As ordered reported by the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
on April 27, 2012
H.R. 4482 would make permanent the authority of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to guarantee adjustable-rate mortgages and hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages (that is, mortgages with a rate that is fixed for an initial period and adjustable thereafter). Subsidy costs of those additional loan guarantees—totaling $144 million over the 2013-2022 period—would be paid from a mandatory appropriation; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply.

H.R. 4222 would require the Secretary of the Interior to place 20 acres of land into trust for the benefit of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona. Based on information provided by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), CBO estimates that implementing the bill would have no significant impact on the federal budget. Enacting H.R. 4222 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues.
