              Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia
                      Federal Recognition Act of 2015

   As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on March 18, 2015


SUMMARY

S. 465 would provide federal recognition to six Indian tribes in Virginia-the
Chickahominy Indian Tribe, the Eastern Division of the Chickahominy Indian Tribe, the
Upper Mattaponi Tribe, the Rappahannock Tribe, Inc., the Monacan Indian Nation, and the
Nansemond Indian Tribe. Federal recognition would make the tribes eligible to receive
benefits from various federal programs.

CBO estimates that implementing this legislation would cost $78 million over the
2016-2020 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary funds. Enacting S. 465 would
not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

S. 465 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).


ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

The estimated budgetary effect of S. 465 is shown in the following table. The costs of this
legislation fall within budget functions 450 (community and regional development) and 550
(health).
