Dear Mr. Chairman:
As you requested, CBO has reviewed S. 1273, the Fixing Inequities with
Revenues Act of 2013, as introduced on July 10, 2013. Based on a
preliminary review, CBO estimates that enacting this legislation would
increase direct spending by approximately $6 billion over the 2015-2023
period. CBO has not completed an estimate of any discretionary costs that
would be necessary to implement S. 1273 (that is, costs that would be
subject to future appropriation), nor has CBO yet determined whether the
bill contains intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because enacting the legislation would
increase direct spending. In addition, pursuant to section 311 of the
Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2009 (S.Con.Res. 70,
110th Congress), CBO estimates that enacting the bill would increase
projected deficits by more than $5 billion in at least one of the four
consecutive 10-year periods starting in 2023.
5. 1273 would revise existing laws regarding the disposition of proceeds
from federal oil and gas leases on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and
from the development of certain onshore resources. Most of the estimated
cost of implementing this bill would result from provisions that would
accelerate and increase the amounts authorized to be spent without further
appropriation from proceeds collected under current law from certain oil
and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico. The bill also would allow new direct
spending for payments to states resulting from amounts collected from
