H.R. 586
Denali National Park Improvement Act
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on July 24, 2013
Based on information provided by the National Park Service (NPS), CBO estimates that
implementing H.R. 586 would have no significant impact on the federal budget. The bill
would:
 Authorize the Secretary of the Interior to issue permits for microhydroelectric
projects in the Kantishna Hills area of the Denali National Park and Preserve in
Alaska;
 Authorize an exchange of land between the Department of the Interior and Doyon
Tourism, Inc.;
 Authorize the NPS to issue permits to construct a natural gas pipeline in the Denali
National Park; and
 Redesignate the Talkeetna Ranger Station as the Walter Harper Talkeetna Ranger
Station.
Enacting H.R. 586 could increase offsetting receipts (from permit fees) and associated
direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. If potential owners or
operators of a pipeline seek permits from the NPS, the agency could collect a fee to recover
any costs associated with issuing such permits. NPS would retain and spend those amounts
to process the permit without further appropriation, and any excess receipts would be
deposited in the Treasury. CBO estimates that the total collections under the legislation
would be insignificant over the 2014-2023 period, and the net effect on direct spending
would be negligible. Enacting the legislation would not affect revenues.
H.R. 586 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.
