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

1. LAW NUMBER: P.L.106-375 (H.R. 4259)
2. BILL TITLE: National Museum of the American Indian Commemorative Coin

Act of 2000

3. BILL PURPOSE: Requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint coins in commemoration of the National Museum of the American Indian of the Smithsonian Institution.
4. OMB ESTIMATE: P.L. 106-375 requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue $1 silver coins in 2001 to commemorate the opening of the National Museum of the American Indian. The law requires the Government to incur no net cost. The sale price of the coin will include a surcharge of $10, the face value, and the cost of producing and issuing the coin. The surcharge receipts will be transferred to the museum. OMB estimates that surcharges of about $2 million will be collected in FY 2001 and transferred to the museum in FY 2002. 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 $1 million in FY 2001 and reduce the same amount of collections in a later year when the stockpile is depleted.
