S. 2206, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Sexual Harassment and Assault Prevention Act 1 (June 29, 2016)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo3026 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE June 29, 2016 S. 2206 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Sexual Harassment and Assault Prevention Act As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation on November 18, 2015 SUMMARY S. 2206 would authorize the appropriation of $183 million a year through 2020 for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to conduct certain hydrographic activities (the measurement and description of features that affect maritime navigation). The bill also would require NOAA to take actions aimed at reducing sexual harassment within the agency. Finally, the bill would modify personnel policies for the agency's commissioned officer corps. Based on information provided by NOAA and assuming appropriation of the authorized and necessary amounts, CBO estimates that implementing S. 2206 would cost $728 million over the 2017-2021 period and $32 million after 2021. Because enacting the legislation would affect direct spending and revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures apply; however, CBO estimates that any such effects would be insignificant. CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027. The bill would impose intergovernmental and private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). CBO estimates that the aggregate cost of complying with the mandates would fall below the annual thresholds established in UMRA for intergovernmental and private-sector mandates ($77 million and $154 million in 2016, respectively, adjusted annually for inflation). ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The estimated budgetary effect of S. 2206 is shown in the following table. The costs of this legislation fall within budget function 300 (natural resources and environment).
