                                           October 30, 2017


                                  H.R. 760
             Postal Service Financial Improvement Act of 2017

   As ordered reported by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
                               on March 16, 2017


SUMMARY

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 760 would increase direct spending for retirees of the
Postal Service (USPS) by $11.4 billion over the 2018-2022 period but would have no net
effect on direct spending over the 2018-2027 period. Under the bill funds from a
government account would be transferred to a privately operated investment fund and
later deposited back into the Treasury, including any accumulated earnings.

Pay-as-you-go procedures apply to this bill because those transfers would affect direct
spending. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.

CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct spending or on-
budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 760 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 estimated budgetary effect of H.R. 760 is shown in the following table. The costs of
this legislation fall within budget function 550 (health).
