handle is hein.congrec/cbombfho0001 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE U COST ESTIMATE September 20, 2018 H.R. 6013 Migratory Bird Framework and Hunting Opportunities for Veterans Act As ordered reported House Committee on Natural Resources on September 5, 2018 H.R. 6013 would amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to establish January 31 of each year as the federal closing date for duck hunting season. The bill also would direct the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), which issues annual duck hunting regulations, to allow states to establish special hunting days outside of the regular season for youth, veterans, and members of the armed forces. Using information from the USFWS, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would have no significant effect on spending subject to appropriation. Enacting H.R. 6013 could affect direct spending and revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. CBO expects that adding hunting days could increase the sales of federal duck stamps; those collections are recorded in the budget as revenues, deposited in the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund, and later spent without further appropriation action. CBO estimates that any additional revenues would not be significant in any year and would be offset by subsequent direct spending; thus, the net effect on the deficit would be negligible. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 6013 would not significantly increase net direct spending and would not increase on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10- year periods beginning in 2029. H.R. 6013 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. The CBO staff contacts for this estimate are Janani Shankaran (for spending) and Nathaniel Frentz (for revenues). The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
