H.R. 3115  would authorize the appropriation of $50 million a year over the 2020-2025
period for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to make  grants to state and
local governments, nonprofit organizations, and Indian tribes to design and implement
projects that restore or stabilize shorelines. Such projects would use natural materials to
create buffers to lessen shoreline erosion by minimizing the impact of storms, currents, and
flooding.

Using historical spending patterns for similar grant programs, CBO estimates that
implementing  H.R. 3115  would cost $175 million over the 2020-2024 period and
$125 million after 2024, assuming the appropriation of the authorized amounts. The costs of
the legislation, detailed in Table 1, fall within budget function 300 (natural resources and
environment).
