                                      S. 3553
                             Small  Business  ACE   Act

       As reported by the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship
                                 on October 11, 2018


 Under current law, small businesses that receive loans under the Small Business
 Administration's (SBA's) 504/Certified Development Company Loan program are
 required to receive an appraisal on commercial real property used as collateral in securing
 those loans if the estimated value of the property is $250,000 or greater. S. 3553 would
 raise that threshold to the lowest of the thresholds used by the Board of Governors of the
 Federal Reserve System, the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit
 Insurance Corporation to determine when a commercial real estate transaction requires an
 appraisal. The threshold for all three agencies is currently $500,000.

 Using information from the SBA on the costs of similar activities, CBO estimates that
 implementing the bill would cost less than $500,000 for the agency to update its program
 rules; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. CBO also
 estimates that any change in the subsidy cost of SBA loans, which is subject to
 appropriation, would also be insignificant.

 Enacting S. 3553 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
 procedures do not apply.

 CBO  estimates that enacting S. 3553 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
 deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

 S. 3553 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded  Mandates Reform Act.

 On August  13, 2018, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 6348, the Small Business
 ACE  Act, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Small Business on July 18,
 2018. The two pieces of legislation are similar and CBO's estimates of their budgetary
 effects is the same.

 The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Stephen Rabent. The estimate was reviewed by
 H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
