                                   S. 269
      A  bill to provide for the conveyance  of certain property  to the
 Tanana  Tribal  Council  located in Tanana,  Alaska  and  to the Bristol Bay
         Area  Health  Corporation   located in Dillingham,  Alaska,
                           and  for other purposes

  As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on February 8, 2017


S. 269 would authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to convey a
parcel of land in Tanana, Alaska, to the Tanana Tribal Council (TTC) and another parcel in
Dillingham, Alaska, to the Bristol Bay Area Health Corporation (BBAHC). The
conveyances would be made by a warranty deed, which is a type of deed that guarantees a
clear title to the new owner of the property.

The Indian Self-Determination and Education Act allows tribal entities to assume
responsibility for providing health care services funded by the Indian Health Service
(IHS). The TTC, the governing body for 1,460 tribal members and the village of Tanana,
Alaska, plans to build a community wellness center under the authority of that act on the
parcel of land that would be transferred to them under this bill. The BBAHC, which has
been managing and operating the Kanakanak Hospital and the Bristol Bay Service Unit for
the IHS since 1980, plans to build a free-standing dental clinic on the other parcel that
would be transferred under this bill. According to IHS, the TTC and BBAHC currently do
not pay rent or any other remuneration to IHS for the use of these parcels. Consequently,
CBO  estimates that enacting S. 269 would not have a significant effect on the federal
budget.

Because enacting S. 269 would not affect direct spending or revenues, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting the bill would not increase net direct
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in
2028.

S. 269 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Robert Stewart. The estimate was approved by
Holly Harvey, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
