In addition, CBO estimated the cost of a law that provides funds to support the domestic production of semiconductors and authorizes various programs and activities of the federal science agencies, the CHIPS Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-167).

Aside from cost estimates of legislation, CBO released estimates of the costs of the Presidents executive actions that suspend student loan payments and cancel some student loan debt.

Since its last quarterly report on work in progress, CBO has also released 18 reports, working papers, and other analytic products.
