COMMITTEE OVERSIGHT FINDINGS
With respect to the requirements of clause 3(c)(1) of rule
XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the
Committee's oversight findings and recommendations are
reflected in this report.
COST OF LEGISLATION
Clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of
Representatives does not apply where a cost estimate and
comparison prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget
Office under section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of
1974 has been timely submitted prior to the filing of the
report and is included in the report. Such a cost estimate is
included in this report.
COMPLIANCE WITH HOUSE RULE XIII
1. With respect to the requirement of clause 3(c)(2) of
rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, and
308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Committee
references the report of the Congressional Budget Office
included below.
2. With respect to the requirement of clause 3(c)(4) of
rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the
Committee advises that the bill contains no measure that
authorizes funding, so no statement of general performance
goals and objectives is required.
3. With respect to the requirement of clause 3(c)(3) of
rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives and
section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the
Committee has received the following cost estimate for H.R.
3147 from the Director of the Congressional Budget Office.
U.S. Congress,
Congressional Budget Office,
Washington, DC, February 26, 2004.
Hon. Don Young,
Chairman, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has
reviewed the following legislation as ordered reported by the
House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on
February 25, 2004:
H.R. 2523, a bill to designate the United
States courthouse located at 125 Bull Street in
Savannah, Georgia, as the ``Tomochichi United States
Courthouse'';
H.R. 2538, a bill to designate the United
States Courthouse located at 400 North Miami Avenue in
Miami, Florida, as the ``Wilkie D. Ferguson, Jr. United
States Courthouse'';
H.R. 3147, a bill to designate the federal
building located at 324 Twenty-Fifth Street in Ogden,
Utah, as the ``James V. Hansen Federal Building''; and
H.R. 3713, a bill to designate the federal
building located at 250 West Cherry Street in
Carbondale, Illinois, the ``Senator Paul Simon Federal
Building.''
CBO estimates that enactment of these bills would have no
significant impact on the federal budget and would not affect
direct spending or revenues. These 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,
Elizabeth Robinson
(For Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Director).
