BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT
Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I wish to submit to the Senate the budget
scorekeeping report for November 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, and the
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, BBA18. This information is necessary for
the Senate Budget Committee to determine whether budgetary points of
order lie against pending legislation. The Republican staff of the
Budget Committee and the Congressional Budget Office, CBO, prepared
this report pursuant to section 308(b) of the Congressional Budget Act,
CBA.
This is my sixth scorekeeping report this year. My last filing can be
found in the Congressional Record for July 18, 2018. The information
included in this report is current through November 13, 2018.
Budget Committee Republican staff prepared Tables 1-6.
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 and the fiscal year
2019 enforceable levels filing. 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 not in
compliance with their allocations. The six committees that are fully
compliant with their allocations are the committees on Armed Services,
Foreign Relations, Rules and Administration, Intelligence, Indian
Affairs, and Small Business and Entrepreneurship. The aggregate 10-year
reduction in budget authority shown in table 1 is largely the product
of savings that are generated at the end of the enforcement window
through changes to customs user fees, Miscellaneous Tariff Bill Act of
2018, P.L. 115-239; Orrin G. Hatch Music Modernization Act, P.L. 115-
264, or from the sale of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve,
America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018, P.L. 115-270.
Tables 2-3 give 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 fiscal year 2018, shown in table 2, are consistent with the
statutory limits. Table 3 shows that the Appropriations Committee is
currently compliant with spending limits for fiscal year 2019.
Currently, seven Appropriations subcommittees are operating under a
continuing resolution, the Department of Defense and Labor, Health and
Human Services, and Education
[[Page S7038]]
Appropriations Act, 2019 and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019 (P.L.
115-245).
The fiscal year 2018 budget resolution contained points of order
limiting the use of changes in mandatory programs in appropriations
bills, CHIMPs. Tables 4, 5, and 6 track compliance with these points of
order. Tables 4 and 6 show compliance with fiscal year 2018 limits for
overall CHIMPs, $17 billion, and the Crime Victims Fund CHIMP, $11.2
billion, respectively. Table 5, which tracks the CHIMP limit of $15
billion for fiscal year 2019, shows the Appropriations Committee has
enacted $7.7 billion worth of full-year CHIMPs for fiscal year 2019.
The fiscal year 2019 CHIMPs were contained in the Labor, Health and
Human Services, Education and Related Agencies division of P.L. 115-
245. This information is used for determining points of order under
sections 4102, overall limit, and 4103, Crime Victims Fund CHIMP, of H.
Con. Res. 71.
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.
Because legislation may still be enacted that would have an effect on
fiscal year 2018, CBO provided a report for both fiscal year 2018 and
2019. This information is used to enforce aggregate spending and
revenue levels in the budget resolution under section 311 of the CBA.
CBO's estimates show that current-law levels of spending for fiscal
year 2018 exceed the amounts in last year's budget resolution by $157.4
billion in budget authority and $106.3 billion in outlays. Revenues are
$3.2 billion above the revenue floor for fiscal year 2018 set by the
budget resolution. Social Security outlays are at the levels assumed by
the resolution, while Social Security revenues are $446 million below
these levels.
For fiscal year 2019, CBO annualizes the effects of the current
continuing resolution, P.L. 115-245, which provides funding through
December 7, 2018. For the enforcement of budgetary aggregates, the
Budget Committee historically excludes this temporary funding. As such,
the current-law levels are $307.9 billion and $198.1 billion below
enforceable levels for budget authority and outlays, respectively.
Revenues are $309 million below the level assumed in the budget
resolution. Further, Social Security revenues are at the levels assumed
for fiscal year 2019, while Social Security outlays are $2 million
above assumed levels for the budget year.
CBO's report also provides information needed to enforce the Senate
pay-as-you-go, PAYGO, rule. The PAYGO scorecard shows deficit increases
in fiscal year 2019 of $377 million, $309 million revenue loss, $68
million outlay increase, over the fiscal year 2018-2023 period of
$1,101 million, $698 million revenue loss, $403 million outlay
increase, and over the fiscal year 2018-2028 period of $105 million,
$689 million revenue loss, $584 million outlay decrease. Excluded from
these figures are the budgetary effects of two direct spending and
revenue bills: the VA Mission Act of 2018, P.L. 115-182, and the
Support for Patients and Communities Act, P.L. 115-271. The exclusion
of these budgetary effects is the result of the statutory inclusion of
explicit directions to exclude the effects from the Senate's PAYGO
scorecard. 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 the May 7 enforcement
filing. Since my last report, one point of order was raised against a
CHIMP provision in the Labor-HHS division of H.R. 6157 during its
initial Senate consideration. Pursuant to section 314 of S. Con. Res.
70, the fiscal year 2009 budget resolution, I raised a point of order
against a $390 million Pell grant provision. The point of order was
waived by a vote of 68-24.
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:

Washington, DC, November 15, 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 the end of fiscal year 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 July 18, 2018, the Congress has
not cleared any legislation for the President's signature
that affects budget authority, outlays, or revenues in fiscal
year 2018.
Sincerely,
Keith Hall,
Director.
Enclosure.

cThe 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.
dPursuant to section 232(b) of H.C. Res. 290 (106th Congress), the Concurrent Budget Resolution for Fiscal Year
2001, the budgetary effects related to the Federal Reserve's surplus funds are excluded. As a result, the
amounts shown do not include estimated increases in revenues of $2,450 million in fiscal year 2018, $2,180
million over the 2018-2022 period, and $1,750 million over the 2018-2027 period.
eSections 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.
fPursuant 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 (HHS)--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, specifically, $60 million in budget authority and $22 million in outlays for the
FDA; and $996 million in budget authority and $748 million in outlays for HHS, which includes $500 million in
budget authority for state responses to the opioid abuse crisis and $496 million for NIH.
gSection 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).
hFor 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.

aSections 1001-1004 of the 21st Century Cures Act (P.L. 114-255) require that certain funding provided for 2017
through 2026 to the Department of Health and Human Services--in particular the Food and Drug Administration
and the National Institutes of Health--be excluded from estimates for the purposes of the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Deficit Control Act) or the Congressional Budget and Impoundment
Control Act of 1974 (Congressional Budget Act). Therefore, the amounts shown in this report do not include
$771 million in budget authority, and $767 million in estimated outlays.
bFor 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 those items.
cPursuant to section 232(b) of H.C. Res. 290 (106th Congress), the Concurrent Budget Resolution for Fiscal Year
2001, the budgetary effects related to the Federal Reserve's surplus funds are excluded. As a result, the
amounts shown do not include estimated increases in revenues of $655 million in fiscal year 2019, $570 million
over the 2019-2023 period, and $454 million over the 2019-2028 period.
dDivision I of P.L. 115-254 provided $1.68 billion in supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2019, and
designated those amounts as being for emergency requirements pursuant to section 251 of the Deficit Control
Act. In general, the budgetary effects of authorizing legislation are recorded as direct spending or revenue.
However, consistent with the language in Division I, and at the direction of the Senate Committee on the
Budget, those budgetary effects are classified as discretionary spending.
eSection 30103 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 required--in the absence of a concurrent resolution on the
budget for fiscal year 2019--that the Chair of the Senate Committee on the Budget publish the aggregate
spending and revenue levels for fiscal year 2019; those aggregate levels were first published in the
Congressional Record on May 7, 2018. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 also allows the Chair of the Senate
Committee on the Budget to revise the budgetary aggregates:
