305. Estimated Cost to the Federal Government:[By llscal year, In mllllOnS of dollars)1989 1990 1991 199? 1993Estimated authorization level ................................................................................... 10 (1) ......................Estimated outlays ..................................................................................................... (I) 10 ......................1 Less than $500,000.The costs of this bill fall within budget function 450.Basis of EstimateThe estimated costs of this bill reflect the authorization and distributionof $10 million for lump-sum payments of $20,000 each toeligible individuals choosing not to become members of either theHoopa Valley or Yurok Tribes. Based on information provided bythe BIA, the number of individuals expected to choose this optionis at least 500, the number that would exhaust $10 million authorization.Additional lump-sum and other payments required under thisbill would come out of the Settlement Fund, which would have abalance of more than $50 million. The Settlement Fund money iscurrently being held in escrow and, in the absence of legislation,would be available for distribution upon resolution of a pendingcourt claims. The estimate assumes that the bill would not significantlyaffect the timing or amount of spending of the amounts currentlyheld in escrow relative to current law.The administrative task associated with partitioning the reservationand the tribes are estimated to result in additional costs of approximately$500,000 in the first two fiscal years after enactment.We estimate no additional costs for land acquisition, based on informationprovided by the BIA that the agency would not exercisethe authority provided in the bill for such activity.
