                                   H.R.  717
                              Listing Reform   Act

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on October 4, 2017


SUMMARY

H.R. 717 would authorize the Secretary of the Interior to make a determination under the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) that placing species on the endangered or threatened list
would be warranted but precluded because the action would have significant effects on
the economy.

Using information from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and assuming
appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would
cost $16 million over the 2018-2022 period. Enacting the bill would not affect direct
spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 717 would not increase net direct spending or on-
budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 717 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform  Act (UMRA).
