<br>
<strong>Hurricane Aid, Debt Limit, CR Package (<a href="http://www.cq.com/bill/115/HR601" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #2BAADF;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">HR 601</a>)</strong><br>
&nbsp;<br>
<strong>FLOOR SITUATION:</strong>&nbsp;The Rules Committee has recommended a rule which makes in order a motion to concur with the Senate amendment. The measure will be managed by Chairman Frelinghuysen, R-N.J., or his designee. The Democratic manager will be Rep. Lowey, D-N.Y., or her designee.<br>
<br>
<strong>BACKGROUND:</strong>&nbsp;As originally passed by the House and later modified and passed by the Senate, HR 601 did not deal with disaster or government funding (rather, it dealt with U.S. assistance for education abroad). On Sept. 6, the House used the Senate-modified measure as a vehicle for sending to the Senate a $7.9 billion disaster supplemental, passing it by a 419-3 vote. The Senate on Sept. 7 modified the measure further to add additional disaster funding and provisions dealing with the debt limit and FY 2018 spending, passing it by an 87-10 vote.<br>
<br>
Before Hurricane Harvey hit the Gulf Coast and devastated Houston and surrounding areas, Congress was facing a daunting September with a pair of major fiscal issues that needed to be addressed: the need to raise the statutory debt limit by the end of the month, along with the need to continue funding the government at the start of the new fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1.<br>
<br>
On spending for FY 2018, a continuing resolution is necessary because there is no agreement on topline discretionary spending for FY 2018 and no spending bills have passed Congress. Congress was able to enact appropriations measures for the past four years (FY 2013-FY 2017) because of bipartisan agreements to allow higher levels of spending by partially rolling back the automatic reductions in defense and nondefense spending caps triggered by the 2011 Budget Control Act (BCA;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.cq.com/law/112/25" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #2BAADF;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;"><strong>PL 112-25</strong></a>). For FY 2018, the full reductions in defense and nondefense caps set by the BCA's sequester are scheduled to return, which would cut both categories of spending to below FY 2017 levels. But there have been no negotiations between the two parties to reach a new agreement, and with Senate Democrats able to block legislation the FY 2018 appropriations process has effectively stalled.<br>
<br>
The debt limit, meanwhile, was reset to $19.809 trillion on March 16, 2017, to match the amount of outstanding debt that had built up after the prior suspension of the debt limit expired. Since that time, the Treasury Department has been using certain "extraordinary measures" to continue borrowing to fully finance government operations and pay U.S. debt. In August, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said that the department would exhaust its ability to borrow and fully finance government operations by the end of September.<br>
<br>
<strong>Impact of Hurricane Harvey</strong><br>
&nbsp;<br>
The need to raise the debt limit and enact a CR was expected to spark a number of political battles in Congress in September, but the damage wrought by Hurricane Harvey altered Congress' plans and priorities. In response to Harvey, President Trump proposed $7.9 billion in emergency disaster aid as an initial installment of aid that is expected to eventually far surpass $100 billion, and the House on Sept. 6 passed that disaster assistance, sending it to the Senate.<br>
<br>
But the administration also warned that the high rate of spending by FEMA on disaster aid could accelerate the date at which the government could no longer finance all its activities, and it called on Congress to more quickly address the debt limit. With another major hurricane, Hurricane Irma, bearing down on Florida, President Trump on Sept. 6 endorsed a proposal by Democratic Leaders Nancy Pelosi and Charles E. Schumer to combine disaster aid and a short-term debt limit increase together into a single bill — which would temporarily remove the threat of default and allow Congress to work on other issues. At the meeting of congressional leaders at the White House that day, funding for the government into December was also added to the package.<br>
<br>
Although many conservative Republicans objected to packaging debt limit legislation together with hurricane disaster aid, GOP leaders agreed to move forward with the plan and quickly pass the combined package by the end of the week. FEMA is projected to run out of disaster funding by the weekend.<br>
<br>
<strong>SUMMARY:</strong>&nbsp;Following is a summary of the bill as passed by the Senate. House passage of the measure would clear it for the president.<br>
<br>
This bill provides $15.3 billion in emergency disaster funding to respond to damage caused by Hurricane Harvey, and it also provides FY 2018 funding for continued operations of the federal government through Dec. 8 while also suspending the statutory debt limit through that date.<br>
<br>
Among its provisions, it also extends through Dec. 8 certain authorities that would otherwise expire Sept. 30, including for the National Flood Insurance Program. It does&nbsp;<u>not</u>, however, extend the authorizations for either the Federal Aviation Administration or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) — both of which expire at the end of September.<br>
<br>
<strong>Disaster Funding</strong><br>
&nbsp;<br>
The bill appropriates $15.25 billion in supplemental funding as an initial installment of disaster funding to cover the costs of responding to Hurricane Harvey (and which can also be used to respond to future hurricanes, such as Hurricane Irma). The funding is designated as "emergency" and therefore does not count against discretionary spending caps (although the president would also have to issue an emergency designation to make the funding available).<br>
<br>
The total includes $7.4 billion, available until expended, for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Disaster Relief Fund within the Homeland Security Department, which will be used by to support ongoing response efforts — including assistance to families and individuals, emergency protective measures, the removal of debris, and activities performed by other federal agencies as assigned by FEMA.<br>
<br>
