           Family  Smoking   Prevention   and Tobacco   Control  Act

SUMMARY

S. 982 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 fully 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.

CBO  estimates that implementing S. 982 would:

   *  Reduce spending subject to appropriation, on net, by $149 million over the 2010-
      2014 period and by $70 million over the 2010-2019 period, assuming annual
      appropriation actions consistent with the bill;

   *  Reduce direct spending by $19 million over the 2010-2014 period and by
      $93 million over the 2010-2019 period; and

    *  Reduce federal revenues, on net, by $210 million over the 2010-2014 period and
       by $984 million over the 2010-2019 period.

Considering both the direct spending and revenue effects, CBO estimates that enacting
S. 982 would increase budget deficits by approximately $0.2 billion over the 2010-2014
period and $0.9 billion over the 2010-2019 period. (Those amounts exclude the effects
that are subject to appropriation action.)

Pursuant to section 311 of S. Con. Res. 70 (11 0 Congress), CBO attempts to evaluate
whether legislation under consideration by the Senate would cause a net increase in
deficits in excess of $5 billion in any of the four 10-year periods beginning after fiscal
year 2019. In this case, because of the uncertainties involved in estimating the effects of a
