             Financial Stability Oversight  Council  Reform   Act

As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on November 4, 2015


SUMMARY

Under current law, the Financial Research Fund (FRF) is permanently authorized to pay,
without further appropriation, the operating costs of the Financial Stability Oversight
Council (FSOC), the Office of Financial Research (OFR), as well as certain expenses of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation from assessments on certain bank holding
companies and nonbank financial companies. H.R. 3340 would change the law so that
spending from the FRF would be subject to the annual appropriations process. The bill also
would direct FSOC to prepare financial reports that would be submitted to the Congress
each quarter and allow the public to comment on FSOC's proposed rules and reports.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 3340 would reduce direct spending by $1.3 billion over
the 2016-2025 period; therefore pay-as-you-go procedures apply. (Enacting the bill would
not affect revenues.) CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost the same
amount over that period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts.

CBO  estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2026.

H.R. 3340 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.

this legislation fall within budget function 370 (commerce and housing credit).
