                                H.R.   2565
  A  bill to require the use of replacement cost value in determining  the
  premium   rates for flood insurance coverage  under  the National  Flood
                  Insurance  Act, and  for other purposes

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on June 21, 2017


SUMMARY

H.R. 2565 would direct the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to analyze
different methods and develop a plan for incorporating the actual replacement cost of each
structure insured by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) into the premium
charged to each property owner. The bill also would require FEMA to submit the plan and
an analysis of any alternative plans it considered to the Congress. FEMA would then be
required to phase in its plan over a three-year period.

CBO  estimates that implementing H.R. 2565 would cost $15 million over the 2018-2022
period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. CBO estimates that enacting the
legislation would affect direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply.
However, those effects would not be significant. Enacting the bill would not affect
revenues.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 2565 would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 2565 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)  and would not affect the budgets of state, local,
or tribal governments.
