H.R. 981
RARE Act of 2013
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on May 15, 2013
SUMMARY
H.R. 981 would authorize the appropriation of $10 million for the United States Geological
Survey (USGS) to conduct a global assessment of rare earth elements (a group of elements
that are rarely found in high concentrations). Assuming appropriation of the authorized
amounts, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would cost $10 million over the
2014-2016 period.
Enacting H.R. 981 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.
H.R. 981 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 impact of H.R. 981 is shown in the following table. The costs of
