The costs of this bill fall within bu&et function 400.
Basis of estimate: It is assumed thal the full amounk authorized
would be appropriated. The outlay estimate is based on the historical
spending rates.
In frscal year 1983, an appropriation of $1 million was provided
for the emergency fund authorized by this bill. Since then, ffi5f,000
has been obligated from the fund. This estimat€ assumes that
$351,000 would be appropriated for fiscal year 1988 to bring the
fund balance back to the full authorized amount of $l million. No
outla;rs are .-eflected from this appropriation because CBO is
unable to predict when conditions will arise requiring use of these
funds.
The Continuing Resolution for fiscal year 1988 appropriated
$24.0 million for the NISB, while this bill authorizes $25.4 rnillion.
This estimate reflects the net additional fundine authorized.
Other provisions of the bill are not expected [o have a sigrrificant
budgetary impact.
6. Financing mechanism: This legislation authorizes funding to
be provided in subsequent appropriation bills. This cost estimat€
shows the amount of bufuet authority that would be authorized to
be appropriated. The estimated outlays, with the exception noted
above, are those that would be generated if the Congress chooses to
fully fund the authorized amounts.
?. Estimated co€t to stst€ and local sovernments: As stated
above, this bill would require state and locil governments to reimburse
NTSB for goods and services supplied to them. This is not exp€ct€d
to result in a signifrcant cost for these governments.
