                                   S. 1167
          Owyhee Wilderness Areas Boundary Modifications Act

    As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
                                on July 13, 2016


S. 1167 would modify the boundaries of three wilderness areas in Idaho. The bill also
would require the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to conduct analyses when certain
grazing permits are renewed to determine the minimum requirements for the use of
motorized vehicles to manage livestock in the affected areas.

Based on information provided by BLM, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would
have no significant effect on the federal budget. The adjustments to the wilderness
boundaries would reduce the total amount of wilderness by less than 800 acres and would
not significantly affect the management of the affected lands. In addition, the analyses
required under the bill would be required for fewer than 5 permits and those analyses
would largely consist of reviews that would occur under current law.

Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. 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. 1167 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Jeff LaFave. The estimate was approved by
Theresa Gullo, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
