                                     S. 440
    A bill to establish a procedure  for the conveyance   of certain Federal
    property   around  Dickinson   Reservoir  in the State of North  Dakota

    As  ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
                                 on May  17, 2018


S. 440 would direct the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) to convey certain federal land
located near the Dickinson Reservoir in North Dakota to the Dickinson Parks and
Recreation department. Under the bill, after the property is conveyed, the department
could sell the property to certain existing cabin permit holders and the net proceeds of
those transaction would be paid to the federal government. Those proceeds would be
classified as offsetting receipts, which are treated as reductions in direct spending, and
could subsequently be spent by BOR without further appropriation.

Enacting S. 440 would increase offsetting receipts and the associated direct spending;
therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO estimates that the net effect
on the budget would be negligible. Enacting S. 440 would not affect revenues.

Under S. 440, BOR would convey specified federal property to the Dickinson Parks and
Recreation department within 5 years after enactment. Using information from BOR,
CBO  expects that 41 cabin permit holders would purchase lots from the department for
about $100,000 per lot. CBO estimates that the department would transfer the net
proceeds of about $4 million to the federal government and those offsetting receipts
would be spent for annual operations costs and deferred maintenance projects at the
Jamestown Dam  and Reservoir in North Dakota.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 440 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

S. 440 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates  Reform Act.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Aurora Swanson. The estimate was reviewed
by Leo Lex, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
