                                _______
                                

 Mr. Hastings of Washington, from the Committee on Natural Resources, 
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                        [To accompany H.R. 1574]

      [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

    The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred 
the bill (H.R. 1574) to amend the Dayton Aviation Heritage 
Preservation Act of 1992 to rename a site of the park, having 
considered the same, report favorably thereon without amendment 
and recommend that the bill do pass.

                          Purpose of the Bill

    The purpose of H.R. 1574 is to amend the Dayton Aviation 
Heritage Preservation Act of 1992 to rename a site of the park.

                  Background and Need for Legislation

    The John W. Berry Sr. Wright Brothers Aviation Center is 
located within the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical 
Park in Dayton, Ohio. Within the Aviation Center are located 
exhibits related to the development of aviation including an 
original 1905 Wright Flyer III, the world's first practical 
airplane and a National Historic Landmark.
    H.R. 1574 would change the name of the Aviation Center to 
the John W. Berry Sr. Wright Brothers National Museum. The name 
change from ``Aviation Center'' to ``National Museum'' may more 
accurately portray the national significance of the artifacts 
and stories within the facility and raise its public profile.

                            Committee Action

    H.R. 1574 was introduced on April 15, 2013, by Congressman 
Michael Turner (R-OH). The bill was referred to the Committee 
on Natural Resources, and within the Committee to the 
Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation. On 
April 26, 2013, the Subcommittee held a hearing on the bill. On 
May 15, 2013, the Full Natural Resources Committee met to 
consider the bill. The Subcommittee on Public Lands and 
Environmental Regulation was discharged by unanimous consent. 
No amendments were offered, and the bill was then adopted and 
ordered favorably reported to the House of Representatives by 
unanimous consent.

            Committee Oversight Findings and Recommendations

    Regarding clause 2(b)(1) of rule X and clause 3(c)(1) of 
rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the 
Committee on Natural Resources' oversight findings and 
recommendations are reflected in the body of this report.

                    Compliance With House Rule XIII

    1. Cost of Legislation. Clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII of the 
Rules of the House of Representatives requires an estimate and 
a comparison by the Committee of the costs which would be 
incurred in carrying out this bill. However, clause 3(d)(2)(B) 
of that rule provides that this requirement does not apply when 
the Committee has included in its report a timely submitted 
cost estimate of the bill prepared by the Director of the 
Congressional Budget Office under section 402 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974. Under clause 3(c)(3) of rule 
XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives and section 
403 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Committee has 
received the following cost estimate for this bill from the 
Director of the Congressional Budget Office:

H.R. 1574--A bill to amend the Dayton Aviation Heritage Preservation 
        Act of 1992 to rename a site of the park

    H.R. 1574 would change the name of the John W. Berry Sr. 
Wright Brothers Aviation Center in Dayton, Ohio, to the John W. 
Berry Sr. Wright Brothers National Museum. Based on information 
provided by the National Park Service, CB0 estimates that 
implementing the legislation would have no significant impact 
on the federal budget. CBO expects that the costs associated 
with replacing or revising signs and interpretive materials to 
reflect the new name would be done in conjunction with 
scheduled replacement and other routine maintenance. Enacting 
H.R. 1574 would not affect direct spending or revenues; 
therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
    H.R. 1574 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector 
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and 
would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal 
governments.
    The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Martin von 
Gnechten. The estimate was approved by Theresa Gullo, Deputy 
Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
    2. Section 308(a) of Congressional Budget Act. As required 
by clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives and section 308(a) of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974, this bill does not contain any new budget 
authority, spending authority, credit authority, or an increase 
or decrease in revenues or tax expenditures. Based on 
information provided by the National Park Service, CBO 
estimates that implementing the legislation would have no 
significant impact on the federal budget.
    3. General Performance Goals and Objectives. As required by 
clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII, the general performance goal or 
objective of this bill is to amend the Dayton Aviation Heritage 
Preservation Act of 1992 to rename a site of the park.

                           Earmark Statement

    This bill does not contain any Congressional earmarks, 
limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits as defined 
under clause 9(e), 9(f), and 9(g) of rule XXI of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives.

                    Compliance With Public Law 104-4

    This bill contains no unfunded mandates.

                       Compliance With H. Res. 5

    Directed Rule Making. The Chairman does not believe that 
this bill directs any executive branch official to conduct any 
specific rule-making proceedings.
    Duplication of Existing Programs. This bill does not 
establish or reauthorize a program of the federal government 
known to be duplicative of another program. Such program was 
not included in any report from the Government Accountability 
Office to Congress pursuant to section 21 of Public Law 111-139 
or identified in the most recent Catalog of Federal Domestic 
Assistance published pursuant to the Federal Program 
Information Act (Public Law 95-220, as amended by Public Law 
98-169) as relating to other programs.

                Preemption of State, Local or Tribal Law

    This bill is not intended to preempt any State, local or 
tribal law.

         Changes in Existing Law Made by the Bill, as Reported

  In compliance with clause 3(e) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, changes in existing law made by
