           Black  Hills National Cemetery   Boundary   Expansion   Act

           As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources
                                 on March 14, 2018


 S. 35 would require the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to transfer 200 acres of land
 to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to expand a national cemetery. CBO
 estimates that any costs incurred by VA to cover administrative expenses associated with
 the transfer and make improvements to the Black Hills National Cemetery would not be
 significant.

 Under S. 35, the affected lands would be withdrawn from mining and mineral leasing
 activities. Using information provided by BLM, CBO expects that those activities would
 not occur over the next 10 years, and we estimate that withdrawing the lands would not
 affect the federal budget. Because enacting S. 35 would not affect direct spending or
 revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

 CBO  estimates that enacting S. 35 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
 deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

 S. 35 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

 On April 7, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 35, the Black Hills National
 Cemetery Boundary Expansion Act, as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on
 Energy and Natural Resources on March 30, 2017. The pieces of legislation are similar
 and CBO's estimates of their budgetary effects are the same.

 The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Jeff LaFave. The estimate was approved by
 H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
