S. 1254
Harmful Algal Blooms and Hypoxia Research
and Control Amendments Act of 2014
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology
on May 21, 2014
SUMMARY
S. 1254 would reauthorize and modify the Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research
and Control Act of 1998. The act would authorize the appropriation of $20.5 million
annually through 2018 period for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) to mitigate the harmful effects of algal blooms and hypoxia (reduced oxygen
level) in certain bodies of water.
Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing the
legislation would cost $78 million over the 2015-2019 period and $4 million after 2019.
Enacting S. 1254 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.
S. 1254 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The estimated budgetary impact of S. 1254 is shown in the following table. The costs of
this legislation fall within budget function 300 (natural resources and environment).
