March 30, 2015


SUMMARY

S. 438 would establish a new Indian Irrigation Fund and transfer $35 million from the
existing Reclamation Fund into the proposed fund each year over the 2016-2037 period.
Those annual deposits, and interest credited to the unspent balances in the new fund, would
be authorized to be appropriated for maintaining Indian Irrigation projects operated by the
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) in the western United States.

Based on information from the BIA, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation
would cost $152 million over the 2016-2020 period and about $625 million after 2020.
Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct
spending or revenues.

S. 438 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).


ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
