    The Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental 
Affairs, to which was referred the bill (S. 317) to provide 
taxpayers with an annual report disclosing the cost and 
performance of Government programs and areas of duplication 
among them, and for other purposes, having considered the same, 
reports favorably thereon with an amendment and recommends that 
the bill, as amended, do pass.

                         I. Purpose and Summary

    The purpose of S. 317, the Taxpayers Right-To-Know Act, is 
to provide the public with better and more useful information 
on the breadth, cost, and performance of programs administered 
by the Federal Government. It does so by refining existing 
requirements under the Government Performance and Results 
Modernization Act for agencies to create, update, and make 
public an inventory of their programs. Specifically, by 
providing a uniform definition of the term ``program,'' better 
detailing the information agencies must provide, and requiring 
the inclusion of financial and performance data about programs, 
S. 317 will give the American taxpayers a much better sense of 
the programs they are paying for and how those programs are 
performing.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\On May 6, 2015, the Committee approved S. 282, the Taxpayers 
Right-to-Know Act of 2015. That bill is substantially similar to S. 
317, and has been modified slightly. Accordingly, this committee report 
is in large part a reproduction of Chairman Johnson's committee report 
for S. 282, S. Rep. No. 114-71 (2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

              II. Background and the Need for Legislation

    Over twenty years ago, Congress passed the Government 
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) (P.L. 103-62), a law 
premised on the belief that the regular and systemic 
measurement and reporting of how government programs are 
working will help those programs work better.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\See U.S. Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, Government 
Performance and Results Act, 1993 (S. 20), Together with Dissenting and 
Separate Views, (103 S. Rpt. 103-58), p. 2. The Committee on 
Governmental Affairs is the former name of this Committee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    GPRA required agencies to take a number of steps to better 
plan and budget for their activities. It also required agencies 
to provide information about that planning and budgeting, so 
that Congress had the data it needed when considering changes 
to, or authorizing spending on, Federal programs.\3\ GPRA 
implementation, combined with other statutory efforts in the 
1990s addressing long-standing management problems,\4\ has 
provided a framework for developing and integrating information 
about agencies' strategic priorities, the results-oriented 
performance goals that flow from those priorities, performance 
data showing the level of achievement of those goals, and the 
relationship of reliable and audited financial information and 
information technology investments to the achievement of those 
goals.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \3\31 U.S.C. Sec. 1101 note, P.L. 103-62 Sec. 2(a)(3) and 2(b)(5).
    \4\This includes the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 (P.L. 
111-204), as amended by the Government Management Reform Act of 1994 
(P.L. 103-356), and information technology reform legislation, 
including the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (P.L. 104-13) and the 
Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-106).

GPRA Has Established a Solid Foundation for Achieving Greater Results, 
GAO-04-38, 25 (Mar. 10, 2004).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    GPRA has led to some improvements in the Federal 
Government's performance, but the implementation of GPRA has 
also shown that the law's mandates need refinement. For 
example, in 2010, Congress passed the Government Performance 
and Results Modernization Act (GPRA Modernization Act).\6\ The 
GPRA Modernization Act required the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) to provide government-wide priority goals, 
required increased frequency and enhanced quality of agency 
reporting, and required improved transparency of performance 
reporting.\7\ Additionally, the GPRA Modernization Act required 
OMB to publish information about programs identified by 
agencies.\8\ This last provision required agencies to describe 
the purposes of programs meeting OMB's inventory criteria, 
explain how those programs contribute to the mission and goals 
of the agency, and report the amount the program cost for the 
current and two previous fiscal years.\9\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The goal of the GPRA Modernization Act's program inventory 
requirement was to facilitate coordination across agencies and 
programs by making it easier for Federal agencies and Congress 
to find programs seeking to serve a shared goal. A program list 
with detailed performance and financial information also has 
the potential to assist Congress in comparing similar programs 
across different agencies and assessing whether there is 
duplication, overlap, fragmentation, or inefficiencies within 
government programs. As the Government Accountability Office 
(GAO) noted in its first annual report on duplication in 2010, 
``needed information on program performance is not readily 
available; the level of funding in agency budgets devoted to 
overlapping or fragmented programs is not clear; and the 
implementation costs that might be associated with program 
consolidations or terminations, among other variables, are 
difficult to predict.''\10\ Reviewing 44 duplicative employment 
training programs in that same report, GAO explained that ``the 
extent to which individuals receive the same services from 
these programs is unknown due to program data 
limitations.''\11\

Potential Duplication in Government Programs, Save Tax Dollars, and

    \11\Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The first program inventory was published in May 2013 on 
www.performance.gov, a website established by OMB.\12\ GAO 
immediately expressed concern that the program inventory did 
not meet the requirements of the GPRA Modernization Act and 
that the inventory therefore would not enable Congress to 
compare similar programs government-wide. In testimony before 
this Committee, the Comptroller General of the United States, 
Gene Dodaro, reported that GAO's preliminary review of the 
inventories yielded concerns about the usefulness of the 
information being developed and the extent to which it would 
assist Executive Branch and congressional efforts to identify 
and address fragmentation, overlap, and duplication.\13\ Among 
the problems identified by GAO were OMB's guidance for 
developing the inventories, which allowed agencies flexibility 
to define their programs in various ways, including by 
outcomes, customers, products/services, organization structure, 
and budget structure. As a result, agencies--and even the 
components within an agency--took different approaches to 
define their programs. The variation in how agencies defined 
their programs limited comparability among like programs. 
Additionally, Federal budget and cost information was not 
available for all programs.

States), Hearing before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and 
Governmental Affairs, Management Matters: Creating a 21st Century

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Instead of requiring OMB to provide agencies with guidance 
on how to define a program for the purposes of the program 
inventory, S. 317 defines the term ``program,'' thereby 
providing for uniformity of reporting. The bill also requires 
that for programs larger than $10 million, agencies must 
identify and publish the specific statute authorizing each 
program and any major regulations specific to the program, and 
to provide links to any evaluation, assessment, or program 
performance reviews by the agency, an inspector general, or the 
GAO for the preceding five years. For any program over $10 
million that provides grants or other financial assistance to 
individuals or entities, agencies are also required, to the 
extent practical, to publish an estimate of the number of 
individuals served by the program and beneficiaries who 
received financial assistance under the program; an estimate of 
the number of full-time equivalents who administer the program; 
and the number of full-time equivalents who administer or 
assist in administering the program whose salary is paid in 
part or in full by the Federal Government through a grant, 
contract, cooperative agreement, or another form of financial 
award or assistance.
    Under the bill, programs between $1 million and $10 million 
have fewer reporting requirements. Such programs must identify 
which program activities they source their funding from, 
identify the authorizing statute, and describe the individuals 
served by the program. Programs under $1 million are not 
required to be reported. Previous versions of this legislation 
required reporting of all programs over $1 million. Recognizing 
the cost of reporting on smaller programs compared with the 
benefit to the taxpayer, a tiered approach is now included to 
provide minimal reporting for programs between $1 million and 
$10 million.
    In addition to having a defined program list, the Committee 
believes it is important for Congress and the public to have a 
link to the program's performance information with its 
financial information. To that end, the bill builds upon the 
Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA), 
landmark legislation authored by then-Senators Tom Coburn and 
Barack Obama and signed into law in 2006 by President George W. 
Bush, that fundamentally changed the way Federal spending was 
reported to the public,\14\ as well as the 2014 Digital 
Accountability and Transparency Act (DATA Act).\15\ The DATA 
Act requires the Federal Government to increase the 
availability, accuracy, and usefulness of online information 
regarding Federal spending. Specifically, it requires Federal 
agencies to publish spending information online to cover 
virtually all forms of government spending, mandates that the 
information appear in a form that is both easily searchable and 
downloadable, and makes uniform the manner in which agencies 
provide such data for online posting.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The Taxpayers Right-To-Know Act would require that program 
inventories also include, to the extent available, financial 
information for each object class required to be reported under 
the DATA Act. When fully enacted, the Taxpayers Right-to-Know 
Act will result in detailed financial and performance 
information for most Federal programs, all in one place.
    The Taxpayers Right-To-Know Act was first introduced by 
Senator Tom Coburn and then-Representative James Lankford in 
2011 to ensure that future program inventories will reflect 
what this Committee and Congress envisioned when GPRA 
Modernization was passed.\16\ Since 2011, a similar version of 
the bill has been introduced in every subsequent Congress, and 
approved by this Committee.

