                                H.R.   2897
A bill to authorize the Mayor  of the District of Columbia  and the Director
    of the National Park  Service to enter into cooperative management
  agreements   for the operation, maintenance,  and  management of units
       of the National Park  System  in the District of Columbia, and
                             for other purposes

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
                               on July 19, 2017


H.R. 2897 would authorize the District of Columbia to enter into cooperative management
agreements (CMAs) with the National Parks Service (NPS) to operate and maintain NPS
parks located within its borders. The NPS uses CMAs to establish cooperative practices, to
address the use of shared resources that touch both NPS and state or local lands, and to
transfer funds to perform work on such resources. Under current law, state and local
governments can enter into CMAs with the NPS. The bill would clarify that the District of
Columbia may also enter into such agreements.

CBO  estimates that implementing H.R. 2897 would result in no significant cost to the
federal government. According to the NPS, any maintenance or repair project affected by a
CMA  would generally be completed by the NPS whether or not such an agreement is in
place. Enacting H.R. 2897 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore,
pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 2897 would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 2897 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 Janani Shankaran. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
