H.R. 1785
Mountains to Sound Greenway National Heritage Area Act
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on November 19, 2014
H.R. 1785 would establish approximately 1.5 million acres of land in the state of
Washington as the Mountains to Sound Greenway National Heritage Area. The bill would
direct the Secretary of the Interior to select a local entity to develop a plan to manage lands
within the proposed heritage area, subject to the Secretary's approval. The bill would
prohibit the Secretary from providing federal funds to the selected local entity for purposes
of managing the proposed area.
CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1785 would have a negligible effect on the federal
budget. Based on information from the National Park Service and assuming the availability
of appropriated funds, CBO estimates that the agency would spend less than $500,000 to
review the proposed management plan and carry out other routine activities related to
overseeing heritage areas. Enacting H.R. 1785 would not affect direct spending or
revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 1785 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. Any costs to state, local, or tribal entities resulting from
designation of the region as a National Heritage Area would be incurred voluntarily.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Megan Carroll. The estimate was approved by
Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