                        III. Legislative History

    On February 6, 2017, Senator James Lankford introduced S. 
317, the Taxpayers Right-To-Know Act, with Senators Claire 
McCaskill, Ron Johnson, Steve Daines, Deb Fischer, Maggie 
Hassan, Heidi Heitkamp, John McCain, and Rob Portman. Senator 
Mike Enzi joined as a cosponsor on March 2, 2017. The bill was 
referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental 
Affairs.
    The Committee considered S. 317 at a business meeting on 
March 15, 2017. During the meeting, one amendment was offered. 
Senator Lankford offered a substitute amendment that created a 
category of programs between $1 million and $10 million with 
less complex reporting requirements, delayed implementation 
until 2019 to accommodate implementation of the DATA Act, 
changed the program funding reporting to an estimate, and 
included an $18 million authorization. The Committee ordered 
the bill, as amended by the Lankford substitute amendment, 
reported favorably both by voice vote en bloc. Senators present 
for the vote were Senators Johnson, Portman, Lankford, Daines, 
McCaskill, Carper, Tester, Heitkamp, Peters, Hassan, and 
Harris.

        IV. Section-by-Section Analysis of the Bill, as Reported


Section 1: Short title

    The short title of the bill is the ``Taxpayers Right-To-
Know Act.''

Section 2: Inventory of government programs

    Definition of Program. This section adds a new paragraph to 
Section 1122(a) of title 31, United States Code that defines 
the term ``program'' for the purposes of 31 U.S.C. Sec. 1122 
(the provision establishing the requirement for OMB to publish 
an inventory of agency programs) as ``an organized set of 
activities by one or more agencies directed toward a common 
purpose or goal.''
    Website and Program Inventory. This section amends Section 
1122(a) of title 31, United States Code. It directs the OMB 
Director to publish a program inventory that identifies each 
program of the Federal Government for which there is more than 
one million dollars in annual budget authority on the website 
where performance information is posted pursuant to the GPRA 
Modernization Act. Additionally, this section requires the 
program inventory to include: 1) any activity that is commonly 
referred to as a program by a Federal agency in communications 
with Congress, including any activity identified as a program 
in a budget request; 2) any activity that is commonly referred 
to as a program by a Federal agency in communications with the 
public, including each program for which financial awards are 
made on a competitive basis; and 3) any activity referenced in 
law as a program after June 30, 2019.
    The listing for each program must include an identification 
of the program activities that are aggregated, disaggregated, 
or consolidated as part of identifying each program, the amount 
of funding for the current and preceding two fiscal years for 
each of the associated program activities, and to the extent 
practicable, the amount of funding for the program based on an 
estimated share of its associated program activities. The 
listing for each program must also state the specific statute 
that authorizes the program and any major regulations specific 
to the program.
    Any program that provides grants or other financial 
assistance to individuals or entities is also required to 
include: a description of the individuals served by the program 
and beneficiaries who received financial assistance under the 
program, including an estimate of the number of individuals and 
beneficiaries, to the extent practicable; a description of the 
federal employees who administer the program, including the 
number of full time equivalents who administer the program with 
a pro rata estimate for full-time equivalents associated with 
multiple programs and, to the extent practical, a description 
of other individuals whose salary is paid in part or full by 
the federal government through a grant, contract, cooperative 
agreement, or another form of financial award or assistance who 
administer or assist in any way in administering the program, 
including the number of full-time equivalents, to the extent 
practicable.
    Programs listed in the program inventory must also include 
web links to any evaluation, assessment, or program performance 
reviews by the agency, an inspector general, or the GAO that 
was issued in the preceding five years.
    Programs listed in the program inventory must also include, 
to the extent practicable, financial and other information for 
each program activity that is required to be reported under the 
FFATA.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \17\31 U.S.C. Sec. 6101 note, P.L. 109-282.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Programs that are more than $10 million must comply with 
the reporting requirements detailed above. Programs that are 
between $1 million and $10 million must only identify their 
funding sources and authorizing statute, and describe the 
individuals served by the program. Programs under $1 million 
are not required to be reported.
    At the end of each fiscal year, the OMB Director shall 
archive and preserve the information included in the program 
inventory relating to that fiscal year.
    No later than February 1 of each fiscal year, the Director 
of OMB must make publically available the total amount of 
undisbursed grant funding remaining in expired grant accounts 
for which the period of availability to the grantee has 
expired.
    Finally, this section authorizes $18 million in 
appropriations for the period of fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 
2020 to carry out the requirements of the bill.

