1 H.R. 4792, Small Business Access to Capital after a Natural Disaster Act [i] (January 26, 2018)

handle is hein.congrec/smbucpnd0001 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE C COST ESTIMATE January 26, 2018 H.R. 4792 Small Business Access to Capital After a Natural Disaster Act As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on January 18, 2018 H.R. 4792 would expand the functions of the Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation within the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to include identifying problems that small businesses affected by hurricanes or other natural disasters experience when trying to secure access to capital. The office would be required to summarize any issues identified in an existing annual report. Using information from the SEC, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 4792 would cost less than $500,000 over the 2018-2022 period for the agency to broaden the scope of its current activities. Moreover, the SEC is authorized to collect fees sufficient to offset its annual appropriation; therefore, CBO estimates that the net effect on discretionary spending would be negligible, assuming appropriation actions consistent with that authority. Enacting H.R. 4792 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you- go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 4792 would not increase net direct spending or on- budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028. H.R. 4792 contains no intergovernmental mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). If the SEC increases fees to offset the costs associated with implementing the bill, H.R. 4792 would increase the cost of an existing mandate on private entities required to pay those assessments. CBO estimates that the incremental cost of the mandate would be small and would fall well below the annual threshold for private-sector mandates established in UMRA ($156 million in 2017, adjusted annually for inflation). The CBO staff contacts for this estimate are Stephen Rabent (for federal costs) and Rachel Austin (for mandates). The estimate was approved by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
