receipts and are not expected to generate receipts over the next 10 years. In addition, the Forest Service does not have the authority to sell those lands under current law. Therefore, the CBO estimates that conveying the affected lands would not affect direct spending. Finally, because H.R. 1684 would require the state of Wyoming to cover the cost of surveying the affected lands, the CBO estimates that implementing the bill would have a minimal impact on discretionary spending. H.R. 1684 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. Procedural history The Ranch A Consolidation and Management Improvement Act was introduced into the United States House of Representatives on April 23, 2013 by Rep. Cynthia M. Lummis (R, WY-0). It was referred to the United States House Committee on Natural Resources and the United States House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation. The bill was reported by the committee on September 10, 2013 alongside House Report 113-198. On January 24, 2014, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor announced the H.R. 1684 would be considered under a suspension of the rules on January 27, 2014. Debate and discussion Rep. Lummis spoke in favor of the bill arguing that her bill would help the financial situation of the Ranch. She also said that, "by also incorporating the Babcock House, we have an opportunity to make the Ranch whole under the ownership and stewardship of the State of Wyoming, where it belongs and where it will flourish. The State and Foundation have invested in and effectively managed Ranch A for years now; they don’t need the federal government looking over their shoulder to continue doing so responsibly."
