[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

The Committee on Resources, to whom was referred the bill

(H.R. 2234) to revise the boundary of the Tumacacori National Historical Park in the State of Arizona, having considered the same,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Tumacacori National Historical Park Boundary Revision Act of 2001’’.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following:

(1) Tumacacori Mission in southern Arizona was declared a National Monument in 1908 in recognition of its great historical significance as ‘‘one of the oldest mission ruins in the southwest’’.

(2) In establishing Tumacacori National Historical Park in 1990 to include the

Tumacacori Mission and the ruins of the mission of Los Santos Angeles de

Guevavi and the Kino visita and rancheria of Calabazas, Congress recognized

the importance of these sites ‘‘to protect and interpret, for the education and

benefit of the public, sites in the State of Arizona associated with the early

Spanish missionaries and explorers of the 17th and 18th centuries’’.

(3) Tumacacori National Historical Park plays a major role in interpreting the

Spanish colonial heritage of the United States.

(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this Act are—

(1) to protect and interpret the resources associated with the Tumacacori Mission by revising the boundary of Tumacacori National Historical Park to include

approximately 310 acres of land adjacent to the park; and

(2) to enhance the visitor experience at Tumacacori by developing access to

these associated mission resources.

SEC. 3. BOUNDARY REVISION, TUMACACORI NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, ARIZONA.

Section 1(b) of Public Law 101–344 (16 U.S.C. 410ss(b)) is amended—

(1) by inserting after the first sentence the following new sentence: ‘‘The park

shall also consist of approximately 310 acres of land adjacent to the original

Tumacacori unit of the park and generally depicted on the map entitled

‘Tumacacori National Historical Park, Arizona Proposed Boundary Revision

2001’, numbered 310/80,044, and dated July 2001.’’; and

(2) in the last sentence—

(A) by striking ‘‘The map’’ and inserting ‘‘The maps’’; and

(B) by striking ‘‘the offices’’ and inserting ‘‘the appropriate offices’’.

PURPOSE OF THE BILL

The purpose of H.R. 2234 is to revise the boundary of the

Tumacacori National Historical Park in the State of Arizona, and

for other purposes.

BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION

Tumacacori was part of a chain of missions in the Pimeria Alta

(land of the Upper Pima Indians) established by the Spanish from

north-central Sonora, Mexico, to San Xavier del Bac near presentday Tucson, Arizona. The mission was established by Father Kino

in 1691 and a Jesuit mission was constructed at the site in the

1730’s. Franciscans later re-established a mission after 1767 and a

new church was completed in 1822. In 1908, President Theodore

Roosevelt set aside nine acres immediately around the church and

declared Tumacacori a National Monument. Over time, the boundaries have been changed to include other significant missions and

in 1990 the Monument was declared a National Historical Park.

The park’s general management plan was identified the need to

acquire additional lands from willing sellers so that park support

facilities could be built away from the historic scene, and to obtain

the rest of a mission orchard. The boundary expansion would allow

the Park Service to replant the orchard and add a program with

livestock and farming, develop more of the Juan bautista de Anza

National Historic Trail that now exists on private land between

Tumacacori and Tubac, and partner with communities all along the

river to further develop the recreational and educational values of

the trail.

COMMITTEE ACTION

H.R. 2234 was introduced on June 19, 2001 by Representative Ed

Pastor (D–AZ) and was referred to the Committee on Resources.

On June 22, 2001, the bill was referred within the Committee to

the Subcommittee on National Parks, Recreation and Public Lands.

On November 13, 2001, the Subcommittee held a hearing on the

bill. On November 15, 2001, the Subcomittee met to mark up the

bill. Representative George Radanovich (R–CA) offered a technical

amendment to ensure the bill referred to the appropriate map. It

was adopted by unanimous consent. The bill, as amended, was then

forwarded to the Full Committee by unanimous consent. On November 28, 2001, the Full Resources Committee met to consider the

bill. There were no further amendments, and the bill was ordered

favorably reported to the House of Representatives by unanimous

consent.

COMMITTEE OVERSIGHT FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Regarding clause 2(b)(1) of rule X and clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII

of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee on Resources’ oversight findings and recommendations are reflected in

the body of this report.

CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY STATEMENT

Article I, section 8, and Article IV, section 3 of the Constitution

of the United States grant Congress the authority to enact this bill.

COMPLIANCE WITH HOUSE RULE XIII

1. Cost of Legislation.—Clause 3(d)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of

the House of Representatives requires an estimate and a comparison by the Committee of the costs which would be incurred in carrying out this bill. However, clause 3(d)(3)(B) of that rule provides

that this requirement does not apply when the Committee has included in its report a timely submitted cost estimate of the bill prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget Office under section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.

2. Congressional Budget Act.—As required by clause 3(c)(2) of

rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives and section

308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, this bill does not

contain any new budget authority, spending authority, credit authority, or an increase or decrease in revenues or tax expenditures.

3. General Performance Goals and Objectives.—This bill does not

authorize funding and therefore, clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII of the

Rules of the House Representatives does not apply.

4. Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate.—Under clause

3(c)(3) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives and

section 403 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Committee has received the following cost estimate for this bill from the

Director of the Congressional Budget Office.

U.S. CONGRESS,

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE,

Washington, DC, December 4, 2001.

Hon. JAMES V. HANSEN,

Chairman, Committee on Resources,

House of Representatives, Washington, DC.

DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: The Congressional Budget Office has prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 2234, the Tumacacori National Historical Park Boundary Revision Act of 2001.

If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be pleased

to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Deborah Reis.

Sincerely,

BARRY B. ANDERSON

(For Dan L. Crippen, Director).

H.R. 2234—Tumacacori National Historical Park Boundary Revision Act of 2001

H.R. 2234 would expand the boundary of the Tumacacori National Historic Park in Arizona. Adjusting the boundary would enVerDate 11-MAY-2000 05:11 Dec 08, 2001 Jkt 099006 PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR327.XXX pfrm01 PsN: HR327

able the National Park Service (NPS) to acquire about 310 acres

of land adjacent to the existing parks, which currently consists of

about 46 acres.

Assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost the federal government about $3 million over the next five years and about $100,000

annually thereafter. We estimate that the NPS would spend between $2 million and $2.5 million of this amount over the next year

or two to purchase the land that would be added to the park by

this bill. An estimated $350,000 would be spent over the following

two or three years to improve a trail system and rehabilitate an

orchard on the property. We estimate that recurring operation and

maintenance costs for the park would increase by about $100,000

a year assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts.

H.R. 2234 would not affect direct spending; therefore pay-as-yougo procedures would not apply. The legislation contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would have no significant impact

on the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Deborah Reis. This estimate was approved by Peter H. Fontaine, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.

COMPLIANCE WITH PUBLIC LAW 104–4

This bill contains no unfunded mandates.

PREEMPTION OF STATE, LOCAL OR TRIBAL LAW

This bill is not intended to preempt any State, local or tribal law.

House of Representatives, changes in existing law made by the bill,
