                            Derivatives  Fairness  Act

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on March 21, 2018


SUMMARY

H.R. 5323 would prohibit the federal financial regulators from requiring banks to hold
capital against certain derivative contracts. Under current law, the calculation of a bank's
capital requirement includes amounts for some derivative contracts.

CBO  estimates that implementing H.R. 5323 would, on net, increase the deficit by
$2 million over the 2019-2028 period. That estimate includes an increase in direct
spending of $2 million and an increase in revenues of less than $500,000. Because
enacting the bill would increase direct spending and revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures
apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 5323 would not increase net direct spending by more
than $2.5 billion or on-budget deficits by more than $5 billion in any of the four
consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

H.R. 5323 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded  Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).


BASIS  OF  ESTIMATE

For this estimate, CBO assumes that the bill will be enacted near the end of 2018.
The budgetary effects of H.R. 5323 stem from the small chance that the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) would incur additional costs to resolve financial
institutions that fail.

This cost estimate is based on the analysis underlying projections for the FDIC's
financial resolution programs included in CBO's April 2018 baseline. Those projections
incorporate a weighted probability of different outcomes for future failures of financial
institutions. Most of those outcomes have a very small probability of occurring, but if
