After completion of his service, Mr. Evans attended the

school, Mr. Evans went into private practice in Pueblo,
Colorado, and was elected to the Colorado State House of
Representatives in 1960. In 1964, Representative Evans was
elected to U.S. House of Representatives, where he served
Colorado's 3rd Congressional District for seven terms until his
retirement in 1978. Representative Evans is credited with
bringing the Government Printing Office Distribution Center to

U.S. Congress,
Congressional Budget Office,
Washington, DC, August 3, 2010.
Hon. James L. Oberstar,
Chairman, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has
reviewed the following legislation ordered reported by the
House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on July
29, 2010:
H.R. 4387, a bill to designate the federal
building located at 100 North Palafox Street in
Pensacola, Florida, as the ``Winston E. Arnow Federal
Building'';
H.R. 5651, a bill to designate the federal
building and United States courthouse located at 515
9th Street in Rapid City, South Dakota, as the ``Andrew
W. Bogue Federal Building and United States
Courthouse'';
H.R. 5706, a bill to designate the building
occupied by the Government Printing Office located at
31451 East United Avenue in Pueblo, Colorado, as the
``Frank Evans Government Printing Office Building'';
H.R. 5773, a bill to redesignate the federal
building located at 6401 Security Boulevard in
Baltimore, Maryland, commonly known as the Social
Security Operations Building, as the ``Robert M. Ball
Federal Building''; and
H.R. 5591, a bill to designate the airport
traffic control tower located at Spokane International
Airport in Spokane, Washington, as the ``Ray Daves
Airport Traffic Control Tower.''
CBO estimates that enacting those pieces of legislation
would have no significant impact on the federal budget and
would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-
as-you-go procedures would not apply. The bills contain no
intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on
state, local, or tribal governments.
If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Matthew
Pickford.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Sunshine
(For Douglas W. Elmendorf, Director).
COMPLIANCE WITH HOUSE RULE XXI
Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House
of Representatives, the Committee is required to include a list
of congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited
tariff benefits, as defined in clause 9(e), 9(f), and 9(g) of
rule XXI of the Rules of the House of Representatives. H.R.
5706, as amended, does not contain any earmarks, limited tax
benefits, or limited tariff benefits under clause 9(e), 9(f),
or 9(g) of rule XXI.
CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY STATEMENT
Pursuant to clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the
House of Representatives, committee reports on a bill or joint
resolution of a public character shall include a statement
citing the specific powers granted to the Congress in the
Constitution to enact the measure. The Committee on
Transportation and Infrastructure finds that Congress has the

under article I, section 8 of the Constitution.

The Committee adopts as its own the estimate of Federal
mandates prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget
Office pursuant to section 423 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform
Act (P.L. 104-4).

Section 423 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974
requires the report of any Committee on a bill or joint
resolution to include a statement on the extent to which the
