“Idaho 324 acre-feet
“Utah 11,850 acre-feet
“Wyoming 2,150 acre-feet

“Additional rights are hereby granted to store in any water year above Stewart Dam, 35,500 acre-feet of Bear River water and no more 94 STAT. 11under this paragraph for use in Utah and Wyoming; and to store in any water year in Idaho or Wyoming on Thomas Fork 1,000 acre-feet of water for use in Idaho. Such additional storage rights shall be subordinate to, and shall not be exercised when the effect thereof will be to impair or interfere with (1) existing direct flow rights for consumptive use in any river division and (2) existing storage rights above Stewart Dam, but shall not be subordinate to any right to store water in Bear Lake or elsewhere below Stewart Dam. One-half of the 35,500 acre-feet of additional storage right above Stewart Dam so granted to Utah and Wyoming is hereby allocated to Utah, and the remaining one-half thereof is allocated to Wyoming.

 “B.

In addition to the rights defined in Paragraph A of this Article,

Additional storage rights.

further storage entitlements above Stewart Dam are hereby granted. Wyoming and Utah are granted an additional right to store in any year 70,000 acre-feet of Bear River water for use in Utah and Wyoming to be divided equally; and Idaho is granted an additional right to store 4,500 acre-feet of Bear River water in Wyoming or Idaho for use in Idaho. Water rights granted under this paragraph and water appropriated, including ground water tributary to Bear River, which is applied to beneficial use on or after January 1, 1976, shall not result in an annual increase in depletion of the flow of the Bear River and its tributaries above Stewart Dam of more than 28,000 acre-feet in excess of the depletion as of January 1, 1976. Thirteen thousand (13,000) acre-feet of the additional depletion above Stewart Dam is allocated to each of Utah and Wyoming, and two thousand (2,000) acre-feet is allocated to Idaho.

“The additional storage rights provided for in this Paragraph shall

Limitations.

be subordinate to, and shall not be exercised when the effect thereof will be to impair or interfere with (1) existing direct flow rights for consumptive use in any river division and (2) existing storage rights above Stewart Dam, but shall not be subordinate to any right to store water in Bear Lake or elsewhere below Stewart Dam; provided, however, there shall be no diversion of water to storage above Stewart Dam under this Paragraph B when the water surface elevation of Bear Lake is below 5,911.00 feet, Utah Power & Light Company datum (the equivalent of elevation 5,913.75 feet based on the sea level datum of 1929 through the Pacific Northwest Supplementary Adjustment of 1947). Water depletions permitted under this Paragraph B shall be calculated and administered by a Commission-approved procedure.

 “C. In addition to the rights defined in Article VI, Paragraphs A and B, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming are granted the right to store and use water above Stewart Dam that otherwise would be bypassed or released from Bear Lake at times when all other direct flow and storage rights are satisfied. The availability of such water and the operation of reservoir space to store water above Bear Lake under this paragraph shall be determined by a Commission-approved procedure. The storage provided for in this Paragraph shall be subordinate to all other storage and direct flow rights in the Bear River. Storage rights under this Paragraph shall be exercised with equal priority on the following basis: six (6) percent thereof to Idaho; forty-seven (47) percent thereof to Utah; and forty-seven (47) percent thereof to Wyoming. “D. The waters of Bear Lake below elevation 5,912.91 feet, Utah

Irrigation reserve.

Power and Light Company Bear Lake datum (the equivalent of elevation 5,915.66 feet based on the sea level datum of 1929 through the Pacific Northwest Supplementary Adjustment of 1947) shall constitute a reserve for irrigation. The water of such reserve shall not 94 STAT. 12be released solely for the generation of power, except in emergency, but after release for irrigation it may be used in generating power if not inconsistent with its use for irrigation. Any water in Bear Lake in excess of that constituting the irrigation reserve may be used for the generation of power or for other beneficial uses. As new reservoir capacity above the Stewart Dam is constructed to provide additional storage pursuant to Paragraph A of this Article, the Commission shall make a finding in writing as to the quantity of additional storage and shall thereupon make an order increasing the irrigation reserve in accordance with the following table:
Lake surface elevation,

No such fare shall be suspended, unless the Board determines that it may be unduly preferential, unduly prejudicial, or unjustly discriminatory or that suspension is in the public interest because of unreasonable regulatory actions by a foreign government with respect to fare proposals of an air carrier; or “(C) with respect to any proposed decrease filed after the date of enactment of this paragraph, the fare would not be more than 50 percent lower than the standard foreign fare level for the same or essentially similar class of service, except that this provision shall not apply to any proposed decrease in any fare if the Board determines that such proposed fare may be predatory or discriminatory or that suspension of any such fare is required because of unreasonable regulatory actions by a foreign government with respect to fare proposals by an air carrier. “(7)

“Standard foreign fare level.”

For purposes of this subsection, ‘standard foreign fare level’ means that fare level (as adjusted only in accordance with paragraph (9) of this subsection) filed for and permitted by the Civil Aeronautics Board to go into effect on or after October 1, 1979 and before the 180th day after the date of enactment of this paragraph (with seasonal fares adjusted by the percentage difference that prevailed between seasons in 1978), or the fare level established under paragraph (8), for each pair of points, for each class of fare existing on that date, and in effect on the effective date of the establishment of each additional class of fare established after October 1, 1979. “(8)(A)

Unjust or unreasonable fares, determination.

