                                H.R.   2085
        A  bill to approve an agreement   between  the United  States
            and  the Republic  of Palau, and  for other purposes

         As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources
                               on April 27, 2017


SUMMARY

H.R. 2085 would change and approve the agreement and appendices signed between the
United States and the Republic of Palau on September 3, 2010, in connection with the
Compact of Free Association between the two nations. The compact, agreements, and
appendices that were approved in 1994 govern the political, economic, and military
relationships between the United States and Palau.

CBO  estimates that enacting the bill would increase direct spending by $156 million over
the 2018-2027 period. Because enacting the bill would affect direct spending,
pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues. CBO also
estimates that if appropriated funds are provided, continuing federal services in Palau
would cost $108 million over the 2018-2022 period.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 2085 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 2028.

H.R. 2085 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.


ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

The estimated budgetary effect of H.R. 2085 is shown in the following table. The costs of
this legislation fall within all budget functions that provide services to Palau.
