1References to years on the PAYGO scorecards 

are to fiscal years. 

2Provisions in appropriations acts that affect 

direct spending in the years beyond the budget year 

(also known as ‘‘outyears’’) or affect revenues in any 

year are considered to be budgetary effects for the 

purposes of the PAYGO scorecards except if the 

provisions produce outlay changes that net to zero 

over the current year, budget year, and the four 

subsequent years. As specified in section 3 of the 

PAYGO Act, off-budget effects are not counted as 

budgetary effects. Off-budget effects refer to effects 

on the Social Security trust funds (Old-Age and 

Survivors Insurance and Disability Insurance) and 

the Postal Service. 

3As provided in section 4(d) of the PAYGO Act, 

2 U.S.C. 933(d), budgetary effects on the PAYGO 

scorecards are based on congressional estimates for 

bills including a reference to a congressional 

estimate in the Congressional Record, and for which 

such a reference is indeed present in the Record. 

Absent such a congressional cost estimate, OMB is 

required to use its own estimate for the scorecard. 

None of the bills enacted during the second session 

of the 113th Congress had such a congressional 

estimate and therefore OMB was required to 

provide an estimate for all PAYGO laws enacted 

during the session. 

The Drug Enforcement 

Administration (DEA) has considered 

the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and 

determined that the registration of 

Johnson Matthey, Inc. to manufacture 

the basic classes of controlled 

substances is consistent with the public 

interest and with United States 

obligations under international treaties, 

conventions, or protocols in effect on 

May 1, 1971. The DEA investigated the 

company’s maintenance of effective 

controls against diversion by inspecting 

and testing the company’s physical 

security systems, verifying the 

company’s compliance with state and 

local laws, and reviewing the company’s 

background and history. 

Therefore, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 

823(a), and in accordance with 21 CFR 

1301.33, the above-named company is 

granted registration as a bulk 

manufacturer of marihuana (7360), a 

basic class of controlled substance listed 

in schedule I. 

In reference to drug code 7360, the 

company plans to manufacture a 

synthetic version cannabidiol in bulk 

for sale to its customers, who are final 

dosage form manufacturers. No other 

activity for this drug code is authorized 

for this registration.

ACTION: Notice. 

Authority: 2 U.S.C. 934 

SUMMARY: This report is being published 

as required by the Statutory Pay-AsYou-Go (PAYGO) Act of 2010, 2 U.S.C. 

931 et seq. The Act requires that OMB 

issue (1) an annual report as specified 

in 2 U.S.C. 934(a) and (2) a 

sequestration order, if necessary. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Patrick Locke. 202–395–3672. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

report and additional information about 

the PAYGO Act can be found at

Courtney Timberlake, 

Assistant Director for Budget. 

This Report is being published 

pursuant to section 5 of the Statutory 

Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) Act of 2010, 

Public Law 111–139, 124 Stat. 8, 2 

U.S.C. 934, which requires that OMB 

issue an annual PAYGO report, 

including a sequestration order if 

necessary, no later than 14 working days 

after the end of a congressional session. 

This Report describes the budgetary 

effects of all PAYGO legislation and 

legislation designated as an emergency 

under section 4(g) of the PAYGO Act 

enacted during the second session of the 

113th Congress and presents the 5-year 

and 10-year PAYGO scorecards 

maintained by OMB. Because neither 

the 5-year nor 10-year scorecard shows 

a debit for the budget year, which for 

purposes of this Report is fiscal year 

2015,1 a sequestration order under 

subsection 5(b) of the PAYGO Act, 2 

U.S.C. 934(b), is not necessary. 

The scorecards include no current 

policy adjustments made under section 

4(c) of the PAYGO Act, 2 U.S.C. 933(c), 

for legislation enacted during the 

second session of the 113th Congress. 

The authority for current policy 

adjustments expired as of December 31, 

2011. For these reasons, the Report does 

not contain any information about or 

descriptions of any current policy 

adjustments. 

I. PAYGO Legislation With Budgetary 

Effects 

PAYGO legislation is authorizing 

legislation that affects direct spending 

or revenues, and appropriations 

legislation that affects direct spending 

in the years beyond the budget year or 

affects revenues in any year.2 For a more 

complete description of the Statutory 

PAYGO Act, see the OMB Web site, 

http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/paygo_

description, and Chapter 9, ‘‘Budget 

Concepts,’’ of the Analytical 

Perspectives volume of the 2015 Budget, 

http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/

default/files/omb/budget/fy2015/assets/

concepts.pdf. 

