                                    S. 2074
    A bill to establish a procedure  for the conveyance   of certain Federal
    property  around  Jamestown Reservoir in the State of North Dakota,
                            and  for other purposes

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


S. 2074 would direct the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) to convey certain federal land
and facilities located near the Jamestown Reservoir in North Dakota to the Stutsman
County Park Board. After the property is conveyed, the board could sell the property to
existing cabin permit holders, and the net proceeds of those transactions 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. 2074 would increase 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. 2074 would not affect revenues.

Under S. 2074, BOR would convey specified federal property to the Stutsman County
Park Board within 5 years after enactment. Using information from BOR, CBO estimates
that 71 cabin permit holders would purchase lots from the board for an estimated
$100,000 per lot. CBO estimates that the board would transfer the net proceeds of about
$7 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. 2074 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

S. 2074 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.
