OMB COST ESTIMATE
FOR PAY-AS-YOU-GO CALCULATIONS

Report No: 510
Date: 08/04/00

  1. LAW NUMBER: P.L.106-248 (S. 1892)
  2. BILL TITLE: Valles Caldera Preservation Act
  3. BILL PURPOSE: Authorizes the purchase and management of the Baca Ranch, New Mexico, and the acquisition of private lands adjacent to federally designated areas.
  4. OMB ESTIMATE: P.L. 106-248 authorizes the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture to sell certain Federal lands and use the net proceeds to purchase nonfederal lands. Because this would allow receipts to be spent that otherwise would be unavailable for spending, OMB estimates that spending would increase by small amounts each year.

  8. EXPLANATION OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OMB AND CBO ESTIMATES:

    CBO has slightly higher estimates of receipts from sales, so it estimates slightly higher additional spending.

    NOTE: The cumulative effect of direct spending and revenue legislation enacted to date is currently estimated to result in an end-of-session sequester. The Administration looks forward to working with the Congress to ensure that an unintended sequester does not occur.
