                            [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

                    The  Committee on Energy  and Natural Resources, to which was
                  referred the bill (S. 909), to authorize the Secretary of the Interior
                  to convey certain land to La Paz County, Arizona, and for other
                  purposes, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon
                  without amendment  and recommends  that the bill do pass.
                                             PURPOSE
                    The purpose of S. 909 is to authorize the Secretary of the Interior
                  to convey certain land to La Paz County, Arizona.
                                       BACKGROUND  AND NEED
                    More  than 60 percent of the land within the county boundary of
                  La  Paz County, Arizona, is owned by the United States and man-
                  aged by the Secretary of the Interior through the Bureau of Land
                  Management   (BLM).  In 2019, section 1008 of Public Law 116-9,
                  the John  D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recre-
                  ation Act, authorized the conveyance to the County of 5,935 acres
                  of BLM  lands to allow the County to proceed with the development
                  of a large-scale solar farm.
                    S. 909 would require the Secretary of the Interior to convey an
                    additional 3,400 acres of BLM land in Arizona to La Paz County,
                  Arizona, at fair market value.
