                                _______

    Mr. Arcuri, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 665]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 665, by a nonrecord vote, report the same to 
the House with the recommendation that the resolution be 
adopted.

                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 2920, the 
``Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2009,'' under a structured 
rule. The resolution provides one hour of debate equally 
divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member 
of the Committee on the Budget.
    The resolution waives all points of order against 
consideration of the bill except those arising under clause 9 
or 10 of rule XXI. It provides that the amendment in the nature 
of a substitute printed in part A of this report, modified by 
the amendment printed in part B of this report, shall be 
considered as adopted and the bill, as amended, shall be 
considered as read. The resolution waives all points of order 
against the bill, as amended.
    The resolution makes in order the amendment in the nature 
of a substitute printed in part C of this report if offered by 
Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin or his designee. The amendment in 
the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read and 
shall be separately debatable for one hour equally divided and 
controlled by the proponent and an opponent. The resolution 
waives all points of order against the amendment in the nature 
of a substitute printed in part C of this report except those 
arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI.
    The resolution provides one motion to recommit the bill 
with or without instructions. Finally, the rule provides that 
for purposes of the concurrent resolution on the budget, the 
amounts specified in section 421(a)(2)(A) and section 
421(a)(2)(C) shall be considered to be those reflected in 
section 314 and section 316 of the House companion measure.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the rule waives all points of order against 
consideration of the bill (except those arising under clause 9 
or 10 of rule XXI), the Committee is not aware of any points of 
order against the bill's consideration. Although the rule 
waives all points of order against provisions in the bill, the 
Committee is not aware of any points of order against the bill. 
The waivers are prophylactic.

  SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE IN PART A TO BE 
                         CONSIDERED AS ADOPTED

    The amendment in the nature of a substitute limits the 
current policy adjustment, as it applies to the 2001 and 2003 
tax cuts, to tax cuts for the middle class and does not provide 
for a current policy adjustment for upper income taxpayers. It 
provides for the use of CBO cost estimates when such estimates 
are available prior to final congressional action on 
legislation, printed in the Congressional Record, and 
incorporated into legislation upon enrollment. When such 
estimates are not available prior to final congressional 
action, provides that OMB estimates shall be used. It requires 
deficit neutrality over both five and ten year periods, 
mirroring House rules. It conforms emergency designation 
procedures for the purposes of statutory PAYGO with emergency 
designation procedures in the House rules, and does not require 
a separate presidential emergency designation. Finally, it 
incorporates the judicial review section from the Balanced 
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.

  SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT IN PART B TO THE AMENDMENT IN THE NATURE OF A 
            SUBSTITUTE IN PART A TO BE CONSIDERED AS ADOPTED

    The amendment eliminates duplicative language in the 
definition of the term ``budgetary effects'' (provisions 
elsewhere in the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
already require that estimates be made publicly available). It 
clarifies that the estimate to be included in a PAYGO Act is 
the estimate submitted for printing in the Congressional 
Record, before the vote on such legislation, by the chair of 
the House or Senate Budget Committee. It clarifies that the 
manner in which estimates should be made available 
electronically by the House and Senate Budget Committees is for 
such committees to post estimates on their websites. It moves 
to a different section the language regarding incorporation of 
estimates into legislation, and language relating to CBO's 
responsibilities and to scorekeeping. Finally, it makes various 
technical and conforming changes.

SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE IN PART C TO BE MADE 
                                IN ORDER

    Ryan, Paul (WI): The amendment in the nature of a 
substitute would establish caps on discretionary spending from 
FY2010 through FY2014 and a cap on total spending as a 
percentage of gross domestic product. It would also put in 
place maximum limits on deficits through 2019, again as a 
percentage of gross domestic product.

SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

  As used in this Act--
          (1) The term ``BBEDCA'' means the Balanced Budget and 
        Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
          (2) The definitions set forth in section 3 of the 
        Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 
        1974 and in section 250 of BBEDCA shall apply to this 
        Act, except to the extent that they are specifically 
        modified as follows:
                  (A) The term ``outyear'' means a fiscal year 
                that occurs one or more years after the budget 
                year.
                  (B) In section 250(c)(8)(C), the reference to 
                the food stamp program shall be deemed to be a 
                reference to the Supplemental Nutrition 
                Assistance Program.
          (3) The term ``AMT'' means the Alternative Minimum 
        Tax for individuals under sections 55-59 of the 
        Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the term ``EGTRRA'' 
        means the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation 
        Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-16), and the term 
        ``JGTRRA'' means the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief and 
        Reconciliation Act of 2003 (Public Law 108-27).
          (4)(A) The term ``budgetary effects'' means the 
        amounts by which PAYGO legislation changes direct 
        spending or revenues relative to the baseline and shall 
        be determined on the basis of estimates included by 
        reference in the PAYGO Act or prepared under section 
        4(d)(3), as applicable. Such estimates shall be made 
        publicly available by the chairs of the Committees on 
        the Budget of the House of Representatives and the 
        Senate before final passage of such legislation or 
        under section 4(d)(3) if such estimates are not made 
        available before the final passage of such legislation. 
        Budgetary effects that increase direct spending or 
        decrease revenues are termed ``costs'' and budgetary 
        effects that increase revenues or decrease direct 
        spending are termed ``savings''.
          (B) For purposes of these definitions, off-budget 
        effects shall be counted as budgetary effects unless 
        such changes flow directly from amendments to title II 
        of the Social Security Act and related provisions of 
        the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and debt service 
        effects shall not be counted as budgetary effects.
          (C) Solely for purposes of recording entries on a 
        PAYGO scorecard, provisions in appropriations Acts are 
        also considered to be budgetary effects for purposes of 
        this Act if such provisions make outyear modifications 
        to substantive law, except that provisions for which 
        the outlay effects net to zero over a period consisting 
        of the current year, the budget year, and the 4 
        subsequent years shall not be considered budgetary 
        effects. For purposes of this paragraph, the term, 
        ``modifications to substantive law'' refers to changes 
        to or restrictions on entitlement law or other 
        mandatory spending contained in appropriations Acts, 
        notwithstanding section 250(c)(8) of BBEDCA. Provisions 
        in appropriations Acts that are neither outyear 
        modifications to substantive law nor changes in 
        revenues have no budgetary effects for purposes of this 
        Act.
          (D) If a provision is designated as an emergency 
        requirement under this Act and is also designated as an 
        emergency requirement for purposes of the applicable 
        rules of the House of Representatives, CBO shall not 
        include the cost of such a provision in its estimate of 
        the legislation's budgetary effects.
          (5) The term ``debit'' refers to the net total 
        amount, when positive, by which costs recorded on the 
        PAYGO scorecards for a fiscal year exceed savings 
        recorded on those scorecards for that year.
          (6) The term ``entitlement law'' refers to a section 
        of law which provides entitlement authority.
          (7) The term ``PAYGO legislation'' or a ``PAYGO Act'' 
        refers to a bill or joint resolution that affects 
        direct spending or revenue relative to the baseline. 
        The budgetary effects of changes in revenues and 
        outyear modifications to substantive law included in 
        appropriation Acts as defined in paragraph (4) shall be 
        treated as if they were contained in PAYGO legislation.
          (8) The term ``timing shift'' refers to a delay of 
        the date on which direct spending would otherwise occur 
        from the ninth outyear to the tenth outyear or an 
        acceleration of the date on which revenues would 
        otherwise occur from the tenth outyear to the ninth 
        outyear.

SEC. 4. PAYGO ESTIMATES AND PAYGO SCORECARDS.

