113TH CONGRESS REPORT " ! HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 1st Session 113–141 

AMENDING THE DAYTON AVIATION HERITAGE PRESERVATION ACT OF 1992 TO RENAME A SITE OF THE PARK 

JULY 8, 2013.—Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed 

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 


rfrederick on DSK6VPTVN1PROD with HEARING
3 

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.
