The House began consideration of HR 2610, the Transportation,
Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2014,
on Tuesday and will finish consideration of the bill today.
To date there has only been one floor amendment approved
that will be of specific interest to the chemical safety/transportation
community. An amendment (Cong
Rec, 7-30-13, Pgs H5117-8) offered by Rep. Griffin (R,AR) increased the
operational funding of the Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety
Administration by $500,000 (2.3%). That increase was offset by taking money
from account for the Office of the Secretary (DOT).
Since the reading of the bill has moved on to the HUD
portion of the bill, there probably will not be any further amendments of
interest to the chemical safety/transportation community. It is possible that
amendments could be made to the spending for NTSB as their funding is found in
Title III of the bill, but it is unlikely.
