  Mr. McCARTHY of California. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican 
Leadership guidelines on earmarks, I am submitting the following 
information for publication in the Congressional Record regarding 
earmarks I requested that were included as part of H.R. 3288, the 
Departments of Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Kevin McCarthy
  Bill Number: H.R. 3288
  Account: Federal Highway Administration, Surface Transportation 
Priorities
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Kern County Roads Department
  Address of Requesting Entity: 2700 M Street, Suite 400, Bakersfield, 
California 93301
  Description of Request: $400,000 was included for the Kern County 
Roads Department to help fund construction of a six-lane overpass along 
Seventh Standard Road at the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad 
crossing. Seventh Standard Road is located in the northern Bakersfield 
metropolitan area, and serves as a major goods carrier route and east/
west corridor in the community. This grade separation project will 
produce local jobs and reduce congestion and air pollution from idling 
vehicles as more than 50 high-speed trains cross Seventh Standard Road 
at this railroad crossing daily.
