    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 280, by a nonrecord vote, report the same to 
the House with the recommendation that the resolution be 
adopted.

                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for the consideration of the Senate 
amendments to H.R. 146, the ``Omnibus Public Land Management 
Act of 2009.'' The resolution makes in order a motion by the 
Chair of the Committee on Natural Resources to concur in the 
Senate amendments. The resolution waives all points of order 
against the motion except clause 10 of rule XXI. The resolution 
provides that the Senate amendments and the motion shall be 
considered as read. The resolution provides one hour of debate 
on the motion equally divided and controlled by the chairman 
and ranking minority member of the Committee on Natural 
Resources.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the rule waives all points of order against 
consideration of the motion (except for clause 10 of rule XXI) 
the Committee is not aware of any points of order against the 
motion. The waiver of all points of order against the motion is 
prophylactic.
