                                   S. 1292
                    HUBZone Revitalization Act of 2015

 As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship
                                on June 3, 2015


Small businesses operating in areas designated as historically underutilized business zones
(HUBZones)  are eligible for preferences when seeking contracts from the federal
government. S. 1292 would increase the number of geographic areas that would qualify as
HUBZones.  Under the bill, businesses in areas that are declared a major disaster area or
that suffered a catastrophic incident would be eligible for HUBZone benefits. Further,
areas surrounding closed military bases would be eligible for HUBZone designation for a
longer period of time.

Based on information from the Small Business Administration, the agency that operates
the HUBZone  program, CBO  estimates that implementing S. 1292 would cost less than
$500,000 over the 2016-2020 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts.
Those additional costs would be incurred to update the program's maps to encompass the
newly-eligible areas. Enacting S. 1292 would not affect direct spending or revenues;
therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

S. 1292 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform  Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Susan Willie. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
