SUMMARY

S. 1057 would reauthorize and modify the Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research
and Control Act of 1998. The bill would authorize the appropriation of $110 million over
the 2019-2023 period for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
to mitigate the harmful effects of algal blooms and hypoxia (reduced oxygen level) in
certain bodies of water.

Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing the
legislation would cost $76 million over the 2018-2022 period and $33 million after 2022.
Enacting S. 1057 could affect direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply.
However, CBO  estimates that the net effect would be negligible. Enacting the bill would
not affect revenues.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 1057 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

S. 1057 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.
