Calendar No. 509 117TH CONGRESS REPORT 2d Session SENATE 117-167 FREDERICK JOBS AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION TRAINING CENTER LAND ACQUISITION ACT SEPTEMBER 27, 2022.-Ordered to be printed Mr. MANCHIN, from the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, submitted the following R E P O R T [To accompany S. 2367] The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was referred the bill (S. 2367), to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to acquire land in Frederick County, Maryland, for the Historic Preservation Training Center of the National Park Service, and for other purposes, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon without amendment and recommends that the bill do pass. PURPOSE The purpose of S. 2367 is to authorize the Secretary of the Inte- rior to acquire land in Frederick County, Maryland, for a National Park Service Historic Preservation Training Center. BACKGROUND AND NEED The Historic Preservation Training Center (Center), originally es- tablished in 1977 in Williamsport, Maryland, supports National Park Service (NPS) historic preservation projects and teaches NPS employees traditional trade skills and historic preservation tech- niques through hands-on experiential learning opportunities. The Center staff preserves some of the nation's most treasured historic resources, from mooring quays at Pearl Harbor National Memorial and log cabins on the Blue Ridge Parkway, to stone repairs at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. As carpenters, masons, woodcrafters, metalsmiths, and other traditional trade masters re- tire, the Center provides apprenticeship programs to engage youth and veterans so that these important skills are passed down and not lost. 29-010
