                                    S. 569
      Land   and Water   Conservation  Authorization   and Funding   Act

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


SUMMARY

S. 569 would permanently authorize the annual deposit of at least $900 million from
various federal sources into the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). The current
authorization to make those deposits expired on October 1, 2018. The bill also would
make the amounts deposited into the LWCF available to spend without further
appropriation by the Department of the Interior (DOI) and the Forest Service to acquire
land and to make grants to states to support outdoor recreation.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 569 would increase direct spending by $7.2 billion over
the 2019-2028 period; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. The bill would not
affect revenues or spending subject to appropriation.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 569 would increase net direct spending and on-budget
deficits by more than $5 billion in each of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning
in 2029.

S. 569 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).


ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

The estimated budgetary effect of S. 569 is shown in the following table. The costs of the
legislation fall within budget function 300 (natural resources and the environment).
