CBO estimates that H.R. 8255 would not affect direct spending or revenues. H.R. 8255 would affirm the status of approximately 17 acres of land in North Carolina taken into trust by Department of the Interior for the benefit of the Catawba Indian Nation. The legislation also would allow the tribe to operate a gaming facility on that land. If enacted, H.R. 8255 would affect spending subject to appropriation by the Bureau of Indian Affairs; CBO has not completed an estimate of that effect.
