RENAME A SITE OF THE PARK
_______

_______
Mr. Hastings of Washington, from the Committee on Natural Resources,
submitted the following
R E P O R T
[To accompany H.R. 1574]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred
the bill (H.R. 1574) to amend the Dayton Aviation Heritage
Preservation Act of 1992 to rename a site of the park, having
considered the same, report favorably thereon without amendment
and recommend that the bill do pass.
Purpose of the Bill
The purpose of H.R. 1574 is to amend the Dayton Aviation
Heritage Preservation Act of 1992 to rename a site of the park.
Background and Need for Legislation
The John W. Berry Sr. Wright Brothers Aviation Center is
located within the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical
Park in Dayton, Ohio. Within the Aviation Center are located
exhibits related to the development of aviation including an
original 1905 Wright Flyer III, the world's first practical
airplane and a National Historic Landmark.
H.R. 1574 would change the name of the Aviation Center to
the John W. Berry Sr. Wright Brothers National Museum. The name
change from ``Aviation Center'' to ``National Museum'' may more
accurately portray the national significance of the artifacts
and stories within the facility and raise its public profile.
Committee Action
H.R. 1574 was introduced on April 15, 2013, by Congressman
Michael Turner (R-OH). The bill was referred to the Committee
on Natural Resources, and within the Committee to the
Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation. On
April 26, 2013, the Subcommittee held a hearing on the bill. On
May 15, 2013, the Full Natural Resources Committee met to
consider the bill. The Subcommittee on Public Lands and
Environmental Regulation was discharged by unanimous consent.
No amendments were offered, and the bill was then adopted and
ordered favorably reported to the House of Representatives by
unanimous consent.
Committee Oversight Findings and Recommendations
Regarding clause 2(b)(1) of rule X and clause 3(c)(1) of
rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the
Committee on Natural Resources' oversight findings and
recommendations are reflected in the body of this report.
Compliance With House Rule XIII
1. Cost of Legislation. Clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII of the
Rules of the House of Representatives requires an estimate and
a comparison by the Committee of the costs which would be
incurred in carrying out this bill. However, clause 3(d)(2)(B)
of that rule provides that this requirement does not apply when
the Committee has included in its report a timely submitted
cost estimate of the bill prepared by the Director of the
Congressional Budget Office under section 402 of the
Congressional Budget Act of 1974. Under clause 3(c)(3) of rule
XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives and section
403 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Committee has
received the following cost estimate for this bill from the
Director of the Congressional Budget Office:
H.R. 1574--A bill to amend the Dayton Aviation Heritage Preservation
Act of 1992 to rename a site of the park
H.R. 1574 would change the name of the John W. Berry Sr.
Wright Brothers Aviation Center in Dayton, Ohio, to the John W.
Berry Sr. Wright Brothers National Museum. Based on information
provided by the National Park Service, CB0 estimates that
implementing the legislation would have no significant impact
on the federal budget. CBO expects that the costs associated
with replacing or revising signs and interpretive materials to
reflect the new name would be done in conjunction with
scheduled replacement and other routine maintenance. Enacting
H.R. 1574 would not affect direct spending or revenues;
therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 1574 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and
would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Martin von
Gnechten. The estimate was approved by Theresa Gullo, Deputy
Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
2. Section 308(a) of Congressional Budget Act. As required
by clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of
Representatives and section 308(a) of the Congressional Budget
Act of 1974, this bill does not contain any new budget
authority, spending authority, credit authority, or an increase
or decrease in revenues or tax expenditures. Based on
information provided by the National Park Service, CBO
estimates that implementing the legislation would have no
significant impact on the federal budget.
3. General Performance Goals and Objectives. As required by
clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII, the general performance goal or
objective of this bill is to amend the Dayton Aviation Heritage
Preservation Act of 1992 to rename a site of the park.
Earmark Statement
This bill does not contain any Congressional earmarks,
limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits as defined
under clause 9(e), 9(f), and 9(g) of rule XXI of the Rules of
the House of Representatives.
Compliance With Public Law 104-4
This bill contains no unfunded mandates.
Compliance With H. Res. 5
Directed Rule Making. The Chairman does not believe that
this bill directs any executive branch official to conduct any
specific rule-making proceedings.
Duplication of Existing Programs. This bill does not
establish or reauthorize a program of the federal government
known to be duplicative of another program. Such program was
not included in any report from the Government Accountability
Office to Congress pursuant to section 21 of Public Law 111-139
or identified in the most recent Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance published pursuant to the Federal Program
Information Act (Public Law 95-220, as amended by Public Law
98-169) as relating to other programs.
Preemption of State, Local or Tribal Law
This bill is not intended to preempt any State, local or
tribal law.

the House of Representatives, changes in existing law made by
