                                   S. 2964
                    GAO   Mandates   Revision  Act  of 2016

         As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security
                    and Governmental Affairs on May 25, 2016


The Congress often requires that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) perform an
annual examination of a program, agency, or other federal activity. S. 2964 would modify
or repeal 10 of those activities.

Based on information from GAO, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would
reduce discretionary costs by about $1 million over the 2017-2021 period; any such
reductions would be subject to future appropriations actions consistent with the provisions
of this bill. GAO has an annual budget of more than $500 million and prepares hundreds of
products for the Congress each year. CBO expects that implementing S. 2964 would not
have a significant effect on the agency's overall workload.

Enacting S. 2964 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting S. 2964 would not increase direct
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in
2027.

S. 2964 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.
