                                 H.R. 1731
                           RECLAIM Act of 2017

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on June 27, 2017


SUMMARY

H.R. 1731 would require the Secretary of the Interior to disburse $200 million a year
through 2021 from the Abandoned Mine Reclamation fund to certain states and tribes.
Those amounts would be in addition to amounts that will already be distributed from that
fund to state and tribes under current law. The bill also would increase the minimum
payment each eligible state would receive each year from $3 million to $5 million. CBO
estimates that enacting H.R. 1731 would increase direct spending by $1.04 billion over
the 2018-2027 period; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting the bill would
not affect revenues.

CBO also estimates it would cost $2 million over the 2018-2022 period to move the
headquarters of the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), as directed in the bill.
Such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1731 would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 1731 would impose no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local,
or tribal governments.
