    H.R. 5706, as amended, designates a facility leased by the 
Government Printing Office, located at 31451 East United Avenue 
in Pueblo, Colorado, as the ``Frank Evans Government Printing

Springs before attending Pomona College in 1941. He disrupted 
his studies to serve as a U.S. Navy pilot during World War II. 
After completion of his service, Mr. Evans attended the 
University of Denver, graduating with a bachelor's degree, and 
then received his law degree in 1950. After graduating from law 
school, Mr. Evans went into private practice in Pueblo, 
Colorado, and was elected to the Colorado State House of 
Representatives in 1960. In 1964, Representative Evans was 
elected to U.S. House of Representatives, where he served 
Colorado's 3rd Congressional District for seven terms until his 
retirement in 1978. Representative Evans is credited with 
bringing the Government Printing Office Distribution Center to 
Pueblo, Colorado. Representative Frank Edwards Evans passed 
away on June 8, 2010.

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                    Washington, DC, August 3, 2010.
Hon. James L. Oberstar,
Chairman, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
reviewed the following legislation ordered reported by the 
House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on July 
29, 2010:
           H.R. 4387, a bill to designate the federal 
        building located at 100 North Palafox Street in 
        Pensacola, Florida, as the ``Winston E. Arnow Federal 
        Building'';
           H.R. 5651, a bill to designate the federal 
        building and United States courthouse located at 515 
        9th Street in Rapid City, South Dakota, as the ``Andrew 
        W. Bogue Federal Building and United States 
        Courthouse'';
           H.R. 5706, a bill to designate the building 
        occupied by the Government Printing Office located at 
        31451 East United Avenue in Pueblo, Colorado, as the 
        ``Frank Evans Government Printing Office Building'';
           H.R. 5773, a bill to redesignate the federal 
        building located at 6401 Security Boulevard in 
        Baltimore, Maryland, commonly known as the Social 
        Security Operations Building, as the ``Robert M. Ball 
        Federal Building''; and
           H.R. 5591, a bill to designate the airport 
        traffic control tower located at Spokane International 
        Airport in Spokane, Washington, as the ``Ray Daves 
        Airport Traffic Control Tower.''
    CBO estimates that enacting those pieces of legislation 
would have no significant impact on the federal budget and 
would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-
as-you-go procedures would not apply. The bills contain no 
intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the 
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on 
state, local, or tribal governments.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Matthew 
Pickford.
            Sincerely,
                                         Robert A. Sunshine
                              (For Douglas W. Elmendorf, Director).

                     COMPLIANCE WITH HOUSE RULE XXI

    Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House 
of Representatives, the Committee is required to include a list 
of congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited 
tariff benefits, as defined in clause 9(e), 9(f), and 9(g) of 
rule XXI of the Rules of the House of Representatives. H.R. 
5706, as amended, does not contain any earmarks, limited tax 
benefits, or limited tariff benefits under clause 9(e), 9(f), 
or 9(g) of rule XXI.

                   CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY STATEMENT

    Pursuant to clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, committee reports on a bill or joint 
resolution of a public character shall include a statement 
citing the specific powers granted to the Congress in the 
Constitution to enact the measure. The Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure finds that Congress has the 
authority to enact this measure pursuant to its powers granted 
under article I, section 8 of the Constitution.

                       FEDERAL MANDATES STATEMENT

    The Committee adopts as its own the estimate of Federal 
mandates prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office pursuant to section 423 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform 
Act (P.L. 104-4).

                        PREEMPTION CLARIFICATION

    Section 423 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 
requires the report of any Committee on a bill or joint 
resolution to include a statement on the extent to which the 
bill or joint resolution is intended to preempt state, local, 
or tribal law. The Committee states that H.R. 5706, as amended, 
does not preempt any state, local, or tribal law.

                      ADVISORY COMMITTEE STATEMENT

    No advisory committees within the meaning of section 5(b) 
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act are created by this 
legislation.

                APPLICABILITY TO THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH

    The Committee finds that the legislation does not relate to 
the terms and conditions of employment or access to public 
services or accommodations within the meaning of section 
102(b)(3) of the Congressional Accountability Act (P.L. 104-1).

         CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW MADE BY THE BILL, AS REPORTED
