                  Public Lands   Telecommunications Act

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


SUMMARY

H.R. 2425 would make most fees collected by the federal government from firms with
communications equipment on federal lands available to be spent, subject to appropriation,
by federal land management agencies (Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service,
National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Reclamation). Those
agencies could use those amounts to carry out certain administrative activities.

Assuming appropriation of the amounts expected to be available under the bill, CBO
estimates that implementing H.R. 2425 would cost $104 million over the 2018-2022
period. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore,
pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

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

H.R. 2425 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)  and would impose no costs on state, local, or
tribal governments.
