The National Institute of Standards and Technology will receive a $1.1 billion appropriation for fiscal year 2019 after the House’s authorization of bill H.R. 6229.

The House Committee on Science, Space and Technology announced on June 27 the approval of the NIST Reauthorization Act of 2018, the Congressional Budget Office said Monday.

H.R. 6229 includes specific initiatives for the agency’s execution and does not involve intergovernmental or private-sector orders defined by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

The pay-as-you-go procedure for revenues and direct spending is not required for the reauthorization.

Estimates from CBO note that the $1.1 billion implementation cost will cover the period from 2019 to 2023 and the enactment of the bill will not affect the direct spending and on-budget deficits in the four subsequent 10-year periods from 2029.

NIST, which supports the development of technologies, sciences and standards to facilitate U.S. industrial competitiveness, received $1.2 billion in 2018.

The House on Tuesday passed three resolutions that seek to advance stable military funding by condemning the use of continuing resolutions that serve as stop-gap funding measures if Congress fails to approve appropriations bills prior to the start of another fiscal year in October, Defense News reported Tuesday.

House Armed Services Committee members Reps. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo.; Rob Wittman, R-Va.; and Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., introduced the resolutions.

“The House has now voted to reject doing further damage this fall and to fully fund our military on time for the first time in a decade,” HASC Chairman Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, said in a statement.

“There is a concern of us having another CR since the House has passed a defense appropriations bill,” Wittman said.

The passage of the resolutions came a week after the scheduled congressional negotiations to reconcile the two versions of fiscal 2019 defense spending bills were called off due to a disagreement over funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
