    Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to 
consider in the House the bill (H.R. 1613) to amend the Outer Continental Shelf 
Lands Act to provide for the proper Federal management and oversight of 
transboundary hydrocarbon reservoirs, and for other purposes. All points of 
order against consideration of the bill are waived. The amendment in the nature 
of a substitute recommended by the Committee on Natural Resources now printed in 
the bill shall be considered as adopted. The bill, as amended, shall be 
considered as read. All points of order against provisions in the bill, as 
amended, are waived. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the 
bill, as amended, and on any further amendment thereto, to final passage without 
intervening motion except: (1) one hour of debate equally divided and controlled 
by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Natural Resources; 
(2) the further amendment printed in part A of the report of the Committee on 
Rules accompanying this resolution, if offered by Representative Grayson of 
Florida or his designee, which shall be in order without intervention of any

10 minutes equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and 
shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question; and (3) one 
motion to recommit with or without instructions.
    Sec. 2.  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

energy exploration and production on the Outer Continental Shelf, provide for 
equitable revenue sharing for all coastal States, implement the reorganization 
of the functions of the former Minerals Management Service into distinct and

waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed one 
hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on Natural Resources. After general debate the bill shall be 
considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu of the amendment in 
the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on Natural Resources now 
printed in the bill, it shall be in order to consider as an original bill for 
the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule an amendment in the nature 
of a substitute consisting of the text of Rules Committee Print 113-16. That 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. All points 
of order against that amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. No 
amendment to that amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in order 
except those printed in part B of the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution. Each such amendment may be offered only in the 
order printed in the report, may be offered only by a Member designated in the 
report, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for the time specified 
in the report 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. All 
points of order against such amendments are waived. 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.
    Sec. 3.  At any time after the adoption of this resolution the Speaker may,

bill (H.R. 2410) making appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, Food 
and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies programs for the fiscal year 
ending September 30, 2014, and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill 
shall be dispensed with. All points of order against consideration of the bill 
are waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed 
one hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member 
of the Committee on Appropriations. After general debate the bill shall be 
considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. Points of order against 
provisions in the bill for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI are

on page 64, line 13; the words ``or any other'' on page 65, line 9; and section

against a provision in another part of such section may be made only against

bill for amendment, the chair of the Committee of the Whole may accord priority 
in recognition on the basis of whether the Member offering an amendment has

without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
instructions.
