handle is hein.congrec/cbo2147 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE Revised March 16, 2015 H.R. 647 Access to Life-Saving Trauma Care for All Americans Act As ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on February 12, 2015 SUMMARY H.R. 647 would amend the Public Health Service Act to authorize funding for grant programs that support trauma care centers and trauma service availability. The bill also would clarify that public, nonprofit, Indian Health Service, Indian tribal, and urban Indian trauma centers are eligible to receive grants, and would change the administration of those grant programs to be the responsibility of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response. The bill would authorize the appropriation of $200 million a year for each of fiscal years 2016 through 2020 for the two grant programs. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost $802 million over the 2016-2020 period, assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues. H.R. 647 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT For this estimate, CBO assumes that H.R. 647 will be enacted by the start of fiscal year 2016, the Congress will appropriate the authorized amounts for each year, and spending will follow historical patterns for similar programs. The estimated budgetary effects of H.R. 647 are shown in the following table. The costs of this legislation fall within budget function 550 (health).
