                                     S. 1537
             Migratory Birds of the Americas Conservation Act

         As reported by the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works
                               on September 18, 2018


S. 1537 would authorize the appropriation of $6.5 million a year through 2023 for the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to provide grants for the conservation of
neotropical migratory birds. In 2018, the USFWS received appropriations totaling
$4 million to carry out that program. As shown in the following table and based on
historical spending patterns, CBO estimates that implementing S. 1537 would cost
$29 million over the 2019-2023 period, assuming appropriation of the authorized
amounts. The costs of the legislation fall within budget function 300 (natural resources
and environment).

Components may not sum to totals because of rounding.


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

CBO estimates that enacting S. 1537 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

S. 1537 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
