                                   S. 1822
     A  bill to take certain federal land located in Tuolumne County,
        California, into trust for the benefit of the Tuolumne   Band
                of Me-Wuk Indians, and for other purposes

  As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on October 21, 2015


S. 1822 would take into trust, for the benefit of the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians,
approximately 80 acres of land located in Tuolumne County, California, that is
administered by the United States Forest Service. The bill would prohibit certain types of
gaming on those lands.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 1822 would have no significant effect on the federal
budget. We estimate that any change in federal costs to manage lands affected by the bill
(which would be subject to appropriation) would be insignificant. Under current law, CBO
expects that the affected lands could generate income from grazing permits; thus, CBO
estimates that taking those lands into trust could reduce offsetting receipts which are
certain collections that are treated as reductions in outlays. Because the bill could increase
direct spending, pay-as-you-go procedures apply; however, based on information from the
Forest Service, CBO estimates that any such effects would be negligible. Enacting S. 1822
would not affect revenues.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 1822 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits by more than $5 billion in any of the next four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2026.

S. 1822 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform  Act.

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