112TH CONGRESS REPORT " ! SENATE 1st Session 112–69 

FEDERAL LAND TRANSACTION FACILITATION ACT 

REAUTHORIZATION 

SEPTEMBER 6, 2011.—Ordered to be printed 

Mr. BINGAMAN, from the Committee on Energy and Natural 

Resources, submitted the following 

R E P O R T 

[To accompany S. 714] 

The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was 

referred the bill (S. 714) to reauthorize the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act, and for other purposes, having considered 

the same, reports favorably thereon with an amendment and recommends that the bill, as amended do pass. 

The amendment is as follows: 

1. On page 2, line 8, strike ‘‘2009’’ and insert ‘‘2011’’. 

PURPOSE

The purpose of S. 714, as ordered reported, is to reauthorize the 

Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act for an additional 10-year 

period, through July 25, 2021. 

BACKGROUND AND NEED

In July of 2000, Congress enacted the Federal Land Transaction 

and Facilitation Act (FLTFA) as Title II of the Valles Caldera Preservation Act (Public Law 106–248). FLTFA authorizes the Bureau 

of Land Management (BLM) to sell public lands identified for disposal through the land use planning process prior to July 2000 and 

to retain the proceeds from the sales in a special account set up 

in the Treasury, to be available without further appropriation. The 

funds in that account are used to buy inholdings within Federallydesignated areas in the same State, including BLM, National Park 

Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Forest Service areas. 

FLTFA was initially authorized through July 2010. Public Law 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
2 

111–168, the 2010 Supplemental Appropriations Act, extended the 

authorization for an additional year, through July 25, 2011. 

Since enactment of FLTFA in 2000, the BLM has sold just under 

27,000 acres of surplus lands and acquired approximately 18,000 

acres of lands with high resource values. 

Because the authority to sell and purchase lands under FLTFA 

sunset on July 25, 2011, S. 714 would extend the program’s authorization through 2021 and expand the pool of eligible lands to be 

sold to include any lands identified for disposal as of the date of 

enactment of S. 714. Furthermore, if the law is not reauthorized, 

proceeds from BLM land sales will not be available for future acquisitions but instead will be available for appropriation under the 

Land and Water Conservation Fund. 

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY

S. 714 was introduced by Senators Bingaman, Udall of Colorado, 

Udall of New Mexico, and Wyden on April 4, 2011. Senator Tester 

is also a cosponsor. The Subcommittee on Public Lands and Forests 

held a hearing on S. 714 on May 25, 2011. At its business meeting 

on July 14, 2011, the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources 

ordered S. 714 favorably reported with an amendment. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, in 

open business session on July 14, 2011, by voice vote of a quorum 

present, recommends that the Senate pass S. 714, if amended as 

described herein. 

COMMITTEE AMENDMENT

During its consideration of S. 714, the Committee adopted a technical amendment to correct a reference to the short title in section 

2(2)(A). 

SECTION-BY-SECTION ANALYSIS

Section 1 provides the short title, the ‘‘Federal Land Transaction 

Facilitation Act Reauthorization of 2011’’. 

Section 2(1) amends section 203(2) of FLTFA (Public Law 106– 

248) to make any federally designated area (as defined in section 

103(o) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976) eligible for FLTFA funds, regardless of when the area was established. 

Section 2(2) amends section 205 of FLTFA by allowing any Federal lands identified for disposal in approved land use plans as of 

the date of enactment of this Act to be eligible for sale under 

FLTFA. As originally enacted, only lands identified for disposal as 

of July 2000 were eligible for sale under FLTFA. The section extends the authorization for FLTFA through July 25, 2021. 

Section 2(3) strikes subsection (f) of section 206 of FLTFA, which 

requires that any remaining balance in the FLTFA special account 

be available for appropriation under the Land and Water Conservation Fund when FLTFA’s authorization ends. 

Section 2(4) makes technical and conforming changes to section 

207(b) of FLTFA, and amends section 207(b) to include the White 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
3 

Pine County Conservation, Recreation, and Development Act of 

2006, the Lincoln County Conservation, Recreation, and Development Act of 2004, and several subtitles and sections from the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 to clarify that those 

lands remain eligible for sale under separate laws and that the 

FLTFA provisions will not apply. 

COST AND BUDGETARY CONSIDERATIONS

The following estimate of costs of this measure has been provided 

by the Congressional Budget Office: 

S. 714—Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act Reauthorization 

of 2011 

Summary: S. 714 would reauthorize the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (FLTFA) to allow certain federal agencies to 

spend, without further appropriation, proceeds from the sale of 

land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to 

purchase inholdings (privately held land surrounded by federal 

land). Based on information provided by BLM, CBO estimates that 

enacting the legislation would increase both the proceeds from sale 

of federal property and the spending of sale proceeds. On balance, 

CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would yield a small 

net reduction in direct spending of $5 million over the 2012–2021 

period—primarily because the spending of sale proceeds would lag 

behind such collections over the next 10 years. Because S. 714 

would affect direct spending, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting the legislation would not affect revenues. 

