a H.R. 512 would amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to prohibit any chief state election administration official from taking part in the
  political management or campaign for any federal office, except under specified circumstances. Enacting the legislation could affect federal revenues
  by increasing the collections of fines for violations of the law. Such collections are recorded in the budget as revenues and in certain cases, may be
  spent without further appropriation. CBO estimates that any additional revenues and direct spending would be insignificant because of the small number
  of anticipated violations.

  Pursuant to Public Law 111-139, Mr. Spratt hereby submits, prior to 
the vote on passage, the attached estimate of the costs of the bill 
H.R. 3421, the Medical Debt Relief Act, as amended, for printing in the 
Congressional Record.

a H.R. 3421 would prohibit credit reporting agencies from listing certain medical debts in consumer credit reports. Enacting the bill could increase the
  collection of civil penalties and this could affect federal revenues; CBO estimates that those amounts would not be significant.

  Pursuant to Public Law 111-139, after consultation with the Chairman 
of the Senate Budget Committee, and on behalf of both of us, Mr. Spratt 
hereby submits, prior to the vote on passage, the attached estimate of 
the costs of the House amendment to the Senate amendment to the bill 
H.R. 3619, the Coast Guard Authorization Act, for printing in the 
Congressional Record.

a Title VI of H.R. 3619 would authorize the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) to extend certain expiring marine licenses, certificates of registry, and merchant
  mariners' documents. Because the extension could delay the collection of fees charged for renewal of such documents, enacting this provision could
  reduce offsetting receipts over the next year or two. Some of those receipts may be spent without further appropriation, however, to cover collection
  costs. CBO estimates that the net effect on direct spending from enacting this provision would be insignificant.
Title X of the legislation would establish new criminal and civil penalties. CBO estimates that any new revenues resulting from those penalties or
  related direct spending (of criminal penalties from the Crime Victims Fund) would be less than $500,00 a year.
Other provisions of H.R. 3619 would direct the USCG to donate certain real and personal property to local governments or other nonfederal entities. CBO
  expects that, under current law, nearly all of that property would either be retained by the USCG or eventually given to other federal or nonfederal
  entities; therefore, donating those assets under the legislation would result in no significant loss of offsetting receipts.

a H.R. 4168 would allow certain algae-based renewable fuels to qualify for the cellulosic biofuel tax credit, and would make the production facilities
  of those fuels eligible for the bonus depreciation allowed to cellulosic fuel facilities. The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that
  the effect of these changes on federal revenues would be insignificant in any year and over the 2010-2020 period.

  Pursuant to Public Law 111-139, Mr. Spratt hereby submits, prior to 
the vote on passage, the attached estimate of the costs of the bill 
H.R. 4337, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act, as 
amended, for printing in the Congressional Record.

a H.R. 4337 would make a number of changes to the tax treatment of income from certain regulated investment companies. On net, the staff of the Joint
  Committee on Taxation estimates that these changes will increase federal revenues over the 2010-2020 period.

Note: H.R. 5360 contains several provisions that would both increase and decrease the costs of certain veterans' programs, including veterans' housing

  Pursuant to Public Law 111-139, Mr. Spratt hereby submits, prior to 
the vote on passage, the attached estimate of the costs of the bill 
H.R. 6026, the Access to Congressionally Mandated Reports Act, as

a H.R. 6026 would require that all congressionally mandated reports be made available to the public on a website operated by the Office of Management
  and Budget. Enacting the legislation could affect direct spending by agencies not funded through annual appropriations, such as the Tennessee Valley
  Authority and the Bonneville Power Administration. CBO estimates, however, that any net increase in spending by those agencies would not be
  significant. Enacting H.R. 6026 would not affect revenues.

  Pursuant to Public Law 111-139, Mr. Spratt hereby submits, prior to 
the vote on passage, the attached estimate of the costs of the bill 
H.R. 6132, the Veterans Benefits and Economic Welfare Improvement Act 
of 2010, as amended, for printing in the Congressional Record.

a H.R. 6132 would exclude certain payments from the annual income determination for veterans pension purposes, extend the authority for the Department
  of Veterans Affairs to complete an income verification match with the Internal Revenue Service, and increase the amount of monthly pension payable to
  Medal of Honor recipients.
