    CONGRESSIONAL EARMARKS, LIMITED TAX BENEFITS, OR LIMITED TARIFF 
                                BENEFITS

  Under clause 9 of rule XXI, lists or statements on congressional 
earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits were 
submitted as follows:

       Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House 
     of Representatives, the Committee on Transportation and 
     Infrastructure is required to include a list of congressional 
     earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits as 
     defined in clause 9(d), 9(e), or 9(f) of rule XXI of the 
     Rules of the House of Representatives that are included in 
     the manager's amendment to H.R. 915, the ``FAA 
     Reauthorization Act of 2009''. It is not clear if the 
     definition of ``congressional earmark'' under clause 9(d) of 
     rule XXI applies to the provision described below. However, 
     in the interest of full disclosure and transparency, the 
     Committee has required Members of Congress to comply with all 
     requirements of clause 9(d), 9(e) of rule XXI.
       The Amendment No. _ to be offered by Mr. Oberstar of 
     Minnesota, or his designee, to H.R. 915 contains a provision 
     requested by Representative Jim Matheson, which allows the 
     release of certain restrictions on the use of a parcel of 
     property conveyed to the City of St. George, Utah for airport 
     purposes. The proceeds from the sale of such property will be 
     used for the development of a replacement airport. No other 
     provision in the amendment includes an earmark, limited tax 
     benefit, or limited tariff benefit.