  (a) CBO Paygo Estimates.--(1) A PAYGO Act shall include by 
reference an estimate of its budgetary effects as determined 
under section 308(a)(3) of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974, if timely submitted. Budgetary effects that are not so 
included shall be determined under section 4(d)(3).
  (2)(A) Section 308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 
is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
          ``(3) CBO paygo estimates.--Before a vote in either 
        House on a PAYGO Act that, if determined in the 
        affirmative, would clear such Act for enrollment, the 
        chairs of the Committees on the Budget of the House and 
        Senate shall request from the Director of the 
        Congressional Budget Office an estimate of the 
        budgetary effects of such Act under the Pay-As-You-Go 
        Act of 2009. If such an estimate is timely provided, 
        the chairs of the Committees on the Budget of the House 
        of Representative and the Senate shall cause it to be 
        printed in the Congressional Record under the heading 
        `PAYGO ESTIMATE'. As provided in section 4(a) of the 
        Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2009, the Clerk of the 
        House of Representatives or the Secretary of the 
        Senate, as applicable, shall incorporate an estimate 
        printed in the relevant portion of the Congressional 
        Record under this subsection into the enrollment of the 
        Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2009. The Director of the 
        Congressional Budget Office shall provide estimates 
        under this section in accordance with the scorekeeping 
        guidelines determined under section 252(d)(5) of the 
        Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 
        1985. Upon agreement, the chairs of the Committees on 
        the Budget of the House of Representatives and the 
        Senate shall submit updates to such guidelines for 
        printing in the Congressional Record. For purposes of 
        this section, the Director of the Congressional Budget 
        Office shall not count timing shifts in his estimates 
        of the budgetary effects of PAYGO legislation (as 
        defined in section 3 of the Pay-As-You-Go Act of 
        2009).''.
  (B) The side heading of section 308(a) of the Congressional 
Budget Act of 1974 is amended by striking ``Reports on''.
  (b) Publication of Estimates.--The chairs of the Committees 
of Budget of the House of Representatives and the Senate shall 
make publicly available electronically and in printed form the 
estimates made under section 308(d) of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974. The chairs shall also submit such estimates to be 
printed in the Congressional Record before the vote on final 
passage of any measure and that measure shall include by 
reference an estimate of its budgetary effects.
  (c) Current Policy Adjustments for Certain Legislation.--For 
purposes of calculating budgetary effects under this Act, CBO 
shall adjust its estimates as described below for any provision 
of legislation designated as meeting the criteria in subsection 
(b), (c), or (d) of section 7 and which the chairman of the 
Committee on the Budget of the House of Representatives or the 
Senate, as applicable, designates as meeting those criteria. A 
single piece of legislation may contain provisions designated 
as meeting criteria in more than one of the subsections listed 
above. For appropriately designated provisions, CBO shall 
exclude from its estimates for purposes of this Act any costs 
of a provision to the extent that those costs, when combined 
with all other excluded costs of any other previously 
designated provisions of enacted legislation under the same 
subsection of section 7, do not exceed the maximum applicable 
current policy adjustment defined under the applicable 
subsection of section 7 for the applicable 10-year period, 
using the most recent baseline estimates supplied by the 
Congressional Budget Office consistent with section 257 of the 
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 used 
in considering a concurrent resolution on the budget; or, after 
the beginning of a new calendar year and before consideration 
of a concurrent resolution on the budget, using the most recent 
baseline estimates supplied by the Congressional Budget Office 
consistent with section 257 of the Balanced Budget and 
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. CBO estimates of 
legislation containing a current policy designation under this 
subsection shall include a separate presentation of costs 
excluded from the calculation of budgetary effects for the 
legislation, as well as an updated total of all excluded cost 
of provisions within the same subsection of section 7.
  (d) OMB Paygo Scorecards.--
          (1) In general.--OMB shall maintain and make publicly 
        available a continuously updated document containing 
        two PAYGO scorecards displaying the budgetary effects 
        of PAYGO legislation as determined under subsection 
        (b), applying the look-back requirement in subsection 
        (e) and the averaging requirement in subsection (f), 
        and a separate addendum displaying the estimates of the 
        costs of provisions designated in statute as emergency 
        requirements.
          (2) Estimates in legislation.--Except as provided in 
        paragraph (3), in making the calculations for the PAYGO 
        scorecards, OMB shall use the budgetary effects 
        included by reference in the applicable legislation.
          (3) OMB estimates.--If legislation does not contain 
        the estimate of budgetary effects under paragraph (2), 
        then OMB shall score the budgetary effects of that 
        legislation upon its enactment, based on the approaches 
        to scorekeeping set forth in this Act.
          (4) 5-year scorecard.--The first scorecard shall 
        display the budgetary effects of PAYGO legislation in 
        each year over the 5-year period beginning in the 
        budget year.
          (5) 10-year scorecard.--The second scorecard shall 
        display the budgetary effects of PAYGO legislation in 
        each year over the 10-year period beginning in the 
        budget year.
  (e) Look-Back to Capture Current-Year Effects.--For purposes 
of this section, OMB shall treat the budgetary effects of PAYGO 
legislation enacted during a session of Congress that occur 
during the current year as though they occurred in the budget 
year.
  (f) Averaging Used to Measure Compliance Over 5-Year and 10-
Year Periods.--OMB shall cumulate the budgetary effects of a 
PAYGO Act over the budget year (which includes any look-back 
effects under subsection (e)) and--
          (1) for purposes of the 5-year scorecard referred to 
        in subsection (d)(4), the four subsequent outyears, 
        divide that cumulative total by five, and enter the 
        quotient in the budget-year column and in each 
        subsequent column of the 5-year PAYGO scorecard; and
          (2) for purposes of the 10-year scorecard referred to 
        in subsection (d)(5), the nine subsequent outyears, 
        divide that cumulative total by ten, and enter the 
        quotient in the budget-year column and in each 
        subsequent column of the 10-year PAYGO scorecard.

