H.R. 692
Default Prevention Act
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Ways andMeans on September 10, 2015
H.R. 692 would allow the Department of the Treasury to issue debt to pay principal and
interest on debt held by the public and debt held by the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance
Trust Fund and Disability Insurance Trust Fund, if the statutory limit on debt is reached.
The bill would require the Treasury to provide a weekly report to the House Committee
on Ways and Means and the Senate Committee on Finance outlining the exempted
transactions until a new debt limit is enacted.
CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 692, by itself, would not affect direct spending or
revenues because it would not change any of the government's tax or spending policies.
Therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. In addition, CBO estimates that the
bill would not significantly add to the Treasury's administrative costs; any such costs
would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
H.R. 692 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Meredith Decker. This estimate was approved
by Theresa Gullo, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