The Board is authorized, on the basis of oral evidentiary hearings before an administrative law judge, to determine that a fare between two points on October 1, 1979 is unjust or unreasonable. Such oral evidentiary hearing shall be completed within 180 days of enactment of this section, and the Board may establish such deadlines including the deadline for the judge’s decision as the Board may deem necessary to meet such requirement. If the Board determines that such a fare is unjust or unreasonable, the Board shall, on the basis of such hearing record, establish the standard foreign fare level between such points. “(B) Standard foreign fare levels shall not be established under this paragraph for points between which the passengers carried by United States carriers in foreign air transportation are, in the aggregate, more than 25 percent of the total passengers carried by United States air carriers in foreign air transportation during the most recent 12-month period for which data is available. 94 STAT. 47 “(C) The establishment of a standard foreign fare level under this paragraph does not permit a reduction in fares. “(D) No standard foreign fare level established under this paragraph shall take effect on or before the 180th day after the date of enactment of this paragraph. “(E) The authority given the Board by subparagraph (A) of this paragraph shall expire on the 180th day after the date of enactment of this paragraph. “(9) The Board shall, within 30 days after the date of enactment of

In determining the standard foreign fare level, the Board shall make no adjustment to costs acutally incurred. In establishing standard foreign fare levels and making the adjustments called for in this paragraph, the Board may use all relevant or appropriate information reasonably available to it. “(10) The Board may by rule increase the percentage specified in paragraph (6)(C) of this subsection.”.

Mar. 8, 1980

[S.J. Res. 43]

 Whereas inexpensive and abundant energy permitted our great Nation to rise to a position of preeminence in the world community of nations; and Whereas events of recent years have shown that traditional energy resources are in potentially short supply and these massive changes in the world energy production and distribution system have made this subject a focal point of domestic and foreign policy; and Whereas the development of new energy technologies, including solar energy and other renewable resources, promise to reduce our dependence on insecure and hostile foreign cartels; and Whereas these fundamental changes require the update of our educational system at all grade levels to prepare our youth to meet the new demands which are being created; and Whereas a National Energy Education Day (NEED) will bring together teachers, school officials, parent groups, to help the Nation’s children understand the international energy crisis; and Whereas NEED must be a total educational effort, the start of an ongoing process which can demonstrate that to ignore the plight of an energy shortfall and to fail to seek sound remedies would be an error: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

National Energy Education Day.

Designation authorization.
That March 21, 1980, is proclaimed “National Energy Education Day” to commence an ongoing program of energy education in schools, both public and private, at all grade levels, and the President is authorized and requested to issue (A) a proclamation calling upon the general public and education institutions of the United States to observe this day with appropriate activities and ceremonies, and (B) to direct all appropriate Federal agencies to cooperate with and participate in, the celebration of “National Energy Education Day”.

(b)(1) The provisions of this subsection are enacted by the Congress— (A) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and the House of Representatives, respectively, and as such they are deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in 94 STAT. 394that House in the case of concurrent resolutions which are subject to this section, and such provisions supersede other rules only to the extent that they are inconsistent with such other rules; and (B) with full recognition of the constitutional right of either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner and to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that House. (2)(A) Any concurrent resolution disapproving a final rule of the Commission shall, upon introduction or receipt from the other House of the Congress, be referred immediately by the presiding officer of such House to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate or to the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce of the House, as the case may be. (B) If a committee to which a concurrent resolution is referred does not report such concurrent resolution before the end of the period of 75 calendar days of continuous session of the Congress after the referral of such resolution to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate or to the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce of the House, as the case may be, under subsection (a)(1), it shall be in order to move to discharge any such committee from further consideration of such concurrent resolution.

An amendment to the motion shall not be in order, and it shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion was agreed to or disagreed to. If the motion to discharge is agreed to or disagreed to, the motion may not be renewed, nor may another motion to discharge the committee be made with respect to any other concurrent resolution with respect to the same final rule of the Commission. (ii) A motion to discharge in the House may be made by presentation in writing to the Clerk. The motion may be called up only if the motion has been signed by one-fifth of the Members of the House. The motion is highly privileged (except that it may not be made after the committee has reported a concurrent resolution of disapproval with respect to the same rule). Debate on such motion shall be limited to not more than 1 hour, the time to be divided equally between those favoring and those opposing the motion. An amendment to the motion is not in order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to. (3)(A) When a committee has reported, or has been discharged from further consideration of, a concurrent resolution, it shall be at any time thereafter in order (even though a previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed to) to move to proceed to the consideration of the concurrent resolution. The motion shall be privileged in the Senate and highly privileged in the House of Representatives, and shall not be debatable. An amendment to the motion shall not be in order, and it shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion was agreed to or disagreed to. (B) Debate on the concurrent resolution shall be limited to not more than 10 hours, which shall be divided equally between those favoring and those opposing such concurrent resolution. A motion further to 94 STAT. 395limit debate shall not be debatable. An amendment to, or motion to recommit, the concurrent resolution shall not be in order, and it shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which such concurrent resolution was agreed to or disagreed to. (4) Appeals from the decision of the Chair relating to the application of the rules of the Senate or the House of Representatives, as the case may be, to the procedure relating to a concurrent resolution shall be decided without debate. (5) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, if a House has approved a concurrent resolution with respect to any final rule of the Commission, then it shall not be in order to consider in such House any other concurrent resolution with respect to the same final rule. (c)(1) If a final rule of the Commission is disapproved by the Congress under subsection (a)(2), then the Commission may promulgate a final rule which relates to the same acts or practices as the final rule disapproved by the Congress in accordance with this subsection. Such final rule— (A) shall be based upon— (i) the rulemaking record of the final rule disapproved by the Congress; or (ii) such rulemaking record and the record established in supplemental rulemaking proceedings conducted by the Commission in accordance with section 553 of title 5, United States Code, in any case in which the Commission determines that it is necessary to supplement the existing rulemaking record; and (B) may contain such changes as the Commission considers necessary or appropriate. (2) The Commission, after promulgating a final rule under this subsection, shall submit the final rule to the Congress in accordance with subsection (a)(1). (d) Congressional inaction on, or rejection of, a concurrent resolution of disapproval under this section shall not be construed as an expression of approval of the final rule involved, and shall not be construed to create any presumption of validity with respect to such final rule. (e)(1) The Comptroller General shall prepare a report which examines

Asbestos School Hazard Detection and Control Act of 1980.