SEC. 5. ANNUAL REPORT AND SEQUESTRATION ORDER.

  (a) Annual Report.--Not later than 14 days (excluding 
weekends and holidays) after Congress adjourns to end a 
session, OMB shall make publicly available and cause to be 
printed in the Federal Register an annual PAYGO report. The 
report shall include an up-to-date document containing the 
PAYGO scorecards, a description of any current policy 
adjustments made under section 4(c), information about 
emergency legislation (if any) required by section 3(4)(D), 
information about any sequestration if required by subsection 
(b), and other data and explanations that enhance public 
understanding of this Act and actions taken under it.
  (b) Sequestration Order.--If the annual report issued at the 
end of a session of Congress under subsection (a) shows a debit 
on either PAYGO scorecard for the budget year, OMB shall 
prepare and the President shall issue and include in that 
report a sequestration order that, upon issuance, shall reduce 
budgetary resources of direct spending programs by enough to 
offset that debit as prescribed in section 6. If there is a 
debit on both scorecards, the order shall fully offset the 
larger of the two debits. OMB shall include that order in the 
annual report and transmit it to the House of Representatives 
and the Senate. If the President issues a sequestration order, 
the annual report shall contain, for each budget account to be 
sequestered, estimates of the baseline level of budgetary 
resources subject to sequestration, the amount of budgetary 
resources to be sequestered, and the outlay reductions that 
will occur in the budget year and the subsequent fiscal year 
because of that sequestration.

SEC. 6. CALCULATING A SEQUESTRATION.

