                                 H.R. 5707
             Postal Service Financial Improvement Act of 2016

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
                                on July 12, 2016


SUMMARY

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5707 would cost about $4.4 billion over the 2017-2026
period because funds from a government account would be transferred to a privately
operated investment fund. Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because that transfer would
increase direct spending. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.

CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits by more than $5 billion in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2027.

H.R. 5707 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or
tribal governments.
