Premium   Download PDF Now (1 page)
Congress 116th
Date Requested Dec. 17, 2019
Requested By the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
Date Sent Jan. 15, 2020
Description:
S. 258 would withdraw roughly 310,000 acres of federal land in Nevada from operation under mineral leasing laws, subject to valid existing rights. That is, the bill would not allow new mining or other related activities on that land, which is located in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. Based on the costs of similar tasks, CBO estimates that any costs incurred by the federal government to implement the withdrawal would be insignificant; any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Using information from the Forest Service, under current law CBO does not expect that the federal government would realize any receipts from future mineral leases on that land.
