H. R. 2527 
One Hundred Twelfth Congress 
of the 
United States of America 
AT THE SECOND SESSION 
Begun and held at the City of Washington on Tuesday, 
the third day of January, two thousand and twelve 
An Act 
To require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint coins in recognition and celebration 
of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘National Baseball Hall of Fame 
Commemorative Coin Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds the following: 
(1) On June 12, 1939, the National Baseball Hall of Fame 
and Museum opened in Cooperstown, New York. Ty Cobb, 
Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Babe Ruth, and Honus 
Wagner comprised the inaugural class of inductees. This class 
set the standard for all future inductees. Since 1939, just one 
percent of all Major League Baseball players have earned induc-
tion into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. 
(2) The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is 
dedicated to preserving history, honoring excellence, and con-
necting generations through the rich history of our national 
pastime. Baseball has mirrored our Nation’s history since the 
Civil War, and is now an integral part of our Nation’s heritage. 
(3) The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum chron-
icles the history of our national pastime and houses the world’s 
largest collection of baseball artifacts, including more than 
38,000 three dimensional artifacts, 3,000,000 documents, 
500,000 photographs, and 12,000 hours of recorded media. This 
collection ensures that baseball history and its unique connec-
tion to American history will be preserved and recounted for 
future generations. 
(4) Since its opening in 1939, more than 14,000,000 baseball 
fans have visited the National Baseball Hall of Fame and 
Museum to learn about the history of our national pastime 
and the game’s connection to the American experience. 
(5) The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is 
an educational institution, reaching 10,000,000 Americans 
annually. Utilizing video conference technology, students and 
teachers participate in interactive lessons led by educators from 
the National Baseball Hall of Fame Museum. These award- 
winning educational programs draw upon the wonders of base-
ball to reach students in classrooms nationwide. Each edu-
cational program uses baseball as a lens for teaching young 
Americans important lessons on an array of topics, including
lowing the date of the filing of such application or the
Secretary shall publish a statement in the Federal Reg-
ister of the reason why the Secretary’s decision on the ex-
emption is delayed with an estimate of the additional time
necessary before the decision is made.’’
(b) SECTION 112.—Section 112(c)(1) (49 U.S.C.
App. 1811(c)(1)) is amended by inserting after the second
sentence the following: ‘‘The Secretary shall issue a deci-
sion on an application for a determination within 180 days
of the date of the publication of the notice of having re-
ceived such application or the Secretary shall publish a
statement in the Federal Register of the reason why the
Secretary’s decision on the application is delayed with an
estimate of the additional time necessary before the deci-
sion is made.’’
SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.
Section 115(a) (49 U.S.C. App. 1812(a)) is amended
to read as follows:
‘‘(a) IN GENERAL.—There is authorized to be appro-
priated for carrying out this title (other than sections 117,
117A, 118, and 121) not to exceed $18,000,000 for fiscal
