                                 H.R.   2009
            Pascua   Yaqui  Tribe  Land  Conveyance Act of 2015

          As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources
                               on March  16, 2016


H.R. 2009 would authorize exchanges of land and related interests among the Pascua
Yaqui Indian Tribe in Pima County, Arizona, the Tucson Unified School District, and the
federal government. The proposed transactions involve three parcels of land and would be
contingent on the school district relinquishing its interest in nearly 40 acres of land, which
the Department of the Interior (DOI) would take into trust on behalf of the tribe. In
exchange, DOI would convey to the school district roughly 13 acres of other land and, if
requested by the district, the federal government's reversionary interest in nearly 28 acres
of additional land, provided that the school district pays DOI the fair market value of such
lands and interests.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 2009 would have no significant effect on the federal
budget. Based on information from DOI, CBO estimates that any administrative costs
incurred under the bill (which would be subject to appropriation), would not exceed
$500,000 in any year. According to DOI, the affected lands currently generate no
significant receipts and are not expected to do so over the next 10 years. Based on
information from the Pima County Assessor's Office about the estimated market value of
lands and interests that would be conveyed to the school district under the bill, CBO
estimates that any proceeds to the federal government would total less than $500,000. Any
such amounts would be recorded as offsetting receipts (a credit against direct spending);
therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting H.R. 2009 would not affect revenues.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 2009 would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

H.R. 2009 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.
