1 H.R. 972, Wildlife Refuge Conservation and Recreation for the Community Act, as Ordered Reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on July 14, 2021 1 (September 15, 2021)

handle is hein.congrec/cbowldrcr0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate September 15, 2021 By FiscaI Year, Millions of Dollars 2021 2021-2026 2021-2031 fl * * Reveus -e In,~ o Decre- se in hD~i U 0 0 0 0 * * H.R. 972 would direct the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to establish the Western Riverside County National Wildlife Refuge in California. Under the bill, federal agencies that manage land within the proposed boundary, including the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service, and the Army Corps of Engineers, would be required to assess the suitability of transferring their land to USFWS to include in the refuge. For this estimate, CBO assumes that the bill would be enacted around the end of calendar year 2021. Using information from the affected agencies, CBO estimates that the federal government would incur costs totaling $3 million over the 2022-2026 period to establish the refuge; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. That amount includes the costs to assess federal land for inclusion, complete the necessary environmental studies, and conduct related planning. CBO estimates that the net change in costs to manage the land would be negligible over the 2022-2026 period. H.R. 972 would authorize USFWS to acquire nonfederal land by donation, purchase with donated or appropriated funds, or exchange. CBO expects that any donations, which are classified in the budget as offsetting receipts or reductions in direct spending, would be spent soon thereafter, resulting in a negligible effect on net direct spending.