The 5-year and 10-year PAYGO 

scorecards for each Congressional 

session begin with the balances of costs 

or savings carried over from previous 

sessions and then tally the costs or 

savings of PAYGO laws enacted in that 

session. The 5-year PAYGO scorecard 

for the second session of the 113th 

Congress began with balances of savings 

of $9,969 million in 2015 and $814 

million in 2017, but with balances of 

costs of $1,066 million in 2016 and $25 

million in 2018. The completed 5-year 

scorecard for the session shows that 

PAYGO legislation enacted during the 

session was estimated to have PAYGO 

budgetary effects that reduced the 

deficit by an average of $626 million 

each year from 2015 through 2019.3

These new savings on the scorecard 

increased the balances of savings in 

2015 and 2017, reduced the balance of 

costs in 2016, and eliminated the 

balance of costs in 2018. 

The 10-year PAYGO scorecard for the 

second session of the 113th Congress 

began with balances of savings of $8,209 

million in each year from 2015 to 2020, 

savings of $1,838 million in 2021, 

savings of $1,128 million in 2022, and 

costs of $7 million in 2023. The 

completed 10-year scorecard for the 

session shows that PAYGO legislation 

for the session reduced the deficit by an 

average of $1,521 million each year from 

2015 through 2024. These new savings 

increased the balances of savings on the 

10-year scorecard from 2015 through 

2022 and eliminated the costs on the 

scorecard for 2023. 

In the second session of the 113th 

Congress, 54 laws were enacted that 

were determined to constitute PAYGO 

legislation. Of the 54 enacted PAYGO 

laws, 19 laws were estimated to have 

PAYGO budgetary effects (costs or 

savings) in excess of $500,000 over one 

or both of the 5-year or 10-year PAYGO 

windows. These were: 

• Consolidated Appropriations Act, 

2014, Public Law 113–76; 

• Agriculture Act of 2014, Public Law 

113–79; 

• OPM IG Act, Public Law 113–80; 

• An Act to ensure that the reduced 

annual cost-of-living adjustment to the

retired pay of members and former 

members of the Armed Forces under the 

age of 62 required by the Bipartisan 

Budget Act of 2013 will not apply to 

members or former members who first 

became members prior to January 1, 

2014, and for other purposes, Public 

Law 113–82; 

• Homeowner Flood Insurance

113–89; 

• Gabriella Miller Kids First Research 

Act, Public Law 113–94; 

• Support for the Sovereignty, 

Integrity, Democracy, and Economic 

Stability of Ukraine Act of 2014, Public 

Law 113–95; 

• Cooperative and Small Employer 

Charity Pension Flexibility Act, Public 

Law 113–97; 

• Digital Accountability and 

Transparency Act of 2014, Public Law 

113–101; 

• An Act to provide additional visas 

for the Afghan Special Immigrant Visa 

Program, and for other purposes, Public 

Law 113–160; 

• Continuing Appropriations 

Resolution, 2015, Public Law 113–164; 

• Department of Veterans Affairs 

Expiring Authorities Act of 2014, Public 

Law 113–175; 

• Preventing Sex Trafficking and 

Strengthening Families Act, Public Law 

113–183; 

• Improving Medicare Post-Acute 

Care Transformation Act of 2014, Public 

Law 113–185; 

• Consolidated and Further 

Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, 

Public Law 113–235; 

• An Act to amend certain provisions 

of the FAA Modernization and Reform 

Act of 2012, Public Law 113–243; 

• Crooked River Collaborative Water 

Security and Jobs Act of 2014, Public 

Law 113–244; 

• Federal Duck Stamp Act of 2014, 

Public Law 113–264; 

• An Act to provide for the transfer of 

naval vessels to certain foreign 

recipients, and for other purposes, 

Public Law 113–276; and 

• Carl Levin and Howard P. ‘‘Buck’’ 

McKeon National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2015, Public Law 

113–291. 

In addition to the laws identified 

above, 35 laws enacted in this session 

were estimated to have negligible 

budgetary effects on the PAYGO 

scorecards—costs or savings of less than 

$500,000 over both the 5-year and 10- 

year PAYGO windows. 

