                                H.R.   1117
      A  bill to require the Administrator  of the Federal Emergency
      Management   Agency   to submit a report  regarding  certain plans
  regarding  assistance to applicants and  grantees during  the response  to
                         an  emergency   or disaster

           As ordered reported by the House Committee on Transportation
                     and Infrastructure on February 28, 2017


H.R. 1117 would require the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to submit
a report to the Congress on the agency's plans to provide consistent and accurate guidance
and assistance to applicants for disaster funding. The bill also would require FEMA to
include in the report a plan to effectively maintain records related to disaster funding and to
identify technologies that would assist individuals, organizations, and communities when
recovering from major disasters.

Based on information provided by FEMA, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1117
would cost less than $500,000 in 2018; such spending would be subject to the availability
of appropriated funds.

Enacting H.R. 1117 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1117 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2028.

H.R. 1117 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal
governments.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Robert Reese. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
