U                           COST ESTIMATE
                                                              October 17, 2017


                                 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 Natural Resources on October 4, 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.

On August 16, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 2897, as ordered reported
by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on July 19, 2017. The
two versions of H.R. 2897 are identical and CBO's estimates of the budgetary effects are
the same.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Janani Shankaran. The estimate was approved
by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
