S. 267 would direct the Department of the Interior to conduct a survey of a 26-acre parcel of land within the boundary of the Swan Lake Hydroelectric Project in Alaska. The bill also would require the federal government to convey the parcel, which is currently under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Forest Service, to the state of Alaska. Based on an analysis of information provided by the affected agencies, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would have no significant effect on the federal budget. The parcel is not currently generating any receipts for the Forest Service and it is not expected to do so in the future.
Enacting S. 267 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 2028.
S. 267 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.
