                                    H.R.   1482
    A bill to authorize the  Secretary  of Agriculture  to maintain  or replace
    certain  facilities and structures for commercial recreation services at
                 Smith  Gulch   in Idaho, and  for other purposes

    As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on July 11, 2018


 H.R. 1482 would authorize the Forest Service to allow three providers of commercial
 recreation services in the Salmon-Challis National Forest in Idaho to construct or
 improve certain facilities. Those recreation services currently operate under special use
 permits that do not allow those types of projects. Under the bill, if the operators of those
 recreation services request authorization to undertake those projects, the agency would be
 required to conduct environmental reviews. Any costs to carry out those reviews would
 be covered by cost-recovery fees assessed on the recreation services.

 Using information provided by the Forest Service, CBO estimates that enacting the bill
 would increase offsetting receipts from cost-recovery fees and associated direct spending;
 therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO estimates that any net effect
 on direct spending would be negligible. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.

 CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 1482 would not increase net direct spending or on-
 budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

 H.R. 1482 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded  Mandates Reform Act.

 On April 7, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 590, a bill to authorize the
 Secretary of Agriculture to maintain or replace certain facilities and structures for
 commercial recreation services at Smith Gulch in Idaho, and for other purposes, as
 ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on March
 30, 2017. The two bills are similar, and CBO's estimates of the budgetary effects are the
 same.

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