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

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

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 


lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with REPORTS
5 

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 change is proposed is shown in
