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 enacted
during the second session of the 117th

Congress and presents the 5-year and
10-year PAYGO scorecards maintained
by OMB.1 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 2023,2 a
sequestration order under subsection
5(b) of the PAYGO Act, 2 U.S.C 934(b)
is not required.
The budget year balance on each of
the PAYGO scorecards is zero because
the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2023 (Pub. L. 117–328) shifted the
debits on both scorecards from fiscal
year 2023 to fiscal year 2025. The
change directed by Public Law 117–328
is discussed in more detail in section IV
of this report.
During the second session of the
117th Congress, no laws with PAYGO
effects were enacted with emergency
requirements under section 4(g) of the
PAYGO Act, 2 U.S.C. 933(g). Seven laws
had estimated budgetary effects on
direct spending and/or revenues that
were excluded from the calculations of
the PAYGO scorecards due to
provisions excluding all or part of the
law from section 4(d) of the PAYGO
Act, 2 U.S.C. 933(d).
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 after the budget year or
affects revenues in any year.3 For a more
complete description of the Statutory
PAYGO Act, see Chapter 8, ‘‘Budget
Concepts,’’ of the Analytical
Perspectives volume of the 2023
President’s Budget, found on the
website of the U.S. Government Printing
Office (https://www.govinfo.gov/app/
collection/budget/2023/BUDGET-2023PER).
The PAYGO Act’s requirement of
deficit neutrality is based on two
scorecards that tally the cumulative
budgetary effects of PAYGO legislation
1 This report encompasses laws enacted between
January 3, 2022 at noon and January 3, 2023 at
11:57 a.m. (Pub. L. 117–82 through Pub. L. 117–
328).
2 References to years on the PAYGO scorecards
are to fiscal years.
3 Provisions in appropriations acts that affect
direct spending in the years after 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.

as averaged over rolling 5- and 10- year
periods starting with the budget year.
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 the
most recent session.
The 5-year PAYGO scorecard for the
second session of the 117th Congress
began with balances of $741,265 million
in 2023 and $370,633 million per year
for 2024–2026. The 10-year PAYGO
scorecard for the second session of the
117th Congress began with balances of
$374,039 million in 2023 and $187,020
million per year for 2024–2031.
Laws enacted during the second
session of the 117th Congress created
balances on the 5- and 10-year
scorecards of $72,505 million and
$55,709 million in each year,
respectively. Public Law 117–328
shifted the fiscal year 2023 debits on
both scorecards to fiscal year 2025.
Therefore, the 2023 balance on both the
5- and 10-year scorecards is zero. There
are balances on the 5-year scorecard of
$443,138 million in 2024, $1,256,908
million in 2025, $443,138 million in
2026, and $72,505 million in 2027.
There are balances on the 10-year
scorecard of $242,729 million in 2024,
$672,477 million in 2025, $242,729
million per year for 2026–2031, and
$55,709 million in 2032.
In the second session of the 117th
Congress, 55 laws were enacted that
were determined to constitute PAYGO
legislation. Of the 55 enacted PAYGO
laws, 15 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:
• Public Law 117–103, Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2022;
• Public Law 117–108, Postal Service
Reform Act of 2022;
• Public Law 117–109, Ending

II. Budgetary Effects Excluded From the
Scorecard Balances
A. Legislation Designated as Emergency
Requirements
No laws were enacted in the second
session of the 117th Congress with an
emergency designation under the
Statutory PAYGO Act.
B. Statutory Provisions Excluding
Legislation From the Scorecards
Seven laws enacted in the second
session of the 117th Congress had
estimated budgetary effects on direct
spending and revenues that were
excluded from the calculations for the
PAYGO scorecards due to provisions in
law excluding all or part of the law from
section 4(d) of the PAYGO Act.
All of the budgetary effects in 4 laws
were excluded from the scorecards:

the second session of the 117th
Congress, and for determining whether
a sequestration order is necessary under
such section, the debit for the budget
year on the 5-year scorecard, if any, and
the 10-year scorecard, if any, shall be
deducted from such scorecards in 2023
and added to such scorecards in 2025.’’
Accordingly, both the 5- and 10-year
scorecards deduct the debit from 2023
and add that debit to 2025.
Section 1001(d)(2) of division O of
Public Law 117–328 directs that, at the
end of the first session of the 118th
Congress, any debits on the scorecards
in 2024 be deducted from 2024 and
added to 2025. That action will be
reflected in next year’s report if such
debits exist.
V. Sequestration Order
As shown on the scorecards, the
budgetary effects of PAYGO legislation
enacted in the second session of the
117th Congress, combined with section
1001(d)(1) of division O of Public Law
117–328, resulted in no costs on either
the 5-year or the 10-year scorecard in
the budget year, which is 2023 for the
purposes of this Report. Because the
costs for the budget year, as shown on
the scorecards, were set to zero for the
budget year, there is no ‘‘debit’’ on
either scorecard under section 3 of the
PAYGO Act, 2 U.S.C. 932, and a
sequestration order is not required.4

