                          HON. ROBERT E. LATTA

                        Thursday, July 23, 2009

  Mr. LATTA. 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. 3228, the Transportation, 
Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 
2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Robert E. Latta
  Bill Number: H.R. 3228, the Transportation, Housing and Urban 
Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010
  Account: Federal Agency Administration; Airport Improvement Program
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Sandusky County Regional Airport
  Address of Requesting Entity: 101 South Front Street, Fremont, OH 
43420
  Description of Request: $500,000 for the Sandusky County Regional 
Airport (S24) Approach Lowering project. The first part of the project 
is the 405 topographical survey that is required before an GPS/LPV 
approach can be approved. The second item that the Sandusky County 
Regional Airport Authority (SCRAA) is proposing is to extend its 
parallel taxiway approximately 1,700 feet providing the Sandusky County 
Regional Airport (S24) a full length parallel taxiway. The existing 
3,800 feet of taxiway, currently named taxiway ``b'' and ``c'', was 
constructed in two separate phases. The preliminary purpose to complete 
the parallel taxiway is to increase the Airport's level of operational 
safety. The completion of a full-length parallel taxiway at the Airport 
would eliminate the hazards of ``back-taxiing'' on the runway. A full 
length parallel taxiway makes it possible for a landing aircraft to 
exit a runway more quickly, allowing other aircraft waiting to land to 
get on the ground sooner. A full parallel taxiway would enhance 
airfield safety and reduce the risk of runway incursions. Additionally, 
the project will have an impact on the overall County's (and 
surrounding counties') public safety, as it will allow the Life Flight 
helicopter, which is based at the airport, the ability to return to its 
pad once critical missions have taken place. I certify that neither I 
nor my spouse has any financial interest in this project.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Robert E. Latta
  Bill Number: H.R. 3228, the Transportation, Housing and Urban 
Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010
  Account: Housing and Urban Development (HUD); Economic Development 
Initiatives (EDI)
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Board of Fulton County Commissioners
  Address of Requesting Entity: 125 South Fulton Street, Suite 270, 
Wauseon, OH 43567
  Description of Request: $250,000 for the Northeast Fulton County 
water system project. Northeast Fulton County is a portion of the 
County that consists of four Townships (Amboy, Fulton, Pike and 
Royalton), two Villages (Metamora and Lyons) and the Evergreen Local 
School District. This project, as proposed, consists of installing 
water mains and facilities to provide for safe drinking water supply to 
these areas through a connection into an existing regional water 
system. The route of this water supply system through the four 
Townships would provide drinking water to 1100 people within both 
Villages and an estimated population of 1350 people outside both 
Villages. The Evergreen Local Schools District is one complex for 1400 
high, middle and elementary schools students. I certify that neither I 
nor my spouse has any financial interest in this project.
