                               H.J.  Res.  92
 A joint resolution granting the consent  and approval  of Congress  for the
 Commonwealth of Virginia, the State of Maryland, and the District of
 Columbia   to amend   the Washington   Area Transit  Regulation  Compact

    As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on June 14, 2017


H.J. Res. 92 would grant Congressional consent to amendments made to the compact
between Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia that governs transit regulation in
the Washington D.C. metro area.

The amendments would bring the compact into compliance with current federal law that
requires the Department of Transportation, rather than the General Services
Administration to appoint the federal directors to the governing body of the Washington
Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. Based on information from those agencies, CBO
estimates that implementing the changes in the compact would have no effect on the
federal budget.

Enacting H.J. Res. 92 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore,
pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.J. Res. 92 would
not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive
10-year periods beginning in 2028.

The bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal
governments.

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