                                 H.R. 3480
  Fort Frederica National Monument Boundary Expansion Act of 2015

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on June 15, 2016


H.R. 3480 would authorize the expansion of the Fort Frederica National Monument on
St. Simons Island, Georgia, by increasing the maximum acreage from 250 to 305 acres.
The monument preserves the archaeological remnants of a fort established in 1736 by
James Oglethorpe, the founder of the state of Georgia.

The National Park Service (NPS) would be permitted to expand the monument boundary
only through donations or purchases of land made using appropriated funds. According to
the NPS, the existing park boundary exceeds the current acreage cap. The legislation would
expand the cap to accommodate the current size of the monument and permit the NPS to
acquire about 20 additional acres. Based on information the county provided to the NPS
about the value of different parcels, CBO estimates that the cost of acquiring certain
properties that are adjacent to the monument would be about $1 million.

Enacting H.R. 3480 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3480 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2027.

H.R. 3480 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates ad defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform act and would impose no costs on state, local, and 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.
