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:

Hon. Mike Enzi,

U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of

Sincerely,
Keith Hall.

Hon. Mike Enzi,
Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of

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.
