The amount appropriated to NASA for 2014 is also about $17.6 billion. For the purpose of this estimate, CBO assumes that no further appropriations will be provided to NASA for fiscal year 2014 and we therefore estimate that no additional discretionary costs would result from enacting H.R. 4412. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 4412 would increase direct spending by adding about $600 million over the 2015-2024 period to outlays for certain NASA contracts.

H.R. 4412 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