20 USC 3601 note.
short title Section 1. This Act may be cited as the “Asbestos School Hazard Detection and Control Act of 1980”.
findings and purposes Sec. 2. (a) The Congress finds that—

20 USC 3601.

 (1) exposure to asbestos fibers has been identified over a long period of time and by reputable medical and scientific evidence as significantly increasing the incidence of cancer and other severe or fatal diseases, such as asbestosis; (2) medical evidence has suggested that children may be particularly vulnerable to environmentally induced cancers; (3) medical science has not established any minimum level of exposure to asbestos fibers which is considered to be safe to individuals exposed to the fibers; (4) substantial amounts of asbestos, particularly in sprayed form, have been used in school buildings, especially during the period 1946 through 1972; (5) partial surveys in some States have indicated that (A) in a number of school buildings materials containing asbestos fibers have become damaged or friable, causing asbestos fibers to be dislodged into the air, and (B) asbestos concentrations far exceeding normal ambient air levels have been found in school buildings containing such damaged materials; (6) the presence in school buildings of friable or easily damaged asbestos creates an unwarranted hazard to the health of the school children and school employees who are exposed to such materials; (7) the Department of Health and Human Services and the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as several States, have attempted to publicize the potential hazards to school children and employees from exposure to asbestos fibers, but there is no systematic program for identifying hazardous conditions in schools or for remedying those conditions; (8) because there is no Federal health standard regulating the concentration of asbestos fibers in noncommercial workplace environments such as schools, school employees and students 94 STAT. 488may be exposed to hazardous concentrations of asbestos fibers in the school buildings which they use each day; (9) without an improved program of information distribution, technical and scientific assistance, and financial support, many local educational agencies and States will not be able to mitigate the potential asbestos hazards in their schools; and (10) the effective regulation of interstate commerce for the protection of the public health requires the establishment of programs under this Act to identify and mitigate hazards from exposure to asbestos fibers and materials emitting such fibers.

 If any person fails to pay an assessment of a civil penalty after it has become a final and unappealable order, or after the appropriate court of appeals has entered final judgment in favor of the Secretary, the Secretary shall refer the matter to the Attorney General who shall recover the amount assessed in any appropriate district court of the United States.

[H.R. 2759]

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act.

30 USC 1401 note.
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the “Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act”.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

30 USC 1401.

 (a) Findings.— The Congress finds that— (1) the United States’ requirements for hard minerals to satisfy national industrial needs will continue to expand and the demand for such minerals will increasingly exceed the available domestic sources of supply; (2) in the case of certain hard minerals, the United States is dependent upon foreign sources of supply and the acquisition of such minerals from foreign sources is a significant factor in the national balance-of-payments position; (3) the present and future national interest of the United States requires the availability of hard mineral resources which is independent of the export policies of foreign nations; (4) there is an alternate source of supply, which is significant in relation to national needs, of certain hard minerals, including nickel, copper, cobalt, and manganese, contained in the nodules existing in great abundance on the deep seabed; (5) the nations of the world, including the United States, will benefit if the hard mineral resources of the deep seabed beyond limits of national jurisdiction can be developed and made available for their use; (6) in particular, future access to the nickel, copper, cobalt, and manganese resources of the deep seabed will be important to the industrial needs of the nations of the world, both developed and developing; (7) on December 17, 1970, the United States supported (by affirmative vote) the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2749 (XXV) declaring inter alia the principle that the mineral resources of the deep seabed are the common heritage of mankind, with the expectation that this principle would be legally defined under the terms of a comprehensive international Law of the Sea Treaty yet to be agreed upon; (8) it is in the national interest of the United States and other nations to encourage a widely acceptable Law of the Sea Treaty, which will provide a new legal order for the oceans covering a broad range of ocean interests, including exploration for and commercial recovery of hard mineral resources of the deep seabed; 94 STAT. 554 (9) the negotiations to conclude such a Treaty and establish the international regime governing the exercise of rights over, and exploration of, the resources of the deep seabed, referred to in General Assembly Resolution 2749 (XXV) are in progress but may not be concluded in the near future; (10) even if such negotiations are completed promptly, much time will elapse before such an international regime is established and in operation; (11) development of technology required for the exploration and recovery of hard mineral resources of the deep seabed will require substantial investment for many years before commercial production can occur, and must proceed at this time if deep seabed minerals are to be available when needed; (12) it is the legal opinion of the United States that exploration for and commercial recovery of hard mineral resources of the deep seabed are freedoms of the high seas subject to a duty of reasonable regard to the interests of other states in their exercise of those and other freedoms recognized by general principles of international law; (13) pending a Law of the Sea Treaty, and in the absence of agreement among states on applicable principles of international law, the uncertainty among potential investors as to the future legal regime is likely to discourage or prevent the investments necessary to develop deep seabed mining technology; (14) pending a Law of the Sea Treaty, the protection of the marine environment from damage caused by exploration or recovery of hard mineral resources of the deep seabed depends upon the enactment of suitable interim national legislation; (15) a Law of the Sea Treaty is likely to establish financial arrangements which obligate the United States or United States citizens to make payments to an international organization with respect to exploration or recovery of the hard mineral resources of the deep seabed; and (16) legislation is required to establish an interim legal regime under which technology can be developed and the exploration and recovery of the hard mineral resources of the deep seabed can take place until such time as a Law of the Sea Treaty enters into force with respect to the United States. (b) Purposes.— The Congress declares that the purposes of this Act are— (1) to encourage the successful conclusion of a comprehensive Law of the Sea Treaty, which will give legal definition to the principle that the hard mineral resources of the deep seabed are the common heritage of mankind and which will assure, among other things, nondiscriminatory access to such resources for all nations; (2) pending the ratification by, and entering into force with respect to, the United States of such a Treaty, to provide for the establishment of an international revenue-sharing fund the proceeds of which shall be used for sharing with the international community pursuant to such Treaty; (3) to establish, pending the ratification by, and entering into force with respect to, the United States of such a Treaty, an interim program to regulate the exploration for and commercial recovery of hard mineral resources of the deep seabed by United States citizens; (4) to accelerate the program of environmental assessment of exploration for and commercial recovery of hard mineral94 STAT. 555 resources of the deep seabed and assure that such exploration and recovery activities are conducted in a manner which will encourage the conservation of such resources, protect the quality of the environment, and promote the safety of life and property at sea; and (5) to encourage the continued development of technology necessary to recover the hard mineral resources of the deep seabed.
SEC. 3. INTERNATIONAL OBJECTIVES OF THIS ACT.

