H.R. 2394, National Forest Foundation Reauthorization Act of 2015 1 (May 29, 2015)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo2249 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE May 29, 2015 H.R. 2394 National Forest Foundation Reauthorization Act of 2015 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Agriculture on May 20, 2015 SUMMARY H.R. 2394 would authorize the appropriation of $3 million a year through 2018 to support the National Forest Foundation. The foundation is a nonprofit corporation established by federal law that awards grants to maintain recreational resources, such as trails, and to restore watersheds, wildlife habitats, and plant species within national forests and grasslands. The foundation also carries out activities to educate individuals about the National Forest System. Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would cost $9 million over the 2016-2018 period. Because enacting H.R. 2394 would not affect direct spending or revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. H.R. 2394 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments. ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The estimated budgetary effect of H.R. 2394 is shown in the following table. The costs of this legislation fall within budget function 300 (natural resources and environment). For this estimate, CBO assumes that the bill will be enacted in 2015 and that the authorized amounts will be appropriated for each fiscal year. Estimated outlays are based on historical spending patterns for grants to the National Forest Foundation.
