Premium   Download PDF Now (3 pages)
Congress 114th
Date Requested May 20, 2015
Requested By Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
Date Sent June 16, 2015
Description:

S. 1331 would authorize appropriations totaling $190 million over the 2016-2020 period for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to expand and improve its capabilities for seasonal weather forecasting. The bill also would require NOAA to carry out various activities relating to the collection, analysis, and dissemination of forecast data.

Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would cost $172 million over the 2016-2020 period. Because enacting S. 1331 would not affect direct spending or revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

S. 1331 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.
