H.R. 2626 would redesignate the Pullman National Monument in Chicago, Illinois, as the Pullman National Historical Park. The bill would authorize the Secretary of the Interior to enter into cooperative agreements and provide technical assistance to public and nonprofit entities to preserve the park. H.R. 2626 also would authorize the Secretary to acquire land for the historical park through donation, land exchange, or purchase with donated or appropriated funds. Finally, the Secretary would be required to complete a management plan for the park three years after funds are first made available.
Using information from the National Park Service, CBO expects that the redesignation would not affect the cost of operating the park. Thus, CBO estimates that administrative costs, including creating the management plan and updating maps, informational material, and signage, would be insignificant over the 2022-2027 period; any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
