                                H.R. 5977
        A bill to direct the Secretary of Transportation to provide
   to the appropriate committees of Congress advance notice of certain
                  announcements, and for other purposes

   As ordered reported by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
                            on September 14, 2016


H.R. 5977 would require the Department of Transportation (DOT) to notify certain
Congressional committees at least three days before announcing the award of certain funds
to grantees. Under current practice, DOT already informs other committees of Congress
about such grants and awards. As a result, CBO estimates that any additional
communications costs incurred by the department would not be significant.

Enacting H.R. 5977 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5977 would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

H.R. 5977 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 Sarah Puro. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
