                                  H.R.   2775
                      Employee   Privacy   Protection  Act

     As ordered reported by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce
                                 on June 29, 2017


H.R. 2775 would amend  the National Labor Relations Act to require the National Labor
Relations Board wait at least seven days after the board has issued its final determination
on a petition for collective bargaining representation before obtaining from an employer a
list of employees who are eligible to vote in an election for such representation. CBO
estimates that enacting H.R. 2775 would not affect the federal budget.

Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2775 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 mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act (UMRA)   and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.

The bill would impose a private-sector mandate as defined in UMRA by requiring
employers to obtain, in writing, their employees' preferred method of being contacted by
union representatives. The bill would allow employees to choose what type of personal
contact information (telephone number, email address, or mailing address) to share with
union organizers seeking to establish a union in their workplace. Because complying with
the mandate would only entail a small change relative to current requirements, CBO
estimates that the aggregate cost of the mandate would fall well below the annual threshold
established in UMRA for private-sector mandates ($156 million, in 2017, adjusted
annually for inflation).

The CBO  staff contacts for this estimate are Christina Hawley Anthony (for federal costs)
and Logan Smith (for private-sector mandates). The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
