H.R. 2390 would clarify that projects to upgrade or replace cranes that were installed or maintained by the Chinese government at U.S. ports are eligible for grants under the Maritime Administration’s Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP). Those projects are typically eligible for PIDP grants under current law. Accordingly, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2390 would not affect the federal budget.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Aaron Krupkin. The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
