On the recordJuly 16, 2002
this amendment would shift $1.8 million from Bureau of Land Management land acquisition for Utah's Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument to the Fish and Wildlife Service construction account. The purpose is to provide the final installment of $1.8 million that is required to start construction and provide for the completion of the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge Education Center in Brigham City, Utah. This center has been previously authorized by the House pursuant to its recent passage of H.R. 3322 which approved the project for a total of $11 million. This $1.8 million provides the last and final installment which allows the project to move forward to completion. According to the Congressional Budget Office, and this is the important part, this amendment is revenue-neutral and does not increase outlays or spending rates. This amendment does not affect projects in any other State.
