                          Purpose of the Bill

    The purpose of H.R. 5133 is to reauthorize the Federal Land 
Transaction Facilitation Act.

                  Background and Need for Legislation

    The Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (FLTFA, 43 
U.S.C. 2301 et seq.) established a self-funded federal program 
that, for more than a decade, facilitated strategic federal 
land sales by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to provide 
funding for high-priority land acquisition. FLTFA funds BLM, 
U.S. Forest Service (USFS), National Park Service (NPS), and 
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) land conservation 
projects that increase public access for outdoor recreation, 
hunting, and fishing as well as conservation of wildlife 
habitat. Funds are also used to protect water quality and 
preserve historic and cultural resources. FLTFA has resulted in 
a net reduction of the federal land estate by a 3 to 2 
ratio.\1\

    \1\The Conservation Fund, https://www.conservationfund.org/our-
work/conservation-fund-partnerships/conservation-policy/fltfa (accessed 
2/19/18).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    FLTFA was enacted in 2000 and expired in 2011. Under FLTFA, 
revenue generated through the BLM's land disposal process 
provided funding for high-priority land conservation. Land sale 
revenue is distributed in the following manner: 4% to the State 
in which the land is sold and 96% to the Federal Land Disposal 
Account. Of the funds acquired under FLTFA, 80% are required to 
be used for land acquisitions within the State in which funds 
were received, and 20% are to be used for land acquisitions in 
any of the other ten contiguous Western States or Alaska.
    For use of the land acquisition funds, nominations are 
submitted to BLM, and an interagency team (BLM, USFS, NPS and 
USFWS) evaluates and ranks proposals. A 2003 Interagency MOU 
recommended the distribution of land acquisition funds as 
follows: 60% for BLM, 20% for USFS; 10% for USFWS, and 10% for 
NPS. Approvals from the Secretaries of the Interior and 
Agriculture are required to authorize the funding.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\Ibid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    FLTFA's implementation between 2000-2011 resulted in BLM 
selling 27,249 acres of low-priority lands and federal agencies 
acquiring 18,093 acres of high-priority lands.\3\ These 
transactions allowed ranchers and farmers to expand operations 
by purchasing BLM lands adjacent to their properties. 
Additionally, BLM sold lands with timber interests, to real 
estate companies, community colleges, landfills, etc. Completed 
FLTFA land conservation projects have included river frontage 
for fly-fishing access at North Platte River Special Recreation 
Management Area, big-game winter habitat at Elk Springs Area of 
Critical Environmental Concern in New Mexico, and historic 
preservation at Canyons of the Ancients National Monument in 
Colorado.\4\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    H.R. 5133 permanently authorizes FLTFA. It also amends 
FLTFA to place an emphasis on wildlife-dependent recreation in 
support of sportsmen and women in land acquisitions under the 
law. It requires BLM to create and maintain a publicly-
available database of all lands available for disposal. 
Finally, it creates additional flexibility to more effectively 
and efficiently fund conservation in the Western States.

                            Committee Action

    H.R. 5133 was introduced on March 1, 2018, by Congressman 
Rob Bishop (R-UT). The bill was referred to the Committee on 
Natural Resources. On March 7, 2018, the Natural Resources 
Committee met to consider the bill. Congressman Rob Bishop 
offered an amendment designated #1; it was adopted by unanimous 
consent. No additional amendments were offered and the bill, as 
amended, was ordered favorably reported to the House of 
Representatives by unanimous consent.

            Committee Oversight Findings and Recommendations

    Regarding clause 2(b)(1) of rule X and clause 3(c)(1) of 
rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the 
Committee on Natural Resources' oversight findings and 
recommendations are reflected in the body of this report.

      Compliance With House Rule XIII and Congressional Budget Act

    1. Cost of Legislation and the Congressional Budget Act. 
With respect to the requirements of clause 3(c)(2) and (3) of 
rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives and 
sections 308(a) and 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974, the Committee has received the following estimate for the 
bill from the Director of the Congressional Budget Office:

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                     Washington, DC, April 5, 2018.
Hon. Rob Bishop,
Chairman, Committee on Natural Resources,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 5133, the Federal 
Land Transaction Facilitation Act Reauthorization of 2018.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Jeff LaFave.
            Sincerely,
                                                Keith Hall,
                                                          Director.
    Enclosure.

H.R. 5133--Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act Reauthorization of 
        2018

    CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5133 would not affect the 
federal budget because H.R. 1625, the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2018 (Public Law 115-141), which contained 
provisions similar to those in H.R. 5133, was enacted on March 
23, 2018.
    Because enacting H.R. 5133 would not affect direct spending 
or revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
    CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5133 also would not 
increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of 
the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.
    H.R. 5133 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector 
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
    The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Jeff LaFave. The 
estimate was approved by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant 
Director for Budget Analysis.
    2. General Performance Goals and Objectives. As required by 
clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII, the general performance goal or 
objective of this bill is to reauthorize the Federal Land 
Transaction Facilitation Act.

                           Earmark Statement

    This bill does not contain any Congressional earmarks, 
limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits as defined 
under clause 9(e), 9(f), and 9(g) of rule XXI of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives.

                    Compliance With Public Law 104-4

    This bill contains no unfunded mandates.

                       Compliance With H. Res. 5

    Directed Rule Making. This bill does not contain any 
directed rule makings.
    Duplication of Existing Programs. This bill does not 
establish or reauthorize a program of the federal government 
known to be duplicative of another program. Such program was 
not included in any report from the Government Accountability 
Office to Congress pursuant to section 21 of Public Law 111-139 
or identified in the most recent Catalog of Federal Domestic 
Assistance published pursuant to the Federal Program 
Information Act (Public Law 95-220, as amended by Public Law 
98-169) as relating to other programs.

                Preemption of State, Local or Tribal Law

    This bill is not intended to preempt any State, local or 
tribal law.

         Changes in Existing Law Made by the Bill, as Reported

  In compliance with clause 3(e) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, changes in existing law made by 
the bill, as reported, are shown as follows (existing law 
proposed to be omitted is enclosed in black brackets, new 
matter is printed in italics, and existing law in which no
