H.R. 984 would require the National Park Service (NPS) to study the feasibility of designating the Chief Standing Bear Trail in the states of Nebraska and Oklahoma as a national historic trail. For that study, the Secretary of the Interior would be required to consider input from private owners of land within or adjacent to the area. Based on information provided by the NPS, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would cost about $500,000 over the next year or two, assuming availability of appropriated funds. Enacting H.R. 984 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 984 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.
