BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT
Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I rise to submit to the Senate the budget
scorekeeping report for September 2020. This is my third 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 September 4, 2020.
Since I filed the last scorekeeping report on July 23, 2020, two
measures with significant enforceable budgetary effects have been
enacted. The first measure, the Great American Outdoors Act, P.L. 116-
152, established a National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration
Fund to address deferred maintenance on Federal lands and provided $900
million per year in permanent, mandatory funding for the Land and Water
Conservation Fund. CBO estimated this legislation, which passed the
Senate by a vote of 73-25, would increase the deficit by $17.3 billion
over the fiscal year 2021-2030 period. The second measure, the Ryan
Kules and Paul Benne Specially Adaptive Housing Improvement Act of
2019, P.L. 116-154, modified certain veteran housing and education
benefits. CBO estimated that this legislation would increase direct
spending in the near term but would ultimately be offset over the
fiscal year 2020-2030 window.
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. Compliance remains
substantively unchanged since my last report, with the exception of the
Energy and Natural Resources and Veterans' Affairs Committees. The
enactment of the Great American Outdoors Act has caused significant
violations of ENR's allocations provided in the fiscal year 2021 deemed
budget. Enactment of P.L. 116-154 caused violations in the fiscal year
2020 and fiscal year 2021 windows for the Veterans' Affairs Committee,
which were then mitigated by deficit reduction in the out-years.
Tables B-G, which track spending related to the appropriations
process, remain unchanged from my last report.
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 can still be enacted that would 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.
Additionally, Social Security outlays are at the levels assumed for
2020, while Social Security revenues are $16 million above the levels
assumed in budget.
For fiscal year 2021, the current law levels are $1,177.1 billion and
$667.5 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 2021-2030 period, revenues are $5 million and $28
million, respectively, greater than revenue levels assumed in the
deemed budget resolution.
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 enacted deficit increases in every enforceable window.
The largest debit on the scorecard is $17.3 billion over the fiscal
year 2020-2030 period.
This submission also includes a table tracking the Senate's budget
enforcement activity on the floor since the enforcement filing on May
4, 2020. No points of order have been raised since my July report.
An 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:

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

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,
rescissions of emergency funding that was not designated as an emergency requirement pursuant to section
251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 shall not count for certain
budgetary enforcement purposes. These amounts, which are not included in the current level totals, are as

to publish the aggregate spending and revenue levels for fiscal year 2020; those aggregate levels were first
published in the Congressional Record on September 9, 2019. The Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget
has the authority to revise the budgetary aggregates for the budgetary effects of certain revenue and spending
measures pursuant to the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and H. Con. Res. 71 (115th Congress), the concurrent
resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018, as updated by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019.

n.a. = not applicable; P.L. = public law; -- = excluded from current level.
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 lmpoundment
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:

d Section 205 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 requires the Chair of the Senate Committee on the Budget to
publish the aggregate spending and revenue levels for fiscal year 2021; those aggregate levels were first
published in the Congressional Record on May 4, 2020. The Chair of the Senate Committee on the Budget has the
authority to revise the budgetary aggregates for the budgetary effects of certain revenue and spending
measures pursuant to the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and H. Con. Res. 71 (115th Congress), the concurrent
resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018, as updated by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019.
