To redesignate the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center in Casper, Wyoming, as the "Barbara L. Cubin National Historic Trails Interpretive Center".
Summary
What This Bill Does
The bill designates the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center in Casper, Wyoming, as the Barbara L. Cubin National Historic Trails Interpretive Center. It treats existing federal references to the center in laws, maps, regulations, documents, and other records as references to the renamed facility. A conforming amendment changes the name in the center's 1998 authorizing law. This is a commemorative naming measure: it does not establish a new center, authorize a grant, change ownership, or alter visitor access or the institution's interpretive mission.
Who Benefits and How
Barbara L. Cubin receives recognition through the federal facility's official name. Casper residents and center visitors gain a consistent legal identity for the existing institution, while federal record users benefit from the rule that older references remain valid under the new designation. The measure supplies recognition rather than a direct monetary payment.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Bureau of Land Management center administrators and federal records staff must use the new designation in administration and future records. Updating signs, maps, publications, or visitor information can impose modest administrative costs; the bill provides no separate appropriation or quantified implementation budget.
Key Provisions
- Designates the Casper center with Barbara L. Cubin's name.
- Requires federal references to the former name to be read as references to the renamed center.
- Amends the center's authorizing statute to use its new designation.
