SECTION 1. CHIEF STANDING BEAR NATIONAL HISTORIC TRAIL FEASIBILITY 
                    STUDY.

        from Niobrara, Nebraska, to Ponca City, Oklahoma, which follows 
        the route taken by Chief Standing Bear and the Ponca people 
        during Federal Indian removal, and approximately 550 miles from 
        Ponca City, Oklahoma, through Omaha, Nebraska, to Niobrara, 
        Nebraska, which follows the return route taken by Chief 
        Standing Bear and the Ponca people.''.

                          Purpose of the Bill

    The purpose of H.R. 2490 is to amend the National Trails 
System Act to direct the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a 
study on the feasibility of designating the Chief Standing Bear 
National Historic Trail, and for other purposes.

                  Background and Need for Legislation

    Chief Standing Bear of the Ponca Tribe was born on the 
banks of the Niobrara River in what today is Nebraska sometime 
around 1829-1834. In 1877, by federal action, Chief Standing 
Bear and the Ponca were forced to leave their homeland in 
Nebraska and relocate to Indian Territory. Chief Standing Bear 
and the Ponca walked over 500 miles from Nebraska to Oklahoma, 
facing harsh winter conditions and illness. Many members of the 
Ponca Tribe perished during the tribe's first year in Indian 
Territory, including Chief Standing Bear's son, Bear Shield. 
Chief Standing Bear, determined to bury his son in their 
homeland, led 30 members of his tribe back to their home in 
Nebraska, where he was arrested. Chief Standing Bear petitioned 
for a writ of habeas corpus, and the government sought to 
dismiss the petition on the theory that Native Americans are 
not persons or citizens with a right to sue. As a result, Chief 
Standing Bear became the first Native American to be recognized 
as a person in a federal court decision in 1879.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\U.S. ex rel. Standing Bear v. Crook, 25 F. Cas. 695 (C.C.D. Neb. 
1879) (No. 14,891).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    To commemorate and elevate the story of Chief Standing Bear 
and the Ponca Tribe's forced relocation to Oklahoma, H.R. 2490 
requires the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study on 
the feasibility of designating the Chief Standing Bear National 
Historic Trail. The Trail would be circular and extend 
approximately 550 miles from Niobrara, Nebraska, to Ponca City, 
Oklahoma, following the route taken by Chief Standing Bear and 
the Ponca during Federal Indian Removal. The trail also charts 
the Chief's return to Nebraska, commemorating the Chief's 
return to the state as well as the historic 1879 decision.

                            Committee Action

    H.R. 2490 was introduced on May 2, 2019, by Representative 
Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE). The bill was referred solely to the

    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 2490, a bill to 
amend the National Trails System Act to direct the Secretary of 
the Interior to conduct a study on the feasibility of 
designating the Chief Standing Bear National Historic Trail, 
and for other purposes.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is David Hughes.
            Sincerely,
                                         Phillip L. Swagel,

    Enclosure.

              [GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]
    

    H.R. 2490 would require the National Park Service (NPS) to 
examine the feasibility of designating the Chief Standing Bear 
Trail in the states of Nebraska and Oklahoma as a national 
historic trail. Using information from the NPS, CBO estimates 
that enacting H.R. 2490 would cost less than $500,000 over the 
2019-2024 period. Such spending would be subject to the 
availability of appropriated funds.
    The CBO staff contact for this estimate is David Hughes. 
The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy 
Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.

  (b) The Secretary of the Interior, through the agency most 
likely to administer such trail, and the Secretary of 
Agriculture where lands administered by him are involved, shall 
make such additional studies as are herein or may hereafter be 
authorized by the Congress for the purpose of determining the 
feasibility and desirability of designating other trails as 
national scenic or national historic trails. Such studies shall 
be made in consultation with the heads of other Federal 
agencies administering lands through which such additional 
proposed trails would pass and in cooperation with interested 
interstate, State, and local governmental agencies, public and 
private organizations, and landowners and land users concerned. 
The feasibility of designating a trail shall be determined on 
the basis of an evaluation of whether or not it is physically 
possible to develop a trail along a route being studied, and 
whether the development of a trail would be financially 
feasible. The studies listed in subsection (c) of this section 
shall be completed and submitted to the Congress, with 
recommendations as to the suitability of trail designation, not 
later than three complete fiscal years from the date of 
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.
