a H.R. 5330 would extend a Department of Justice (DOJ) program that permits companies that have violated certain antitrust laws to admit guilt and
  assist in DOJ prosecution of other companies alleged to have violated such laws. This program could increase the number of successful prosecutions and
  thus the amount of fines collected. CBO expects that any such additional fines would not be significant in any year.
