 U,                         COST ESTIMATE
                                                             September 13, 2017


                                 H.R. 2423
          Washington County, Utah, Public Lands Management
                             Implementation Act

          As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources
                                on July 26, 2017


H.R. 2423 would direct the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to issue the necessary
rights-of-way to allow for the construction of a road north of St. George, Utah. The bill also
would direct the agency to authorize the development of utilities in the Red Cliffs National
Conservation Area.

Under H.R. 2423, BLM would not charge Washington County for any rights-of-way issued
for the construction of a road because rights-of-way for activities that do not generate
income are exempt from such fees. However, any rights-of-way issued for the construction
of utilities would be subject to fees. Based on information provided by BLM, CBO
estimates that any fees associated with the development of utilities in Washington County
would total less than $500,000 over the 2018-2027 period.

Because enacting the bill could increase offsetting receipts, which are treated as reductions
in direct spending, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting the bill would not affect
revenues.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2423 would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 2423 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal
governments. The bill would benefit the City of St. George in Washington County, Utah,
by granting rights-of-way for the construction of a parkway through federal lands.

The CBO staff contacts for this estimate are Jeff LaFave (for federal costs) and Jon Sperl
(for intergovernmental mandates). The estimate was approved by H. Samuel Papenfuss,
Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
