              Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Act of 2016

SUMMARY

S. 1024 would authorize the appropriation of $1.5 billion over the 2017-2021 period for the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative,
a program that funds projects targeting invasive aquatic species and nonpoint source
pollution. The program received an appropriation of $300 million for fiscal year 2016.

CBO estimates that implementing S. 1024 would cost $1.35 billion over the next five
years, assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts.

Enacting S. 1024 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting S. 1024 would not increase net direct
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in
2027.

S. 1024 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or
tribal governments.
