S. 3729 would extend the obligation period by one year for certain funds provided to the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in fiscal years 2019 and 2020. Under
current law, the obligation period for the affected funds ranges between two and five fiscal
years, depending on the particular program. S. 3729 also would stipulate that any funds
released to FMCSA that would have expired under current law would not be subject to
obligation limitations provided in appropriation laws.

Using information from FMCSA about the amount of unobligated balances for the programs
that would be affected by the bill and the percentage of those programs' funds that expired in
recent years, CBO estimates that enacting S. 3729 would increase direct spending by an
insignificant amount each year between 2021 and 2027 and would total about $750,000 over
the 2020-2030 period. The additional spending would stem from amounts that CBO
estimates will expire under current law that would instead remain available to obligate and
outlay under the bill.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Robert Reese. The estimate was reviewed by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
