                                   H.R.   4607
                    Comprehensive Regulatory Review Act

           As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services
                                on January 18, 2018


 Once every 10 years, four federal banking agencies review all the regulations that they
 have issued and identify outdated or unnecessary regulatory requirements on banks and
 credit unions. H.R. 4607 would require those agencies and the Consumer Financial
 Protection Bureau (CFPB) to complete that review more frequently-once every 7 years.
 The bill also would increase the scope of the required regulatory review to include
 requirements imposed on individual people or on companies that offer consumer
 financial products or services. The agencies would be required to tailor regulations to
 reduce the burden on such entities.

 Using information from the affected agencies, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 4607
 would increase direct spending by $3 million over the 2018-2027 period for the CFPB to
 hire three additional employees to conduct the required reviews and analyses. The CFPB
 is permanently authorized to spend amounts transferred from the Federal Reserve.

 In addition, CBO estimates that enacting those provisions would increase costs for the
 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency,
 and the National Credit Union Administration to complete additional analyses and to do
 so more frequently. Costs incurred by those agencies are recorded in the budget as
 increases in direct spending, but they are authorized to collect premiums and fees from
 the financial institutions they regulate to cover such administrative expenses. Thus, CBO
 estimates that enacting H.R. 4607 would have no significant net effect on direct spending
 over the 2018-2027 period.

 Costs incurred by the Federal Reserve System for the same purposes would reduce
 remittances to the Treasury, which are recorded in the budget as revenues. CBO estimates
 that enacting H.R. 4607 would decrease revenues by less than $500,000 over the 2018-
 2027 period.

 Because H.R. 4607 would affect direct spending and revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures
 apply.
