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.

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 117–110, Suspending Normal Trade Relations with Russia and Belarus Act; • Public Law 117–128, Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022; • Public Law 117–139, RECA Extension Act of 2022; • Public Law 117–158, Keep Kids Fed Act of 2022; • Public Law 117–160, Formula Act; • Public Law 117–168, Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022; • Public Law 117–169, To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of S.

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 PO 00000 Frm 00081 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 117-110, Suspending Normal Trade Relations with

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;

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\
