.

H.R. 1486 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would not affect the budgets of state, local,
or tribal governments.


ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

The estimated budgetary effect of H.R. 1486 is shown in the following table. The costs of
this legislation fall within budget function 370 (commerce and housing credit).
