CBO estimates that enacting this legislation would reduce direct spending by $256 million over the 2013-2022 period, relative to spending projected under CBO’s current baseline (see enclosed table). Because H.R. 6233 would affect direct spending, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting the bill would not affect federal revenues. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would not affect spending subject to future appropriations. CBO has not reviewed the legislation for intergovernmental or private-sector mandates.

The Agricultural Reconciliation Act of 2012 would make several changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and extend its authorization for one year. CBO estimates that enacting this legislation would reduce direct spending by $5.6 billion in 2013 and by $33.7 billion over the 2013-2022 period, relative to CBO’s March 2012 baseline projections. Those estimates are based on CBO’s assumption that the legislation will be enacted on or near October 1, 2012.

H.R. 1840 would direct the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to assess both costs and benefits of a proposed regulation, adopting such regulation only if the agency determines that the estimated benefits justify the estimated costs. The bill also would broaden the items to consider in developing costs and benefits including, among other things, alternatives to direct regulation.

Revised March 15, 2012 to include a private sector mandate that CBO failed to identify in the original estimate.