II. Budgetary Effects Excluded From the 

Scorecard Balances 

As shown on the scorecards, one law 

was enacted in the second session of the 

113th Congress with an emergency 

designation under the Statutory PAYGO 

Act: the Veterans Access, Choice, and 

Accountability Act of 2014, Public Law 

113–146. The costs of this law appear 

on the scorecard, but the costs are 

subtracted before computing the 

scorecard totals. 

In addition, five laws enacted in the 

second session of the 113th Congress 

had estimated budgetary effects on 

direct spending and revenues that are 

not included in the calculations for the 

PAYGO scorecards due to provisions in 

law excluding all or part of the law from 

section 4(d) of the Statutory Pay-AsYou-Go Act of 2010. Three laws 

included provisions excluding their 

budgetary effects from the PAYGO 

scorecards entirely: Public Law 113–93, 

Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 

2014; Public Law 113–159, Highway 

and Transportation Funding Act of 

2014; and Public Law 113–295, To 

amend the Internal Revenue Code of 

1986 to extend certain expiring 

provisions and make technical 

corrections, to amend the Internal 

Revenue Code of 1986 to provide for the 

tax treatment of ABLE accounts 

established under State programs for the 

care of family members with 

disabilities, and for other purposes. In 

addition, two laws included provisions 

excluding certain portions of those laws 

from the scorecards: Public Law 113–76, 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, 

for which Section 10001 of Division C 

was excluded from the scorecards; and 

Public Law 113–235, Consolidated and 

Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 

2015, for which Divisions M, N, O, and 

P were excluded from the scorecards.

The total net budgetary effects of all 

PAYGO legislation enacted during the 

second session of the 113th Congress on 

the five-year scorecard reduce the 

deficit by $3,129 million. This total is 

averaged over the years 2015 to 2019 on 

the 5-year PAYGO scorecard, resulting 

in savings of $626 million in each year. 

Balances carried over from prior 

sessions of the Congress create total net 

savings in 2015 of $10,595 million and 

$1,440 million in 2017. However, the 

balances carried over in 2016 create a 

net cost of $440 million in that year. 

Balances in 2018 carried over from the 

prior session add costs to the scorecard 

which lessen net savings in that year to 

$601 million. The five-year PAYGO 

window extended only through 2018 in 

the first session of the 113th Congress, 

so there were no five-year scorecard 

balances in 2019 to carry over. 

The total 10-year net impact of 

legislation enacted during the second 

session of the 113th Congress was 

savings of $15,215 million. The 10-year 

PAYGO scorecard shows the total net 

impact averaged over the 10-year 

period, resulting in savings of $1,521 

million in each year. Balances from 

prior sessions add savings to the 

scorecard which result in net savings of 

$9,730 million in 2015 through 2020, 

$3,359 million in 2021, and $2,649 

million in 2022. Balances in 2023 

carried over from the prior session add 

costs to the scorecard which lessen net 

savings in that year to $1,514 million. 

The 10-year PAYGO window extended 

only through 2023 in the first session of 

the 113th Congress, so there were no 10- 

year scorecard balances in 2024 to carry 

over.

IV. Sequestration Order 

As shown on the scorecards, the 

budgetary effects of PAYGO legislation 

enacted in the second session of the 

113th Congress, combined with the 

balances left on the scorecard from 

previous sessions of the Congress, 

resulted in net savings on both the 5- 

year and the 10-year scorecard in the 

budget year, which is 2015 for the 

purposes of this Report. Because the 

costs for the budget year, as shown on 

the scorecards, do not exceed savings 

for the budget year, there is no ‘‘debit’’ 

on either scorecard under section 3 of 

the PAYGO Act, 2 U.S.C. 932, and there 

is no need for a sequestration order. 

The savings shown on the scorecards 

for 2015 will be removed from the 

scorecards that are used to record the 

budgetary effects of PAYGO legislation 

enacted in the first session of the 114th 

Congress. The totals shown in 2016 

through 2024 will remain on the 

scorecards and will be used in 

determining whether a sequestration 

order will be necessary in the future. All 

of the years of the 5-year and 10-year 

scorecards that will carry over into the 

first session of the 114th Congress will 

show balances of savings except for the 

year 2016 on the 5-year scorecard, 

which will show costs of $440 million. 

Because 2016 will be the budget year in 

the first session of the 114th Congress, 

if the costs in that year on the 5-year 

scorecard are not offset by savings from 

PAYGO legislation enacted during the 

session, the PAYGO Act would require 

a sequestration order to be issued 14 

days after the end of the session.
