opment on Federal lands in the State. In essence, 
the State government and Federal Government were 
to be partners in the mineral production that takes 
place on Federal lands. 
(2) The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 
(Public Law 110–161) reduces these State receipts 
by as much as 2 percent for fiscal year 2008. 
(3) The States have at least as much interest 
in public lands within their borders as does the cen-
tral Federal Government. 
(4) The Federal Government does not pay prop-
erty taxes for public lands to States or localities in 
any form approaching financial equity. As a con-
sequence, those States in which there are Federal 
public land holdings are denied revenues that are 
needed for necessary public purposes, such as edu-
cation, roads, and hospitals. This creates a burden 
on private owners of property. The burden is greater 
for private owners of property in States with larger 
Federal public land holdings. 
(5) The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 
will have a negative impact on mineral producing 
Western States.
