                      Investing in Main   Street Act of 2017

         As reported by the House Committee on Small Business on July 12, 2017


 Under current law, federally insured banks and federal savings associations may invest up
 to 5 percent of their capital and surplus in Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs).
 Such companies are privately owned and managed investment funds, licensed and
 regulated by the Small Business Administration (SBA), that use debt guaranteed by the
 SBA  and private capital to make investments in qualifying small businesses. H.R. 2364
 would raise the allowable amount to 15 percent, subject to the approval of the appropriate
 federal banking agency. Based on information from the SBA, CBO estimates that
 implementing the bill would have no significant effect on the administrative costs of
 operating the SBIC program because of the limited number of banks that would probably
 be affected.

 Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because enacting the bill would increase direct spending
 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the
 Currency and reduce revenues remitted by the Federal Reserve to cover administrative
 costs of approving proposed investments that exceed 5 percent of certain bank or savings
 associations' capital and surplus. However, CBO estimates that any such costs and revenue
 loss would be insignificant.

 CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 2364 would not significantly increase net direct
 spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in
 2028.

 H.R. 2364 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded Mandates  Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
 governments.

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