Dear Mr. Chairman: As you requested, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has reviewed S. 2579, the Drinking Water Safety and Infrastructure Act, as introduced on February 24, 2016. CBO's estimate of the direct spending and revenue effects of enacting the bill is included in the enclosed tables. S. 2579 is similar to Senate amendment 3323 to H.R. 4470 and the estimated budgetary impacts are the same. S. 2579 would appropriate $170 million for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide grants to eligible states and to make loans under the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Program to eligible entities for water infrastructure projects. The bill also would appropriate $50 million for a lead exposure registry and three children's health programs related to lead exposure. Finally, beginning in fiscal year 2021, S. 2579 would prohibit further spending by the Department of Energy of certain balances available to cover the subsidy costs of loans issued through the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing (ATVM) Loan Program. CBO and staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimate that over the 2016-2026 period enacting S. 2579 would: * Increase direct spending for water infrastructure and outreach activities related to lead exposure by $220 million; e Reduce direct spending for the ATVM program by $300 million;
