               Supporting   America's   Innovators  Act  of 2016

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on June 16, 2016


Under current law, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) exempts certain
issuers of securities from the requirement to register as an investment company. H.R. 4854
would expand that exemption to include a broader set of issuers.

On the basis of information from the SEC about the level of effort needed to implement the
changes in the bill, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 4854 would have no significant
effect on the agency's costs or operations, because only a relatively small number of
companies could qualify for the broader exemption. Moreover, the SEC is authorized to
collect fees sufficient to offset its annual appropriation; therefore, CBO estimates that the
net effect on discretionary spending would be negligible, assuming appropriations actions
consistent with that authority. Enacting H.R. 4854 would not affect direct spending or
revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 4854 would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

H.R. 4854 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 Stephen Rabent. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
