                                   H.R. 6652
   A bill to direct the Secretary of the Interior to convey certain facilities,
     easements, and rights-of-way to the Kennewick Irrigation District,
                             and for other purposes

           As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources
                               on November 15, 2018


 H.R. 6652 would direct the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) to convey certain federal land
 and facilities to the Kennewick Irrigation District (district) in the state of Washington.
 Using information from BOR, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 6652 would cost
 less than $100,000 over the 2019-2028 period for staff to carry out the title transfer
 including coordinating surveys and National Environmental Policy Act reviews. Any
 spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.

 Under current law, the district pays the federal government about $70,000 annually for
 outstanding capital obligations it owes for the costs of constructing the project. Under the
 bill, the district would discontinue those payments and instead would pay the federal
 government an amount equal to the net present value of its outstanding obligation in
 2020. Those payments are recorded in the federal budget as offsetting receipts, or
 reductions in direct spending. Because enacting the bill would affect direct spending pay-
 as-you-go procedures apply; however, CBO estimates that the net effect on direct
 spending would not be significant. Enacting H.R. 6652 would not affect revenues.

 CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 6652 would not increase net direct spending or on-
 budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

 H.R. 6652 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 H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
