                                 H.R. 3079
                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 House Committee on Natural Resources
                              on February 3, 2016


H.R. 3079 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 H.R. 3079 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 direct spending. 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
H.R. 3079 would not affect revenues.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3079 would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits by more than $5 billion in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2027.

H.R. 3079 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

On November 4, 2015, CBO transmitted an estimate for S. 1822, which has the same title,
as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on October 21, 2015. The
two bills are similar, and the CBO's estimate of the budgetary effects are the same.

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