                                  H.R. 894
   A bill to extend the authorization of the Highlands Conservation Act

          As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources
                              on February 3, 2016


SUMMARY

H.R. 894 would authorize the appropriation of $11 million a year through 2021 to conserve
land and natural resources in four northeastern states. CBO estimates that implementing
the legislation would cost $62 million over the 2016-2021 period and $4 million after
2021, assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts.

Because enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 894 would not increase net
direct spending or budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning
in 2027.

H.R. 894 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). Any costs incurred by state, local, or tribal
governments, including matching contributions, would result from participation in a
voluntary federal program.
