      [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

    The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred 
the bill (H.R. 4358) to amend the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to 
designate segments of the Little Manatee River as a component 
of the Wild and Scenic Rivers System, and for other purposes, 
having considered the same, reports favorably thereon with an 
amendment and recommends 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 ``Little Manatee Wild and Scenic River 
Act''.

SEC. 2. DESIGNATION FOR STUDY OF WILD AND SCENIC RIVER SEGMENTS, LITTLE 
                    MANATEE RIVER, FLORIDA.

  Section 5(a) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1276(a)) is 
amended by adding at the end the following:
          ``(__) Little manatee river, florida.--The approximately 50-
        mile segment beginning at the source in southeastern 
        Hillsborough County, Florida, downstream to the point at which 
        the river enters Tampa Bay, including appropriate tributaries, 
        but shall not include--
                  ``(A) those portions lying within Manatee County, 
                Florida, and being more particularly described as 
                Parcel ID 247800059, Parcel ID 248200008 and Parcel ID 
                248100000; and
                  ``(B) South Fork.''.

SEC. 3. STUDY AND REPORT.

  Section 5(b) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1276(b)) is 
amended by adding at the end the following:
          ``(__) Little manatee river, florida.--Not later than 3 years 
        after the date on which funds are made available to carry out 
        this paragraph, the Secretary of the Interior shall--
                  ``(A) complete the study of the Little Manatee River, 
                Florida named in subsection (a)(_); and
                  ``(B) submit to the Committee on Natural Resources of 
                the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
                Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate a report 
                that describes the results of the study.''.

SEC. 4. EFFECT ON MANAGEMENT.

  This Act and the amendments made by this Act shall not interfere with 
the current management of the area of the Little Manatee River 
described in section 5(a)(_) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, nor 
shall the fact that such area is listed for study under the Wild and 
Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.) be used as justification for 
more restrictive management until Congress acts on the study 
recommendations.

                          Purpose of the Bill

    The purpose of H.R. 4358 is to amend the Wild and Scenic 
Rivers Act to designate segments of the Little Manatee River as 
a component of the Wild and Scenic Rivers System.

                  Background and Need for Legislation

    H.R. 4358 would designate an approximately 51-mile segment 
of the Little Manatee River in Florida as a component of the 
National Wild and Scenic Rivers System (NWSRS). The segment 
would begin at the river source in southeastern Hillsborough 
County downstream to the point where the river enters Tampa 
Bay, not including portions lying within Manatee County and the 
South Fork. The Secretary of the Interior would administer the 
segment as a scenic river.
    The Little Manatee River is one of the most pristine 
blackwater rivers in Florida and has been recognized as an 
``Outstanding Florida Water'' on the state level. Designating 
the Little Manatee River as a component of the NWSRS would 
protect the river from future development and ensure that it 
remains in pristine condition for the benefit and enjoyment of 
future generations. The designation would also ensure that the 
river remains available for a full range of recreational 
activities, such as canoeing, kayaking, boating, and fishing.

                            Committee Action

    H.R. 4358 was introduced on July 6, 2021, by Representative 
Vern Buchanan (R-FL). The bill was referred solely to the 
Committee on Natural Resources, and within the Committee to the 
Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands. On 
November 9, 2021, the Subcommittee held a hearing on the bill. 
On January 19, 2022, the Natural Resources Committee met to 
consider the bill. The Subcommittee was discharged by unanimous 
consent. Chair Raul M. Grijalva (D-AZ) offered an amendment in 
the nature of a substitute. Ranking Member Bruce Westerman (R-
AR) offered an amendment designated Westerman #1 to the 
amendment in the nature of a substitute. The amendment was 
agreed to by unanimous consent. The Grijalva amendment in the 
nature of a substitute, as amended, was agreed to by unanimous 
consent. The bill, as amended, was adopted and favorably 
reported to the House of Representatives by unanimous consent.

                                Hearings

    For the purposes of clause 3(c)(6) of House rule XIII, the 
following hearing was used to develop or consider this measure: 
hearing by the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and 
Public Lands held on November 9, 2021.

            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, March 1, 2022.
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. 4358, the Little 
Manatee Wild and Scenic River 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.

    [GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]
    

    H.R. 4358 would direct the Department of the Interior to 
study a segment of the Little Manatee River in Florida for 
potential addition to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers 
System. Based on the costs of similar studies, CBO estimates 
that implementing H.R. 4358 would cost less than $500,000 over 
the 2022-2026 period; any spending would be subject to the 
availability of appropriated funds.
    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 amend the Wild and Scenic Rivers 
Act to designate segments of the Little Manatee River as a 
component of the Wild and Scenic Rivers System.

                           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

    According to CBO, this bill contains no unfunded mandates 
as defined by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

                           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.
