H.R. 1063, Strengthening Medicare and Repaying Taxpayers Act of 2011
Cost EstimateNovember 9, 2012
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on September 20, 2012

H.R. 1063 would modify the process through which the Medicare program is reimbursed when another payer (for example, a liability insurer) is responsible for a beneficiary’s medical costs. In general, the provisions of H.R. 1063 would make it easier for other payers to repay Medicare, thus reducing program costs.
H.R. 1206, Access to Professional Health Insurance Advisors Act of 2011
Cost EstimateNovember 7, 2012
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on September 20, 2012
H.R. 6213, No More Solyndras Act
Cost EstimateSeptember 4, 2012
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on August 1, 2012

CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 6213 would cost about $1 million over the 2013-2017 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. Pay-as-you-go procedures would apply to this legislation because it would affect direct spending and revenues. CBO estimates, however, that those impacts would be insignificant over the 2013-2022 period.
H.R. 6194, U.S. Agriculture Sector Relief Act of 2012
Cost EstimateAugust 22, 2012
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on August 1, 2012

H.R. 6194 would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to seek critical-use exemptions under the Montreal Protocol for applications submitted to the agency for the production, importation, and consumption of methyl bromide.
H.R. 6190, Asthma Inhalers Relief Act of 2012
Cost EstimateAugust 22, 2012
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on August 1, 2012
S. 710, the Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest Establishment Act
Cost EstimateAugust 22, 2012
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on August 1, 2012

S. 710 would direct the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish an electronic manifest system to track the handling of hazardous waste. This legislation would authorize the appropriation of $6 million over the 2013-2015 period for EPA to establish the system. In addition, subject to provisions in future appropriations acts, this legislation would authorize EPA to collect user fees to offset the cost of developing, operating, and maintaining the system.
H.R. 6131, a bill to extend the Undertaking Spam, Spyware, and Fraud Enforcement with Enforcers beyond Borders Act of 2006, and for other purposes
Cost EstimateAugust 16, 2012
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on July 31, 2012

CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 6131 would have no significant effect on discretionary spending over the 2013-2017 period. Enacting H.R. 6131 could result in collections of additional civil and criminal penalties, which would affect both revenues and direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO estimates that those effects also would be insignificant.
