H.R. 5205
Northern Nevada Land Conservation and Economic Development Act
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on July 30, 2014
SUMMARY
H.R. 5205 would require the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to convey certain
federal lands in Nevada to other government entities. The bill also would designate 73,500
acres as wilderness. Finally, the bill would require the Secretary of the Interior to take
certain lands into trust for the benefit of the Te-moak Tribe. Based on information provided
by the affected agencies and assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO
estimates that implementing the bill would cost less than $500,000. In addition, CBO
estimates that enacting H.R. 5205 would increase offsetting receipts, which are treated as
reductions in direct spending, by $2 million in 2015; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures
apply. Enacting the legislation would not affect revenues.
H.R. 5205 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. Conveyances of federal land authorized in the bill would
benefit cities and counties in Nevada. Any costs to those entities would be incurred
voluntarily as conditions of land conveyances. The Te-moak Tribe of the Western
Shoshone Indians of Nevada would benefit from federal land being taken into trust by the
federal government on their behalf.
ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Title I, Pine Forest Range Recreation Enhancement Act
Title I would designate 26,000 acres of land in northwest Nevada as the Pine Forest Range
Wilderness. The bill also would authorize the Secretary of the Interior to conduct certain
land exchanges. Based on information provided by BLM, CBO estimates that
implementing title I would have no significant effect on the federal budget.
