Description:
S. 1167 would modify the boundaries of three wilderness areas in Idaho. The bill also would require the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to conduct analyses when certain grazing permits are renewed to determine the minimum requirements for the use of motorized vehicles to manage livestock in the affected areas.
Based on information provided by BLM, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would have no significant effect on the federal budget. The adjustments to the wilderness boundaries would reduce the total amount of wilderness by less than 800 acres and would not significantly affect the management of the affected lands. In addition, the analyses required under the bill would be required for fewer than 5 permits and those analyses would largely consist of reviews that would occur under current law.
Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.
S. 1167 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.
