                                    S. 249
  A bill to provide that the Pueblo  of Santa  Clara may   lease for 99 years
               certain restricted land, and for other  purposes

  As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on February 8, 2017


S. 249 would authorize the Pueblo of Santa Clara and the Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo to lease
tribal lands for up to 99 years. In general, under current law, the tribes can lease tribal lands
to schools, businesses, and public entities for up to 25 years.

CBO  estimates that implementing S. 249 would have no effect on the federal budget
because any additional proceeds from such leases would accrue to the owners of the land.
Enacting S. 249 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures would not apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 249 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

S. 249 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform  Act. The Pueblo of Santa Clara and the Ohkay Owingeh
Pueblo would benefit from provisions in the bill allowing the tribes to lease land for up to
99 years, regardless of the trust status of the land.

The CBO  staff contacts for this estimate are Robert Reese (for federal costs) and
Rachel Austin (for intergovernmental mandates). The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
