Purpose of the Bill
The purpose of H.R. 2199 is to designate certain Federal
land in the State of California as wilderness, and for other
purposes.
Background and Need for Legislation
H.R. 2199, as reported, protects approximately 322,000
acres of federal public lands and 159 miles of free-flowing
rivers in Central California, primarily in the Carrizo Plain
National Monument (CPNM) and the Los Padres National Forest
(LPNF). These protections are achieved with the designation of
approximately 244,000 acres as new or expanded wilderness
areas, 43,400 acres as potential wilderness, and 34,800 acres
as scenic areas. The river miles are protected through a
combination of wild, scenic, and recreational designations as
components of the National Wild and Scenic River System
(NWSRS).
California's Central Coast is home to some of North
America's most diverse habitats and ecosystems. The LPNF,
California's second largest national forest, provides habitats
for more than 460 species of wildlife,\1\ and the CPNM supports
an incredible diversity of wildlife, including several
threatened and endangered species. In addition, due to
extensive development throughout the Central Coast, the CPNM
holds some of the few remaining grassland and alkali wetland
ecosystems in the region--supporting many rare plant and animal
species critical for the ``long-term conservation of the
dwindling flora and fauna characteristic of the San Joaquin
Valley region.''\2\ These public lands also provide invaluable
resources for local communities, including watershed
protection, clean drinking water, unparalleled opportunities
for outdoor recreation, and significant Native American
cultural sites.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, the resources protected in the LPNF and CPNM
are currently under threat by the Trump administration, which
seeks to open this area to oil and gas development. In 2018,
the Bureau of Land Management approved a new oil well and
pipeline inside the CPNM and recently announced its plans to
offer new oil and gas leases on 1.6 million acres in the
area.\3\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In contrast to the administration's preference for
pollution-intensive development, H.R. 2199 supports
California's growing recreation and tourism economy by
protecting critical habitats as well as existing and future
outdoor recreation opportunities.\4\ In California, outdoor
recreation is estimated to contribute $92 billion in annual
consumer spending, 691,000 direct jobs, $30.4 billion in wages
and salaries, and $6.2 billion in state and local tax revenue
each year.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\A table outlining the outstanding remarkable values for river
segments designated as wild and scenic by H.R. 2199 is included at the
end of this section.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
H.R. 2199 is the product of years of discussion and
collaboration with business leaders, conservationists, elected
officials, ranchers, mountain bikers, and other stakeholders
with a shared interest in providing long-term protections for
these iconic lands in California's Central Coast. The bill also
responds to United States Forest Service (USFS) recommendations
made in the 2005 Los Padres Forest Plan, adding to the Dick
Smith, San Rafael, and Matilija Wilderness areas and to the
Sespe Creek and Piru Creek NWSRS components.
The bill also requires a study regarding, and subsequent
designation of, the approximately 400-mile long Condor Trail as
a National Scenic Trail, connecting the northern and southern
portions of the LPNF by a single hiking route. These
designations safeguard clean water for California communities,
promote public lands recreation, bolster local economies, and
preserve critical wildlife habitats.
H.R. 2199 enjoys broad support from nearly 500 Central
Coast landowners, businesses, elected officials, farmers,
ranchers, civic leaders, wineries, recreationalists, and
outfitters. The bill also includes a provision that guarantees
tribal access to wilderness areas for cultural and religious
purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\The river segments listed here (and in Section 6 of the bill as
reported) add up to approximately 231 miles. Common practice when
Congress designates new river segments is for the new designations to
include existing areas on the same river segments, which is called
redesignation. A redesignation can recategorize an existing designation
(e.g., redesignating an existing scenic river as a wild river), or it
can simply restate the existing designation while expanding the covered
river segment. Of the approximately 231 miles of river segments
included in H.R. 2199, approximately 72 miles are redesignations that
are already components of the NWSRS.

Hearings
For the purposes of section 103(i) of H. Res. 6 of the
116th Congress--the following hearing was used to develop or
consider H.R. 2199: legislative hearing by the Subcommittee on
National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands held on July 10,
2019.
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 Natural Resources' oversight findings and
recommendations are reflected in the body of this report.
Compliance With House Rule XIII and Congressional Budget Act
1. Cost of Legislation and the Congressional Budget Act.
With respect to the requirements of clause 3(c)(2) and (3) of
rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives and
sections 308(a) and 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of
1974, the Committee has received the following estimate for the
bill from the Director of the Congressional Budget Office:
U.S. Congress,
Congressional Budget Office,
Washington, DC, February 4, 2020.
Hon. Raul M. Grijalva,
Chairman, Committee on Natural Resources,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 2199, the Central
Coast Heritage Protection Act.
If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Janani
Shankaran.
Sincerely,
Phillip L. Swagel,
Director.
Enclosure.
H.R. 2199 would designate roughly 320,000 acres of federal
land in and near the Los Padres National Forest in California
for wilderness and scenic purposes and would add 160 miles of
river segments to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
The bill would generally withdraw those areas from entry under
hardrock mining laws and mineral and geothermal leasing,
subject to valid existing rights. That is, the bill would not
allow new hardrock mining claims or mineral and geothermal
leases on that land.
For this estimate, CBO assumes that the legislation will be
enacted in fiscal year 2020. Under that assumption, the federal
government could incur some costs in 2020, but CBO expects that
most of the costs would be incurred in 2021 and later.
