Premium   Download PDF Now (4 pages)
Congress 115th
Date Requested Dec. 13, 2017
Requested By House Committee on Natural Resources
Date Sent Feb. 21, 2018
Description:

H.R. 1675 would authorize the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to create the National Landslide Hazards Reduction Program to better respond to and reduce the risk of landslides. The bill also would authorize USGS to create the 3D Elevation Program to develop three-dimensional elevation data for the United States. The authority for each program would expire seven years after enactment. Using information from USGS, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost $297 million over the 2019-2022 period. Such spending would be subject to appropriation.

 

Enacting H.R. 1675 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

 

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1675 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

 

H.R. 1675 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
