                provision reducing direct spending and specifically 
                identifies any such provision as an offset pursuant to 
                section 252(e), the adjustments shall be an increase in 
                the discretionary spending limits for budget authority 
                and outlays in each fiscal year equal to the amount of 
                the budget authority and outlay reductions, 
                respectively, achieved by the specified offset in that 
                fiscal year, except that the adjustments for the budget 
                year in which the offsetting provision takes effect 
                shall not exceed the amount of discretionary new budget 
                authority provided for the new program (authorized in 
                that Act) in an Act making discretionary appropriations 
                and the outlays flowing therefrom.''.

        designated pursuant to section 252(e) of the Balanced Budget 
        and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 and any outlays 
        flowing therefrom, but not to exceed the amount of the

        programs included in the joint explanatory statement of 
        managers accompanying the conference report on the 
        Comprehensive Budget Process Reform Act of 1999.
            ``(2) The term `insurance commitment' means an agreement in 
        advance by a Federal agency to indemnify a nonfederal entity 
        against specified losses. This term does not include loan 
        guarantees as defined in title V or benefit programs such as 
        social security, medicare, and similar existing social 
        insurance programs.
            ``(3)(A) The term `risk-assumed cost' means the net present 
        value of the estimated cash flows to and from the Government 
        resulting from an insurance commitment or modification thereof.

        the current estimate of the net present value of the remaining 
        cash flows under the terms of the insurance commitment, and the 
        current estimate of the net present value of the remaining cash 
        flows under the terms of the insurance commitment as modified.

calculated under section 302(a)(6) of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974. That bill or joint resolution shall contain the following 
statement of law: ``As required by section 635 of the Spending 
Accountability Lock-box Act of 1999, for fiscal year [insert

              TITLE VII--BUDGETING IN AN ERA OF SURPLUSES

SEC. 701. PAYGO REQUIREMENTS AND THE ON-BUDGET SURPLUS.

    (a) Section 252(a) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
Control Act of 1985 is amended to read as follows:
    ``(a) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to trigger an 
offsetting sequestration in the amount by which any excess of decreases 
in receipts and increases in direct spending over increases in receipts 
and decreases in direct spending, caused by all direct spending and 
receipts legislation enacted prior to October 1, 2002, exceeds 
estimates of the on-budget surplus.''.
    (b) Timing and Calculation of Sequestration.--Section 252(b) of the 
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 is amended to 
read as follows:
    ``(b) Sequestration.--
            ``(1) Timing.--Not later than 15 calendar days after the 
        date Congress adjourns to end a session and on the same day as 
        a sequestration (if any) under section 251, there shall be a 
        sequestration to offset an amount equal to--
                    ``(A) any excess of decreases in receipts and 
                increases in direct spending over increases in receipts 
                and decreases in direct spending for legislation 
                enacted prior to October 1, 2002; minus
                    ``(B) the estimated on-budget surplus (which shall 
                not be less than zero),
        as calculated under paragraph (2).
            ``(2) Calculation of sequestration.--OMB shall calculate 
        the amount of the sequestration by adding--
                    ``(A) all OMB estimates for the budget year of 
                direct spending and receipts legislation transmitted 
                under subsection (d) for legislation enacted prior to 
                October 1, 2002;
                    ``(B) the estimated amount of savings in direct 
                spending programs applicable to the budget year 
                resulting from the prior year's sequestration under 
                this section, if any, as published in OMB's final 
                sequestration report for that prior year; and
                    ``(C) all OMB estimates for the current year that 
                were not reflected in the final OMB sequestration 
                report for that year; and
        then by subtracting from such sum the OMB estimate for the 
        budget year of the on-budget surplus (if any) as set forth in 
        the OMB final sequestration report increased by the amount of 
        budgetary resources cancelled in any such program, project, or 
        activity resulting from a sequestration for the budget year on 
        the same day under section 251 as published in OMB's final 
        sequestration report.''.
    (c) Preview Reports.--Section 254(c)(3) of the Balanced Budget and 
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 is amended by redesignating 
subparagraph (C) as subparagraph (D) and by adding after subparagraph 
(B) the following new subparagraph:
                    ``(C)(i) Mandatory.--In projecting the on-budget 
                surplus (if any) for the budget year, direct spending

                assumptions under section 257(b) but shall exclude all 
                estimates of direct spending and receipts legislation 
                for such year enacted after the date of enactment of 
                this subparagraph (as estimated by OMB when such 
                legislation was originally enacted).

                preceding sentence, the following assumptions shall

of 1999'.

