                                  H.R.   487
               A  bill to allow the Miami  Tribe  of Oklahoma
                      to lease or transfer certain  lands

   As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on October 7, 2015


H.R. 487 would authorize the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma to lease, sell, warrant, or
otherwise transfer any tribal property that is not held in trust by the federal government for
the benefit of the tribe. Based on information provided by the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
CBO  estimates that implementing the legislation would have no effect on the federal
budget.

Enacting H.R. 487 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. Any receipts from the transfer of the land under the legislation
would be paid directly to the tribe.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 487 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2026.

H.R. 487 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates  Reform Act and would benefit the tribe.

On July 22, 2015, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 487, a bill to allow the Miami
Tribe of Oklahoma to lease or transfer certain lands, as ordered reported by the House
Committee on Natural Resources on July 9, 2015. The two versions of the legislation are
identical and CBO's estimate of the budgetary effects are the same.

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