To provide the Congress with a comprehensive review of its work, the Congressional Budget
Office publishes quarterly reports, like this one, highlighting recent work and summarizing work
in progress.1
Recent Work
Over the past three months, CBO has provided a variety of budget and economic analyses,
fulfilling the agency's core mission of supporting the Congress during each stage of the
legislative process.
The agency has published 181 cost estimates for legislation that was reported by a committee or
that was the subject of a motion to be placed on the consensus calendar. They included an
estimate for H.R. 2471, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Public Law 117-103), which
funds the government for the remainder of fiscal year 2022. That law includes funding to address
the situation in Ukraine and provide assistance for Ukraine and other countries, and it makes
other changes that will affect direct spending and revenues. CBO also published an estimate for
H.R. 4521, the America COMPETES Act of 2022, which was estimated to increase direct
spending by about $68 billion over the 2022-2031 period. Much of that increase is the estimated
effect of incentives to manufacture semiconductors in the United States. The bill also authorizes
the appropriation of at least $335 billion over the 2022-2031 period, primarily for provisions that
involve research and manufacturing in the United States.
In addition, since its last quarterly report on work in progress, CBO has released 18 reports and
working papers; they satisfied statutory requirements, fulfilled Congressional requests, or
provided economic and budgetary analysis or technical information (see Table 1 on page 5).
Some of those publications provided analysis of the economic and budgetary situation:
CBO's Monthly Budget Review, which offers an updated snapshot of spending, revenues, and
the deficit;
An updated edition of CBO's regular report on expired and expiring authorizations, covering
legislation enacted through September 30, 2021;
A working paper on the Markov-switching model that CBO developed to analyze
unemployment; and
