H.R. 1306 would extend the deadline for completing certain activities required under the
Disaster Recovery Reform Act. The bill also would require the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) to convene a working group with other federal agencies to
improve preliminary damage assessments following disasters. Specifically, the bill would
direct the working group to identify potential areas of duplication, determine the feasibility
of having one federal agency make damage assessments for all agencies, and identify new
areas for the use of technology. The bill would require the working group to post a report on
FEMA' s website and brief the Congress on its findings.

Using information from FEMA about the cost of similar reports, CBO estimates that
implementing the additional requirements in the bill would cost less than $500,000 over the
2019-2024 period.

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