                                H.R. 4906
  A bill to amend title 5, United States Code, to clarify the eligibility of
  employees of a land management agency in a time limited appointment
  to compete for a permanent appointment at any Federal agency, and
                             for other purposes

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
                               on April 14, 2016


H.R. 4906 would amend federal law to allow individuals serving as temporary employees
of federal land management agencies to compete for permanent positions with any
agency under internal procedures for merit promotions. Under current law those
temporary employees can compete for permanent positions at federal land management
agencies but they cannot apply using procedures for merit promotions.

Information from the Office of Personnel Management indicates that while the legislation
would expand the pool of people eligible to be hired, it would not change the total
number of jobs available or the salaries paid to employees. On that basis, CBO estimates
that implementing the legislation would have no effect on the federal budget. Because
enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures
do not apply.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 4906 would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

H.R. 4906 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 Papensfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
