BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT
Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I wish to submit to the Senate the budget
scorekeeping report for April 2018. The report compares current-law
levels of spending and revenues with the amounts the Senate agreed to
in the budget resolution for fiscal year 2018, H. Con. Res. 71. This
information is necessary for the Senate Budget Committee to determine
whether budget points of order lie against pending legislation. The
Republican staff of the Senate Budget Committee and the Congressional
Budget Office, CBO, prepared this report pursuant to section
[[Page S2114]]
308(b) of the Congressional Budget Act, CBA.
The enforceable levels included in this report reflect all of the
numerical adjustments made to the resolution since its passage. The
information contained in this report captures legislative activity from
passage of the budget resolution through April 9, 2018. The only law
enacted with significant budgetary effects since my last filing, on
February 28, 2018, was the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018, P.L.
115-141.
Republican Budget Committee staff prepared tables 1 to 4 of this
report.
Table 1 gives the amount by which each Senate authorizing committee
exceeds or is below its allocation for budget authority and outlays
under the most recently adopted budget resolution. This information is
used for enforcing committee allocations pursuant to section 302 of the
CBA. For this reporting period, 10 of the 16 authorizing committees are
in compliance with their allocations. As previously reported, the
Senate Veterans' Affairs; Energy and Natural Resources; Health,
Education, Labor, and Pensions; Finance; and Agriculture, Nutrition,
and Forestry Committees are in breach of their allocations. Since my
last report, several committees' allocations were affected by changes
in the nonappropriations provisions included in the omnibus
appropriations bill. Still, the only new committee creating a breach
was the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, which spent
$100 million more in both budget authority and outlays through Division
P of the omnibus, Ray Baum's Act of 2018, than allowed under the budget
resolution.
Table 2 gives the amount by which the Senate Committee on
Appropriations is below or exceeds the statutory spending limits. This
information is used to determine points of order related to the
spending caps found in sections 312 and 314 of the CBA. Appropriations
for 2018 are consistent with the statutory limits as modified by the
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018.
The budget resolution contains two points of order limiting the use
of changes in mandatory programs in appropriations bills, CHIMPS.
Tables 3 and 4 show compliance with fiscal year 2018 limits for overall
CHIMPS $17 billion, and the crime victims fund CHIMP, $11.2 billion,
respectively. This information is used for determining points of order
under sections 4102 and 4103 of H. Con. Res. 71, respectively. CHIMPS
included in the 2018 omnibus comply with the existing limits.
In addition to the tables provided by Budget Committee Republican
staff, I am submitting CBO tables, which I will use to enforce budget
totals approved by Congress.
CBO provided a spending and revenue report for fiscal year 2018,
which helps enforce aggregate spending levels in budget resolutions
under CBA section 311. CBO's estimates, which now include the full
effects of appropriations for this year, show that current-law levels
of spending for fiscal year 2018 are above the amounts assumed in the
budget resolution by $152.2 billion in budget authority and $105.5
billion in outlays. For fiscal year 2018, Social Security outlay levels
remain consistent with the budget resolution's assumption
Current-law revenues continue to be in excess of the levels assumed
by the budget resolution. On-budget revenue levels currently exceed
assumed levels by $3.2 billion in fiscal year 2018, $39.8 billion over
the fiscal year 2018-2022 period, and $94.2 billion over the fiscal
year 2018-2027 period. For fiscal year 2018, Social Security revenues
are $446 million below levels assumed in the budget resolution.
CBO's report also provides information needed to enforce the Senate
pay-as-you-go, PAYGO, rule. The Senate's PAYGO scorecard currently
shows deficit reduction of $24 million in fiscal year 2018, but deficit
increases of $10 million over the fiscal year 2017-2022 period and $11
million over the fiscal year 2017-2027 period. For fiscal year 2018,
legislation has been enacted that would reduce outlays by $24 million.
Over the fiscal year 2017-2022 period, legislation has been enacted
that CBO estimates will decrease outlays by $13 million and decrease
revenues by $23 million. Over the fiscal year 2017-2027 period,
legislation has been enacted that CBO estimates will decrease outlays
by $11 million and decrease revenues by $22 million. Consistent with
recent congressional practice, the direct spending and revenue
provisions included in the non-Appropriations Committee portion of the
fiscal year 2018 omnibus, which increased deficits by $2.8 billion over
10 years are being excluded from PAYGO calculations. This is due to
provisions in the omnibus that mandated the exclusion of those
budgetary effects both from the Senate and statutory PAYGO scorecards.
The Senate's PAYGO rule is enforced by section 4106 of H. Con. Res. 71.
Also included in this submission is a table tracking the Senate's
budget enforcement activity on the floor since Congress adopted the
budget resolution. Two points of order were raised since my last
filing. On March 14, 2018, Senator Sanders raised a PAYGO point of
order against S. 2155, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and
Consumer Protection Act. This point of order was waived by a vote of 67
to 31. On March 21, 2018, Leader McConnell raised a PAYGO point of
order against Senator Wyden's amendment, S. Amdt. 2213, to H.R. 1865,
the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of
2017. This point of order was sustained with a vote of 21 to 78 on
Senator Wyden's waiver motion.
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:

U.S. Congress,
Congressional Budget Office,
Washington, DC, April 11, 2018.
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 2018 budget and is
current through April 9, 2018. 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
H. Con. Res. 71, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for
Fiscal Year 2018.
