S. 4816 would require the Archivist of the United States to submit a comprehensive plan for reducing the backlog of requests for records from the National Personnel Records Center. The bill would authorize the appropriation of $60 million for that purpose. CBO estimates that enacting S. 4816 would not affect direct spending or revenues. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would increase discretionary costs by $60 million over the 2023-2027 period but that spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. The bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
