                               RESOLUTION


 
Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 999) to amend the Federal 
     Water Pollution Control Act to improve the quality of coastal 
               recreation waters, and for other purposes.

    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution 
the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the 
House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R. 999) to amend the Federal 
Water Pollution Control Act to improve the quality of coastal 
recreation waters, and for other purposes. The first reading of the 
bill shall be dispensed with. General debate shall be confined to the 
bill and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by 
the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure. After general debate the bill shall 
be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. It shall be in 
order to consider as an original bill for the purpose of amendment 
under the five-minute rule the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
recommended by the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure now 
printed in the bill. Each section of the committee amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. Before 
consideration of any other amendment it shall be in order to consider 
the amendment printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution, if offered by Representative Shuster or 
his designee. That amendment shall be considered as read, may amend 
portions of the bill not yet read for amendment, shall be debatable for 
10 minutes equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an 
opponent, shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject 
to a demand for division of the question in the House or in the 
Committee of the Whole. After disposition of that amendment, the 
provisions of the bill as then perfected shall be considered as 
original text for the purpose of further amendment under the five-
minute rule. During further consideration of the bill for amendment, 
the chairman of the Committee of the Whole may accord priority in 
recognition on the basis of whether the Member offering an amendment 
has caused it to be printed in the portion of the Congressional Record 
designated for that purpose in clause 8 of rule XVIII. Amendments so 
printed shall be considered as read. The chairman of the Committee of 
the Whole may: (1) postpone until a time during further consideration 
in the Committee of the Whole a request for a recorded vote on any 
amendment; and (2) reduce to five minutes the minimum time for 
electronic voting on any postponed question that follows another 
electronic vote without intervening business, provided that the minimum 
time for electronic voting on the first in any series of questions 
shall be 15 minutes. At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for 
amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House 
with such amendments as may have been adopted. Any Member may demand a 
separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted in the Committee of 
the Whole to the bill or to the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
made in order as original text. The previous question shall be 
considered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to final 
passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with 
or without instructions.
