BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT
Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I rise to submit to the Senate the budget
scorekeeping report for July 2020. This is my second scorekeeping
report since I filed the deemed budget resolution for fiscal year 2021
on May 4, 2020, as required by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019,
BBA19. The report compares current-law levels of spending and revenues
with the amounts agreed to in BBA19. In the Senate, this information is
used to determine whether budgetary points of order lie against pending
legislation. The Republican staff of the Budget Committee and the
Congressional Budget Office prepared this report pursuant to section
308(b) of the Congressional Budget Act. The information included in
this report is current through July 17, 2020.
Since I filed the last scorekeeping report on June 4, 2020, three
measures with significant enforceable budgetary effects have been
enacted. Two of those measures, the Paycheck Protection Program
Flexibility Act of 2020, P.L. 116-142, and the Emergency Aid for
Returning Americans Affected by Coronavirus Act, P.L. 116-148, were
designated as emergencies by Congress and are not subject to budgetary
enforcement. The third measure, the Hong Kong Autonomy Act, P.L. 116-
149, increased both direct spending and revenues due to its imposed
sanctions regime. Over the fiscal year 2021-2030 period, P.L. 116-149
would increase spending by $21 million and revenues by $28 million for
a total deficit reduction of $7 million.
Budget Committee Republican staff prepared Tables A-G.
Table A provides the amount by which each Senate authorizing
committee exceeds or falls below its allocations for budget authority
and outlays under the fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2021 deemed
budget resolutions. This information is used for enforcing committee
allocations pursuant to section 302 of the CBA. Committee compliance
with allocation remains consistent with last month's report with the
exception of the Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee. Passage
of the Hong Kong Autonomy Act led to spending in excess of that
committee's allowable levels over the fiscal year 2021-2025 and fiscal
year 2021-2030 periods by $4 million and $21 million, respectively.
Spending in this bill is largely due to increased receipts to the
United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund that are then
spent without further appropriation.
Tables B and C provide 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. The tables show
that the Appropriations Committee is compliant with spending limits for
fiscal years 2020 and 2021. The figures included in Table C reflect
advanced and permanent appropriations that have already been enacted
but will become available for obligation in fiscal year 2021.
Tables D and E display figures related to limits on the use of
changes in mandatory programs, CHlMPs, in appropriations bills. These
$15 billion limits, found in the fiscal year 2018 budget resolution for
fiscal year 2020 and section 207 of BBA19 for fiscal year 2021,
currently show the Appropriations Committee in compliance.
Tables F and G provide the amount of budget authority enacted for
2020 and 2021, respectively, that have been designated as either for an
emergency or for overseas contingency operations, OCO, pursuant to
section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Act of 1985, as amended. Funding that receives either of these
designations results in cap adjustments to enforceable discretionary
spending limits. There is no limit on either emergency or OCO spending;
however, any Senator may challenge the designation with a point of
order to strike the designation on the floor.
In addition to the tables provided by Budget Committee Republican
staff, I
[[Page S4462]]
am submitting CBO tables which I will use to enforce budget totals
approved by Congress.
Because legislation can still be enacted that have an effect on
fiscal year 2020, CBO provided spending and revenue reports for both
fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2021. This information is used to
enforce aggregate spending levels in budget resolutions under CBA
section 311. CBO's estimates show that current levels of spending for
fiscal year 2020 exceed amounts in last year's budget resolution by
$68.6 billion in budget authority and $55.1 billion in outlays--2020,
Tables 1-2. Revenues are $114.8 billion below the revenue floor. As
well, Social Security outlays are at levels assumed for 2020, while
Social Security revenues are $16 million above levels assumed in
budget.
For fiscal year 2021, the current law levels are $1,180.0 billion and
$667.8 billion in budget authority and outlays, respectively, below
allowable levels--2021, Tables 1-2. This spending room will be spent
down as regular appropriations bills are enacted for fiscal year 2021.
Revenues and Social Security levels are at the levels assumed by the
fiscal year 2021 deemed budget for this budget year. Over the fiscal
year 2021-2025 and fiscal year 2021-2030 period, revenues are $5
million and $28 million, respectively, greater than revenue levels
assumed in the deemed budget resolution. These revenue increases are
due to the enactment of the Hong Kong Autonomy Act earlier this month.
CBO's report also provides information needed to enforce the Senate
pay-as-you-go, PAYGO, rule (2021, Table 3). This rule is enforced under
section 4106 of the 2018 budget resolution. The Senate PAYGO scorecard
currently shows an enacted deficit decrease of $1 million over the
fiscal year 2020-2025 period and $7 million over the fiscal year 2020-
2030 period due to passage of the Hong Kong Autonomy Act. The budgetary
effects of P.L. 116-142 and P.L. 116-148 are not included in this table
due to the emergency designations included in the acts based on
authorities included in section 4112 of the fiscal year 2018
congressional budget resolution, H. Con. Res. 71, 115th Congress.
This submission also includes a table tracking the Senate's budget
enforcement activity on the floor since the enforcement filing on May
4, 2020. Since that filing, one point of order was raised. On June 15,
2020, I raised a PAYGO point of order against S. Amdt. 1617, the Great
American Outdoors Act, which CBO estimated as increasing the on-budget
deficit by more than $17 billion over the fiscal year 2020-2030 period.
This point of order was waived by the Senate by a vote of 68-30.
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 ojbection, the material was ordered to be printed in
the Record, as follows:

U.S. Congress,
Congressional Budget Office,
Washington, DC, July 23, 2020.
Hon. Mike Enzi,
Chairman, Committee on the Budget, U.S. Senate, Washington,
DC.
Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of

Sincerely,
Phillip L. Swagel,

a Sections 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) and the Congressional Budget and Impoundment
Control Act of 1974 (Congressional Budget Act). Therefore, the amounts shown in this report do not include
$567 million in budget authority and $798 million in estimated outlays.
b For purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act in the Senate, the aggregate spending
and revenue levels for 2020 published in the Congressional Record on September 9, 2019, by the Chairman of the
Senate Committee on the Budget pursuant to section 204 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 (P.L. 116-37) do
not include budget authority, outlays, or revenues for off-budget amounts. As a result, amounts in this
current level report do not include those items.
c Spending and revenue effects designated as an emergency pursuant to Section 4112 of H. Con. Res. 71 (115th
Congress), the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018, do not count for certain budgetary
enforcement purposes in the Senate. These amounts, which are not included in the current level totals, are as
follows:

d Section 124 of the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2020 (division A of P.L. 116-59), appropriated funding for
the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (within the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on Defense) and
designated those amounts as funding for overseas contingency operations. That provision took effect upon
enactment on September 27, 2019.
e In consultation with the House and Senate Committees on the Budget and the Office of Management and Budget,

a Sections 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) and the Congressional Budget and Impoundment
Control Act of 1974 (Congressional Budget Act). Therefore, the amounts shown in this report do not include
$646 million in estimated prior outlays.
b For purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act in the Senate, the aggregate spending
and revenue levels for 2021 published in the Congressional Record on May 4, 2020, by the Chairman of the
Senate Committee on the Budget pursuant to section 205 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 (P.L. 116-37) do
not include budget authority, outlays, or revenues for off-budget amounts. As a result, amounts in this
current level report do not include those items.
c Current level excludes budgetary effects designated as an emergency pursuant to section 4112 of H. Con. Res.
71 (115th Congress), the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018. As a result, this report
excludes $68,534 million in budget authority, $72,977 million in outlays, and all revenue effects stemming
from legislation enacted before the Chair of the Senate Committee on the Budget published aggregate spending
and revenues for fiscal year 2021 in the Congressional Record on May 4, 2020. It also excludes the budgetary
effects of other laws, enacted this session, which were designated as emergency requirements in accordance
with section 4112 of H. Con. Res 71. Those amounts are as follows:
