         North  Country   National  Scenic Trail Route  Adjustment Act

   As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on April 18, 2018


 H.R. 1026 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.

 Using information from the National Park Service, which administers the trail, and
 assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO estimates that implementing
 H.R. 1026 would cost about $5 million over the 2019-2023 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 H.R. 1026 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-
 go procedures do not apply.

 CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 1026 would not increase net direct spending or on-
 budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

 H.R. 1026 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded Mandates Reform  Act.

 On April 17, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 363, the North Country
 National Scenic Trail Route Adjustment Act, as ordered reported by the Senate
 Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on March 30, 2017. The two bills are
 similar, and CBO's estimates of their budgetary effects are the same.

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