  (a) Reducing Nonexempt Budgetary Resources by a Uniform 
Percentage.--OMB shall calculate the uniform percentage by 
which the budgetary resources of nonexempt direct spending 
programs are to be sequestered such that the outlay savings 
resulting from that sequestration, as calculated under 
subsection (b), shall offset the budget-year debit, if any on 
the applicable PAYGO scorecard. If the uniform percentage 
calculated under the prior sentence exceeds 4 percent, the 
Medicare programs described in section 256(d) of BBEDCA shall 
be reduced by 4 percent and the uniform percentage by which the 
budgetary resources of all other nonexempt direct spending 
programs are to be sequestered shall be increased, as 
necessary, so that the sequestration of Medicare and of all 
other nonexempt direct spending programs together produce the 
required outlay savings.
  (b) Outlay Savings.--In determining the amount by which a 
sequestration offsets a budget-year debit, OMB shall count--
          (1) the amount by which the sequestration in a crop 
        year of crop support payments, pursuant to section 
        256(j) of BBEDCA, reduces outlays in the budget year 
        and the subsequent fiscal year;
          (2) the amount by which the sequestration of Medicare 
        payments in the 12-month period following the 
        sequestration order, pursuant to section 256(d) of 
        BBEDCA, reduces outlays in the budget year and the 
        subsequent fiscal year; and
          (3) the amount by which the sequestration in the 
        budget year of the budgetary resources of other 
        nonexempt mandatory programs reduces outlays in the 
        budget year and in the subsequent fiscal year.

SEC. 7. CURRENT POLICY ADJUSTMENT TO THE CBO ESTIMATES.

  (a) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to provide for 
adjustments of estimates of PAYGO effects for legislation 
affecting four areas of the budget--
          (1) payments made under section 1848 of the Social 
        Security Act (titled Payment for Physicians' Services);
          (2) the Estate and Gift Tax under subtitle B of the 
        Internal Revenue Code of 1986;
          (3) the AMT; and
          (4) provisions of EGTRRA or JGTRRA that amended the 
        Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (or provisions in later 
        statutes further amending the amendments made by EGTRRA 
        or JGTRRA), other than--
                  (A) the provisions of those two Acts that 
                were made permanent by the Pension Protection 
                Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-280);
                  (B) amendments to the estate and gift tax 
                referred to in paragraph (2);
                  (C) the AMT referred to in paragraph (3);
                  (D) the 35 percent bracket and that portion 
                of the 33 percent bracket that applies to 
                taxable income greater than $200,000 for an 
                individual and $250,000 for a couple; and
                  (E) provisions in those two Acts relating to 
                taxes rates on capital gains and dividends.
  (b) Medicare Payments to Physicians.--
          (1) Criteria.--Legislation that includes provisions 
        amending or superseding the system of payments under 
        section 1848 of the Social Security Act shall trigger 
        the current policy adjustment required by this Act.
          (2) Adjustment.--The amount of the maximum current 
        policy adjustment shall be the difference between--
                  (A) estimated net outlays attributable to the 
                payments made to physicians under that section 
                of the Social Security Act (as scheduled on 
                July 15, 2009, to be in effect); and
                  (B) what those net outlays would have been if 
                the nominal payment rates and related 
                parameters in effect for 2009 had been in

        shall include adjustments to discretionary spending 
        limits (and those limits as cumulatively adjusted) for 
        the budget year and each outyear to reflect changes in 
        concepts and definitions. Such changes shall equal the 
        baseline levels of new budget authority and outlays 
        using up-to-date concepts and definitions minus those 
        levels using the concepts and definitions in effect 
        before such changes. Such changes may only be made 
        after consultation with the Committees on 
        Appropriations and the Budget of the House of 
        Representatives and the Senate and that consultation 
        shall include written communication to such committees

                the total of such appropriations in 
                discretionary accounts designated as emergency 
                requirements and the outlays flowing in all

                operations related to the global war on 
                terrorism that the Congress so designates in

        spending limit for that category but new budget 
        authority does not exceed its limit for that category 
        (after application of the first step of a spending 
        reduction described in subsection (a)(2), if 
        necessary), the adjustment in outlays for a fiscal year

        spending limits on outlays for that fiscal year.''.
