                                  H.R.   597
                 Lytton  Rancheria   Homelands Act of 2017

          As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources
                                on June 27, 2017


H.R. 597 would take into trust, for the benefit of the Lytton Rancheria of California, a
federally recognized Indian tribe, certain lands located in the County of Sonoma,
California. The bill would specify certain prohibitions on gaming on the affected land,
consistent with an existing memorandum of understanding between the tribe and the
County of Sonoma.

Based on information from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, CBO estimates that
implementing H.R. 597 would have no significant effect on the federal budget. CBO
estimates that any change in the agency's administrative costs under the bill, which
would be subject to appropriation, would not exceed $500,000 annually.

Enacting H.R. 597 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 597 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2028.

H.R. 597 would impose an intergovernmental mandate, as defined in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (UMRA),  by preempting the authority of state and local
governments to tax land taken into trust for the Lytton Rancheria. CBO estimates the
costs of the mandate would not exceed the threshold established in UMRA ($78 million
in 2017, adjusted annually for inflation).

H.R. 597 contains no private-sector mandates as defined in UMRA.

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