FEDERAL LAND TRANSACTION FACILITATION ACT 

REAUTHORIZATION 

JUNE 27, 2013.—Ordered to be printed 

Mr. WYDEN, from the Committee on Energy and Natural 

Resources, submitted the following 

R E P O R T 

[To accompany S. 368] 

The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was 

referred the bill (S. 368) 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: 

On page 2, strike lines 5 through 10 and insert the following: 

(A) in subsection (a), by striking ‘‘(as in effect on the date of enactment 

of this Act)’’; and 

(B) by striking subsection (d); 

PURPOSE

The purpose of S. 368, as ordered reported, is to reauthorize the 

Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act. 

BACKGROUND AND NEED

Congress enacted the Federal Land Transaction and Facilitation 

Act (FLTFA) in 2000 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. The 

authorization for FLTFA expired on July 25, 2011. 

Since the enactment of FLTFA in 2000, the BLM has used the 

FLTFA authority to sell 309 parcels previously identified for disposal, totaling 29,437 acres, with a total value of approximately 

$113.4 million. During the same time period, the Federal government has acquired 28 parcels totaling 16,738 acres, with a total 

value of approximately $43.8 million. An additional 11 parcels, totaling 1,282 acres and valued at approximately $23 million, have 

been approved for acquisition. 

The original authorization for FLTFA expired on July 25, 2010. 

The law was reauthorized for an additional year in section 3007 of 

Public Law 111–212, the FY 2010 Supplemental Appropriations 

Act. However, because the reauthorization was signed into law on 

July 29, 2010, four days after the FLTFA expiration date, approximately $50 million in the FLTFA special account that was to be 

used for land acquisition was instead deposited into the Treasury. 

The authority for FLTFA terminated on July 25, 2011. As ordered reported, S. 368 would permanently reauthorize the program. 

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY

S. 368 was introduced by Senator Heinrich and others on February 14, 2013. The bill has 8 co-sponsors. A hearing was held on 

S. 368 by the Subcommittee on Public Lands, Forests, and Mining 

on April 25, 2013. At its business meeting on May 16, 2013, the 

Committee reported the bill favorably with amendment. 

Similar legislation, S. 714, was introduced by Senator Bingaman 

and others in the 112th Congress. The Subcommittee on Public 

Lands and Forests held a hearing on S. 714 on May 25, 2011 (S. 

Hrg. 112–131). At its business meeting on July 14, 2011, the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources ordered S. 714 favorably 

reported with an amendment. During the 111th Congress, the 

Committee considered similar legislation, S. 1787, also sponsored 

by Senator Bingaman. The Subcommittee on Public Lands and Forests held a hearing on S. 1787 on December 17, 2009 (S. Hrg. 111– 

364). The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources considered 

the bill and adopted amendments at its business meeting on June 

16, 2010. The Committee ordered S. 1787 favorably reported, as 

amended, at its business meeting on June 21, 2010 (S. Rept. 111– 

260). 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, in 

open business session on May 16, 2013, by a voice vote of a quorum 

present, recommends that the Senate pass S. 368, if amended as 

described herein. 

COMMITTEE AMENDMENT

During its consideration of S. 368, the Committee adopted an 

amendment to permanently authorize the program and to make 

any lands identified for disposal in applicable BLM land management plans eligible for consideration under FLPMA.

SECTION-BY-SECTION ANALYSIS

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

Facilitation Act Reauthorization of 2013’’. 

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) 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 eliminates the 

original sunset provision for 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 

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. 368—Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act Reauthorization 

of 2013 

Summary: S. 368 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 the 

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 2014– 

2023 period—primarily because spending would lag behind collections over the next 10 years. Because S. 368 would affect direct 

spending, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting the legislation 

would not affect revenues. 

S. 368 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. 368 is shown in the following table. The costs

a. The amounts of sale proceeds shown in the table reflect expected increases in collections under S. 368. In addition, CBO estimates that the Bureau of Land Management will collect $10 million over the 2014–2023 period for such sales under current law. 

Basis of estimate: For this estimate, CBO assumes that the legislation will be enacted late in 2013. 