S. 714 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates 

as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and 

would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments. 

Estimated cost to the Federal Government: The estimated budgetary impact of S. 714 is shown in the following table. The costs 

of this legislation fall within budget function 300 (natural resources 

and environment).

a The amounts of sale proceeds shown in the table reflect expected increases in collections under S. 714. In addition, CBO estimates that 

the Bureau of Land Management will collect $10 million over the 2012–2021 period for such sales under current law. 

Basis of estimate: For this estimate, CBO assumes that the legislation will be enacted near the end of 2011. 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
4 

Under current law, proceeds from the sale of BLM land are deposited in the Treasury as offsetting receipts (a credit against direct spending). CBO estimates that such proceeds will total $10 

million over the 2012–2021 period. Because, under the bill, BLM 

could spend proceeds from the sale of land to pay for administrative costs associated with future land sales, CBO estimates that 

implementing the legislation would increase such proceeds (relative 

to current law) by $80 million over the next 10 years. Overall, we 

estimate that gross proceeds from the sale of BLM land would increase to $90 million over 2012–2021 period, including the $10 million in collections expected under current law. 

CBO estimates that, under the bill, annual proceeds from the 

sale of BLM land over the next 10 years would be lower (on average) than the historical average under FLTFA. Over the 2001–2011 

period, proceeds from the sale of BLM land under the program totaled about $120 million, with most of that amount generated by 

sales of land near urban areas in Nevada and Arizona in 2006 and 

2007. Because the amount of future proceeds from such land sales 

is related to prevailing housing market and economic conditions in 

those areas, we expect that gross proceeds would be lower than in 

recent years and would increase over the 10-year period as additional sales would take place in those urban areas. 

Because the bill would authorize four land-management agencies 

(BLM, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, and the Forest Service) to spend, without further appropriation, proceeds from the sale of BLM land, including amounts expected to be collected under current law, CBO also estimates that 

implementing the legislation would increase direct spending over 

the 2012–2021 period. Based on the historical rate of spending for 

the FLTFA program and for other federal land acquisition activities, CBO expects that those agencies would not spend all of the 

proceeds ($90 million) generated from BLM land sales over the 

next 10 years. We estimate that direct spending of such proceeds 

would total $75 million over the 2012–2021 period, resulting in a 

net reduction in direct spending of $5 million over that period. 

Pay-As-You-Go considerations: The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act 

of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement procedures 

for legislation affecting direct spending or revenues. S. 714 would 

reduce direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. 

The budgetary changes that are subject to pay-as-you-go procedures are shown in the following table.

REGULATORY IMPACT EVALUATION

In compliance with paragraph 11(b) of rule XXVI of the Standing 

Rules of the Senate, the Committee makes the following evaluation 

of the regulatory impact which would be incurred in carrying out 

S. 714. 

The bill is not a regulatory measure in the sense of imposing 

Government-established standards or significant economic responsibilities on private individuals and businesses. 

No personal information would be collected in administering the 

program. Therefore, there would be no impact on personal privacy. 

Little, if any, additional paperwork would result from the enactment of S. 714, as ordered reported. 

CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING

S. 714, as ordered reported, does not contain any congressionally 

directed spending items, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits as defined in rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the Senate. 

EXECUTIVE COMMUNICATIONS

The testimony provided by the Bureau of Land Management at 

the May 25, 2011 Subcommittee hearing on S. 714 follows: 

STATEMENT OF MARCILYNN BURKE, BUREAU OF LAND

MANAGEMENT, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Thank you for the opportunity to testify on S. 714, the 

Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (FLTFA) Reauthorization of 2011. The Administration strongly supports 

S. 714 and encourages the Congress to move swiftly to reauthorize the FLTFA. Over the past decade, the Department of the Interior has made a number of important acquisitions using the FLTFA’s provisions. Reauthorization 

of the FLTFA will allow us to continue to use this critical 

tool for enhancing our Nation’s treasured landscapes. 

BACKGROUND

Congress enacted the FLTFA in July of 2000 as Title II 

of Public Law 106–248 (formerly referred to as the ‘‘Baca 

Bill’’). FLTFA expired on July 25, 2010. At that time, the 

balance in the FLTFA account (approximately $50 million) 

was transferred to the Land and Water Conservation 

Fund. FLTFA was reauthorized through July 25, 2011, by 

the 2010 Supplemental Appropriations Act (P.L. 111–212). 

