H.R. 1558, Repeatedly Flooded Communities Preparation Act 1 (August 9, 2017)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo3677 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE August 9, 2017 H.R. 1558 Repeatedly Flooded Communities Preparation Act As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on June 21, 2017 SUMMARY The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides flood insurance coverage to property owners through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Property owners who buy coverage through the NFIP pay annual premiums, which are credited to the National Flood Insurance Fund and used to pay flood damage claims submitted by policyholders. Those collections and payments are not subject to annual appropriation. H.R. 1558 would direct FEMA to require certain communities that participate in the NFIP to implement community-wide plans for flood mitigation. H.R. 1558 also would require FEMA to allow certain NFIP policyholders to pay their annual premiums in monthly installments. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would have no significant effect on spending subject to appropriation in any year. Enacting H.R. 1558 would affect direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO estimates that, on net, those effects would not be significant. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1558 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. 1558 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 costs of this legislation fall within budget function 450 (community and regional development). Enacting the bill could affect claims and premiums but any such effects would be offset by changes in collections or costs, so that the net effect would not be significant.