Since our last letter dated February 28, 2018, the Congress
has cleared and the President has signed the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2018 (Public Law 115-141). That act has
significant effects on budget authority, outlays, and
revenues in fiscal year 2018.
Sincerely,
Keith Hall,
Director.
Enclosure.

\a\ Includes the budgetary effects of the following acts that affect
budget authority, outlays, or revenues and were cleared by the
Congress during the 1st session of the 115th Congress, but before the
adoption of H. Con. Res. 71, the concurrent resolution on the budget
for fiscal year 2018: the VA Choice and Quality Employment Act of 2017
(P.L. 115-46); the Harry W. Colmery Veterans Educational Assistance
Act of 2017 (P.L. 115-48); a joint resolution compact relating to the
establishment of the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission (P.L. 115-
54); the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2018 and Supplemental
Appropriations for Disaster Relief Requirements Act, 2017 (P.L. 115-
56); the Emergency Aid to American Survivors of Hurricanes Irma and
Jose Overseas Act (P.L. 115-57); the Department of Veterans Affairs
Expiring Authorities Act of 2017 (P.L. 115-62); the Disaster Fax
Relief and Airport and Airway Extension Act of 2017 (P.L. 115-63); the
Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria Education Relief Act of 2017 (P.L.
115-64); and the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster
Relief Requirements Act, 2017 (P.L. 115-72).
\b\ Emergency funding that was not designated as an emergency
requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Deficit Control
Act does not count for certain budgetary enforcement purposes. These
amounts, which are not included in the current level totals, are as
follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
\c\ The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-123) contains seven
divisions: Division A, Subdivision 2 of Division B, and Divisions C-F
contain authorizing legislation, of which the budgetary effects of
Subdivision 2 of Division B were designated as being for emergency
requirements. Subdivisions 1 and 3 of Division B contain appropriation
legislation: Subdivision 1 provided supplemental appropriations for
fiscal year 2018 for disaster relief and designated those amounts as
being for emergency requirements, and section 158 of Subdivision 3
provided authority for the duration of fiscal year 2018, for the
Secretary of Energy to draw down and sell crude oil from the Strategic
Petroleum Reserve. Division G of P.L. 115-123 provided for the
budgetary treatment of Divisions A-F.
\d\ Sections 540-543 of the Department of Homeland Security
Appropriations Act, 2017 (Division F of P.L. 115-31), extended several
immigration programs through the end of fiscal year 2017. Several
continuing resolutions continued those authorities through March 23,
2018, and sections 202-205 of title II of Division M of P.L. 115-141
further extended those programs through 2018. CBO estimates that
extending those authorities for the entirety of fiscal year 2018 will
increase on-budget direct spending by $5 million in fiscal year 2018,
$27 million over the 2018-2022 period, and $53 million over the 2018-
2027 period. In addition, CBO estimates that extending those
authorities will decrease off-budget direct spending by $1 million
over the 2018-2022 period and by $7 million over the 2022-2027 period.
Further, CBO estimates that continuing those authorities will increase
revenues by $2 million over the 2018-2022 period and by $7 million
over the 2018-2027 period. Consistent with the budgetary treatment of
Divisions K-V of P.L. 115-141, the budgetary effects of extending the
immigration programs through March 23, 2018, are charged to the
Appropriations Committee; the effects of extending the programs for
the remainder of fiscal year 2018 are charged to the relevant
authorizing committees.
\e\ Pursuant to sections 1001-1004 of the 21st Century Cures Act (P.L.
114-255), certain funding provided to the Department of Health and
Human Services--in particular the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)--in 2017 through 2026
shall not count for the purposes of complying with provisions of the
Deficit Control Act or the Congressional Budget and Impoundment
Control Act of 1974. As a result, the amounts shown do not include
$1,056 million in budget authority or $770 million in associated
outlays in fiscal year 2018 within the following subcommittees'
jurisdictions: $60 million in budget authority and $22 million in
outlays for the FDA (Agriculture); and $996 million in budget
authority and $748 million to outlays for HHS, which includes $500
million in budget authority for state responses to the opioid abuse
crisis and $496 million for NIH (Labor, HHS, Education).
\f\ Section 255 of the Departments of Labor, Health, and Human Services,
and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2018 (Division
H of P.L. 115-141), delayed implementation of the recommendations of
the United States Preventive Services Task Force with respect to
breast cancer screening, mammography, and prevention. CBO estimates
that the delay will increase direct spending (budget authority and
outlays) by $14 million in fiscal year 2019 and by $6 million in
fiscal year 2020. In addition, CBO estimates that section 225 will
decrease revenues by $23 million in fiscal year 2019 (of which $6
million will be off-budget) and will decrease revenues by $9 million
in fiscal year 2020 (of which $2 million will be off-budget).
\g\ For purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget
Act in the Senate, the resolution, as approved by the Senate, does not
include budget authority, outlays, or revenues for off-budget amounts.
As a result, current level does not include these items.
\h\ Periodically, the Senate Committee on the Budget revises the
budgetary levels in H. Con. Res. 71, pursuant to various provisions of
the resolution. The total for the Initial Senate Resolution shown
below excludes $47,660 million in budget authority, $22,467 million in
outlays, and $150,003 million in revenues assumed in H. Con. Res. 71
for discretionary spending not constrained by the budgetary caps
established by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (P.L. 112-25) and
subsequently amended, including spending that qualifies for
adjustments pursuant to section 4205 of H. Con. Res. 71.
