[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 154 (2008), Part 8] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages 10951-10952] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]EARMARK DECLARATION ______ HON. CANDICE S. MILLER of michigan in the house of representatives Thursday, May 22, 2008 Mrs. MILLER of Michigan. Madam Speaker, consistent with House Republican Earmark Standards, I am submitting the following earmark disclosure and certification information for two individual project authorization requests that I made and which were included within the text of H.R. 5658, the ``Duncan Hunter Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009.'' Bill Number: H.R. 5658--``The Duncan Hunter Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009.'' 1. Requesting Member: Congresswoman Candice Miller. Bill Number: H.R. 5658. Project Amount: $2.5 Million. Account: Operations and Maintenance, Army PE# 423012. Receiving Entity: Army Manufacturing Technical Assistance Production Program (MTAPP). Address: U.S. Army TACOM, Industrial Base Office, AMSTA-LC-I10 6501 E. Eleven Mile Rd., Warren, MI 48397. Description of Request: MTAPP focuses on solving supply chain problems that impact the Army and Department of Defense. MTAPP solves the above-mentioned problems using small manufacturing businesses. The problems that are solved by MTAPP lead to improvement in mission capability and availability rates of Army/DoD combat and tactical vehicles. In addition, the small manufacturing businesses provide a sustainable industrial base of suppliers to support the maintenance of weapons platforms. The small businesses also provide the Defense commercial sector with a [[Page 10952]] viable pool of small businesses to meet the Federal Government mandated socio-economic goals. Matching Funds: Not applicable (Federal entity). 2. Requesting Member: Congresswoman Candice Miller. Bill Number: H.R. 5658. Project Amount: $2 Million. Account: Research, Development, Test & Evaluation, Navy, PE # 0602123N. Receiving Entity: Autonomous Superconducting Fault Current Limiting Systems. Address: Office of Naval Research One Liberty Center 875 North Randolph Street, Suite 1425 Arlington, VA 22203-1995. Description of Request: Modern shipboard power systems are susceptible to catastrophic high current surges (i.e. fault currents) that may result in permanent equipment damage and total power system shutdown. Efficient, reliable, and reconfigurable shipboard power systems are critical to the operation of present and future naval surface combatants, such as the DDG-1000 next-generation destroyer. High power Fault Current Limiters (FCLs) enable the integration of shipboard propulsion and distribution power systems, thus allowing propulsion power to be used for other loads under the most adverse conditions of warfare. High Temperature Superconductor-Superconductor/ Metal Matrix Composite Fault Current Limiter can effectively meet the needs of the DDG-1000 and enable the integration of the shipboard propulsion/distribution power system. Matching Funds: Not applicable. ____________________
