H.R. 1397, a bill to authorize, direct, facilitate, and expedite the transfer of administrative jurisdiction of certain Federal land, and for other purposes

H.R. 1397 would authorize the National Park Service (NPS) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) to exchange small parcels of land located in Fairfax County, Virginia. Specifically, the bill would transfer jurisdiction over 0.342 acres of land within the boundary of the George Washington Memorial Parkway from the NPS to DOT, and 0.479 acres of land within the boundary of the Federal Highway Administration’s Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center from DOT to the NPS.

Based on information provided by the NPS and DOT, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1397 would have no significant effect on the federal budget. Enacting H.R. 1397 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1397 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 1397 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandate Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.
