Because title VIII would allow transferred permits to remain in effect under the terms of the original permit until that permit expires , CBO expects that the agencies would receive fewer requests for new permits in the next few years ; however , because those permits would need to be renewed in later years , CBO estimates that implementing the provision would have no significant net effect on agencies ' workloads over the 2014-2019 period . Finally , title VIII would exclude certain grazing lands from compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act ( NEPA ) and would exempt certain renewed or transferred grazing permits from NEPA requirements . CBO estimates that those provisions would have no effect on discretionary spending because we expect that any funds not spent on NEPA activities on those lands would be spent to reduce the agencies ' backlog of incomplete NEPA activities on other federal lands . '' ' Title IX , Stanislaus National Forest ' '' '' Formerly '' Title IX would direct the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture to conduct salvage sales of dead , damaged , or downed timber resulting from the 2013 Rim Fire in California . Sales of salvage timber under title IX would be exempted from certain laws related to the environment and forest management . In addition , sales conducted under title IX would not be subject to administrative or judicial review . CBO estimates that implementing title IX would have no significant net impact on the federal budget . Under current law , we expect that the Forest Service will sell significant amounts of salvage timber from areas affected by the 2013 Rim Fire over the next several years . In addition , based on information provided by the Forest Service , CBO expects that other factors , including a lack of manufacturing capacity and hazardous weather conditions in the affected areas , will prevent the agency from significantly increasing the amount of salvage timber sold under the bill . Finally , CBO expects that any increase in the amount of salvage timber sold in the affected areas would be partially offset by reductions in the sale of such timber in other national forests . '' ' Title X , Chesapeake Bay ' '' '' Formerly '' Title X would require the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) to develop , no later than one year after the bill 's enactment , a management plan for the Chesapeake Bay Program and for restoration activities related to the bay . EPA would be required to update the management plan every two years . The legislation would require new financial reports on the Chesapeake Bay Program from the Office of Management and Budget and would require EPA to appoint an independent evaluator , who would review and report to the Congress on the plan . Based on information from EPA , CBO estimates that implementing this legislation would cost about $ 1 million annually over the 2015-2019 period , subject to the availability of appropriated funds
