                     Federal  Land   Management Act of 2017

        As reported by the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry
                                on November  16, 2017


 S. 2099 would authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct several land
 conveyances. The bill also would expand certain wilderness areas in Tennessee and
 Virginia. Finally, the legislation would remove a deed restriction from certain lands in
 Maine. Using information provided by the Forest Service, CBO estimates that enacting
 the bill would reduce net direct spending by $1 million. Because enacting the bill would
 affect direct spending, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting S. 2099 would not

 CBO  estimates that enacting S. 2099 would not significantly increase net direct spending
 or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

 S. 2099 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded  Mandates Reform Act.

 Section 8 would require the Secretary to sell about nine acres of land in Riverside,
 California, to the Riverside Corona Resource Conservation District (district). Using
 information provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the
 district regarding the fair market value of similar properties in Riverside, California, CBO
 estimates that enacting the bill would increase offsetting receipts, which are treated as
 reductions in direct spending, by $1 million in 2018.

 Under current law, the affected lands are managed under a cooperative agreement
 between the NRCS  and the district and are used for research and conservation purposes.
 None  of those lands are expected to generate receipts over the next 10 years.

 S. 2099 also would authorize the NRCS to enter into contracts or leases with the district
 after the lands are conveyed in order to allow the agency to occupy its current facilities.
 Using information provided by the NRCS and the district, CBO does not expect that the
 conservation district would make any improvements on the affected lands that would be
