      Maritime Administration Authorization and Enhancement Act
                            for Fiscal Year 2017

                     As passed by the Senate on June 29, 2016


SUMMARY

S. 2829 would reauthorize programs administered by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Maritime Administration (MARAD). The
act would require those agencies to establish certain personnel-related policies, particularly
to prevent sexual harassment and assault within those agencies and related institutions, and
make a variety of other changes to federal policies and regulations related to maritime
programs and related activities. Assuming appropriation of the authorized and estimated
amounts, CBO estimates that implementing S. 2829 would cost $944 million over the
2017-2021 period.

Enacting the legislation would affect direct spending and revenues; therefore,
pay-as-you-go procedures apply. CBO estimates, however, that any such effects would be
insignificant in any given year. CBO estimates that enacting S. 2829 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2027.

S. 2829 would impose intergovernmental and private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). CBO estimates that the costs of those 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. 2829 is shown in the following table. The costs of this
legislation fall within budget function 300 (natural resources and environment) and 400
(transportation).