30 USC 1402.

 (a) Disclaimer of Extraterritorial Sovereignty.— By the enactment of this Act, the United States— (1) exercises its jurisdiction over United States citizens and vessels, and foreign persons and vessels otherwise subject to its jurisdiction, in the exercise of the high seas freedom to engage in exploration for, and commercial recovery of, hard mineral resources of the deep seabed in accordance with generally accepted principles of international law recognized by the United States; but (2) does not thereby assert sovereignty or sovereign or exclusive rights or jurisdiction over, or the ownership of, any areas or resources in the deep seabed. (b) Secretary of State.— (1) The Secretary of State is encouraged to negotiate successfully a comprehensive Law of the Sea Treaty which, among other things, provides assured and nondiscriminatory access to the hard mineral resources of the deep seabed for all nations, gives legal definition to the principle that the resources of the deep seabed are the common heritage of mankind, and provides for the establishment of requirements for the protection of the quality of the environment as stringent as those promulgated pursuant to this Act. (2) Until such a Treaty is concluded, the Secretary of State is encouraged to promote any international actions necessary to adequately protect the environment from adverse impacts which may result from any exploration for and commercial recovery of hard mineral resources of the deep seabed carried out by persons not subject to this Act.

Report to Congress.

Secretary of Transportation, submit to the Congress within 9 months after the date of the enactment of this Act a report on— (1) the need for, and practicality of, mandating through legislation that any new motor vehicle sold in the United States shall be capable of using alcohol as a motor fuel in specified alcohol-gasoline mixtures, or using alcohol as the only fuel; (2) the need for any other legislation to address technical or institutional barriers to the widespread marketing of alcohol, including requirements that would mandate specified proportions of alcohol in all motor gasoline sold; and (3) any other aspects of the use of alcohol as a motor fuel, as the Secretary considers appropriate.
natural gas priorities Sec. 273. For the purposes of section 401 of the Natural Gas Policy

Essential agricultural use.

15 USC 3391a.

15 USC 3391.

Act of 1978 (Public Law 95–621), the term “essential agricultural use shall— (1) include use of natural gas in sugar refining for production of alcohol; (2) include use of natural gas for agricultural production on set-aside acreage or acreage diverted from the production of a commodity (as provided under the Agricultural Act of 1949) to be

7 USC 1421 note.

devoted to the production of any commodity for conversion into alcohol or hydrocarbons for use as motor fuel or other fuels; and (3) for the 5-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act, include use of natural gas in the distillation of fuel-grade alcohol from food grains or other biomass by facilities in existence on the date of the enactment of this Act which do not have the installed capability to burn coal lawfully.
standby authority for allocation of alcohol fuel Sec. 274. Section 4 of the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973 is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new

15 USC 753.

subsection: “(f) (1) If the President finds that there are significant quantities of alcohol available for use in motor fuel that are not being used for that purpose because of an unavailability of crude oil with respect to a refiner or unavailability of gasoline with respect to persons engaged in marketing of petroleum products, the President shall, to the extent practicable and subject to the provisions of this Act, use the authorities under subsection (a) to provide for the allocation of— “(A) crude oil to refineries engaged in the production of refined petroleum products to be mixed with alcohol, and “(B) refined petroleum products to persons engaged in the marketing of petroleum products, so as to result in the use of such quantities of alcohol in motor fuel. “(2) In exercising such authorities pursuant to this subsection, the President shall— 94 STAT. 712 “(A) seek to avoid disruption of crude oil and refined petroleum product markets and to avoid causing unreasonable increases in the price of alcohol, and “(B) give due consideration to the adequacy of quality control in any refinery operations related to the receipt of an allocation of crude oil. “(3)

“Alcohol.’

purpose of the act Sec. 2. This Act is part of the continuing effort by Congress to

49 USC 10101 note.

reduce unnecessary regulation by the Federal Government.
congressional findings Sec. 3. (a) The Congress hereby finds that a safe, sound, competitive,

49 USC 10101 note.

and fuel efficient motor carrier system is vital to the maintenance of a strong national economy and a strong national defense; that the statutes governing Federal regulation of the motor carrier industry are outdated and must be revised to reflect the transportation needs and realities of the 1980’s; that historically the existing regulatory structure has tended in certain circumstances to inhibit market entry, carrier growth, maximum utilization of equipment and energy resources, and opportunities for minorities and others to enter the trucking industry; that protective refutation has resulted in some operating inefficiencies and some anticompetitive pricing; that in order to reduce the uncertainty felt by the Nation’s transportation industry, the Interstate Commerce Commission should be given explicit direction for regulation of the motor carrier industry and well-defined parameters within which it may act pursuant to congressional policy; that the Interstate Commerce Commission should not attempt to go beyond the powers vested in it by the Interstate Commerce Act and other legislation enacted by Congress; and that

49 USC prec. 1 note.

legislative and resulting changes should be implemented with the least amount of disruption to the transportation system consistent with the scope of the reforms enacted. (b) The appropriate authorizing committees of Congress shall

Uphold the Constitution, laws, and regulations of the United States and of all governments therein and never be a party to their evasion. III.

