  0                            COST ESTIMATE
                                                        Revised October 17, 2017



                                  H.R. 2521
                  South Carolina Peanut Parity Act of 2017

     As ordered reported by the House Committee on Agriculture on October 4, 2017


H.R. 2521 would amend the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 to include
South Carolina as part of the Virginia-Carolina peanut producing region for purposes of
appointing members to the Peanut Standards Board. That 18-member Board advises the
Secretary of Agriculture on quality and handling standards for domestically-produced and
imported peanuts.

Because the bill would not affect the number of board members or the duties of the
board, CBO estimates that including South Carolina as a part of the Virginia-Carolina
peanut producing region would have no effect on federal spending. 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. 2521 would not increase net direct spending or on-
budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 2521 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

This revised cost estimate supersedes the cost estimate for H.R. 2521 that CBO
transmitted on October 13, 2017, and makes clear that implementing the bill would not
affect the number of board members or its responsibilities. In the previous cost estimate,
CBO estimated an insignificant cost to implement the bill. CBO now estimates that
implementing the bill would have no budgetary effect.

The CBO staff contact for this cost estimate is Tiffany Arthur. The estimate was
approved by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
