H.R. 2569
Upper Missisquoi and Trout Wild and Scenic Rivers Act
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on May 29, 2014
H.R. 2569 would designate segments of the Missisquoi and Trout Rivers in the state of
Vermont as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The legislation
would exclude certain hydroelectric projects from the designation. Based on information
provided by the National Park Service (NPS), CBO estimates that implementing the bill
would cost about $1 million over the 2015-2019 period, assuming the availability of the
necessary amounts. Under the legislation, NPS would administer the river segments in
partnership with an advisory committee composed of local representatives. Based on the
cost of similar management partnerships in the region, CBO estimates that NPS would
provide $175,000 annually to the advisory committee to manage the river segments.
Enacting H.R. 2569 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.
H.R. 2569 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.
On January 8, 2014, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 1252, the Upper Missisquoi
and Trout Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on
Energy and Natural Resources on November 21, 2013. The two pieces of legislation are
similar, and the CBO cost estimates are the same.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Martin von Gnechten. The estimate was
approved by Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