Since the one-year extension became law, approximately 

$3 million from the sale of 800 acres of public lands has 

been deposited into the FLTFA account. 

Under the FLTFA, the Bureau of Land Management 

(BLM) may sell public lands identified for disposal through 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
6 

the land use planning process prior to July 2000, and retain the proceeds from those sales in a special account in 

the Treasury. The BLM may then use those funds to acquire, from willing sellers, inholdings within certain Federally designated areas and lands that are adjacent to those 

areas that contain exceptional resources. Lands may be acquired within and/or adjacent to areas managed by the National Park Service (NPS), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the U.S. Forest Service (FS), and the BLM. To 

date, approximately 26,600 acres have been sold under 

this authority and approximately 18,000 acres of high resource value lands have been acquired. 

The 2012 Budget includes a proposal to eliminate 

FLTFA’s July 2011 sunset date and allow lands identified 

as suitable for disposal in recent land use plans to be sold 

using the FLTFA authority. FLTFA sales revenues would 

continue to be used to fund the acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands and the administrative costs associated with conducting sales. 

The 1976 Federal Land Policy and Management Act 

(FLPMA) provides clear policy direction to the BLM that 

public lands should generally be retained in public ownership. However, section 203 of FLPMA allows the BLM to 

identify lands as potentially available for disposal if they 

meet one or more of’ the following criteria: • Lands consisting of scattered, isolated tracts that 

are difficult or uneconomic to manage; or • Lands that were acquired for a specific purpose 

and are no longer needed for that purpose; or • Lands that could serve important public objectives, such as community expansion and economic development, which outweigh other public objectives and 

values that could be served by retaining the land in 

Federal ownership. 

The BLM identifies lands that may be suitable for disposal through its land use planning process, which involves full public participation. Before the BLM can sell, 

exchange, or otherwise dispose of these lands, however, it 

must undertake extensive environmental impact analyses, 

clearances, surveys, and appraisals for the individual parcels. 

Before the enactment of the FLTFA, the BLM had the 

authority under FLPMA to sell lands identified for disposal. The proceeds from those sales were deposited into 

the General Fund of the Treasury. However, because of the 

costs associated with those sales (including environmental 

and cultural clearances, appraisals, and surveys), few sales 

were undertaken. Rather, the BLM relied largely on land 

exchanges to adjust land tenure. This can often be a less 

efficient process. 

Once the FLTFA was enacted, the BLM developed guidance, processes, and tools to complete the FLTFA land 

sales. Working cooperatively, the BLM, NPS, FWS, and FS 

then developed guidance, processes, and tools for subsequent FLTFA land acquisitions. The BLM markedly inVerDate Mar 15 2010 00:54 Sep 08, 2011 Jkt 099010 PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6969 E:\HR\OC\SR069.XXX SR069

smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
7 

creased sales under the program over the last few years. 

Recent market conditions, however, have led to less robust 

sales than earlier in the life of the program. 

Since it was enacted, the BLM utilized FLTFA to sell 

327 parcels previously identified for disposal totaling 

26,437 acres, with a total value of approximately $116.3 

million. Over the same time period, the Federal government acquired 36 parcels totaling 18,135 acres, with a 

total value of approximately $49.2 million using FLTFA 

authority. 

Some lands identified for disposal and sold through the 

FLTFA process are high-value lands in the urban interface. For example, in 2007 the BLM in Arizona sold at auction a 282-acre parcel in the suburban Phoenix area for $7 

million. However, many of the lands the BLM identified 

for disposal prior to July 2000 that are eligible under 

FLTFA are isolated or scattered parcels in remote areas 

with relatively low value. Frequently, there is limited interest in acquiring these lands, and the costs of preparing 

them for sale may exceed their market value. 

Since the inception of the FLTFA, the BLM has deposited $111.7 million into the Federal Land Disposal Account. That figure represents 96% of the total revenues 

from these sales. Approximately $4.6 million has been 

transferred to the states in which the sales originated, as 

provided for in individual Statehood Acts (typically 4% of 

the sale price). 

Using the FLTFA proceeds, the BLM, NPS, FWS, and 

FS have acquired significant inholdings and adjacent lands 

from willing sellers, consistent with the provisions of the 

Act. For example, in November 2009 the BLM used 

FLTFA funds to complete the acquisition of 4,573 acres 

within the BLM’s Canyons of the Ancients National Monument in southwest Colorado. These inholdings encompass 

25 documented cultural sites, and archaeologists expect to 

record an additional 700 significant finds. The acquisition 

also included two particularly important areas: ‘‘Jackson’s 

Castle,’’ which is archaeologically significant; and the 

‘‘Skywatcher Site,’’ a one-of-a-kind, 1,000-year-old solstice 

marker. The following are a few additional examples of important FLTFA acquisitions: 

• Elk Springs Area of Critical Environmental Concern 

(ACEC), New Mexico/BLM—This 2,280-acre acquisition 

protects critical elk wintering habitat. 

