                 Supporting   Veterans  in STEM Careers Act

     As ordered reported by the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology
                              on November  15, 2017


H.R. 4323 would modify the requirements and selection criteria of certain National
Science Foundation (NSF) programs that promote wider participation by veterans. The
bill also would require the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) to establish
a subcommittee under the existing Committee on Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM)  Education to coordinate federal programs for transitioning veterans
into careers in STEM and to develop a strategic plan to address barriers to STEM careers
for veterans.

Using information from the NSF and OSTP, CBO estimates that implementing the bill
would cost $1 million over the 2018-2022 period; such spending would be subject to the
availability of appropriated funds. Most of those costs would be for OSTP personnel to
manage additional subcommittee activities and to prepare the strategic plan.

Enacting H.R. 4323 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-
go procedures do not apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 4323 would not increase net direct spending or on-
budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 4323 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform  Act.

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