                                   S. 225
       Mount   Hood  Cooper   Spur  Land  Exchange   Clarification Act

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


S. 225 would amend current law to modify the terms of a land exchange between the Forest
Service and the Mt. Hood Meadows ski area in Oregon. The legislation would reduce the
amount of land the agency would be authorized to convey to the ski area from 120 acres to
107 acres. The legislation also contains provisions aimed at expediting the exchange.

Based on information provided by the Forest Service, CBO estimates that implementing
the legislation would not affect the federal budget. Because CBO expects that enacting
S. 225 would not affect whether the exchange would occur or when it would take place, we
estimate that enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending. Enacting the
legislation also would not affect revenues. Therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not
apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 225 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

S. 225 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).  The bill would modify the terms of a land
exchange between the federal government and a private entity, which would have a small
incidental effect on property taxes collected by local governments in Oregon. That effect,
however, would not result from an intergovernmental mandate as defined in UMRA.

On April 7, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 699, the Mount Hood Cooper
Spur Land Exchange Clarification Act, as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on
Energy and Natural Resources on March 30, 2017. S. 225 and H.R. 699 are similar and
CBO's  cost estimate for each piece of legislation is the same.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Jeff LaFave. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
