INTRODUCTORY NOTE The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure is pleased to publish a compilation of selected laws within the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, Hazardous Materials and Pipeline Transportation. At the beginning of the 106th Congress, the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on Public Buildings and Economic Development was broadened to include the statutory provisions governing hazardous materials transportation and pipeline safety. The jurisdictional additions are reflected in the new title of the Subcommittee. This compilation includes a selection of laws pertaining to the Subcommittee's jurisdiction over economic development, hazardous materials transportation, and pipeline safety. In the 105th Congress, the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 and the Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965 were each amended by the Economic Development Administration and Appalachian Regional Development Reform Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-393), reauthorizing and reforming both the Economic Development Administration and the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). The compilation includes the Acts as amended. Additionally, the compilation includes the statutory provisions establishing the Denali Commission, an economic development agency based on the ARC model exclusive to the State of Alaska, created by Public Law 105-277 and amended by Public Law 106-31. The compilation also includes the statutory provisions governing transportation of hazardous materials and provisions governing transportation by pipeline. The pipeline provisions include the one-call notification grant incentive program established in chapter 61 of title 49, United States Code, by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (Public Law 105-178) and chapters of subtitle VIII of title 49 relating to pipeline safety (chapter 601), user fees (chapter 603), and interstate commerce regulation (chapter 605). In closing, I wish to recognize the efforts of the Office of Legislative Counsel for its assistance in assembling this compilation and providing drafting services for legislation that appears before this Committee.
