| 117-hr-9517 | 117 | hr | 9517 | To amend the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 to authorize certain extraordinary operation and maintenance work for urban canals of concern. | Transportation and Public Works | 2022-12-13 | 2022-12-13 | Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources. | House | Rep. Simpson, Michael K. [R-ID-2] | ID | R | S001148 | 0 | This bill amends the Bureau of Reclamation's authority to carry out emergency work to include certain urban canals of concern and amends certain cost-sharing provisions. Specifically, the bill reclassifies Reclamation's urban canals of concern as emergency extraordinary maintenance and operation work necessary to ensure the continued safe, dependable, and reliable delivery of project benefits. An urban canal of concern conveys water through a densely populated urban area and the canal's failure would result in the loss of life and property in the vicinity of the failure. As emergency work, Reclamation may provide federal funds to an urban canal of concern project on a non-reimbursable basis sufficient to cover 35% of the cost. The bill further specifies that reimbursable funds provided under this provision must be considered a nonfederal source of funds for purposes of federal grant cost-sharing requirements. | 2023-08-29T20:15:19Z | |

Portman, Rob [R-OH] | OH | R | P000449 | 3 | Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety and Oversight Improvements Act of 2022 This bill expands requirements for foreign manufacturers of cylinders used for transporting hazardous materials in the United States (e.g., compressed gas cylinders). Current regulations require foreign manufacturers to apply for approval from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration for testing such cylinders outside of the United States. For example, the bill requires that, to obtain an approval, manufacturers must answer in their applications specified questions, including whether the manufacturer is or has been subject to various civil or criminal penalties. The bill limits an approval to one year; however, the administration may extend an approval for five years if the manufacturer meets certain requirements. | 2023-03-08T12:52:53Z | |
