Re: Cost estimate for an amendment in the nature of a substitute to
S. 1460, the Energy and Natural Resources Act of 2017 (FLO] 7512).

Dear Madam   Chairman:

As you requested, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has reviewed an
amendment  in the nature of a substitute to S. 1460, the Energy and Natural
Resources Act of 2017 (FLO175 12), provided to CBO on July 18, 2017.

CBO  estimates that enacting the legislation would increase net direct
spending by $614 million over the 2018-2021 period. Under requirements
established in section 3207 of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for
Fiscal Year 2016, which specifies an alternative method for determining
budgetary effects in the Senate, CBO estimates that the legislation would
reduce spending by $16 million.

The legislation would amend current law and authorize appropriations for a
broad range of activities administered primarily by the Department of
Energy (DOE)  and the Department of the Interior. It would expand and
extend federal agencies' authority to use energy savings performance
contracts (ESPCs) and utility energy service contracts (UESCs)-specific
types of long-term contracts-to invest in energy conservation measures
and services. The bill also would permit the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM)  to spend, without further Congressional action, proceeds from sales
of certain federal lands; rescind unobligated funds that were provided for
loan guarantees under Title 17 that were originally designated as an
emergency  requirement; and authorize certain land transfers and
conveyances.
