H.R. 925 would  authorize the appropriation of $60 million annually over the 2020-2024
period for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to carry out the North American
Wetlands  Conservation Act. Under that act, USFWS  awards  competitive grants for projects
to conserve wetlands in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In 2019, the agency received
an appropriation of $42 million to carry out those activities.

Assuming  appropriation of the authorized amounts, and based on historical spending patterns
for the program, CBO  estimates that implementing H.R. 925 would  cost $195 million over
the 2020-2024  period and $105 million after 2024.

The costs of the legislation (detailed in Table 1) fall within budget function 300 (natural
resources and environment).
