                                    S. 884
   A  bill to require the Bureau of Land  Management to provide certain
   covered   claimholders  the opportunity  to cure any  defects in a small
 miner  maintenance fee   waiver  application or pay  the claim maintenance
                         fee, and for other purposes

     As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
                               on October 2, 2018


Current law requires mining claimholders to pay claim maintenance fees each year or
submit an application for a fee waiver and related paperwork to the Bureau of Land
Management  (BLM) by a filing deadline. If claimholders fail to do so they forfeit the
claim. S. 884 would direct BLM to reinstate the forfeited mining claims of four
claimholders in Alaska if those claimholders retroactively submit paperwork and pay
fees. CBO estimates that any costs incurred by BLM to manage the reinstated claims
would be insignificant and would be offset by the fees for that paperwork; thus, the net
effect on spending subject to appropriation would be negligible.

Enacting S. 884 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 884 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

S. 884 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

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