                                  H.R.   2630
                    La  Paz County   Land  Conveyance Act

          As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources
                              on November  30, 2017


H.R. 2630 would direct the Department of the Interior (DOI) to convey, upon request, up
to 8,800 acres of federal land to La Paz County, Arizona. The county would be required
to pay the estimated fair-market value for the affected lands, which would be used by
commercial entities to produce solar energy. Under the bill, the county would have up to
20 years to acquire those lands and would be required to pay any administrative costs
associated with their conveyance.

Based on the value of similar lands in La Paz County, CBO estimates that the county
would pay DOI between $500 and $1,000 per acre to acquire those lands or about
$6 million in total. Because the 2018-2027 period is half of the 20 years within
which the county could acquire the land, for the purposes of this estimate, CBO assumes
that about half of the total value-$3 million-would be conveyed in the first 10 years
following enactment.

Because enacting H.R. 2630 would affect direct spending, pay-as-you-go procedures
apply. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 2630 would not increase net direct spending or on-
budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 2630 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform  Act.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Jeff LaFave. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
