                                     S. 1934
          Alaska Remote Generator Reliability and Protection Act

          As reported by the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works
                               on September 18, 2018


 S. 1934 would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to revise regulations
 for certain internal combustion engines used in remote areas of Alaska to allow those
 engines to emit higher levels of particulate matter compared to current standards. The bill
 also would require EPA to report to the Congress on options for the federal government
 to assist remote areas in Alaska with meeting their energy needs in an affordable and
 reliable manner.

 Using information from EPA about current activities related to emissions standards for
 those engines, CBO estimates that the costs of implementing the bill would be less than
 $500,000. That amount includes costs for personnel and contracts required to develop and
 issue a proposal, to receive and respond to public comments, to issue a final rule for the
 revision, and to produce the report required by the bill.

 Enacting S. 1934 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
 procedures do not apply.

 CBO estimates that enacting S. 1934 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
 deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

 S. 1934 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

 The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Jon Sperl. The estimate was reviewed by
 H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
