Premium   Download PDF Now (2 pages)
Congress 114th
Date Requested Jan. 20, 2016
Requested By Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works
Date Sent Feb. 10, 2016
Description:

S. 1024 would authorize the appropriation of $1.5 billion over the 2017-2021 period for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, a program that funds projects targeting invasive aquatic species and nonpoint source pollution. The program received an appropriation of $300 million for fiscal year 2016.

CBO estimates that implementing S. 1024 would cost $1.35 billion over the next five years, assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts.

Enacting S. 1024 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting S. 1024 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

S. 1024 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.
