  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Speaker, I submit for the benefit of the 
Members a copy of the cost estimate prepared by the Congressional 
Budget Office for H.R. 1749, a bill to designate Wilson Creek in Avery 
and Caldwell Counties, North Carolina, as a component of the National 
Wild and Scenic Rivers System.

                                                    U.S. Congress,


                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                Washington, DC, February 29, 2000.
     Hon. Don Young,
     Chairman, Committee on Resources,
     U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
     prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 1749, a bill to 
     designate Wilson Creek in Avery and Caldwell counties, North 
     Carolina, as a component of the National Wild and Scenic 
     Rivers System.
       If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
     pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Deborah 
     Reis.
           Sincerely,


                                               Dan L. Crippen,

                                                         Director.
       Enclosure.


          Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate--H.R. 1749

       H.R. 1749 would designate a 23-mile segment of Wilson Creek 
     in North Carolina as a component of the Wild and Scenic River 
     System, to be administered by the U.S. Forest Service. Based 
     on information provided by the Forest Service, administering 
     the Wilson Creek segment would have no significant impact on 
     federal spending. The river segment would remain undeveloped.
       Because H.R. 1749 would not affect direct spending or 
     receipts, pay-as-you-go procedures would not apply. 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 is Deborah Reis, who can be reached 
     at 226-2860. This estimate was approved by Peter H. Fontaine, 
     Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
