[Pages S4461-S4465] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] 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: TABLE A.--SENATE AUTHORIZING COMMITTEES--ENACTED DIRECT SPENDING ABOVE (+) OR BELOW (-) BUDGET RESOLUTIONS [In millions of dollars] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2020 2021 2021-2025 2021-2030 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Budget Authority.......... 10,430 0 0 0 Outlays................... 10,430 0 0 0 Armed Services Budget Authority.......... 32 0 0 0 Outlays................... 35 0 0 0 Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Budget Authority.......... 169 0 4 21 Outlays................... 169 0 4 21 Commerce, Science, and Transportation Budget Authority.......... 7 0 0 0 Outlays................... 7 0 0 0 Energy and Natural Resources Budget Authority.......... 0 0 0 0 Outlays................... 0 0 0 0 Environment and Public Works Budget Authority.......... 8,058 0 0 0 Outlays................... 415 0 0 0 Finance Budget Authority.......... 50,913 0 0 0 Outlays................... 49,452 0 0 0 Foreign Relations Budget Authority.......... 2 0 0 0 Outlays................... 37 0 0 0 Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Budget Authority.......... 0 0 0 0 Outlays................... 0 0 0 0 Judiciary Budget Authority.......... 12 0 0 0 Outlays................... 12 0 0 0 Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Budget Authority.......... -720 0 0 0 Outlays................... -997 0 0 0 Rules and Administration Budget Authority.......... 0 0 0 0 Outlays................... 0 0 0 0 Intelligence Budget Authority.......... 0 0 0 0 Outlays................... 0 0 0 0 Veterans' Affairs Budget Authority.......... 0 0 0 0 Outlays................... 0 0 0 0 Indian Affairs Budget Authority.......... 0 0 0 0 Outlays................... 0 0 0 0 Small Business Budget Authority.......... 0 0 0 0 Outlays................... 0 0 0 0 ----------------------------------------- Total Budget Authority...... 68,903 0 4 21 Outlays............... 59,560 0 4 21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This table is current through July 17, 2020.