``SEC. 602. BUDGETARY TREATMENT.

    ``(a) President's Budget.--Beginning with fiscal year 2006, the 
budget of the Government pursuant to section 1105(a) of title 31, 
United States Code, shall be based on the risk-assumed cost of Federal 
insurance programs.
    ``(b) Budget Accounting.--For any Federal insurance program--
            ``(1) the program account shall--
                    ``(A) pay the risk-assumed cost borne by the 
                taxpayer to the financing account, and

            ``(4) all payments by or receipts of the financing accounts 
        shall be treated in the budget as a means of financing.
    ``(c) Appropriations Required.--(1) Notwithstanding any other 
provision of law, insurance commitments may be made for fiscal year 
2006 and thereafter only to the extent that new budget authority to 
cover their risk-assumed cost is provided in advance in an 
appropriation Act.
    ``(2) An outstanding insurance commitment shall not be modified in 
a manner that increases its risk-assumed cost unless budget authority 
for the additional cost has been provided in advance.
    ``(3) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to Federal insurance programs 
that constitute entitlements.
    ``(d) Reestimates.--The risk-assumed cost for a fiscal year shall 
be reestimated in each subsequent year. Such reestimate can equal zero.

shall be paid from the program account to the financing account. In the 
case of a negative reestimate, the amount of the reestimate shall be 
paid from the financing account to the program account, and shall be 
transferred from the program account to the general fund. Reestimates 
shall be displayed as a distinct and separately identified subaccount 
in the program account.

Federal insurance programs shall develop models to estimate their risk-
assumed cost by year through the budget horizon and shall submit those 
models, all relevant data, a justification for critical assumptions, 
and the annual projected risk-assumed costs to OMB with their budget 
requests each year starting with the request for fiscal year 2002. 
Agencies will likewise provide OMB with annual estimates of 
modifications, if any, and reestimates of program costs.
    ``(b) Disclosure.--When the President submits a budget of the 
Government pursuant to section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, 
for fiscal year 2002, OMB shall publish a notice in the Federal 
Register advising interested persons of the availability of information 
describing the models, data (including sources), and critical 
assumptions (including explicit or implicit discount rate assumptions)

an opportunity to submit comments. At the same time, the chairman of 
the Committee on the Budget shall publish a notice for CBO in the 
Federal Register advising interested persons of the availability of 
information describing the models, data (including sources), and 
critical assumptions (including explicit or implicit discount rate 
assumptions) that it would use to estimate the risk-assumed cost of 
Federal insurance programs and giving such interested persons an 
opportunity to submit comments.
    ``(c) Revision.--(1) After consideration of comments pursuant to 
subsection (b), and in consultation with the Committees on the Budget 
of the House of Representatives and the Senate, OMB and CBO shall 
revise the models, data, and major assumptions they would use to 
estimate the risk-assumed cost of Federal insurance programs.

            ``(6) The term `modification' means any Government action 
        that alters the risk-assumed cost of an existing insurance 
        commitment from the current estimate of cash flows. This 
        includes any action resulting from new legislation, or from the 
        exercise of administrative discretion under existing law, that

        insurance commitments.

        econometric, probabilistic, or other methodology used to

of a negative amount shall be made.
    ``(c) Credit of Amounts to Ledger.--(1) In the House of 
Representatives or the Senate, whenever a Member offers an amendment to 
an appropriation bill to reduce new budget authority in any account,

    ``(B) When computing the net amounts of reductions in new budget 
authority and in outlays resulting from amendments agreed to by the 
House of Representatives or the Senate to an appropriation bill, the 
chairmen of the Committees on the Budget shall only count those 
portions of such amendments agreed to that were so designated by the 
Members offering such amendments as amounts to be credited to the House 
or Senate Lock-box Balance, as applicable, or that fall within the last 
sentence of paragraph (1).

the Senate on an appropriation bill, the amendments reported to the 
Senate by its Committee on Appropriations shall be considered to be 
part of the original text of the bill.

bill' means any general or special appropriation bill, and any bill or 
joint resolution making supplemental, deficiency, or continuing 
appropriations through the end of a fiscal year.

through the end of that fiscal year. Those amounts shall be the sums of 
the Joint House-Senate Lock-box Balances for that fiscal year, as 
calculated under section 302(a)(6) of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974. That bill or joint resolution shall contain the following 
statement of law: ``As required by section 636 of the Spending 
Accountability Lock-box Act of 1999, for fiscal year [insert 
appropriate fiscal year] and each outyear, the adjusted discretionary 
spending limit for new budget authority shall be reduced by $ [insert
