Re: Cost estimate for the manager's amendment to H.R. 10, the Financial
    CHOICE   Act, as posted on the website of the House Committee on Rules
    on May  26, 2017.

Dear Mr. Chairman:

As you requested, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has reviewed the
manager's amendment  for H.R. 10, the Financial CHOICE Act. CBO's estimate
of the budgetary effects of enacting the amended bill are included in the enclosed
table.

CBO  and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation estimate that changes in
direct spending and revenues from enacting the manager's amendment would
reduce budget deficits by $33.6 billion over the 2017-2027 period. That estimate
of reduced deficits is $9.5 billion more than the estimated amount of deficit
reduction under H.R. 10 as ordered reported by the House Committee on
Financial Services on May 4, 2017. The amendment's savings are composed of a
reduction in direct spending of $30.8 billion and an increase in revenues of
$2.8 billion. Most of that budgetary savings would come from eliminating the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's authority to use the Orderly Liquidation
Fund and changing how  the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and certain
other financial regulators are funded. CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 10
also would cost $11.6 billion over the 2017-2027 period, subject to appropriation
of the necessary amounts.

Enacting the amendment would  not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

CBO's  previous cost estimate of H.R. 10 explains the basis for most of the
budgetary effects of the manager's amendment as well. 1

    effects of the major provisions of the Financial CHOICE Act.
