Congressional Budget Office
CBO’s Role in the
Congressional Budget Process
Budget Formulation and Execution Line of Business
Fall Forum
November 1, 2016
Megan Carroll
Budget Analysis Division
1CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
CBO’s Role
2CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
CBO’s estimates are tools that the Congress
can use to implement rules and procedures
related to budget enforcement.
3CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
Those procedures and CBO’s estimates
recognize the fundamental distinction
between the three primary components of
the federal budget:
• Discretionary spending—Authority
provided in annual appropriation acts
• Mandatory (or direct) spending—
Spending controlled by laws other than
annual appropriation acts
• Revenues
4CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
How Cost Estimates Relate to Budget
Enforcement Procedures
5CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
Not all estimates are relevant to budget
enforcement procedures.
There are no budget enforcement
procedures for bills that change
authorizations of spending that is subject to
future appropriation action.
6CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
Changes in mandatory spending or
revenues are subject to pay-as-you-go
procedures.
New budget authority in annual
appropriation bills is subject to limits
specified in law.
7CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
Key Points About
CBO’s Estimates and the
Congressional Budget Process
8CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
We estimate the budgetary effects of bills
that provide spending authority or affect
revenues relative to current law, using the
perspective of the unified budget.

12CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
How Agencies Can Assist CBO
13CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
CBO consults:
• Hill staff
• Stakeholders
• Agency staff (Budget, Legislative Affairs,
program offices)
• Counterparts in the Office of Management
and Budget
• Outside experts
14CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
Open, transparent lines of communication
are vital.
15CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
The key to estimating costs of implementing
proposed legislation is identifying changes in
agency behavior:
• Are new activities required or would the
agency have discretion?
• Would legislation result in the agency
undertaking activities that it wouldn’t
otherwise pursue or in a way different
from what it would do under current law?
16CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
Preliminary, unofficial feedback helps CBO
gauge how much time the estimate will take.
Formal responses are usually not
necessary.
