Notes: Components may not sum to totals because of rounding; * = revenue loss of less than $500,000.
       CBO has not completed an estimate of the effect of S. 612 on spending that is subject to appropriation.

a.      Enacting certain provisions of title I would reduce direct spending (by increasing offsetting receipts) by transfering land adjacent to Sardis Lake in Mississippi to a nonfederal entity in
       exchange for the market value of the land (estimated value of $1 million) and allowing for the repayment of amounts owed by the Trinity River Authority in Texas to the federal
       government for water storage by the end of calendar year 2016 ($31 million). Enacting other provisions of title I would increase direct spending by directing the Corps of Engineers to
       enter into agreements with nonfederal entities to jointly manage parks and recreational facilities and authorizing those entities to collect and retain fees that the Corps currently
       deposits in the Treasury (an estimated reduction in receipts of about $4 million), and prohibiting the Corps of Engineers from collecting fees from certain non-profit organizations for
       easements across water projects for electric, telephone, or broadband service facilities (an estimated reduction in receipts of about $5 million).

b.     Section 4011 of title III would direct the Bureau of Reclamation to convert service contracts with water districts in 17 western states to repayment contracts if requested by contractors.
       This conversion would allow contractors to repay their share of capital costs to the federal government earlier than would otherwise occur under current law. Receipts to the federal
       government would increase in the first few years after enactment, but would decline in subsequent years. Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that some of those
       accelerated payments would be financed with bonds exempt from federal taxation, leading to a revenue loss.

c.      Negative numbers indicate a decrease in revenues. Estimate prepared by staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation.
