H.R. 34 would direct the Department of Energy (DOE) to develop a strategic plan that
incorporates water issues into the department's research and development programs. The bill
also would require DOE to establish a committee to improve data collection and reporting on
the relationship between energy and water and to conduct annual workshops to facilitate the
exchange of information about technologies that promote the conservation and efficient use
of water and energy.

Using information from DOE, CBO estimates that the department would incur costs of
$450,000 annually for the workshops and for additional staff to manage the committee.
Based on the costs of similar plans, CBO estimates that developing the strategic plan would
cost $700,000. In total, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 34 would cost $3 million
over the 2019-2024 period; such spending would be subject to the availability of
appropriated funds.
Enacting H.R. 34 could affect direct spending by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the
Bonneville Power Administration. However, because those agencies can set their rates to
recover their costs, CBO estimates that the net change in spending would be negligible.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Janani Shankaran. The estimate was reviewed by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
