                                   H.R. 87
           Shiloh National Military Park Boundary Adjustment
           and Parker's Crossroads Battlefield Designation Act

 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on March 16, 2016


 H.R. 87 would revise the boundary of the Shiloh National Military Park in Mississippi to
 include three additional Civil War battlefield areas over approximately 2,100 acres. The
bill stipulates that the National Park Service (NPS) may acquire the additional land through
donation, with donated funds, with appropriated amounts, or through a land exchange. The
bill also would designate Parker's Crossroads Battlefield in Henderson County, Tennessee,
as an affiliated area of the National Park System and would direct the NPS to develop a
management plan for the area.

Based on recent sale prices of comparable tracts of land in the areas where land would be
purchased, and information from the NPS, CBO estimates that implementing the
legislation would cost $2 million to $5 million over the 2017-2021 period, assuming the
land was acquired with appropriated funds over the next five years. Based on information
from the NPS, the cost of developing the management plan required by the legislation
would be insignificant.

Because enacting H.R. 87 would not affect direct spending or revenues, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 87 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2027.

H.R. 87 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal
governments.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Marin Burnett. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
