                                H.R.   1335
      Strengthening  Fishing  Communities   and  Increasing Flexibility
                       in Fisheries Management Act

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on April 30, 2014


SUMMARY

H.R. 1335 would amend and reauthorize the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management  Act (MSA) and authorize the appropriation of $1.6 billion through 2019 to
carry out that act. The bill also would require the Secretary of Commerce to request that the
National Academy of Sciences conduct a study of certain mixed-use fisheries.

CBO  estimates that implementing H.R. 1335 would cost $1.5 billion over the 2016-2020
period and $72 million after 2020, assuming appropriation of the authorized and necessary
amounts. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore,
pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

H.R. 1335 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)  and would benefit states by reauthorizing a
number of programs that support fish conservation and management activities. Any costs
states incur would result from complying with conditions of receiving federal assistance.

this legislation fall within budget functions 300 (natural resources and environment).