findings and purposes Sec. 2. (a) The Congress finds that— (1) the supply of nonrenewable fuels in the United States is slowly being depleted; (2) alternative sources of energy must be developed; (3) ocean thermal energy is a renewable energy resource that can make a significant contribution to the energy needs of the United States; (4) the technology base for ocean thermal energy conversion has improved over the past two years, and has consequently lowered the technical risk involved in constructing moderate-sized pilot plants with an electrical generating capacity of about ten to forty megawatts; (5) while the Federal ocean thermal energy conversion program has grown in size and scope over the past several years, it is in the national interest to accelerate efforts to commercialize ocean thermal energy conversion by building pilot and demonstration facilities and to begin planning for the commercial demonstration of ocean thermal energy conversion technology; (6) a strong and innovative domestic industry committed to the commercialization of ocean thermal energy conversion must be established, and many competent domestic industrial groups are already involved in ocean thermal energy conversion research and development activity; and (7) consistent with the findings of the Domestic Policy Review on Solar Energy, ocean thermal energy conversion energy can potentially contribute at least one-tenth of quad of energy per year by the year 2000. (b) Therefore, the purpose of this Act is to accelerate ocean thermal energy conversion technology development to provide a technical base for meeting the following goals: (1) demonstration by 1986 of at least one hundred megawatts of electrical capacity or energy product equivalent from ocean thermal energy conversion systems; (2) demonstration by 1989 of at least five hundred megawatts of electrical capacity or energy product equivalent from ocean thermal energy conversion systems; (3) achievement in the mid-1990’s, for the gulf coast region of the continental United States and for islands in the United94 STAT. 942 States, its possessions and its territories, an average cost of electricity or energy product equivalent produced by installed ocean thermal energy conversion systems that is competitive with conventional energy sources; and (4) establish as a national goal ten thousand megawatts of electrical capacity or energy product equivalent from ocean thermal energy conversion systems by the year 1999.
comprehensive program management plan Sec. 3.

If this subchapter or any part hereof is suspended by the President, prior to placing the suspended provision in operation, the President shall by regulation, in so far as practicable, adjust the grades of Reserve officers in the same manner as adjustments in grade are made for Regular officers.
Ҥ723. Effect of this subchapter on retirement and retired pay

14 USC 723.

Post, p. 1015.

 “Except as provided in subsection 746(b) of this title, nothing in this subchapter authorizes the retirement of a Reserve officer or the payment of retired, retainer, or severance pay to a Reserve officer; or affects in any manner the law relating to the retirement of, or the granting of retired or retainer pay or other benefits to a Reserve officer.
Ҥ724. Authorized number of officers

14 USC 724.

 “(a) The authorized number of officers in the Reserve in an active status is 5,000. The actual number of Reserve officers in an active status at any time shall not exceed the authorized number unless the94 STAT. 1008 Secretary determines that a greater number is necessary for planned mobilization requirements, or unless the excess results directly from the operation of law. “(b) The authorized number of Reserve officers in an active status below the grade of rear admiral shall be distributed in grade in the following percentages, respectively: captain, 1.5; commander, 7.0; lieutenant commander, 22.0; lieutenant, 37.0; and in the combined grades of lieutenant (junior grade) and ensign, 32.5. When the actual number of Reserve officers in an active status in a grade is less than the number authorized, the difference may be applied to increase the authorized number in a lower grade. A Reserve officer may not be reduced in rank or grade solely because of a reduction in an authorized number as provided for in this subsection, or because an excess results directly from the operation of law. The authorized number of Reserve officers in an active status not on active duty in the grade of rear admiral is two.
Ҥ725.

14 USC 725.

 Precedence “(a) Reserve officers rank and take precedence in their respective grades among themselves and with officers of the same grade on the active duty promotion list and the permanent commissioned teaching staff in accordance with their dates of rank. When Reserve officers and officers on the active duty promotion list or the permanent commissioned teaching staff have the same date of rank in a grade, they take precedence as determined by the Secretary. “(b) Notwithstanding any other law, a Reserve officer shall not lose precedence when transferred to or from the active duty promotion list, nor shall that officer’s date of rank be changed due to the transfer. “(c) A Reserve officer shall, when on the active duty promotion list, be promoted in the same manner as any other officer on the active duty promotion list regardless of the length of active duty service of the Reserve officer.
Ҥ726.

14 USC 726.

 Running mates “(a) The Secretary shall assign a running mate to each Reserve officer in an active status not on the active duty promotion list. The officer initially assigned as a running mate under this section shall be that officer on the active duty promotion list of the same grade who is next senior in precedence to the Reserve officer concerned. An officer who has twice failed of selection or who has been considered but has

14 USC 289.

 not been recommended for continuation under section 289 of this title shall not be assigned as a running mate under this section. “(b) A Reserve officer in an active status not on the active duty promotion list shall be assigned a new running mate as follows: “(1) If a previously assigned running mate is promoted from below the promotion zone, is removed from the active duty promotion list, suffers a loss of numbers, fails of selection, fails to qualify for promotion, or declines an appointment after being selected for promotion, the new running mate shall be that officer on the active duty promotion list, of the same grade, who is next senior to the previous running mate and who is, or may become, eligible for consideration for promotion. If the previous running mate was on a list of selectees for promotion, the new running mate shall be that officer on the active duty promotion list, of the same grade, who is on a list of selectees for promotion and who is next senior to the previous running mate. 94 STAT. 1009 “(2) If a Reserve officer suffers a loss of numbers, the new running mate shall be that officer on the active duty promotion list who, after the loss of numbers has been effected, is the running mate of the Reserve officer next senior to the Reserve officer concerned. “(3) If a Reserve officer is considered for promotion and fails of selection, fails to qualify for promotion, declines an appointment after being selected for promotion, or has his or her name removed from a list of selectees for promotion, and that officer’s running mate is promoted, the new running mate shall be that officer on the active duty promotion list, of the same grade, who, at the time the previous running mate was considered for promotion, was next senior to the previous running mate, was eligible for consideration for promotion, and whose name was not included on a list of selectees for promotion. “(4) In a situation not expressly covered by this subsection, the Secretary may assign a new running mate as necessary to effect the intent of this section that inequitable changes of precedence do not occur. “(c) A Reserve officer on the active duty promotion list shall, to the extent practicable and consistent with the limitations imposed by this section, be assigned as the running mate of all Reserve officers junior to the officer, who are in an active status not on the active duty promotion list, and who had a running mate in common with the officer just prior to the time the officer was placed on the active duty promotion list. “(d) The Secretary may adjust, as necessary, the date of rank of a Reserve officer not on active duty so that the date will correspond with that of the running mate assigned to the officer in accordance with this section. If an overpayment of pay or allowances results from adjusting the date of rank, the overpayment is not subject to recoupment.
Ҥ727. Constructive credit upon initial appointment

