                        Recreation Not Red Tape Act

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


SUMMARY

H.R. 3400 would change the ways that certain federal agencies issue special recreation
permits and recover costs associated with the permitting process. The bill also would
encourage agencies to improve access to certain federal lands and would enhance existing
volunteer programs. Finally, the bill would codify an existing program offering all fourth
grade students free admission to federal lands and waters.

Using information provided by the affected agencies, CBO estimates that implementing
the bill would cost $7 million over the 2019-2023 period; such spending would be subject
to the availability of appropriated funds.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3400 would affect the amount of fees (which are
treated as changes in direct spending) collected by the affected agencies; therefore, pay-
as-you-go procedures apply. However, because the affected agencies have the authority
to spend those fees, any change in collections would be offset by a corresponding change
in spending, and the net effect on direct spending in any year would be negligible.
Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3400 would not increase net direct spending or on-
budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

H.R. 3400 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
