  Mr. Murkowski, from the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, 
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                         [To accompany S. 357]

    The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was 
referred the bill (S. 357) to amend the National Parks and 
Recreation Act of 1978 to establish the Friends of Kaloko-
Honokohau, and advisory commission for the Kaloko-Honokohau 
National Historical Park, and for other purposes, having 
considered the same, reports favorably thereon without 
amendment and recommends that the bill do pass.

                        Purposes of the Measure

    The purpose of S. 357, as ordered reported, is to amend the 
National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978 to re-establish the 
Friends of Kaloko-Honokohau, an advisory commission for the 
Kalolo-Honokohau National Historical Park in Hawaii.

                          Background and Need

    Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park was established 
in 1978, as part of the National Parks and Recreation Act. The 
enabling legislation also established the Na Hoa Pili Kaloko-
Honokohau, ``the Friends of Kaloko-Honokohau,'' an advisory 
committee to advise the Park Service on the establishment and 
management of the park.
    The enabling legislation provided that the advisory 
committee would terminate 10 years after the date of enactment. 
However, the legislation also provided that the park would not 
be formally established until a suitable land base had been 
acquired, which occurred in 1990. Because of the delay between 
the passage of the park's enabling legislation and the 
establishment of the park, the authority for the advisory 
commission expired before the park was established.
    Now that the park has been formally established, S. 357 
would reestablish the advisory committee to allow it assist the 
Park Service in the preservation and interpretation of 
traditional Native Hawaiian culture and activities, two of the 
objectives for which the park was established.

                          Legislative History

    S. 357 was introduced by Senator Akaka on February 6, 1995, 
A similar measure is included in H.R. 694, which was passed by 
the House of Representatives on March 14, 1995.
    in the 103d Congress, Senators Akaka and Inouye introduced 
S. 742 on April 2, 1993. The Subcommittee on Public Lands, 
National Parks and Forests held a hearing on that measure on 
June 17, 1993, and the Committee reported the bill on June 30, 
1993. S. 742 passed the Senate on July 21, 1993. Similar 
provisions were included in a House-passed bill, H.R. 3252, a 
comprehensive bill on parks, rivers, trails, and historic 
sites. The Committee reported H.R. 3252, although no further 
action was taken in the Senate.
    At the business meeting on March 29, 1995, the Committee on 
Energy and Natural Resources ordered S. 357 favorably reported, 
without amendment.

                      Section-by-Section Analysis

    Section 1 entitles the bill the ``Na Hoa Pili Kaloko-
Honokohau Re-establishment Act of 1995.''.
    Section 2(a) re-establishes the advisory commission for the 
Kaloho-Honokohau National Historical Park in Hawaii, in

enabling legislation, Public Law 95-625.
    Subsection (b) amends section 505(f)(7) of the park's 
enabling legislation to set a new termination date for the 
commission, 10 years after the date of enactment of this Act.

                   Cost and Budgetary Considerations

    The following estimate of costs of this measure has been 
provided by the Congressional Budget Office:
                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                     Washington, DC, April 3, 1995.
Hon. Frank H. Murkowski,
Chairman, Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Senate, 
        Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
reviewed S. 357, the Na Hoa Pili Kaloko-Honokohau Re-
establishment Act of 1995, as ordered reported by the Senate 
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on March 29, 1995.
    Enactment of this bill cost the Federal Government less 
than $10,000 annually, assuming appropriation of the necessary 
sums. The bill would not affect direct spending or receipts; 
therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures would not apply.
    S. 357 would reauthorize the nine-member Advisory 
Commission for Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park, which 
expired in 1988. Assuming appropriation of the necessary sums, 
CBO estimates that commission expenses would be less than 
$10,000 annually once the nine members have been appointed.
    Enactment of this legislation would have no impact on the 
budgets of State or local governments.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Deborah Reis.
            Sincerely,
                                              James L. Blum
                                   (For June E. O'Neill, Director).

                      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 S. 357. 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 S. 357 as ordered reported.

                        Executive Communications

    On March 24, 1995, the Committee on Energy and Natural 
Resources has requested legislative reports from the Department 
of the Interior and the Office of Management and Budget setting 
forth Executive agency recommendations on S. 357. These reports 
had not been received at the time the report on S. 357 was 
filed. When these reports become available, the chairman will 
request that they be printed in the Congressional Record for 
the advice of the Senate.

                        Changes in Existing Law

    In compliance with paragraph 12 of rule XXVI of the 
Standing Rules of the Senate, changes in existing law made by
