                                   H.R.   2603
                                   SAVES Act

            As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources
                                 on October 4, 2017


 H.R. 2603 would prevent the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) from treating non-
 native species as threated or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). That
 change would eliminate certain permitting requirements under the ESA related to the
 handling of those species. Based on an analysis of information provided by USFWS,
 CBO  estimates that implementing the bill would have no significant effect on the federal
 budget.

 Enacting H.R. 2603 would reduce offsetting receipts, which are treated as reductions in
 direct spending, from fees for permits issued under the ESA related to the handling of
 non-native species; those fees can be subsequently spent without appropriation action.
 Because enacting the bill would affect direct spending, pay-as-you-go procedures apply.
 However, CBO  estimates that the net effect on direct spending would be negligible.
 Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.

 CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 2603 would not increase net direct spending or on-
 budget deficits by more than $2.5 billion in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
 beginning in 2028.

 H.R. 2603 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded Mandates  Reform Act.

 The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Jeff LaFave. The estimate was approved by
 H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
