                                     S. 217
    A bill to amend  the Denali  National  Park Improvement Act to clarify
    certain provisions relating to the natural gas pipeline  authorized  in the
                      Denali  National  Park  and Preserve

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


 Based on information provided by the National Park Service (NPS), CBO estimates that
 implementing S. 217 would have no significant effect on the federal budget. The bill
 would:

    *  Expand the area in Denali National Park in Alaska where the NPS may issue
       right-of-way permits for the development of natural gas and utility pipelines; and

    *  Exempt applications for right-of-way permits from certain provisions of the Alaska
       National Interest Lands Conservation Act that require multiple federal agencies to
       review such projects.

 If pipeline operators seek additional right-of-way permits from the NPS as a result of
 S. 217's enactment, the agency could collect and spend additional fees to recover costs
 associated with issuing permits. CBO estimates that total collections under the bill would
 be insignificant over the 2018-2027 period, and the net effect on direct spending would be
 negligible. Because enacting S. 217 would affect direct spending, pay-as-you-go
 procedures apply. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.

 CBO  estimates that enacting S. 217 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
 deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

 S. 217 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.
