                                H.R. 4392
      A bill to amend title 5, United States Code, to require that the
        Office of Personnel Management submit an annual report
   to Congress relating to the use of official time by federal employees

   As ordered reported by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
                               on March 1, 2016


H.R. 4392 would require the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to provide annual
reports to the Congress on the use of official time by federal employees who also serve as
union officers. Official time is paid time off from assigned government duties to
represent a labor union.

CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would have no significant effect on the
federal budget because most of the information needed for the reports required under the
bill is currently collected. Because the legislation could affect direct spending by
agencies not funded through annual appropriations, pay-as-you-go procedures apply.
CBO estimates, however, that any net increase in spending by those agencies would be
negligible. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 4392 would not increase net direct spending or on-
budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

H.R. 4392 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Matthew Pickford. The estimate was approved
by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