It also provides $7.4 billion for the Housing and Urban Development Department's Community Development Block Grant Program for hurricane response and recovery. Under the measure, funds would be awarded directly to state and local governments and must be used for disaster relief, long-term recovery, restoration of infrastructure and housing, and economic revitalization in the most impacted and distressed areas. State and local governments could use 5% of the funding they receive for administrative costs.<br>
<br>
Finally, it includes $450 million for the Small Business Administration's (SBA) disaster loan program to assist small businesses and homeowners. Of that amount, $225 million could be used for SBA administrative expenses to carry out the disaster loan program.<br>
<br>
<strong>Continuing Resolution</strong><br>
&nbsp;<br>
The bill continues funding for federal government operations for the first 11 weeks of FY 2018 — through Dec. 8.<br>
<br>
Under the measure, that funding would be at FY 2017 rates reduced by 0.6791% for most programs and activities. Accounts&nbsp;<u>not</u>&nbsp;subject to that across-the-board cut include Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) and disaster relief funding, Social Security Administration continuing disability reviews, and Health and Human Services Department health care fraud and abuse control activities.<br>
<br>
It continues through Dec. 8 all authorities, requirements and limitations included in FY 2017 appropriations laws, and allows payments for appropriated entitlements and other mandatory spending to occur for up to 30 days after Dec. 8. It continues emergency wildland firefighting funds for the Agriculture and Interior departments, and allows those funds to be used for repaying unrelated department accounts from which funds were transferred for wildfire suppression costs.<br>
<br>
Given the uncertainty of final funding decisions for FY 2018 that are not expected to be made until later this year, it requires that the funding authority be implemented by agencies so that only the most limited funding action is taken to continue existing projects and activities, and it bars the Defense Department from starting new programs or entering into multi-year contracts or increasing production rates.<br>
<br>
It directs that for programs that usually have high initial rates of operation or that completely distribute funding at the beginning of a fiscal year, those high initial rates are not to occur and no grants may be awarded that would impinge on final funding decisions. It does, however, allow federal departments and agencies to apportion funding for civilian federal worker compensation and benefits at the rate needed to avoid furloughs.<br>
<br>
<em><strong>Modified Funding Provisions</strong></em><br>
<br>
The bill modifies the funding levels for certain programs and activities for the duration of the CR. Those modifications include the following:
<ul>
	<li style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"><strong>Commodity Assistance Programs</strong>&nbsp;— $317 million for Commodity Assistance Programs within the Agriculture Department, of which $238 million would be for the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, to offset food price increases and ensure that no current recipients are removed from the program.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"><strong>Census Bureau</strong>&nbsp;— Permits the Census Bureau to keep preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census on schedule and on budget.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"><strong>Drought Assistance</strong>&nbsp;— Allows the Bureau of Reclamation to provide emergency drought assistance from prior year appropriations.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"><strong>District of Columbia</strong>&nbsp;— Allows the District of Columbia to spend local funds for certain federally supported programs through Dec. 8 at the rates proposed by the District's FY 2017 budget request.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"><strong>Homeland Security Operations</strong>&nbsp;— Permits Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Transportation Security Administration, and the Secret Service to maintain the operational staffing levels in place on Sept. 30, 2017. It also extends the Coast Guard's expediting hiring authority for acquisition personnel.</li>
</ul>
<em><strong>Program Extensions</strong></em><br>
<br>
The bill extends for two years, until Sept. 30, 2019, the authority for five federal agencies to collect and expend recreation fees on the public lands they manage: the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the Interior Department, and the U.S. Forest Service in the Agriculture Department.<br>
<br>
It extends for five years, until Sept. 30, 2022, the Veterans Affairs Department's (VA) authority to use unobligated construction account balances to renovate and repair VA facilities damaged by Superstorm Sandy in 2013.<br>
<br>
It also extends through Dec. 8 the National Flood Insurance Program and EPA's authority to collect fees under the Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act, and it continues funding authorities for certain mandatory programs that are financed through appropriations bills — including the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps).<br>
<br>
<strong>Debt Limit</strong><br>
&nbsp;<br>
The bill suspends the limit on public debt for three months — through Dec. 8 — which would allow the government to borrow whatever it needs through that time to fully finance government operations.<br>
<br>
Under the measure, on Dec. 9, 2017, a new statutory debt limit would automatically be re-established and be set at the increased level that reflects the extent to which additional federal borrowing had occurred in order to make payments up to that point on government obligations.<br>
<br>
The measure expressly bars the Treasury Department from using the suspension of the debt limit to build up cash balances above normal operating balances.<br>
<br>
<strong>READ Act</strong><br>
&nbsp;<br>
The bill also retains the original legislation, first considered by the House in January, which codifies and defines many of the existing programs and practices of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) relating to U.S. education assistance abroad.<br>
<br>
It requires the United States to work with partner countries and other donors and organizations and align with the needs and capacities of partner countries using a holistic assistance strategy. Under the measure, the president must develop a comprehensive strategy to improve educational opportunities in other countries and establish measurable goals that demonstrate progress made by the education programs.<br>
<br>
It also establishes the position of senior coordinator within USAID to coordinate federal efforts to improve basic education in other countries.<br>
