                                  H.R. 3279
                       Helium Extraction Act of 2017

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


SUMMARY

H.R. 3279 would allow firms to retain federal oil and gas leases that would otherwise
expire for the purpose of extracting helium. Based on information provided by the Bureau
of Land Management (BLM) and firms operating in the mineral extraction industry, CBO
estimates that enacting the bill would increase offsetting receipts, which are treated as
reductions in direct spending, by $9 million over the 2018-2027 period. Because enacting
the bill would affect direct spending, pay-as-you procedures apply. Enacting the bill
would not affect revenues.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3279 would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 3279 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
