                                  S. 1983
Pechanga   Band  of Luiseno  Mission  Indians Water   Rights  Settlement Act

  As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on February 3, 2016


SUMMARY

S. 1983 would ratify the Pechanga Settlement Agreement among the Pechanga Band of
Luiseno Mission Indians in California, the federal government, and local water districts.
The legislation also would establish the Pechanga Settlement Fund to pay for the
development and maintenance of water infrastructure for the tribe and would authorize the
appropriation of funds for those purposes.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 1983 would cost $33 million over the 2017-2021 period,
assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply
because enacting S. 1983 would not affect direct spending or revenues.

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

S. 1983 contains an intergovernmental mandate as defined in the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act (UMRA)  because it would require the tribe to enact a water policy. CBO
estimates that the cost of the mandate would be small and well below the threshold
established in UMRA for intergovernmental mandates ($77 million in 2016, adjusted
annually for inflation).

The bill contains no private-sector mandates as defined in UMRA.


ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

The estimated budgetary effect of S. 1983 is shown in the following table. The costs of this
legislation fall within budget function 450 (community and regional development).
