Each paragraph in [section 936(f)(1) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title2-section936/f/1&num=0&edition=prelim) shall be considered a separate subsection for purposes of this section.

The OMB estimate shall be based on the approaches to scorekeeping set forth in [section 639 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title2-section639&num=0&edition=prelim), as amended by this title,33 See References in Text note below. and subsection (g)(4), and shall use the same economic and technical assumptions as used in the most recent budget submitted by the President under [section 1105(a) of title 31](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title31-section1105/a&num=0&edition=prelim).

(2) **Designation in the House of Representatives** — If a PAYGO Act includes a provision expressly designated as an emergency for the purposes of this chapter, the Chair shall put the question of consideration with respect thereto.

Any such motion in the Senate shall be debatable. In any case in which such point of order is sustained against a conference report (or Senate amendment derived from such conference report by operation of this subsection), no further amendment shall be in order.
