                                   S. 3088
    A bill to provide a deadline for compliance with an alternate safety
                compliance program and for other purposes

         As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science,
                        and Transportation on June 29, 2016


S. 3088 would delay, for at least three years, the deadline for complying with certain safety
requirements related to commercial fishing vessels. The bill would require the Coast
Guard, the agency primarily responsible for administering laws and regulations related to
maritime safety, to improve coordination and outreach and complete other administrative
tasks related to those safety requirements.

CBO estimates that enacting S. 3088 would have no significant effect on the federal
budget. Based on information from the Coast Guard about the anticipated administrative
costs of increased outreach efforts and reporting requirements, CBO estimates that any
increased spending under the bill (which would be subject to appropriation) would not
exceed $500,000 in any year. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or
revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

CBO estimates that enacting S. 3088 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

S. 3088 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 Megan Carroll. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
