                                H.R. 3620
   A bill to amend the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
Improvement Act to provide access to certain vehicles serving residents of
municipalities adjacent to the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation
                       Area, and for other purposes

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


H.R. 3620 would permit certain commercial vehicles to pass through the Delaware Water
Gap National Recreation Area and allow the Department of Interior (DOI) to collect an
annual fee up to $200 from the users of those vehicles until September 30, 2020.

The National Park Service (NPS) would be authorized to spend the fees collected to offset
the cost of operating the program.

Because the legislation would allow NPS to collect fees from commercial vehicles,
H.R. 3620 would increase offsetting receipts from permit fees and associated direct
spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, based on information
from NPS, CBO estimates that the net effect on direct spending would be insignificant.
Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3620 would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits by more than $5 billion in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2027.

H.R. 3620 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.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Marin Burnett. The estimate was approved by
Theresa Gullo, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
