H.R. 965 would redesignate the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in Sullivan County, New Hampshire, as the Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park. The National Park Service (NPS) manages national historic sites and national historical parks. (National historical parks are typically larger and contain more properties and structures than national historic sites.)
Redesignating the site may require NPS to update maps, handouts, and signage. Based on the costs of similar tasks, CBO estimates that those costs would be insignificant and would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
Enacting H.R. 965 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 965 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.
H.R. 965 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
On August 18, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 965, the Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park Redesignation Act, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on July 26, 2017. The two versions of the legislation are similar, and CBO’s estimates of their budgetary effects are the same.
