                                  H.R.   1135
   A bill to reauthorize  the Historically Black  Colleges  and  Universities
                       Historic  Preservation  Program

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on April 27, 2017


H.R. 1135 would authorize the appropriation of $10 million annually from 2018 through
2024 for the Historic Preservation Fund to provide grants for the restoration and
preservation of historic buildings at Historically Black Colleges and Universities
(HBCUs).  No funds have been appropriated for this program since 2009.

Although the legislation would authorize an annual appropriation of $10 million through
2024, CBO  estimates that demand for the preservation grants would be less than that
amount. Information from the National Park Service (NPS) suggests that many eligible
institutions cannot provide the 30 percent of the project cost from nonfederal funds that is
required under current law to receive a preservation grant. Based on an analysis of
information from the NPS about the expected number of grant applications and the amount
of a typical grant award, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would cost about
$3 million a year and $16 million over the 2018-2022 period, assuming appropriation of
the estimated amounts.

Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1135 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2028.

H.R. 1135 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates 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.
