S. 1761, a bill to take certain federal land located in Lassen County, California, into trust for the benefit of the Susanville Indian Rancheria, and for other purposes
Cost Estimate
As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on October 21, 2015
S. 1761 would take into trust, for the benefit of the Susanville Indian Rancheria, approximately 301 acres of land located in Lassen County, California, and administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The bill would prohibit certain types of gaming on those lands.
CBO estimates that enacting S. 1761 would have no significant effect on the federal budget. We estimate that any change in federal costs to manage lands affected by the bill (which would be subject to appropriation) would be insignificant. Taking the affected lands into trust could affect federal receipts (which are treated as reductions in direct spending) related to existing rights of way currently administered by BLM; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Based on information from BLM, CBO estimates that any such effects would be negligible. Enacting S. 1761 would not affect revenues.
CBO estimates that enacting S. 1761 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits by more than $5 billion in any of the next four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2026.
S. 1761 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
