      [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

  The Committee on Resources, to whom was referred the bill 
(H.R. 2234) to revise the boundary of the Tumacacori National 
Historical Park in the State of Arizona, having considered the 
same, report favorably thereon with an amendment and recommend 
that the bill as amended do pass.
  The amendment is as follows:
  Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the 
following:

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

  This Act may be cited as the ``Tumacacori National Historical Park 
Boundary Revision Act of 2001''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
          (1) Tumacacori Mission in southern Arizona was declared a 
        National Monument in 1908 in recognition of its great 
        historical significance as ``one of the oldest mission ruins in 
        the southwest''.
          (2) In establishing Tumacacori National Historical Park in 
        1990 to include the Tumacacori Mission and the ruins of the 
        mission of Los Santos Angeles de Guevavi and the Kino visita 
        and rancheria of Calabazas, Congress recognized the importance 
        of these sites ``to protect and interpret, for the education 
        and benefit of the public, sites in the State of Arizona 
        associated with the early Spanish missionaries and explorers of 
        the 17th and 18th centuries''.
          (3) Tumacacori National Historical Park plays a major role in 
        interpreting the Spanish colonial heritage of the United 
        States.
  (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
          (1) to protect and interpret the resources associated with 
        the Tumacacori Mission by revising the boundary of Tumacacori 
        National Historical Park to include approximately 310 acres of 
        land adjacent to the park; and
          (2) to enhance the visitor experience at Tumacacori by 
        developing access to these associated mission resources.

SEC. 3. BOUNDARY REVISION, TUMACACORI NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, 
                    ARIZONA.

  Section 1(b) of Public Law 101-344 (16 U.S.C. 410ss(b)) is amended--
          (1) by inserting after the first sentence the following new 
        sentence: ``The park shall also consist of approximately 310 
        acres of land adjacent to the original Tumacacori unit of the 
        park and generally depicted on the map entitled `Tumacacori 
        National Historical Park, Arizona Proposed Boundary Revision 
        2001', numbered 310/80,044, and dated July 2001.''; and
          (2) in the last sentence--
                  (A) by striking ``The map'' and inserting ``The 
                maps''; and
                  (B) by striking ``the offices'' and inserting ``the 
                appropriate offices''.

                          Purpose of the Bill

    The purpose of H.R. 2234 is to revise the boundary of the 
Tumacacori National Historical Park in the State of Arizona, 
and for other purposes.

                  Background and Need for Legislation

    Tumacacori was part of a chain of missions in the Pimeria 
Alta (land of the Upper Pima Indians) established by the 
Spanish from north-central Sonora, Mexico, to San Xavier del 
Bac near present-day Tucson, Arizona. The mission was 
established by Father Kino in 1691 and a Jesuit mission was 
constructed at the site in the 1730's. Franciscans later re-
established a mission after 1767 and a new church was completed 
in 1822. In 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt set aside nine 
acres immediately around the church and declared Tumacacori a 
National Monument. Over time, the boundaries have been changed 
to include other significant missions and in 1990 the Monument 
was declared a National Historical Park.
    The park's general management plan was identified the need 
to acquire additional lands from willing sellers so that park 
support facilities could be built away from the historic scene, 
and to obtain the rest of a mission orchard. The boundary 
expansion would allow the Park Service to replant the orchard 
and add a program with livestock and farming, develop more of 
the Juan bautista de Anza National Historic Trail that now 
exists on private land between Tumacacori and Tubac, and 
partner with communities all along the river to further develop 
the recreational and educational values of the trail.

                            Committee Action

    H.R. 2234 was introduced on June 19, 2001 by Representative 
Ed Pastor (D-AZ) and was referred to the Committee on 
Resources. On June 22, 2001, the bill was referred within the 
Committee to the Subcommittee on National Parks, Recreation and 
Public Lands. On November 13, 2001, the Subcommittee held a 
hearing on the bill. On November 15, 2001, the Subcomittee met 
to mark up the bill. Representative George Radanovich (R-CA) 
offered a technical amendment to ensure the bill referred to 
the appropriate map. It was adopted by unanimous consent. The 
bill, as amended, was then forwarded to the Full Committee by 
unanimous consent. On November 28, 2001, the Full Resources 
Committee met to consider the bill. There were no further 
amendments, and the bill was ordered favorably reported to the 
House of Representatives by unanimous consent.

            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 Resources' oversight findings and recommendations 
are reflected in the body of this report.

                   Constitutional Authority Statement

    Article I, section 8, and Article IV, section 3 of the 
Constitution of the United States grant Congress the authority 
to enact this bill.

                    Compliance With House Rule XIII

    1. Cost of Legislation.--Clause 3(d)(2) of rule XIII of the 
Rules of the House of Representatives requires an estimate and 
a comparison by the Committee of the costs which would be 
incurred in carrying out this bill. However, clause 3(d)(3)(B) 
of that rule provides that this requirement does not apply when 
the Committee has included in its report a timely submitted 
cost estimate of the bill prepared by the Director of the 
Congressional Budget Office under section 402 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
    2. Congressional Budget Act.--As required by clause 3(c)(2) 
of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives and 
section 308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, this 
bill does not contain any new budget authority, spending 
authority, credit authority, or an increase or decrease in 
revenues or tax expenditures.
    3. General Performance Goals and Objectives.--This bill 
does not authorize funding and therefore, clause 3(c)(4) of 
rule XIII of the Rules of the House Representatives does not 
apply.
    4. Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate.--Under clause 
3(c)(3) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives and section 403 of the Congressional Budget Act 
of 1974, the Committee has received the following cost estimate 
for this bill from the Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office.

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                  Washington, DC, December 4, 2001.
Hon. James V. Hansen,
Chairman, Committee on Resources,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 2234, the 
Tumacacori National Historical Park Boundary Revision Act of 
2001.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Deborah Reis.
            Sincerely,
                                          Barry B. Anderson
                                    (For Dan L. Crippen, Director).
    Enclosure.

H.R. 2234--Tumacacori National Historical Park Boundary Revision Act of 
        2001

    H.R. 2234 would expand the boundary of the Tumacacori 
National Historic Park in Arizona. Adjusting the boundary would 
enable the National Park Service (NPS) to acquire about 310 
acres of land adjacent to the existing parks, which currently 
consists of about 46 acres.
    Assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO 
estimates that implementing the bill would cost the federal 
government about $3 million over the next five years and about 
$100,000 annually thereafter. We estimate that the NPS would 
spend between $2 million and $2.5 million of this amount over 
the next year or two to purchase the land that would be added 
to the park by this bill. An estimated $350,000 would be spent 
over the following two or three years to improve a trail system 
and rehabilitate an orchard on the property. We estimate that 
recurring operation and maintenance costs for the park would 
increase by about $100,000 a year assuming appropriation of the 
necessary amounts.
    H.R. 2234 would not affect direct spending; therefore pay-
as-you-go procedures would not apply. The legislation contains 
no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in 
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would have no significant 
impact on the budgets of 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.

                    Compliance With Public Law 104-4

    This bill contains no unfunded mandates.

                Preemption of State, Local or Tribal Law

    This bill is not intended to preempt any State, local or 
tribal law.

the House of Representatives, changes in existing law made by
