MT. ANDREA LAWRENCE DESIGNATION ACT OF 2011 

MAY 30, 2012.—Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of 

the Union 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. 1818] 

[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office] 

The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred the 

bill (H.R. 1818) to designate Mt. Andrea Lawrence, 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. 1818 is to designate Mt. Andrea Lawrence. 

BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION

H.R. 1818 would designate a currently unnamed mountain, located 0.6 miles northeast of Donahue Peak on the northern border 

of the Ansel Adams Wilderness and Yosemite National Park in 

California, as Mt. Andrea Lawrence. Andrea Lawrence was a successful Olympic skier, 16-year member of the Mono County Board 

of Supervisors, and founder of the Andrea Lawrence Institute for 

Mountains and Rivers. She was a supporter of the work of the Inyo 

National Forest and Yosemite National Park. Ms. Lawrence passed 

away in 2009 at the age of 76. The management of the proposed 

Mt. Andrea Lawrence is shared between the Inyo National Forest 

and Yosemite National Park. 

COMMITTEE ACTION

H.R. 1818 was introduced on May 10, 2011, by Congressman 

Howard ‘‘Buck’’ McKeon (R–CA). The bill was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources, and within the Committee to the 

Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands. On

April 25, 2012, the Full Natural Resources Committee met to consider the bill. The Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and 

Public Lands was discharged by unanimous consent. No amendments were offered to the bill, and the bill was 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: 

U.S. CONGRESS, 

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE, 

Washington, DC, April 30, 2012. 

Hon. DOC HASTINGS, Chairman, Committee on Natural Resources, 

House of Representatives, Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: The Congressional Budget Office has reviewed H.R. 1818, the Mt. Andrea Lawrence Designation Act of 

2011, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on April 25, 2012. 

CBO estimates that enacting this legislation to name a peak in 

Mono County, California, would have no significant impact on the 

federal budget and would not affect direct spending or revenues; 

therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. H.R. 1818 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. 

If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be pleased 

to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Jeff LaFave. 

Sincerely, 

DOUGLAS W. ELMENDORF. 

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. CBO estimates that enacting this legislation

would have no significant impact on the federal budget and would 

not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. 

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 designate Mt. Andrea Lawrence. 

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. 

PREEMPTION OF STATE, LOCAL OR TRIBAL LAW

This bill is not intended to preempt any State, local or tribal law. 

CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW

If enacted, this bill would make no changes in existing law.
