Cost and Budgetary Considerations
The following estimate of the cost of this measure has been
provided by the Congressional Budget Office:
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.

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.
Executive Communications
The testimony provided by the Department of the Interior at
the Subcommittee hearing follows:
Statement of Sue Masica, Associate Director, Park Planning, Facilities,
and Lands, National Park Service, Department of the Interior
Ms. Masica. Thank you very much.
Senator Thomas. Appreciate it very much.
Before you begin your statement, I believe you have a list

Ms. Masica. Yes, Mr. Chairman.
Senator Thomas. Thank you. Then we'll enter them in the
record for this hearing.
