S. 2219 would direct the Department of Commerce (DOC) to enter into a joint memorandum with the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior to conduct an assessment and analysis of the outdoor recreation economy and issue a report. On the basis of information from the affected departments, CBO estimates that implementing S. 2219 would require an additional four or five people to conduct the study and issue the report and would cost $2 million over the 2017-2021 period; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
Enacting S. 2219 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting S. 2219 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.
S. 2219 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.
