handle is hein.congrec/concrabxi0001 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE April 13, 2009 H.R. 1256 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act As passed by the House ofRepresentatives on April 2, 2009 SUMMARY H.R. 1256 would authorize the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate tobacco products, and would require the agency to assess fees on manufacturers and importers of tobacco products to cover the cost of FDA's new regulatory activities authorized by the bill. Such fees could be collected and made available for obligation only to the extent and in the amounts provided in advance in appropriation acts. H.R. 1256 also contains provisions that affect direct spending and revenues associated with the retirement benefits of federal employees. CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimate that: * Implementing H.R. 1256 would increase spending subject to appropriation, on net, by about $0.1 billion over the 2010-2014 period and by $0.8 billion over the 2010- 2019 period, assuming annual appropriation actions consistent with the bill; * Enacting H.R. 1256 would increase direct spending by $0.4 billion over the 2010- 2014 period and by $1.1 billion over the 2010-2019 period; * Federal revenues would increase by $0.3 billion over the 2010-2014 period and by $1.3 billion over the 2010-2019 period; and * Considering both the revenue and direct spending effects, enacting H.R. 1256 would increase budget deficits by a total of $0.1 billion over the 2010-2014 period. Over the 2010-2019 period, however, enacting the legislation would reduce budget deficits by $0.2 billion. (Those amounts exclude the effects that are subject to appropriation action.)
