                                  H.R.  2897
     An  act to authorize the Mayor   of the District of Columbia  and  the
     Secretary   of the Interior to enter into cooperative  management
                                  agreements

     As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
                                 on May 17, 2018


H.R. 2897 would authorize the District of Columbia to enter into cooperative
management  agreements (CMAs) with the National Parks Service (NPS) to operate and
maintain NPS parks located within its borders. The NPS uses CMAs to establish
cooperative practices, to address the use of shared resources that touch both NPS and
state or local lands, and to transfer funds to perform work on such resources. Under
current law, state and local governments can enter into CMAs with the NPS. The act
would clarify that the District of Columbia may also enter into such agreements.

CBO  estimates that implementing H.R. 2897 would result in no significant cost to the
federal government. According to the NPS, any maintenance or repair project affected by
a CMA  would generally be completed by the NPS whether or not such an agreement is in
place.

Enacting H.R. 2897 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-
go procedures do not apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 2897 would not increase net direct spending or on-
budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

H.R. 2897 contains no intergovernmental or private sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

On August 16, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 2897, as ordered reported
by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on July 19, 2017. On
October 17, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 2897, as ordered reported by
the House Committee on Natural Resources on October 4, 2017. All of the versions of
the legislation are similar, and CBO's estimates of the 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.
