H.R. 2212, a bill to take certain Federal lands located in Lassen County, California, into trust for the benefit of the Susanville Indian Rancheria, and for other purposes

H.R. 2212 would require the Secretary of the Interior to take 300 acres of federal lands in California into trust for the benefit of the Susanville Indian Rancheria. The bill also would prohibit certain gaming activities on the affected lands. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would have no significant effect on the federal budget.

Based on information from the Department of the Interior, CBO estimates the affected lands will generate receipts of about $2,000 a year from leasing rights-of-way. Because transferring the affected lands to the Rancheria would reduce offsetting receipts by that amount (such receipts are treated as reductions in direct spending), pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2212 would not increase on-budget deficits or net direct spending by more than $5 billion in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2026.

H.R. 2212 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would benefit the tribe.
