H.R. 762 would designate the Department of Energy as the lead agency to coordinate and
disseminate information on existing federal programs that aim to help initiate, develop, and
finance energy efficiency, renewable energy, and retrofit projects in schools.

Using information about the cost of similar efforts, CBO estimates that implementing
H.R. 762 would cost $2 million over the 2020-2024 period. Any spending would be subject
to the availability of appropriated funds. Those costs would stem from coordinating and
collaborating among federal agencies, providing technical assistance to states, and creating
an online resource for schools. CBO estimates that the department would need three new
employees to carry out these duties, at an annual cost of about $500,000.

On September 13, 2019, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 253, the Streamlining
Energy Efficiency for Schools Act of 2019, as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on
Energy and Natural Resources on July 16, 2019. The two pieces of legislation are similar,
and CBO's estimate of their budgetary effects are the same.

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