                                    S. 363
       North  Country   National  Scenic Trail  Route  Adjustment   Act

    As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
                               on March 30, 2017


S. 363 would revise the route of the North Country National Scenic Trail, which currently
runs through seven states from New York to North Dakota. Specifically, the bill would
connect the trail to the Appalachian Scenic Trail in Vermont, adding about 550 miles to its
overall length.

Based on information provided by the National Park Service, which administers the trail,
and assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO estimates that implementing
S. 363 would cost about $5 million over the 2018-2022 period. Most of that amount would
be spent to acquire private land (or easements on that land) along the new trail segment.
CBO  estimates that ongoing costs to develop, manage, and maintain the added property
would be negligible.

Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting S. 363 would not increase net direct
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in
2028.

S. 363 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 Jon Sperl. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
