handle is hein.congrec/cbo3685 and id is 1 raw text is: ab CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE August 4, 2017 H.R. 1293 An act to amend title 5, United States Code, to require that the Office of Personnel Management submit an annual report to Congress relating to the use of official time by federal employees As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs on July 26, 2017 H.R. 1293 would require the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to provide annual reports to the Congress on the use of official time by federal employees who also serve as union officers. Official time is paid time off from assigned government duties to represent a labor union. The act would require the OPM report to include the purpose for the use of official time, the amount of compensation paid for official time, and the locations where the official time duty occurs. OPM collects some information on the use of official time. CBO expects that information currently collected would be combined with other aggregate and estimated information to prepare the report for the Congress. Thus, CBO estimates that any additional costs would be less than $500,000 annually; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Enacting H.R. 1293 could affect direct spending by agencies not funded through annual appropriations; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. CBO estimates, however, that any net increase in spending by those agencies would be negligible. Enacting the legislation would not affect revenues. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1293 would not increase net direct spending or on- budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028. H.R. 1293 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.