14 USC 727.

 “Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, a person, appointed as a Reserve officer, may be assigned a date of rank and precedence which reflects that person’s experience, education, or other qualifications. For the purpose of this subchapter only, a person appointed for the purpose of assignment or designation as a law specialist in the Reserve shall be credited with a minimum of three years service in an active status. A person holding a doctor of philosophy, or a comparable degree, in medicine or in a science allied to medicine as determined by the Secretary, may be credited with a minimum of three years service in an active status if appointed for an assignment comparable to that of an officer in the Navy Medical Department.
Ҥ728. Promotion of Reserve officers on active duty

14 USC 728.

 “(a) A Reserve officer on active duty, other than for training, duty on a board, or duty of a limited or temporary nature if assigned to active duty from an inactive duty status, shall not be eligible for consideration for promotion under this subchapter; but shall be considered for promotion under chapter 11 of this title. If promoted

14 USC 211 et seq.

 while serving on active duty the officer shall be considered as having been promoted under this subchapter and shall be an extra number in the grade to which promoted for the purpose of grade distribution as prescribed in this subchapter. Upon release from active duty the94 STAT. 1010 officer shall be included in the grade distribution authorized by this subchapter. “(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a Reserve officer who has been selected for promotion to the next higher grade under this subchapter at the time the officer reports for active duty, shall be

14 USC 211 et seq.

 promoted to that grade under chapter 11 of this title. “(c) A Reserve officer who, at the time the officer is released from active duty, has been selected for promotion to the next higher grade under chapter 11 of this title, shall be promoted to that grade as though selected under this subchapter. “(d) A failure of selection for promotion to the next higher grade occurring under this subchapter or under chapter 11 of this title shall count for all purposes.
Ҥ729.

14 USC 729.

 Promotion; recommendations of selection boards “(a) Except as otherwise provided by law, a Reserve officer shall only be promoted pursuant to the recommendation of a selection board. “(b) The Secretary shall convene selection boards from time to time to recommend Reserve officers for promotion to the next higher grade. A board may be convened to consider officers in one or more grades. “(c) A selection board shall, from among the names of those eligible Reserve officers submitted to it, recommend for promotion to the next higher grade: “(1) those officers serving in the grade of lieutenant (junior grade) or above whom it considers to be best qualified; and “(2) those officers serving in the grade of ensign whom it considers to be fully qualified. “(d) Before convening a selection board to recommend Reserve officers for promotion to a grade above lieutenant (junior grade), the Secretary shall determine the total number of Reserve officers to be selected for promotion to that grade. The number to be selected shall normally be equal to the number of vacancies existing in that grade, plus the number of vacancies anticipated over the next twelve months, minus the number of officers on the list of selectees for that grade. The Secretary may, however, prescribe regulations that provide for the establishment of promotion opportunity percentages for each grade to ensure that equitable promotion opportunities exist among successive groups of Reserve officers being considered for promotion. The number so determined may not cause the number of Reserve officers in an active status in a grade to exceed that authorized for the grade concerned. “(e) The law and regulations relating to the selection for promotion of a commissioned officer of the Regular Coast Guard to the grade of rear admiral apply to a Reserve officer, except that to be eligible for consideration an officer shall have completed at least ten years commissioned service, of which the last five years shall have been served in the Coast Guard Reserve. “(f)

Review.

 The report of a selection board shall be submitted to the Secretary for review and transmission to the President for approval. When an officer recommended by a board for promotion is not acceptable to the President, the President may remove the name of that officer from the report of the board. 94 STAT. 1011 “(h) The recommendations of a selection board, as approved by the

No officer may serve on two consecutive selection boards for the same grade when the second of those boards considers an officer who was considered, but not recommended for promotion, by the first selection board. “(c) Each member of a selection board shall swear that he will, without prejudice or partiality, and having in view both the special fitness required of officers and the efficiency of the Coast Guard, perform the duties imposed upon him. Not less than a majority of the total membership of a selection board shall concur in each recommendation made by the board. “(d) An officer eligible for consideration for promotion by a selection

Ҥ732. Eligibility for promotion

14 USC 732.

 Qualifications for promotion “(a) A Reserve officer shall not be promoted to a higher grade unless the officer has been found to be physically qualified and the character of the officer’s service subsequent to the convening of the selection board which recommended the officer for promotion has been verified as satisfactory. “(b) Subsection (a) of this section does not exclude from promotion a Reserve officer physically disqualified by a medical board for duty at sea or in the field, if the disqualification results from wounds received in the line of duty, and those wounds do not incapacitate the officer for other duties in the grade to which the officer is to be promoted.
Ҥ735.

 Promotion; acceptance; oath of office “(a) A Reserve officer who has been appointed under this subchapter is considered to have accepted the appointment unless delivery thereof cannot be effected. “(b) A Reserve officer who has served continuously since taking the oath of office prescribed in section 3331 of title 5, is not required to take a new oath of office upon appointment in a higher grade.

Ante, p. 1010.

 “(b) If the Senate, where required, does not consent to the appointment of an officer whose name is on a list of selectees established under section 729 of this title, that officer’s name shall be removed from the list. “(c) An officer whose name is removed from a list of selectees under subsection (a) or (b) continues to be eligible for consideration for promotion. If selected for promotion by the next selection board and promoted, that officer shall be assigned the date of rank and precedence that would have been assigned if the officer’s name had not been previously removed. However, if the officer is not selected by the next selection board, or if the officer’s name is again removed from the list of selectees, the officer shall be considered for all purposes as having twice failed of selection for promotion.
Ҥ739. Failure of selection for promotion

14 USC 739.

 “(a) A Reserve officer, other than one serving in the grade of captain, who is, or is senior to, the junior officer in the promotion zone established for the officer’s grade, fails of selection if not selected for Eromotion by the selection board that considered the officer, or if having been selected for promotion by the board, the officer’s name is thereafter removed from the report of the board by the President. “(b) A Reserve officer is not considered to have failed of selection if the officer was not considered by a selection board because of administrative error. If that officer is selected by the next appropriate selection board after the error is discovered, and is promoted, the same date of rank and precedence shall be assigned that would have been assigned if the officer had been recommended for promotion by the selection board that originally would have considered the officer but for the error.

