                                   S. 491
      A  bill to reinstate and extend the deadline for commencement
            of construction of a hydroelectric  project involving
                            Clark  Canyon   Dam

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


CBO  estimates that implementing S. 491 would have no net effect on the federal budget.
The bill would authorize the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to reinstate
the license and extend the deadline for beginning construction of a hydroelectric project
(number 12429) at Clark Canyon Dam in Montana. The proposed extension could have a
minor effect on FERC's workload; however, because FERC recovers 100 percent of its
costs through user fees, any change in that agency's costs (which are controlled through
annual appropriation acts) would be offset by an equal change in fees that the commission
charges, resulting in no net change in federal spending.

Enacting S. 491 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting S. 491 would not increase direct
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in
2028.

S. 491 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal
governments.

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