Section 3: Guidance, implementation, reporting, and review

    Guidance. This section requires the OMB Director, not later 
than June 30, 2018, to issue guidance that will assist agencies 
in identifying the program activities listed in the president's 
budget submission to Congress that correspond with programs 
identified in the program inventory required by this 
legislation. Additionally, the OMB Director is authorized to 
issue guidance to agencies on how to more closely align 
programs in the program inventory for purposes of the budget 
that the President submits to Congress. Finally, the OMB 
Director may, after submitting a notification to Congress, 
exempt non-CFO Act agencies that have less than $10 million in 
budget authority from the requirements of this Act.
    Implementation. This section requires the provisions in 
this legislation to be implemented no later than June 30, 2019.
    Reporting. This section requires GAO to review and report 
on the implementation of the bill five years after the date of 
its enactment.

                   V. Evaluation of Regulatory Impact

    Pursuant to the requirements of paragraph 11(b) of rule 
XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the Committee has 
considered the regulatory impact of this bill and determined 
that the bill will have no regulatory impact within the meaning 
of the rules. The Committee agrees with the Congressional 
Budget Office's statement that the bill contains no 
intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the 
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs 
on state, local, or tribal governments.

             VI. Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate

                                                     April 6, 2017.
Hon. Ron Johnson,
Chairman, Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, U.S. 
        Senate, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for S. 317, the Taxpayers 
Right-To-Know Act.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Matthew 
Pickford.
            Sincerely,
                                                        Keith Hall.
    Enclosure.

S. 317--Taxpayers Right-To-Know Act

    Summary: S. 317 would amend federal law to increase the 
amount of information about federal programs that the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) provides online. The legislation 
would require that each program administered by a federal 
agency be described on OMB's website. The bill also would 
require a report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). 
S. 317 also would authorize the appropriation of $18 million 
for the 2018-2020 period to cover the additional costs of 
collecting and posting this information.
    CBO estimates that implementing S. 317 would cost $18 
million over the 2018-2020 period, assuming appropriation of 
the authorized amounts.
    Enacting S. 317 could affect direct spending by some 
agencies not funded through annual appropriations; therefore, 
pay-as-you-go procedures apply. CBO estimates that any net 
changes in direct spending by those agencies would be 
negligible. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.
    CBO also estimates that enacting S. 317 would not increase 
net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four 
consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.
    S. 317 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector 
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) 
and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal 
governments.
    Estimated Cost to the Federal Government: The estimated 
budgetary impact of S. 317 is shown in the following table. The 
costs of this legislation fall within budget function 800.

    Basis of Estimate: For this estimate, CBO assumes the bill 
will be enacted near the beginning of fiscal year 2018 and that 
the specified amount will be appropriated in equal increments 
over the 2018-2020 period.
    Pay-As-You-Go considerations: The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go 
Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement 
procedures for legislation affecting direct spending or 
revenues. Enacting S. 317 could affect direct spending by some 
agencies not funded through annual appropriations, therefore, 
pay-as-you-go procedures apply. CBO estimates that any net 
changes in direct spending by those agencies would be 
negligible. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.
    Increase in long-term direct spending and deficits: CBO 
estimates that enacting S. 317 would not increase net direct 
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 
10-year periods beginning in 2028.
    Intergovernmental and private-sector impact: S. 317 
contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as 
defined in UMRA and would impose no costs on state, local, or 
tribal governments.
    Estimate prepared by: Federal costs: Matthew Pickford; 
Impact on state, local, and tribal governments: Paige Piper/
Bach; Impact on the private sector: Jon Sperl.
    Estimate approved by: H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant 
Director for Budget Analysis.

        the program inventory required under paragraph (2)
