Re: The Budgetary Impact of H.R. 3611

Dear Mr. Chairman:

As you requested, and pursuant to section 3105 of S. Con. Res 11, the
Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2016, the
Congressional Budget Office is providing two estimates of the costs of
reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank through 2019 under H.R. 3611, the
Export-Import Bank Reform  and Reauthorization Act of 2015. One
estimate is based on procedures currently used in the federal budget as
prescribed by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (FCRA). The other
estimate is based on the market value of the federal government's
obligations, often termed a fair-value estimate.

Enacting H.R. 3611 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore,
pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting
H.R. 3611 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in
any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2026.

Estimate on a FCRA   Basis
On a FCRA  basis, CBO estimates that reauthorizing the Export-Import
Bank beginning on December  1, 2015, would reduce spending subject to
appropriation by $2.3 billion over the 2016-2020 period, assuming annual
appropriation action consistent with such a reauthorization. That estimate
reflects the bank's recent experience; it comprises the budgetary effect of
new loans and guarantees issued by the bank (a reduction in discretionary
spending totaling $2.6 billion over the 2016-2020 period) and additional
administrative costs associated with those new commitments (totaling
$0.3 billion over that same period).