Using information from the Forest Service, CBO estimates
that the agency would incur upfront costs of about $3 million
to implement the wilderness, scenic area, and wild and scenic
river designations. That amount includes costs to develop and
update management plans and conduct boundary surveys. H.R. 2199
also would establish a new trail and would authorize the Forest
Service to reroute a few existing trails to accommodate the new
wilderness areas. Using information from the agency, CBO
estimates that those costs would total $2 million over the
2020-2025 period. Finally, we estimate that the Forest Service
would spend less than $500,000 annually for additional rangers.
In total, implementing H.R. 2199 would cost $7 million over the
2020-2025 period; such spending would be subject to the
availability of appropriated funds.
Income from mineral leasing is classified in the budget as
offsetting receipts, or reductions in direct spending. Under
H.R. 2199, the federal government would forgo receipts because
land would be withdrawn from mineral leasing. However, CBO
estimates that any increases in direct spending would be
insignificant over the 2020-2030 period.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Janani
Shankaran. The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss,
Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
2. General Performance Goals and Objectives. As required by
clause 3(c)(4) of Rule XIII, the general performance goals and
objectives of this bill are to designate certain Federal land
in the State of California as wilderness.
Earmark Statement
This bill does not contain any Congressional earmarks,
limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits as defined
under clause 9(e), 9(f), and 9(g) of rule XXI of the Rules of
the House of Representatives.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act Statement
This bill contains no unfunded mandates.
Existing Programs
This bill does not establish or reauthorize a program of
the federal government known to be duplicative of another
program.
Applicability to Legislative Branch
The Committee finds that the legislation does not relate to
the terms and conditions of employment or access to public
services or accommodations within the meaning of section
102(b)(3) of the Congressional Accountability Act.
Preemption of State, Local, or Tribal Law
Any preemptive effect of this bill over state, local, or
tribal law is intended to be consistent with the bill's
purposes and text and the Supremacy Clause of Article VI of the
U.S. Constitution.
Changes in Existing Law Made by the Bill, as Reported
In compliance with clause 3(e) of rule XIII of the Rules of
the House of Representatives, changes in existing law made by
the bill, as reported, are shown as follows (existing law

enactment of their addition to this subsection, or from the
date of enactment of this sentence, whichever is later. Such
studies, when submitted, shall be printed as a House or Senate
document, and shall include, but not be limited to:
(1) the proposed route of such trail (including maps
and illustrations);
(2) the areas adjacent to such trails, to be utilized
for scenic, historic, natural, cultural, or
developmental purposes;
(3) the characteristics which, in the judgment of the
appropriate Secretary, make the proposed trail worthy
of designation as a national scenic or national
historic trail; and in the case of national historic
trails the report shall include the recommendation of
the Secretary of the Interior's National Park System
Advisory Board as to the national historic significance
based on the criteria developed under the Historic
Sites Act of 1935 (49 Stat. 666; 16 U.S.C. 461);
(4) the current status of land ownership and current
and potential use along the designated route;
(5) the estimated cost of acquisition of lands or
interest in lands, if any;
(6) the plans for developing and maintaining the
trail and the cost thereof;
(7) the proposed Federal administering agency (which,
in the case of a national scenic or national historic
trail wholly or substantially within a national forest,
shall be the Department of Agriculture);
(8) the extent to which a State or its political
subdivisions and public and private organizations might
reasonably be expected to participate in acquiring the
necessary lands and in the administration thereof;
(9) the relative uses of the lands involved,
including: the number of anticipated visitor-days for
the entire length of, as well as for segments of, such
trail; the number of months which such trail, or
segments thereof, will be open for recreation purposes;
the economic and social benefits which might accrue
from alternate land uses; and the estimated man-years
of civilian employment and expenditures expected for
the purposes of maintenance, supervision, and
regulation of such trail;
(10) the anticipated impact of public outdoor
recreation use on the preservation of a proposed
national historic trail and its related historic and
archeological features and settings, including the
measures proposed to ensure evaluation and preservation
of the values that contribute to their national
historic significance; and
(11) to qualify for designation as a national
historic trail, a trail must meet all three of the
following criteria:
(A) It must be a trail or route established
by historic use and must be historically
significant as a result of that use. The route
need not currently exist as a discernible trail
to qualify, but its location must be
sufficiently known to permit evaluation of
public recreation and historical interest
potential. A designated trail should generally
accurately follow the historic route, but may
deviate somewhat on occasion of necessity to
avoid difficult routing through subsequent
development, or to provide some route variation
offering a more pleasurable recreational
experience. Such deviations shall be so noted
on site. Trail segments no longer possible to
travel by trail due to subsequent development
as motorized transportation routes may be
designated and marked onsite as segments which
link to the historic trail.
(B) It must be of national signficance with
respect to any of several broad facets of
American history, such as trade and commerce,
exploration, migration and settlement, or
military campaigns. To qualify as nationally
significant, historic use of the trail must
have had a far-reaching effect on broad
patterns of American culture. Trails
significant in the history of native Americans
may be included.
(C) It must have significant potential for
public recreational use or historical interest
based on historic interpretation and
appreciation. The potential for such use is
generally greater along roadless segments
developed as historic trails, and at historic
sites associated with the trail. The presence
of recreation potential not related to historic
appreciation is not sufficient justification
for designation under this category.
