                                   H.R.   6206
            Coast  Guard   Blue Technology Center of Expertise Act

     As ordered reported by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
                                  on June 27, 2018


 Under current law, the Coast Guard (USCG) operates several centers of expertise, often
 under agreements with educational institutions, to provide technical assistance on a range
 of issues related to maritime safety. H.R. 6206 would direct the Coast Guard to establish
 a new center to promote the use of new maritime technologies related to activities
 including surveillance and monitoring, search and rescue, emergency response, and law
 enforcement.

 Using information from the USCG, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 6206 would
 not significantly affect the federal budget. Because the USCG's existing Research and
 Development  Center is already pursuing activities similar to those that the proposed
 center would perform, CBO expects that any increases in the agency's costs-which
 would be subject to appropriation-would not exceed $500,000 in any year (In 2018 the
 USCG   allocated about $5 million in appropriated funds to those similar efforts.)

 Enacting H.R. 6206 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-
 go procedures do not apply.

 CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 6206 would not increase net direct spending or on-
 budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

 H.R. 6206 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded Mandates  Reform Act.

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