  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, Transportation & Community & 
System Preservation
  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 fund completion of the environmental designs related 
to the widening of State Route 119 in Taft, California, between Cherry 
Avenue and Tupman Road. These environmental designs are a requirement 
as part of the National Environmental Policy Act, and this funding will 
enable the Kern County Roads Department and Caltrans to complete these 
studies. State Route 119 is not only the primary commuter road between 
the Cities of Taft and Bakersfield, but is one of the major 
transportation corridors in the Central Valley that provides access to 
Los Angeles, the coastal cities, and northern California.
