H.R. 2288 would remove restrictions in the deed for a parcel of land that was conveyed by the National Park Service (NPS) to Rockingham County, Virginia. That restriction stipulates that the land can only be used for a public park and a child care center. Based on information provided by the NPS, CBO estimates that implementing the act would have no effect on the federal budget. Because enacting H.R. 2288 would not affect direct spending or revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.
H.R. 2288 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.
On October 5, 2015, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 2288, a bill to remove the use restrictions on certain land transferred to Rockingham County, Virginia, and for other purposes, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on September 10, 2015. The two versions of the legislation are similar and CBO’s estimates of the budgetary effects are the same.