• Hells Canyon Wilderness, Arizona/BLM—A 640-acre 

parcel constituting the last inholding within the Hells 

Canyon Wilderness, located just 25 miles northwest of 

Phoenix. 

• Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming/NPS—This 

small (1.38 acres), but critical inholding within the Park 

was acquired and protected from development. 

• Zion National Park, Utah/NPS—A combination of 

FLTFA and Land and Water Conservation Fund monies 

were used to acquire two 5-acre inholdings that overlook 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
8 

some of the Park’s outstanding geologic formations. These 

areas were previously targeted for development. • Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon/ 

FWS—This 92-acre dairy farm on the outskirts of Pacific 

City, Oregon, was slated for residential development and 

was acquired to protect a significant portion of the world’s 

population of the Semidi Islands Aleutian Cackling Goose. • Six Rivers National Forest, California/FS—Over 4,400 

acres were acquired within the Goose Creek National Wild 

and Scenic River corridor, preserving 4 miles of the river 

known for dense stands of Douglas fir, redwoods, and Port 

Orford cedar. 

S. 714

S. 714 would both extend and enhance the original 

FLTFA through four major changes. 

First, the bill extends the program for 10 years to July 

2021. This change would enable the BLM to plan for and 

implement this program on a long-term basis. 

Second, under the original FLTFA, only lands identified 

for disposal prior to July 25, 2000, were eligible to be sold. 

S. 714 modifies that restriction by allowing any lands identified for disposal through the BLM’s land use planning 

process by the date of enactment of S. 714 to be sold 

through the FLTFA process. The Department supports this 

change, which recognizes the usefulness and importance of 

the BLM’s land use planning process. However, we would 

recommend eliminating this restriction rather than simply 

moving the date forward. 

The BLM currently oversees the public lands through 

159 Resource Management Plans (RMPs). Since 2000, the 

BLM has completed 75 RMP revisions and major plan 

amendments. Additionally, the BLM is currently involved 

in planning efforts on 45 new RMPs, all of which the agency expects to complete within the next three to four years. 

Planning updates are an ongoing part of the BLM’s mandate under FLPMA. In this process, the BLM often makes 

incremental modifications to the plans, and identifies 

lands that may be suitable for disposal. All of these planning modifications or revisions are made in compliance 

with the National Environmental Policy Act, and are 

undertaken through a process that invites full public participation. If the enactment date is again utilized as the 

cut-off date, the BLM may, in a few years, face the same 

challenges it does with the program today. Many of the 

high-valued lands have been sold and the remaining eligible lands are isolated or scattered parcels in remote areas 

with relatively low value. Eliminating the restriction to 

provide more flexibility on the lands eligible for FLTFA 

will allow the BLM to maintain a more consistent program 

over time. 

Third, the original FLTFA allows acquisitions of inholdings within, or special lands adjacent to Federal units 

only if those units existed prior to July 25, 2000. S. 714 

eliminates this limitation as well, and we support this 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
9 

change. In March of 2009, President Obama signed the 

Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 (Public 

Law 111–11) into law, which designates or expands numerous wilderness areas, wild and scenic rivers, national 

park units, and other units of the BLM’s National Landscape Conservation System. S. 714 will allow the use of 

FLTFA funds to acquire inholdings within these areas and 

areas designated by other legislation enacted after July 

2000. 

Finally, S. 714 adds exceptions to the FLTFA in recognition of specific laws that modify the FLTFA with respect 

to some particular locations. The FLTFA does not apply to 

lands available for sale under the Santini-Burton Act (P.L. 

96–586) and the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (P.L. 105–263). S. 714 additionally exempts 

lands included in the White Pine County Conservation, 

Recreation, and Development Act (P.L. 109–432) and the 

Lincoln County Conservation, Recreation and Development 

Act (P.L. 108–424). Finally, a number of provisions of the 

Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 (P.L. 111– 

11) modify FLTFA at specific sites or for specific purposes. 

These exceptions are also captured by S. 714. 

CONCLUSION

Thank you for the opportunity to testify in strong support of S. 714, the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation 

Act Reauthorization of 2011. By extending the FLTFA, the 

Congress will allow the BLM to continue a rational process 

of land disposal that is anchored in public participation 

and sound land use planning, while providing for land acquisitions to augment and strengthen our Nation’s treasured landscapes.
