Premium   Download PDF Now (3 pages)
Congress 115th
Date Requested Feb. 28, 2018
Requested By Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
Date Sent May 25, 2018
Description:

S. 1520 would allow the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to make grants to states to improve their registration practices for recreational fishing. The bill also would require NOAA and the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to conduct several studies and reviews related to fishery conservation and management.

 

Assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO estimates that implementing S. 1520 would cost $7 million over the 2019-2023 period.

 

Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting S. 1520 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

 

S. 1520 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
