 Mr. Hastings of Washington, from the Committee on Natural Resources, 
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                        [To accompany H.R. 4751]

      [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

    The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred 
the bill (H.R. 4751) to make technical corrections to Public 
Law 110-229 to reflect the renaming of the Bainbridge Island 
Japanese American Exclusion Memorial, and for other purposes, 
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. 4751 is to make technical corrections 
to Public Law 110-229 to reflect the renaming of the Bainbridge 
Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial.

                  Background and Need for Legislation

    H.R. 4751 updates Section 313 of Public Law 110-229 that 
included the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Memorial 
within the boundary of Minidoka National Historic Site. This 
eight-acre memorial was built on land owned jointly by the City 
of Bainbridge Island and the Bainbridge Island Park and 
Recreation District and is administered by the National Park 
Service in partnership with municipal and non-profit entities. 
The City Council and the Park and Recreation District recently 
renamed the memorial, adding the word ``Exclusion'' to its 
title. H.R. 4751 ensures consistency between the official name 
of the memorial and the memorial that the National Park Service 
is authorized to administer under Public Law 110-229.

                            Committee Action

    H.R. 4751 was introduced on May 28, 2014, by Congressman 
Derek Kilmer (D-WA). The bill was referred to the Committee on 
Natural Resources, and within the Committee to the Subcommittee 
on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation. On July 9, 2014, 
the Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation 
held a hearing on the bill. On July 16, 2014, the Natural 
Resources Committee met to consider the bill. The Subcommittee 
on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation was discharged by 
unanimous consent. 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. 4751--A bill to make technical corrections to Public Law 110-229 
        to reflect the renaming of the Bainbridge Island Japanese 
        American Exclusion Memorial, and for other purposes

    H.R. 4751 would change the name of the Brainbridge Island 
Japanese American Memorial in the state of Washington to the 
Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial. Based 
on information provided by the Department of the Interior, CBO 
estimates that implementing the bill would have no significant 
effect on the federal budget. Enacting H.R. 4751 would not 
affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go 
procedures do not apply.
    H.R. 4751 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. According to CBO, 
the bill would have no significant effect 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 make technical corrections to 
Public Law 110-229 to reflect the renaming of the Bainbridge 
Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial.

                           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
