  Mr. TIM MURPHY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the 
Republican Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the 
following information regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 
2647, The National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2010:
  Requesting Member: Congressman Tim Murphy (PA-18)
  Bill Number: H.R. 2647, The National Defense Authorization Act of 
Fiscal Year 2010
  Account: RDA
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: PPG Industries
  Address of Requesting Entity: 4325 Rosanna Drive; Allison Park, PA 
15101
  Description of Request: Nanotechnology for Potable Water and Waste 
Treatment--PPG Industries proposes to use its nanotechnology for water 
filtration technologies. One such technology applicable to water 
filtration is nano-fiber mats which may be produced in high volumes 
through an electromechanical spinning technique developed by PPG. These 
nano-fiber mats can be functionalized to sequester water contaminants 
quickly and efficiently. Additionally, fiberglass can be modified with 
nano-materials and then films to mitigate waterborne contaminants. The 
program will address both conventional water treatment and water 
security needs in a military field environment and the public sector.
  Amount: $2,000,000
  Budget Breakdown: 80 percent of the funding will be used for Research 
and Development and 20 percent for procuring materials and testing.
