         Promise for Antibiotics and Therapeutics for Health Act

    As reported by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions

SUMMARY

S. 185 would require the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to establish a program to
approve certain antibacterial drugs for a limited population of patients with unmet needs.
The bill also would require FDA to study the effectiveness of the new program. CBO
estimates that implementing S. 185 would cost $27 million over the 2017-2021 period,
assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply
because enacting S. 185 would not affect direct spending or revenues.

CBO estimates that enacting S. 185 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

S. 185 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).


ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

The estimated budgetary effect of S. 185 is shown in the following table. The costs of this
legislation fall within budget function 550 (health).
