                       BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT

  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I submit to the Senate the budget 
scorekeeping report for September 2016. The report compares current law 
levels of spending and revenues with the amounts the Senate agreed to 
in the budget resolution for Fiscal Year 2016, the conference report to 
accompany S. Con. Res. 11, and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, P.L. 
114-74, BBA 15. This information is necessary for the Senate Budget 
Committee to determine whether budget points of order lie against 
pending legislation. It has been prepared by the Republican staff of 
the Senate Budget Committee and the Congressional Budget Office, CBO, 
pursuant to section 308(b) of the Congressional Budget Act, CBA.
  This is the sixth report I have made this calendar year. It is the 
third report since I filed the statutorily required Fiscal Year 2017 
enforceable budget limits on April 18, 2016, pursuant to section 102 of 
BBA 15, and the tenth report I have made since adoption of the Fiscal 
Year 2016 budget resolution on May 5, 2015. My last filing can be found 
in the Congressional Record on June 8, 2016. The information contained 
in this report is current through September 6, 2016.
  Tables 1-7 of this report are prepared by my staff on the Budget 
Committee. Only table 1, which tracks compliance with committee 
allocations pursuant to section 302 of the CBA, has changed from my 
previous report due to legislative activity. Of the 16 authorizing 
committees in the Senate, 14 are in compliance with their allocation 
over the enforceable 10-year period, Fiscal Year 2017-2026. The two 
committees not in compliance, the Senate Committee on Energy and 
Natural Resources and the Senate Committee on Environment and Public 
Works, were pushed out of compliance through passage of the Puerto Rico 
Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act, PROMESA, P.L. 114-
187, and the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century 
Act, P.L. 114-182, respectively. During this same period, the Senate 
Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation reduced direct 
spending by $8 million over the 10-year period with the passage of the 
FAA Extension, Safety and Security

[[Page S5458]]

Act of 2016, P.L. 114-190. In total, table 1 shows that authorizing 
committees are $502 million in budget authority and $483 million in 
outlays above allowable direct spending levels over the 10-year window.
  Tables 2-7 remain unchanged due to the legislative impasse over the 
Fiscal Year 2017 appropriations process.
  In addition to the tables provided by the Senate Budget Committee 
Republican staff, I am submitting additional tables from CBO that I 
will use for enforcement of budget totals agreed to by the Congress.
  Because legislation can still be enacted that would have an effect on 
Fiscal Year 2016, CBO provided a report both for Fiscal Year 2016 and 
Fiscal Year 2017. This information is used to enforce aggregate 
spending levels in budget resolutions under section 311 of the CBA. 
CBO's estimates show that current law levels of spending for Fiscal 
Year 2016 exceed the amounts in last year's budget resolution by $138.9 
billion in budget authority and $103.6 billion in outlays. Revenues are 
$155.2 billion below the revenue floor for Fiscal Year 2016 set by the 
budget resolution. As well, Social Security outlays are at the levels 
assumed for Fiscal Year 2016, while Social Security revenues are $23 
million below levels in the budget.
  For Fiscal Year 2017, CBO estimates that current law levels are below 
the Fiscal Year 2017 enforcement filing's allowable budget authority 
and outlay aggregates by $974.1 billion and $592.2 billion, 
respectively. The allowable spending room will be reduced as 
appropriations bills for Fiscal Year 2017 are enacted. Revenues are 
above the levels assumed in the enforcement filing by $200 million in 
Fiscal Year 2017, $410 million over 5 years, and $544 million over 10 
years. This is the product of revenue increases in both PROMESA, $370 
million over 10 years, and P.L. 114-182, $192 million over 10 years, 
and an $18 million reduction in revenues over 10 years from the 
Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016, CARA, P.L. 114-198. 
Finally, Social Security outlays are at the levels assumed in the 
Fiscal Year 2017 enforcement filing, but the enactment of CARA reduced 
Social Security revenues by $6 million over 10 years.
  CBO's report also provides information needed to enforce the Senate's 
pay-as-you-go rule. As part of the Fiscal Year 2017 enforcement filing, 
the Senate's pay-as-you-go scorecard was reset to zero. Since my last 
filing, legislative activity has resulted in an increase in the deficit 
of $81 million over the Fiscal Year 2016-2021 period, but deficit 
reduction of $61 million over the Fiscal Year 2016-2026 period. Over 
the initial 6-year period, Congress has enacted legislation that 
increased outlays by $491 million and revenues by $410 million. Over 
the 11-year period, outlays were increased by $483 million and revenues 
by $544 million. The Senate's pay-as-you-go rule is enforced by section 
201 of S. Con. Res. 21, the Fiscal Year 2008 budget resolution.
  Finally, there is one new entry in the enforcement table included at 
the end of this submission, which tracks the Senate's budget 
enforcement activity on the floor. On June 29, 2016, a 425(a)(2) 
unfunded-mandate budget point of order was raised against PROMESA. This 
point of order was waived through a motion from Senator Hatch by a vote 
of 85-13.
  All years in the accompanying tables are fiscal years.
  I ask unanimous consent that the accompanying tables be printed in 
the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                Washington, DC, September 8, 2016.
     Hon. Mike Enzi,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
     U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of 
     Congressional action on the fiscal year 2016 budget and is 
     current through September 6, 2016. This report is submitted 
     under section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the 
     Congressional Budget Act, as amended.
       The estimates of budget authority, outlays, and revenues 
     are consistent with the technical and economic assumptions of 
     S. Con. Res. 11, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2016.
       Since our last letter dated June 8, 2016, the Congress has 
     not cleared any legislation for the President's signature 
     that has significant effects on budget authority, outlays, or 
     revenues in fiscal year 2016.
           Sincerely,
                                                       Keith Hall.
       Enclosure.

a Pursuant to the statement printed in the Congressional Record on April
  18, 2016, the Senate Pay-As-You-Go Scorecard was reset to zero.
b The amounts shown represent the estimated impact of the public laws on
  the deficit. Negative numbers indicate an increase in the deficit;
  positive numbers indicate a decrease in the deficit.
c Excludes off-budget amounts.
d Excludes amounts designated as emergency requirements.
e CBO estimates that P.L. 114-148 will cause a decrease in spending of
  $7 million in 2018 and an increase in spending of $7 million in 2020,
  resulting in a net effect on the deficit of zero over the six-year and
  eleven-year periods.
f EO estimates that P.L. 114-187 will cause an increase in spending over
  the six-year and eleven-year periods but would also increase revenues
  by the same amount over the same periods resulting in a net effect on
  the deficit of zero over the six-year and eleven-year periods.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a At the time of consideration, a point estimate was unavailable for the Paul amendment. However, it was
  estimated that it would decrease revenues below the levels assumed in the budget resolution.
b This amendment designated $1.1 billion in outlays as being for emergency purposes. This funding, which was not
  offset, would be used to combat the Zika virus.
c This amendment designated $7.7 billion in outlays as being for emergency purposes. This funding, which was not
  offset, would be used to extend the Veterans Choice Program.
d In its estimate for PROMESA, the Congressional Budget Office found that the bill would impose a number of
  mandates on the territorial government of Puerto Rico and its instrumentalities. The costs of these mandates
  on public entities would exceed the annual threshold in UMRA for intergovernmental mandates ($77 million in
  2016, adjusted annually for inflation).
e Unless otherwise noted, the motion to waive was offered pursuant to section 904 of the Congressional Budget
  Act of 1974.
