Deficit Effect


The bill would authorize
  * Auctions of leases for wind and mineral development off the coast of certain U.S. territories and possessions
  * Spending of a portion of the income for payments to those jurisdictions (without further appropriation) and for
     activities administered by the Coastal Reef Conservation Fund (subject to appropriation)
  * Spending to conduct auctions and study such offshore wind resources, subject to appropriation


Estimated budgetary effects would primarily stem from increasing
  * Collection of offsetting receipts from offshore energy and mineral leases
  * Spending subject to appropriation for administrative expenses related to new leasing activities and for the
     Coastal Reef Conservation Fund


Areas of significant uncertainty include
  * The technical and economic feasibility of developing offshore wind and mineral resources in the affected
     areas
  * The amounts companies would be willing to pay to for leases to develop offshore wind resources
  * The timing of auctions
