                                    S. 590
  A bill to authorize the Secretary   of Agriculture  to maintain  or replace
  certain  facilities and structures for commercial   recreation  services at
               Smith  Gulch  in Idaho,  and  for other purposes

    As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
                               on March  30, 2017


S. 590 would authorize the Forest Service to allow three providers of commercial
recreation services in the Salmon-Challis National Forest in Idaho to construct or improve
certain facilities. Those recreation services currently operate under special use permits that
do not allow those types of projects. Under the bill, if the operators of those recreation
services request authorization to undertake those projects, the agency would be required to
conduct environmental reviews. Any costs to carry out those reviews would be covered by
cost-recovery fees assessed on the recreation services.

Based on information provided by the Forest Service, CBO estimates that enacting the bill
would increase offsetting receipts from cost-recovery fees and associated direct spending;
therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO estimates that any net effect on
direct spending would be negligible. Enacting the bill would not affect 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 2028.

S. 590 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
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
