                                   S.764
     National Sea Grant College Program Amendments Act of 2015

As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
                              on March 25, 2015


SUMMARY

S. 764 would authorize appropriations totaling $544 million over the 2016-2021 period
for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to carry out the
National Sea Grant College Program, which funds scientific research, education, and
public outreach at certain universities related to marine issues. In addition, under the bill
the program would provide funds for marine policy fellowships.

Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing the
legislation would cost $397 million over the 2016-2020 period and $147 million after
2020. Because enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues, pay-
as-you-go procedures do not apply.

S. 764 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA), and would impose no costs on state, local, or
tribal governments.

The estimated budgetary impact of S. 764 is shown in the following table. The costs of
this legislation fall within budget function 300 (natural resources and environment).