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
response to U.S. Government
Accountability Office (GAO)
recommendations in the report GAO–
21–130 Federal Research: Agencies
Need to Enhance Policies to Address
Foreign Influence, NASA is taking steps
to address undue foreign influence in
research and ensure responsible
stewardship of taxpayer dollars. NASA
is proposing a new policy that requires
financial assistance award recipients to
(1) maintain written and enforced
policies that require covered individuals
to disclose COI and COC to the recipient
entity; (2) eliminate or, where
appropriate, manage or reduce the
disclosed conflict; and (3) disclose to
NASA any conflict that cannot be
eliminated, managed, or reduced.
NASA’s policy also describes how the
Agency will address disclosures and the
enforcement actions the Agency may
take if a covered individual knowingly
fails to disclose required information.
The policy is accompanied by a term
and condition requiring award
recipients to comply with the COI and
COC disclosure requirements that will
be placed into all NASA financial
assistance awards after the policy is
implemented.
The policy will be implemented as a
revision to GCAM section 3.3, Conflicts
of Interest Policy, and the term and
condition will be implemented as an

addition to NASA’s standard grant and
cooperative agreement terms and
conditions template located in GCAM,
Appendix D, Award Terms and
Conditions. The full text of the policy
and term and condition is provided
below.
The GCAM, section 3.3, Conflicts of
Interest Policy, will be revised in its
entirety as follows:
[Begin Provision]
1. For the purposes of section 3.3, the
following definitions apply:
a. The term ‘‘conflict of interest,’’ or
‘‘COI,’’ means a situation in which an
individual, or the individual’s spouse or
dependent children, has a significant
financial interest or financial
relationship, whether with a domestic
or foreign entity, that could directly and
significantly affect the design, conduct,
reporting, or funding of research or
other award-related activities. Examples
of potential COI include, but are not
limited to, holding an executive
position, director position, or equity
over a certain dollar amount in a
company that stands to benefit from
award-related activities, receiving
financial compensation in the form of
consulting payments or payment for
services from a company that stands to
benefit from award-related activities, or
intellectual property rights or royalties
from such rights whose value may be
affected by the outcome of awardrelated activities.
b. The term ‘‘conflict of
commitment,’’ or ‘‘COC,’’ means a nonfinancial conflict of interest in which an
individual accepts or incurs conflicting
obligations, whether domestic or
foreign, between or among multiple
employers or other entities. COC
includes conflicting commitments of
time and effort, including obligations to
dedicate time in excess of institutional
or funding agency policies or
commitments. COC also includes
obligations to improperly share
information with, or to withhold
information from, an employer or
NASA, as well as other conflicting
obligations that threaten research
security and integrity. Examples of
potential COC include, but are not
limited to, current or pending
employment; positions, appointments,
or affiliations such as titled academic,
professional, or institutional
appointments, whether remuneration is
received and whether full-time, parttime, or voluntary (including adjunct,
visiting, or honorary positions); and
participation in or applications to
foreign government-sponsored talent
recruitment or similar programs.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
Notice; 2022 Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act Annual Report
AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This report is being published as required by the Statutory
Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) Act of 2010. The Act requires that OMB issue an
annual report and a sequestration order, if necessary.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Erin O'Brien. 202-395-3106.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This report can be found at https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/paygo/.
Authority: 2 U.S.C. 934.
Kelly A. Kinneen,
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 enacted during the second session of the 117th Congress and
presents the 5-year and 10-year PAYGO scorecards maintained by OMB.\1\
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 2023,\2\
a sequestration order under subsection 5(b) of the PAYGO Act, 2 U.S.C
934(b) is not required.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ This report encompasses laws enacted between January 3, 2022
at noon and January 3, 2023 at 11:57 a.m. (Pub. L. 117-82 through
Pub. L. 117-328).
\2\ References to years on the PAYGO scorecards are to fiscal
years.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The budget year balance on each of the PAYGO scorecards is zero
because the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117-328)
shifted the debits on both scorecards from fiscal year 2023 to fiscal
year 2025. The change directed by Public Law 117-328 is discussed in
more detail in section IV of this report.
During the second session of the 117th Congress, no laws with PAYGO
effects were enacted with emergency requirements under section 4(g) of
the PAYGO Act, 2 U.S.C. 933(g). Seven laws had estimated budgetary
effects on direct spending and/or revenues that were excluded from the
calculations of the PAYGO scorecards due to provisions excluding all or
part of the law from section 4(d) of the PAYGO Act, 2 U.S.C. 933(d).
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 after the budget year or affects revenues
in any year.\3\ For a more complete description of the Statutory PAYGO
Act, see Chapter 8, ``Budget Concepts,'' of the Analytical Perspectives
volume of the 2023 President's Budget, found on the website of the U.S.
Government Printing Office (https://www.govinfo.gov/app/collection/budget/2023/BUDGET-2023-PER).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Provisions in appropriations acts that affect direct
spending in the years after 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The PAYGO Act's requirement of deficit neutrality is based on two
scorecards that tally the cumulative budgetary effects of PAYGO
legislation as averaged over rolling 5- and 10- year periods starting
with the budget year. 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 the most recent session.
The 5-year PAYGO scorecard for the second session of the 117th
Congress began with balances of $741,265 million in 2023 and $370,633
million per year for 2024-2026. The 10-year PAYGO scorecard for the
second session of the 117th Congress began with balances of $374,039
million in 2023 and $187,020 million per year for 2024-2031.
Laws enacted during the second session of the 117th Congress
created balances on the 5- and 10-year scorecards of $72,505 million
and $55,709 million in each year, respectively. Public Law 117-328
shifted the fiscal year 2023 debits on both scorecards to fiscal year
2025. Therefore, the 2023 balance on both the 5- and 10-year scorecards
is zero. There are balances on the 5-year scorecard of $443,138 million
in 2024, $1,256,908 million in 2025, $443,138 million in 2026, and
$72,505 million in 2027. There are balances on the 10-year scorecard of
$242,729 million in 2024, $672,477 million in 2025, $242,729 million
per year for 2026-2031, and $55,709 million in 2032.
In the second session of the 117th Congress, 55 laws were enacted
that were determined to constitute PAYGO legislation. Of the 55 enacted
PAYGO laws, 15 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:
Public Law 117-103, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022;
Public Law 117-108, Postal Service Reform Act of 2022;
Public Law 117-109, Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act;

