COMMITTEE OVERSIGHT FINDINGS

With respect to the requirements of clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of 

the Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee’s oversight findings and recommendations are reflected in this report. 

NEW BUDGET AUTHORITY AND TAX EXPENDITURES

Clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives does not apply where a cost estimate and comparison prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget Office under section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 has been timely 

submitted prior to the filing of the report and is included in the report. Such a cost estimate is included in this report. 

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE

With respect to the requirement of clause 3(c)(3) of rule XIII of 

the Rules of the House of Representatives and section 402 of the 

Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Committee has received the 

enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 3937, as amended, from the Director of the Congressional Budget Office: 

U.S. CONGRESS, 

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE, 

Washington, DC, March 18, 2016. 

Hon. BILL SHUSTER, 

Chairman, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, 

House of Representatives, Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: The Congressional Budget Office has reviewed the following bills ordered reported by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on March 2, 2016: 

• H.R. 4618, a bill to designate the Federal building and 

United States courthouse located at 121 Spring Street SE in 

Gainesville, Georgia, as the ‘‘Sidney Oslin Smith, Jr. Federal 

Building and United States Courthouse’’; and 

• H.R. 3937, a bill to designate the building utilized as a 

United States courthouse located at 150 Reade Circle in Greenville, North Carolina, as the ‘‘Randy D. Doub United States 

Courthouse.’’ 

CBO estimates that enacting the bills would have no significant 

effect on the federal budget and would not affect direct spending 

or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. 

CBO also estimates that enacting the bills would not increase direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 

10-year periods beginning in 2027. 

The bills contain no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would 

impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.

ROBERT A. SUNSHINE

(For Keith Hall, Director).

Representatives, the Committee is required to include a list of congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits

DUPLICATION OF FEDERAL PROGRAMS

Pursuant to section 3(g) of H. Res. 5, 114th Cong. (2015), the 

Committee finds that no provision of H.R. 3937, as amended, establishes or reauthorizes a program of the federal government known 

to be duplicative of another federal program, a program that was 

included in any report from the Government Accountability Office 

to Congress pursuant to section 21 of Public Law 111–139, or a 

program related to a program identified in the most recent Catalog 

of Federal Domestic Assistance. 

DISCLOSURE OF DIRECTED RULE MAKINGS

Pursuant to section 3(i) of H. Res. 5, 114th Cong. (2015), the 

Committee finds that enacting H.R. 3937, as amended, does not direct the completion of a specific rule making within the meaning 

of section 551 of title 5, United States Code. 

FEDERAL MANDATE STATEMENT

The Committee adopts as its own the estimate of federal mandates prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget Office 

pursuant to section 423 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(Public Law 104–4).

report of any Committee on a bill or joint resolution to include a
