S. 2282, North American Wetlands Conservation Extension Act of 2012 1 (July 31, 2012)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo10847 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE July 31, 2012 S. 2282 North American Wetlands Conservation Extension Act of 2012 As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works on July 25, 2012 SUMMARY S. 2282 would authorize the appropriation of $75 million a year through 2017 for programs carried out under the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA). Under current law, the authority for such appropriations will expire at the end of fiscal year 2012. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) uses amounts appropriated under NAWCA primarily for grants to state, local, and tribal governments, nonprofit organizations, and other entities that carry out wetlands conservation projects. Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would cost $263 million over the 2013-2017 period and $112 million after 2017. Enacting S. 2282 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as- you-go procedures do not apply. S. 2282 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments. ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The estimated budgetary impact of S. 2282 is shown in the following table. The costs of this legislation fall within budget function 300 (natural resources and environment). For this estimate, CBO assumes that the bill will be enacted in 2012 and that the authorized amounts will be appropriated for each fiscal year. Estimated outlays are based on historical spending patterns for this program.
