COST AND BUDGETARY CONSIDERATIONS

The following estimate of the cost of this measure has been provided by the Congressional Budget Office:

6

U.S. CONGRESS, CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE, Washington, DC, March 2, 2004. 

Hon. PETE V. DOMENICI, 

Chairman, Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, 

U.S. Senate, Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: The Congressional Budget Office has prepared the enclosed cost estimate for the National Park System 

Laws Technical Amendments Act of 2004. 

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

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

Sincerely, 

ELIZABETH M. ROBINSON

(For Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Director). 

Enclosure. 

S. 2178—National Park System Laws Technical Amendments Act of 

2004 

The National Park System Laws Technical Amendments Act of 

2004 would amend various statutes that govern the activities of the 

National Park Service. Most of the proposed amendments would 

correct typographical errors or make other nonsubstantive changes 

in the original laws. CBO estimates that enacting this legislation 

would have no significant impact on the federal budget and would 

have no effect on revenues or direct spending. 

The bill 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. 

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

REGULATORY IMPACT EVALUATION

In compliance with paragraph 11(b) of rule XXVI of the Standing 

Rules of the Senate, the Committee makes the following evaluation 

of the regulatory impact which would be incurred in carrying out 

this measure. The bill is not a regulatory measure in the sense of 

imposing Government-established standards or significant economic responsibilities on private individuals and businesses. 

No personal information would be collected in administering the 

program. Therefore, there would be no impact on personal privacy. 

Little, if any, additional paperwork would result from the enactment of this measure, as ordered reported.