Public Law 117-180, Continuing Appropriations and Ukraine

Public Law 117-263, James M. Inhofe National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023; and
Public Law 117-328, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023.
In addition to the laws identified above, 40 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
A. Legislation Designated as Emergency Requirements
No laws were enacted in the second session of the 117th Congress
with an emergency designation under the Statutory PAYGO Act.
B. Statutory Provisions Excluding Legislation From the Scorecards
Seven laws enacted in the second session of the 117th Congress had
estimated budgetary effects on direct spending and revenues that were
excluded from the calculations for the PAYGO scorecards due to
provisions in law excluding all or part of the law from section 4(d) of
the PAYGO Act.
All of the budgetary effects in 4 laws were excluded from the
scorecards:
Public Law 117-86, Further Additional Extending Government
Funding Act;
Public Law 117-159, Bipartisan Safer Communities Act;
Public Law 117-264, Further Additional Continuing
Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2023; and
Public Law 117-167, Making appropriations for Legislative
Branch for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, and for other
purposes.
In addition, certain portions of the budgetary effects in 3 laws
were excluded from the scorecards:
Public Law 117-103, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022;
Public Law 117-229, Further Continuing Appropriations and
Extensions Act, 2023; and
Public Law 117-328, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023.

IV. Legislative Revisions to the PAYGO Scorecards
Section 1001(d)(1) of division O of Public Law 117-328, the
Consolidated Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2023, states, ``For the
purposes of the annual report issued pursuant to section 5 of the
Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (2 U.S.C. 934) after adjournment of
[[Page 5930]]
the second session of the 117th Congress, and for determining whether a
sequestration order is necessary under such section, the debit for the
budget year on the 5-year scorecard, if any, and the 10-year scorecard,
if any, shall be deducted from such scorecards in 2023 and added to
such scorecards in 2025.'' Accordingly, both the 5- and 10-year
scorecards deduct the debit from 2023 and add that debit to 2025.
Section 1001(d)(2) of division O of Public Law 117-328 directs
that, at the end of the first session of the 118th Congress, any debits
on the scorecards in 2024 be deducted from 2024 and added to 2025. That
action will be reflected in next year's report if such debits exist.
V. Sequestration Order
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Sequestration reductions pursuant to the Balanced Budget and
Deficit Control Act (BBEDCA) Section 251A for 2023 were calculated
and ordered in a separate report and are not affected by this
determination. See: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/BBEDCA_251A_Sequestration_Report_FY2023.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As shown on the scorecards, the budgetary effects of PAYGO
legislation enacted in the second session of the 117th Congress,
combined with section 1001(d)(1) of division O of Public Law 117-328,
resulted in no costs on either the 5-year or the 10-year scorecard in
the budget year, which is 2023 for the purposes of this Report. Because
the costs for the budget year, as shown on the scorecards, were set to
zero for the budget year, there is no ``debit'' on either scorecard
under section 3 of the PAYGO Act, 2 U.S.C. 932, and a sequestration
order is not required.\4\
