S. 748 would clarify that the Department of the Interior has the authority to take land into trust for the Lytton Rancheria of California under the Indian Reorganization Act. The bill also would deem lands that are taken into trust under that act to be part of the tribe’s reservation and administered accordingly.

Based on the cost of similar activities, CBO estimates that the administrative costs to implement S. 748 would be insignificant; any related spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Margot Berman. The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