42 USC 9201 note.

cited as the “Wind Energy Systems Act of 1980”.
findings and purpose Sec. 2. (a) The Congress finds that—

42 USC 9201.

 (1) the United States is faced with a finite and diminishing resource base of native fossil fuels and, as a consequence, must develop as quickly as possible a diversified, pluralistic national energy capability and posture; (2) the current imbalance between supply and demand for fuels and energy in the United States is likely to grow for many years; (3) it is in the Nation’s interest to provide opportunities for the increased production of electricity from renewable energy sources; (4) the early wide-spread utilization of wind energy for the generation of electricity and for mechanical power could lead to relief on the demand for existing non-renewable fuel and energy supplies; (5) the use of large wind energy systems for certain limited applications is already economically feasible; (6) the use of small wind energy systems for certain applications is already economically feasible, and therefore, the Federal Government should not undertake any financial incentive or financial initiative which may detrimentally affect commercial markets for small wind energy systems; (7) an aggressive research, development and demonstration program to accelerate widespread utilization of wind energy should solve existing technical problems of converting wind energy into electricity and mechanical energy and, supported by an assured and growing market for wind energy systems during the next decade, should maximize the future contribution of wind energy to the Nation’s future energy production; (8) it is the proper and appropriate role of the Federal Government to undertake research and development, to participate in demonstration programs for wind energy systems, and to assist private industry, other entities, and the general public in hastening the widespread utilization of such systems; (9) the widespread use of wind energy systems to supplement and replace conventional methods for the generation of electricity and mechanical power would have a beneficial effect upon the environment; 94 STAT. 1140 (10) the evaluation of the performance and reliability of wind energy technologies can be expedited by the testing of prototypes under carefully controlled conditions; (11) innovation and creativity in the development of components and systems for converting wind energy into electricity and mechanical energy can be fostered through encouraging direct contact between the manufacturers of such components and systems and utilities and other persons interested in utilizing such components and systems; and (12) consistent with the findings of the Domestic Policy Review on Solar Energy, wind energy can potentially contribute 1.7 quads of energy per year by the year 2000. (b) It is declared to be the policy of the United States and the purpose of this Act to establish during the next eight years an aggressive research, development, demonstration, and technology applications program for converting wind energy into electricity and mechanical energy. It is declared to be the further policy of the United States and the purpose of this Act that the objectives of such program are— (1) to reduce the average cost of electricity produced by installed wind energy systems, by the end of fiscal year 1988, to a level competitive with conventional energy sources; (2) to reach a total megawatt capacity in the United States from wind energy systems, by the end of fiscal year 1988, of at least eight hundred megawatts, of which at least one hundred megawatts are provided by small wind energy systems; and (3) to accelerate the growth of a commercially viable and competitive industry to make wind energy systems available to the general public as an option in order to reduce national consumption of fossil fuel.

[H.J. Res. 594]

 Whereas Constantino Brumidi, born in Rome, Italy, on July 26, 1805, landed at New York Harbor on September 18, 1852, as a political exile, making his flight from Italy to the United States because of his love for liberty; and Whereas Brumidi’s love for his adopted country led him to seek citizenship two years after his arrival; and Whereas the artist’s love for liberty joined his love for art and his love of country as he spent the last twenty-five years of his life embellishing the United States Capitol, including the corridors of the Senate wing, the formal offices of the President and the Vice President, the Senate reception room, the present House and Senate Appropriations Committee rooms, and the rotunda; and Whereas in 1877, at the age of seventy-two, Brumidi began his last work, the fresco frieze encircling the top of the rotunda, and fell from a slipped scaffolding three years later while attempting to complete part of the work, and though not injured, suffered a shock so great that he was never able to return to work; and Whereas Brumidi died as a result of this experience three months later in February 1880; and Whereas the Congress recognizes the artist’s devotion and talent which earned him the nickname of the “Michelangelo of the Capitol of the United States”; and Whereas the year 1980 marks the one hundred and seventy-fifth anniversary of the birth, and the one hundredth anniversary of the death of Constantino Brumidi: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the President

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

5 USC 601 note.
That this Act may be cited as the “Regulatory Flexibility Act”.
findings and purposes Sec. 2. (a)

5 USC 601 note.

The Congress finds and declares that— (1) when adopting regulations to protect the health, safety and economic welfare of the Nation, Federal agencies should seek to achieve statutory goals as effectively and efficiently as possible without imposing unnecessary burdens on the public; (2) laws and regulations designed for application to large scale entities have been applied uniformly to small businesses, small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions even though the problems that gave rise to government action may not have been caused by those smaller entities; (3) uniform Federal regulatory and reporting requirements have in numerous instances imposed unnecessary and disproportionately burdensome demands including legal, accounting and consulting costs upon small businesses, small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions with limited resources; (4) the failure to recognize differences in the scale and resources of regulated entities has in numerous instances adversely affected competition in the marketplace, discouraged innovation and restricted improvements in productivity; (5) unnecessary regulations create entry barriers in many industries and discourage potential entrepreneurs from introducing beneficial products and processes; (6) the practice of treating all regulated businesses, organizations, and governmental jurisdictions as equivalent may lead to inefficient use of regulatory agency resources, enforcement problems, and, in some cases, to actions inconsistent with the legislative intent of health, safety, environmental and economic welfare legislation; (7) alternative regulatory approaches which do not conflict with the stated objectives of applicable statutes may be available which minimize the significant economic impact of rules on small businesses, small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions; (8) the process by which Federal regulations are developed and adopted should be reformed to require agencies to solicit the ideas and comments of small businesses, small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions to examine the impact of proposed and existing rules on such entities, and to review the continued need for existing rules. 94 STAT. 1165 (b) It is the purpose of this Act to establish as a principle of regulatory issuance that agencies shall endeavor, consistent with the objectives of the rule and of applicable statutes, to fit regulatory and informational requirements to the scale of the businesses, organizations, and governmental jurisdictions subject to regulation. To achieve this principle, agencies are required to solicit and consider flexible regulatory proposals and to explain the rationale for their actions to assure that such proposals are given serious consideration.

