H.R. 2039 would authorize the appropriation of $18.5 billion in 2016 and $18.8 billion in 2017 for activities of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In 2015, NASA received an appropriation of $18.0 billion. Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would cost $37.1 billion over the 2016-2020 period.
Enacting H.R. 2039 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
