OMB COST ESTIMATE
FOR PAY-AS-YOU-GO CALCULATIONS

1. LAW NUMBER: P.L.106-435 (H.R. 3679)



2. BILL TITLE: 2002 Winter Olympic Commemorative Coin Act



3. BILL PURPOSE: Requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint commemorative coins in support of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games and the programs of the United States Olympic Committee.
4. OMB ESTIMATE: P.L. 106-435 requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue $5 gold coins and $1 silver coins in 2002 to commemorate the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. The Government will incur no net cost. The sales price will include a surcharge of $35 for the gold coin and $10 for the silver coin, the face value, and the cost of producing and issuing the coin. The surcharge receipts will be transferred equally to the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the Olympic Winter Games of 2002 and the United States Olympic Committee. OMB estimates that surcharges of about $6 million will be collected in FY 2002 and transferred to the recipients in FYs 2002 and 2003. In addition, the law authorizes the Secretary to obtain silver from a defense stockpile. OMB estimates that the sale of silver from the stockpile will increase offsetting collections by $2 million in FY 2002 and reduce the same amount of collections in a later year when the stockpile is depleted.
