[Sec. 106] designates December 11, 2026, as the funding cutoff date. Currently, no full-year fiscal year 2027 appropriations acts have been enacted for the accounts covered by this Act. This provision would fund those accounts at fiscal year 2026 rates until the earlier of enactment of full-year appropriations or December 11, 2026.

[Secs. 117–118] continues USDA nutrition assistance apportionment authority. Currently, WIC and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program operate under fiscal year 2026 funding levels. This provision would permit apportionment at the rate needed to maintain current WIC participation and current Commodity Supplemental Food Program caseload through the Act's funding period.

[Sec. 143] appropriates $75,774,000 and $8,296,000 in additional amounts for Indian Health Service services and facilities, respectively. Currently, base IHS funding does not separately account for facilities opened, renovated, or expanded in fiscal years 2022, 2026, and 2027. This provision would add funds specifically to staff and operate those facilities.

[Sec. 153, 156] modifies two HUD programs. Sec. 153 amends Tenant-Based Rental Assistance rules to permit use of unobligated prior-year balances, including new authority to convert emergency housing vouchers for units under lease as of September 30, 2026, to prevent termination of rental assistance. Sec. 156 repeals an existing HUD program section and creates new authority for the Secretary to satisfy "Flex Sub loan" indebtedness for qualifying small affordable-housing properties (fewer than 100 units, nonprofit-owned, minimum inspection/management scores), appropriating $6,258,174.91 for that purpose. Note: Implementation details for the Sec. 156 loan-satisfaction terms are subject to agency rulemaking and require human review.

[Sec. 157] prohibits, through December 11, 2026, the issuance or finalization of a rule revising the "Uniform Guidance" governing federal financial assistance, arising from a Federal Register notice published May 29, 2026, or "a substantially similar rule." Currently, that rulemaking is pending. This provision would pause its finalization or, if already finalized, suspend its effect, through the Act's funding period. Note: The phrase "substantially similar rule" is undefined and requires human review.

[Division C, Secs. 3101–3104] extends federal surface transportation program authorities (highway, transit, safety) that would otherwise expire September 30, 2026, through December 11, 2026, and authorizes a pro-rated ("extension fraction") share of fiscal year 2026 funding levels for fiscal year 2027 for each covered program.

[Division D] extends approximately 25 separate VA statutory authorities from a September 30, 2026, expiration to December 11, 2026, and appropriates specific pro-rated dollar amounts for several mandatory-funding programs (e.g., rural veterans mental health grants, family caregiver mental health support, homeless veterans housing programs, adaptive sports for disabled veterans) to cover the October 1–December 11, 2026 gap period.

Total budget authority: $1,700,879 million (~$1.70 trillion)

Total outlays: $1,869,190 million (~$1.87 trillion)

Of this, security (defense) spending accounts for $907,917 million in budget authority; nonsecurity spending accounts for $758,854 million, plus $26,617 million in disaster-designated, $3,104 million in program-integrity-designated, and $2,850 million in wildfire-suppression-designated spending, and $1,537 million in emergency-designated spending (EPA Superfund).

These figures are annualized — estimated as if the CR's rates applied for the full fiscal year — not the actual amount that will be spent during the Act's shorter real-world window (through Dec. 11, 2026).

Sec. 2006 (Northern Mariana Islands disaster relief): +$21 million in outlays, 2026–2036

Sec. 2007 (Medicare Improvement Fund): -$21 million in outlays, 2026–2036

Sec. 2010 (Customs user fee extension): -$786 million in outlays, 2026–2036 (concentrated in 2032)

Sec. 2014 (Technology Modernization Fund extension): +$15 million in outlays, 2026–2036

Sec. 4405 (Plot allowances extension): +$1 million in outlays, 2026–2036

Total direct spending change, Divisions B–D: -$770 million in outlays over 2026–2036

Sec. 2008 (AGOA extension): -$375 million in revenues, 2026–2036 (concentrated in 2027–2029) — this is the enacted-version AGOA revenue estimate, notably smaller than the $578 million figure in the superseded January CBO score, reflecting differences between the House-passed and enacted AGOA provisions and/or updated baseline assumptions

Sec. 2009 (Haiti Economic Lift Program extension): -$44 million in revenues, 2026–2036

Total revenue change: -$419 million, 2026–2036

Net effect on the deficit, Divisions B–D: -$351 million over 2026–2036 (i.e., a net decrease in the deficit)

CBO states that Division C (Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2026) would not affect direct spending or revenues, because the baseline already assumes expiring programs continue at their prior rate.

CBO states other provisions in Divisions B and D would change direct spending/revenues by less than $500,000 in any year — not separately itemized.

Per Sec. 2018 of the enacted Act, these Division B–D budgetary effects are excluded from statutory and Senate PAYGO scorecards despite otherwise being subject to PAYGO procedures.

Section 156(b)(2) delegates implementation to agency discretion. Reason for review flag: the Secretary "may set such terms and conditions as the Secretary determines are appropriate," without further statutory parameters. Recommended action: verify against forthcoming HUD program guidance before publication.

Section 130(a) / 131(a) delegate implementation to agency discretion. Reason for review flag: DOE/NNSS spending is authorized "at the rate needed" for specified projects without a numeric cap, subject only to a 3-day post-use notification requirement rather than pre-approval. Recommended action: verify against OMB/DOE notifications to House and Senate Appropriations Committees.

Section 109 contains conditional language creating multiple possible outcomes. Reason for review flag: high-initial-rate distributions to states/grantees are barred only to the extent they would "impinge on final funding prerogatives," a standard not defined in the bill text. Recommended action: verify against OMB apportionment guidance.

Sections 125, 150, 151, 154, 155 (rescind-and-replace mechanisms) state amounts as "unobligated balances as of September 30, 2026" rather than fixed dollar figures, and are not broken out individually in the CBO score (Division A figures are presented as subcommittee totals, not line-itemized to these sections). Reason for review flag: exact dollar totals for these specific mechanisms are not independently determinable from either the bill text or the CBO estimate as sourced. Recommended action: verify against Treasury/OMB apportionment records before citing specific totals for these sections.

Section 101(6) / Homeland Security immigration provisions (per CBO footnote f): CBO notes this section extends several immigration programs with resulting revenue effects "insignificant" in size but directionally mixed — the Conrad-30 waiver extension is estimated to reduce revenues, while the religious-worker visa extension is estimated to increase revenues. Reason for review flag: CBO characterizes both effects as insignificant/unquantified rather than providing dollar figures. Recommended action: note as directionally mixed, insignificant-magnitude effects if referenced; do not assign a dollar figure.

The bill text as enrolled does not carry the fiscal profile described in CBO's January 20, 2026 estimate. That estimate scored the original House-passed AGOA Extension Act — a version of H.R. 6500 entirely replaced by the Senate before enactment. The correct CBO score for the enacted Act is CBO's August 5, 2026 estimate, "The Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027." Any fiscal figures attributed to "the CBO score for H.R. 6500" without specifying which estimate should be treated as ambiguous and checked against the August 5 document.

The bill text does not contain a standalone Africa Growth and Opportunity Act bill. Public discourse referencing "H.R. 6500" in connection with AGOA reflects the bill's original House-passed form; the Senate replaced that text entirely, retaining the AGOA extension only as Sec. 2008, one provision within a much larger enacted package. No standalone AGOA-only measure appears in H.R. 6500 as enrolled.

The bill text does not contain any provision addressing the federal debt limit. No debt-limit provision appears in H.R. 6500 as enrolled, and none is addressed in the CBO cost estimate for the enacted Act.
