            Coordinated Ocean Monitoring and Research Act

SUMMARY

S. 1425 would reauthorize and amend the Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observation
System Act. The bill also would modify existing reporting and planning requirements
under the Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring Act. Based on
information provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
CBO estimates that implementing S. 1425 would cost $71 million over the 2018-2022
period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts.

Enacting S. 1425 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting the bill would not increase net direct
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in
2028.

S. 1425 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.

The estimated budgetary effect of S. 1425 is shown in the following table. The costs of this
legislation fall within budget function 300 (natural resources and environment).
