Dear Mr. Chairman:
As you requested, the Congressional Budget Office has prepared the following cost
estimate for H.R. 3409, the Coal Miner Employment and Domestic Energy Infrastructure
Protection Act, as posted on the Web site of the House Committee on Rules (Committee
Print 112-32). CBO estimates that implementing the bill would reduce future
discretionary spending by $245 million over the 2013-2017 period, assuming that
appropriations in those years were reduced accordingly. Such reductions would primarily
stem from prohibiting the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from regulating
greenhouse gases.
By Fiscal Year, in Millions of Dollars
2013-
2013     2014    2015     2016    2017     2017
CHANGES IN SPENDING SUBJECT TO APPROPRIATION
Estimated Authorization Level  -53      -58      -59     -60      -61    -291
Estimated Outlays              -18      -49      -59     -59      -60    -245
H.R. 3409 contains intergovernmental mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act (UMRA) by expanding an existing preemption of state laws that regulate
greenhouse gases from motor vehicles and requiring states to notify EPA whether they
will adopt and implement a permit program for coal combustion residuals (CCR).
Although the preemption would limit the application of state law, CBO estimates that it
would impose no duty on state governments that would result in additional spending.
