                                    S.35
         Black  Hills National Cemetery   Boundary   Expansion   Act

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


S. 35 would require the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to transfer 200 acres of land
to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to expand a national cemetery. CBO estimates
that implementing S. 35 would have insignificant costs for VA to cover administrative
expenses associated with the transfer and make improvements to the Black Hills National
Cemetery.

Under the bill, the affected lands would be withdrawn from mining and mineral leasing
activities. Based on an analysis of information provided by BLM, CBO expects that those
activities would not occur over the next 10 years and we estimate that withdrawing the
lands would not affect the federal budget. Because enacting the bill would not affect direct
spending or revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 35 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

S. 35 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.
