                                   H.R.   477
              Small  Business  Mergers,   Acquisitions, Sales, and
                     Brokerage   Simplification  Act of 2017

 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on October 12, 2017


 H.R. 477 would exempt certain brokers that perform transactions related to ownership
 transfers of eligible privately held companies from the requirement to register with the
 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

 Using information from the SEC, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 477 would cost
 less than $500,000 for the agency to clarify the applicability of regulations regarding
 registration requirements for brokers of mergers and acquisitions. Moreover, the SEC is
 authorized to collect fees sufficient to offset its annual appropriation; therefore, assuming
 appropriation actions consistent with that authority, CBO estimates that the net effect of
 the bill on discretionary spending would be negligible.

 Enacting H.R. 477 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
 procedures do not apply.

 CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 477 would not increase net direct spending or on-
 budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

 H.R. 477 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded Mandates  Reform Act.

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