H.R. 4435, the Howard P. "Buck" McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 1 (May 16, 2014)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo1672 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ab COST ESTIMATE May 16, 2014 H.R. 4435 Howard P. Buck McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 As reported by the House Committee on Armed Services on May 13, 2014 SUMMARY H.R. 4435 would authorize appropriations totaling $594 billion for fiscal year 2015 for the military functions of the Department of Defense (DoD), for certain activities of the Department of Energy (DOE), and for other purposes. That total includes $79 billion for the cost of overseas contingency operations, primarily in Afghanistan. In addition, H.R. 4435 would prescribe personnel strengths for each active-duty and selected-reserve component of the U.S. armed forces. CBO estimates that appropriation of the authorized amounts would result in outlays of $581 billion over the 2015-2019 period. The bill also contains provisions that would increase or decrease the costs of defense programs funded through discretionary appropriations in 2016 and future years. Those implicit authorizations would affect force structure, DoD compensation and benefits, and other programs and activities. CBO has analyzed the costs of a select number of those authorizations and estimates that they would, on a net basis, lower the amount of appropriations needed to implement defense programs relative to current law by about $29 billion over the 2016-2019 period. The effects of those reductions are not included in the total amount of outlays in the previous paragraph because funding for those activities would be covered by specific authorizations in future years. In addition, H.R. 4435 contains provisions that would affect direct spending. CBO estimates that, on net, those provisions would decrease direct spending by $35 million over the 2015-2019 period, but increase such spending by $1 million over the 20 15-2024 period. Because enacting the legislation would affect direct spending, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues. The bill would impose an intergovernmental mandate as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) by preempting state laws governing child custody in some cases. Although the mandate would limit the application of state laws, it would impose no duty on states that would result in additional spending. Therefore, CBO
