Congress 118th
Date Requested March 12, 2024
Requested By House Committee on Natural Resources
Date Sent April 3, 2024
Description:
H.R. 4389 would amend the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act and would reauthorize the appropriation of $6.5 million each year through 2028 to promote the conservation of neotropical migratory birds. The bill also would increase the federal cost share for migratory bird conservation assistance. Finally, H.R. 4389 would require the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to report to the Congress on whether the agency has convened an advisory group of people and organizations involved in the conservation of neotropical migratory birds and if so, a description of the members of that group.  In 2024, the Congress provided $5 million for activities under the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act; therefore, the bill would authorize the appropriation of an additional $1.5 million for 2024. Based on historical spending patterns for this program, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 4389 would cost $28 million over the 2024-2029 period, assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts.
