CONSERVATION ACT
SEPTEMBER 28, 2017.-Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the
State of the Union and ordered to be printed
Mr. BISHOP of Utah, from the Committee on Natural Resources,
submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany H.R. 1107]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred the
bill (H.R. 1107) to promote conservation, improve public land man-
agement, and provide for sensible development in Pershing County,
Nevada, and for other purposes, having considered the same, report
favorably thereon without amendment and recommend that the bill
do pass.
PURPOSE OF THE BILL
The purpose of H.R. 1107 is to promote conservation, improve
public land management, and provide for sensible development in
Pershing County, Nevada.
BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
H.R. 1107, the Pershing County Economic Development and Con-
servation Act, is the result of over a decade of negotiations between
locally-elected officials, miners, conservationists, sportsmen, ranch-
ers, and residents in Pershing County, Nevada. The bill consoli-
dates over 300,000 acres of checkerboard federal land previously
identified for disposal by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM);
conveys land for mining and public purposes, including the transfer
of a cemetery to the County; creates 136,072 acres of new wilder-
ness areas; and releases roughly 48,600 acres of Wilderness Study
Areas (WSA) to benefit conservation, recreation, and economic de-
velopment in Pershing County, Nevada.