Under current law, proceeds from the sale of BLM land are deposited in the Treasury as offsetting receipts (which are treated as 

reductions in direct spending). CBO estimates that such proceeds 

will total $10 million over the 2014–2023 period. Because, under 

the bill, BLM could spend those proceeds to pay for administrative 

costs associated with land sales, CBO estimates that implementing 

the legislation would lead to more sales, thus proceeds (relative to 

current law) would increase by $80 million over the next 10 years. 

Overall, we estimate that gross proceeds from the sale of BLM land 

would total around $90 million over 2014–2023 period. 

CBO estimates, however, that annual proceeds from the sale of 

BLM land over the next 10 years would be lower (on average) than 

historical collections under FLTFA, which expired in 2011. Over 

the 2001–2011 period, proceeds under the program totaled roughly 

$120 million, with most of that amount generated by sales near 

urban areas in Nevada and Arizona in 2006 and 2007. Because the 

amount of future proceeds is related to economic conditions in 

those areas, we expect that gross proceeds in the future would be 

significantly lower, although they would increase over the 10-year 

period as additional sales take place near 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 2014–2023 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 spend $75 million over 

the 2014–2023 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. 368 would 

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

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. 368. 

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. 368, as ordered reported. 

CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING

S. 368, as 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 April 25, 2013, Subcommittee on Public Lands, Forests, and 

Mining hearing on S. 368 follows: 

STATEMENT OF JAMIE CONNELL, ACTING DEPUTY DIRECTOR, 

BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, DEPARTMENT OF THE

INTERIOR

Thank you for the opportunity to testify on S. 368, the 

Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (FLTFA) Reauthorization. The Administration strongly supports S. 368 

and encourages the Congress to move swiftly to reauthorize the FLTFA. Over the past decade, the Department of 


jbell on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
6 

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. The FLTFA expired on July 25, 

2011. Under the FLTFA, the Bureau of Land Management 

(BLM) could sell public lands identified for disposal 

through 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 and the other Federal 

land managing agencies were then able to 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 were 

able to 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. Over the life of the FLTFA, approximately 

27,200 acres were sold under this authority and approximately 18,100 acres of high resource value lands were acquired. 

The President’s fiscal year 2014 Budget includes a proposal to permanently reauthorize FLTFA, 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 disVerDate Mar 15 2010 03:05 Jul 02, 2013 Jkt 029010 PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6969 E:\HR\OC\SR061.XXX SR061

posal. 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 increased sales under the program; however market conditions in the later years led to less robust sales. 

Since it was enacted, the BLM utilized FLTFA to sell 

330 parcels previously identified for disposal totaling 

27,249 acres, with a total value of approximately $117.4 

million. Over the same time period, the Federal government acquired 37 parcels totaling 18,535 acres, with a 

total value of approximately $50.4 million using FLTFA 

authority. 

Some lands identified for disposal and sold through the 

FLTFA process were 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 deposited 

$112.8 million into the Federal Land Disposal Account. 

That figure represents 96% of the total revenues from 

these sales. Approximately $4.7 million was 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 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. 


jbell on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
8 

• 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 some of the Park’s outstanding geologic formations. These areas were previously target 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. 368

S. 368 would both reauthorize and enhance the original 

FLTFA through four major changes. First, the bill extends 

the program to July 2021. The Department recommends 

eliminating the sunset altogether to enable the BLM to 

plan for and implement this program on a longer-term 

basis. 

Second, under the original FLTFA, only lands identified 

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

S. 368 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. 368 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 

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

BLM has completed over 75 RMP revisions and major plan 

amendments. Additionally, the BLM is currently involved 

in planning efforts on 57 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 particiVerDate Mar 15 2010 03:05 Jul 02, 2013 Jkt 029010 PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6969 E:\HR\OC\SR061.XXX SR061

pation. If the enactment date is again utilized as the cutoff date, the BLM may, in a few years, face the same challenges it does with the program today. Many of the highvalued 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 allowed acquisitions of 

inholdings within, or adjacent to, certain Federal units 

such as BLM conservation units, National Parks, National 

Wildlife Refuges, and certain Forest Service units if they 

existed prior to July 25, 2000. S. 368 eliminates this limitation as well, and we support this change. 

Finally, S. 368 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. 368 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. 368. 

CONCLUSION

Thank you for the opportunity to testify in strong support of S. 368, the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation 

Act Reauthorization. By reauthorizing 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.
