                                  H.R. 336
A bill to direct the Administrator of the General Services, on behalf of the
Archivist of the United States, to convey certain Federal property located
      in the State of Alaska to the Municipality of Anchorage, Alaska

   As ordered reported by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
                                on April 15, 2015


H.R. 336 would authorize the General Services Administration (GSA), on behalf of the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to sell certain property in
Anchorage, Alaska, for its fair market value. Based on information from NARA and GSA,
CBO expects that the property will be sold under current law at some point over the next
ten years because the agency has closed its operating facilities in Alaska. Thus, CBO
estimates that enacting this legislation would have no significant effect on the federal
budget. The federal government acquired this undeveloped property in 2005 for
$3.5 million.

The legislation could accelerate the process of selling the property and the collection of
sale proceeds (which are recorded in the budget as offsetting receipts, certain collections
that are treated as offsets to direct spending). Therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply.
However, CBO estimates the effect on offsetting receipts over the 2015-2025 period would
be negligible. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.

H.R. 336 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would benefit the municipality of Anchorage,
Alaska. Any costs to the municipality resulting from the land conveyance would be
incurred voluntarily.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Matthew Pickford. The estimate was approved
by Theresa Gullo, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
