1 S. 2102, Acadia National Park Boundary Clarification Act [1] (June 6, 2016)

handle is hein.congrec/acanatpb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE June 6, 2018 S. 2102 Acadia National Park Boundary Clarification Act As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on May 17, 2018 S. 2102 would confirm the boundary of Acadia National Park in Maine. The National Park Service (NPS), which manages the park, administratively adjusted the boundary in 2015 when the agency accepted the donation of 1,441 acres of land for inclusion within the park. The bill also would permanently authorize that park's advisory commission and would require the NPS to allow traditional harvesting of marine species within and near park boundaries in accordance with the laws of the state of Maine. Finally, S. 2102 would require the NPS to convey a 0.29-acre parcel of land located within the park to the Town of Bar Harbor. Based on the budgets for Acadia National Park and other units of the National Park System, CBO estimates that allowing traditional harvesting activities would lead to an increase in management, monitoring, and enforcement costs at the park, but such costs would total less than $500,000 over the 2019-2023 period. In addition, using information from the NPS, CBO estimates that the agency would incur roughly $50,000 in administrative costs associated with the land conveyance to the Town of Bar Harbor. Such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Enacting S. 2102 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting S. 2102 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029. S. 2102 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. On December 21, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 4266, the Acadia National Park Boundary Clarification Act, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on December 13, 2017. The pieces of legislation are similar, and CBO's estimates of their budgetary effects are the same. The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Janani Shankaran. The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
