SUMMARY

S. 3143 would establish an office and a program to advance research in quantum
information science and technology applications. The bill would authorize appropriations
for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Science
Foundation (NSF) to carry out related activities. CBO estimates that implementing
S. 3143 would cost $450 million over the 2019-2023 period, assuming appropriation of
the authorized and necessary amounts.

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

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 3143 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

S. 3143 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).


ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

The estimated budgetary effect of S. 3143 is shown in the following table. The costs of
the legislation fall within budget functions 250 (science, space, and technology) and
370 (commerce and housing credit).
