SUMMARY

H.R. 6510 would require that proceeds from certain leases involving energy resources on
public lands be deposited into a new fund in the Treasury. Under the bill, the Department
of the Interior (DOI) could spend amounts in the fund without further appropriation,
including interest credited to unspent balances, on deferred maintenance and
infrastructure projects administered by the National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and Bureau of Indian
Education. The department also could accept and spend any cash or in-kind donations
received from the public for such projects.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 6510 would increase net direct spending by
$6.5 billion over the 2019-2028 period; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. The
bill would not affect revenues.

CBO  also estimates that enacting H.R. 6510 would not increase net direct spending by
more than $2.5 billion or on-budget deficits by more than $5 billion in any of the four
consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

H.R. 6510 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).

The estimated budgetary effect of H.R. 6510 is shown in the following table. The costs of
the legislation fall within budget functions 300 (natural resources and the environment)
and 450 (community and regional development).
