H.R. 954 would remove a use restriction 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 bill would have no effect on the federal budget.
Enacting H.R. 954 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, 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 2028.
H.R. 954 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.
On April 7, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 331 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 the budgetary effects are the same.
