H.R. 1747 would  create a National Fish Habitat Board consisting of 25 members from the
federal government, state governments, private industry representatives, and other private
citizens. The board would recommend  to the Congress organizations to be designated as Fish
Habitat Partnerships. Those partnerships would be eligible to receive federal grants to
improve the health of fish and fish habitats.

H.R. 1747 would  authorize the appropriation of $7.2 million annually through 2023 for
grants to partnerships to implement conservation projects and an additional $360,000
annually through 2023 for administrative expenses.

The bill also would authorize the Department of the Interior (DOI), the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric  Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Forest Service
to provide technical and scientific assistance to any partnerships recognized under
H.R. 1747. The bill would authorize the appropriation of $2 million annually over the 2020-
2024 period for those agencies to provide such assistance.

Using historical spending patterns for similar programs and assuming appropriation of the
authorized amounts, CBO  estimates that implementing H.R. 1747 would cost $32 million
over the 2020-2024 period and $8 million after 2024. The costs of the legislation, detailed in
Table 1, fall within budget function 300 (natural resources and environment).
