                    Mr. BARRASSO, from the Committee on Environment and Public
                                  Works, submitted the following

                                        REPORT

                                        [To accompany S. 593]

                                          together with

                                      ADDITIONAL VIEWS

                           [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
                    The Committee on Environment and Public Works, to which was
                  referred a bill (S. 593) to amend the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife
                  Restoration Act to facilitate the establishment of additional or ex-
                  panded public target ranges in certain States, having considered
                  the same, reports favorably thereon without amendment and rec-
                  ommends that the bill do pass.
                              GENERAL STATEMENT AND BACKGROUND
                    Pittman-Robertson funds are derived from an 11 percent user
                  pays excise tax on firearms and ammunition, and the resulting re-
                  ceipts are set aside from the general treasury for firearms safety
                  training programs and wildlife conservation. Almost $11 billion has
                  been raised for the fund since President Franklin D. Roosevelt
                  signed Pittman-Robertson into law in 1937, making target shooters
                  and hunters amongst the largest financial supporters of wildlife
                  conservation in the United States.
                    Nevertheless, states have deployed a declining percentage of
                  these funds to establish public shooting ranges, due to fiscal con-
                  straints. The costs associated with siting a range and the two-year
                  timeline to deploy Pittman-Robertson funds for such a project be-
                     89-010
