Description:
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on September 18, 2014
H.R. 5040 would direct the Secretary of the Interior to convey, without consideration, about 30 acres of federal land to Idaho County, Idaho, for use as a shooting range. Based on information from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would have no significant effect on the federal budget. Enacting H.R. 5040 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
Under the bill, the Secretary would be required to convey about 30 acres of federal land that are currently used recreationally by hunters to Idaho County. The county would be required to use the affected land as a shooting range. The affected land does not currently generate offsetting receipts for the federal government and is not expected to generate such receipts over the next 10 years. Any administrative costs related to the conveyance of the affected land would be paid by the county.
H.R. 5040 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act; any costs to the county would be incurred voluntarily.
