GOVERNMENT INFORMATION GPO 118TH CONGRESS REPT. 118-836 2d Session HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Part 1 TO PROVIDE FOR THE ISSUANCE OF A MANATEE SEMIPOSTAL STAMP DECEMBER 10, 2024.-Ordered to be printed Mr. WESTERMAN, from the Committee on Natural Resources, submitted the following REPORT [To accompany H.R. 3119] [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office] The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred the bill (H.R. 3119) to provide for the issuance of a Manatee Semipostal Stamp, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon without amendment and recommends that the bill do pass. PURPOSE OF THE LEGISLATION The purpose of H.R. 3119 is to provide for the issuance of a Man- atee Semipostal Stamp. BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION The United States Postal Service (USPS) often sells stamps to recognize important holidays and events, leaders throughout the United States' history, and other individuals and activities that are important to the American way of life. H.R. 3119 would build on that tradition by authorizing the USPS to offer a Manatee Semipostal Stamp to pay tribute to the manatee. Under this legis- lation, the funds generated through sales of this stamp would be transferred to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to pro- tect this species and its habitat. This legislation builds on recent similar initiatives from the USPS and the USFWS. In 2011, the USFWS unveiled the Save Vanishing Species Stamp (also known as the Tiger Stamp) to help support animal conservation efforts. The revenues generated from the sale of this stamp have helped fund roughly $7.5 million in con- servation projects worldwide. 59-006
