       Surface Transportation Board Reauthorization Act of 2015

                              on March 25, 2015


SUMMARY

S. 808 would authorize appropriations for the programs of the Surface Transportation
Board (STB), establish the STB as a government agency independent of the Department of
Transportation (DOT), and authorize other changes in the agency's operations. Based on
information from the STB, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost
$198 million over the 2016-2020 period, assuming the appropriation of the amounts
authorized and estimated to be necessary.

Enacting S. 808 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.

S. 808 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would not affect the budgets of state, local,
or tribal governments.


ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

The estimated budgetary effect of S. 808 is shown in the following table. The costs of this
legislation fall within budget function 400 (transportation).
