                                   S. 2839
    To amend the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Act to extend the
              authorization for the Gullah/Geechee Cultural
                      Heritage Corridor Commission

    As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
                                on July 13, 2016


S. 2839 would extend the authorization for the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor
Commission (commission) through October 12, 2021. The Gullah/Geechee Corridor was
established as a heritage area in 2006 and is not part of the National Park System (NPS).
While the Secretary of the Interior provides technical and financial assistance for the
development and implementation of the area's management plan, that plan is implemented
by the commission.

Under current law, only the commission can implement the heritage area's management
plan and spend funds appropriated for that purpose. Although the heritage corridor is
authorized through October 12, 2021, the commission is authorized only through
October 12, 2016.

Based on information from the NPS, CBO expects that if the authority for the commission
is not extended, any funds appropriated for the corridor would be used for other purposes.
Therefore, CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not result in significant
additional costs to the federal government over the 2017-2021 period.

Because enacting S. 2839 would not affect direct spending or revenues, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting S. 2839 would not increase net direct
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in
2027.

S. 2839 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.

On August 4, 2016, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 3004, to amend the
Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Act to extend the authorization for the Gullah/Geechee
Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission, as reported by the Senate Committee on Energy