National Aquaculture Act of 1980.

16 USC 2801 note.
That this Act may be cited as the “National Aquaculture Act of 1980”.
findings, purpose, and policy Sec. 2. (a)

16 USC 2801.

Findings.—Congress finds the following: (1) The harvest of certain species of fish and shellfish exceeds levels of optimum sustainable yield, thereby making it more difficult to meet the increasing demand for aquatic food. (2) To satisfy the domestic market for aquatic food, the United States imports more than 50 per centum of its fish and shellfish, but this dependence on imports adversely affects the national balance of payments and contributes to the uncertainty of supplies. (3) Although aquaculture currently contributes approximately 10 per centum of world seafood production, less than 3 per centum of current United States seafood production results from aquaculture. Domestic aquacultural production, therefore, has the potential for significant growth. (4) Aquacultural production of aquatic plants can provide sources of food, industrial materials, pharmaceuticals, and energy, and can assist in the control and abatement of pollution. (5) The rehabilitation and enhancement of fish and shellfish resources are desirable applications of aquacultural technology. (6) The principal responsibility for the development of aquaculture in the United States must rest with the private sector. (7) Despite its potential, the development of aquaculture in the United States has been inhibited by many economic, legal, and production factors, such as inadequate credit, diffused legal jurisdiction, the lack of management information, and the lack of reliable supplies of seed stock. (8) Many areas of the United States are suitable for aquaculture, but are subject to land-use or water-use management policies that do not adequately consider the potential for aquaculture and may inhibit the development of aquaculture. (b) Purpose.—It is the purpose of this Act to promote aquaculture in the United States by— (1) declaring a national aquaculture policy: (2) establishing and implementing a national aquaculture development plan; and (3) encouraging aquaculture activities and programs in both the public and private sectors of the economy; that will result in increased aquacultural production, the coordination of domestic aquaculture efforts, the conservation and enhance-94 STAT. 1199ment of aquatic resources, the creation of new industries and job opportunities, and other national benefits. (c) Policy.—Congress declares that aquaculture has the potential for augmenting existing commercial and recreational fisheries and for producing other renewable resources, thereby assisting the United States in meeting its future food needs and contributing to the solution of world resource problems. It is, therefore, in the national interest, and it is the national policy, to encourage the development of aquaculture in the United States.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF POLICY.

29 USC 1001a.

 (a) The Congress finds that— (1) multiemployer pension plans have a substantial impact on interstate commerce and are affected with a national public interest; (2) multiemployer pension plans have accounted for a substantial portion of the increase in private pension plan coverage over the past three decades; (3) the continued well-being and security of millions of employees, retirees, and their dependents are directly affected by multiemployer pension plans; and (4)(A) withdrawals of contributing employers from a multiemployer pension plan frequently result in substantially increased funding obligations for employers who continue to contribute to the plan, adversely affecting the plan, its participants and beneficiaries, and labor-management relations, and (B) in a declining industry, the incidence of employer withdrawals is higher and the adverse effects described in subparagraph (A) are exacerbated. (b) The Congress further finds that— (1) it is desirable to modify the current multiemployer plan termination insurance provisions in order to increase the likelihood of protecting plan participants against benefit losses; and (2) it is desirable to replace the termination insurance program for multiemployer pension plans with an insolvency-based benefit protection program that will enhance the financial soundness of such plans, place primary emphasis on plan continuation, and contain program costs within reasonable limits. (c) It is hereby declared to be the policy of this Act— (1) to foster and facilitate interstate commerce, (2) to alleviate certain problems which tend to discourage the maintenance and growth of multiemployer pension plans, 94 STAT. 1210 (3) to provide reasonable protection for the interests of participants and beneficiaries of financially distressed multiemployer pension plans, and (4) to provide a financially self-sufficient program for the guarantee of employee benefits under multiemployer plans.

[H.R. 3292]

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980.

16 USC 2901 note.

16 USC 2901.
That this Act may be cited as the “Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980”.
SEC. 2. DECLARATION OF FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. (a) Findings.— The Congress finds and declares the following: (1) Fish and wildlife are of ecological, educational, esthetic, cultural, recreational, economic, and scientific value to the Nation. (2) The improved conservation and management of fish and wildlife, particularly nongame fish and wildlife, will assist in restoring and maintaining fish and wildlife and in assuring a productive and more esthetically pleasing environment for all citizens. (3) Many citizens, particularly those residing in urban areas, have insufficient opportunity to participate in recreational and other programs designed to foster human interaction with fish and wildlife and thereby are unable to have a greater appreciation and awareness of the environment. (4) Historically, fish and wildlife conservation programs have been focused on the more recreationally and commercially important species within any particular ecosystem. As a consequence such programs have been largely financed by hunting and fishing license revenues or excise taxes on certain hunting and fishing equipment. These traditional financing mechanisms are neither adequate nor fully appropriate to meet the conservation needs of nongame fish and wildlife. (5) Each State should be encouraged to develop, revise, and implement, in consultation with appropriate Federal, State, and local and regional agencies, a plan for the conservation of fish and wildlife, particularly those species which are indigenous to the State. (b) Purpose.— It is the purpose of this Act— (1) to provide financial and technical assistance to the States for the development, revision, and implementation of conservation plans and programs for nongame fish and wildlife; and (2) to encourage all Federal departments and agencies to utilize their statutory and administrative authority, to the maximum extent practicable and consistent with each agency’s statutory responsibilities, to conserve and to promote conservation of nongame fish and wildlife and their habitats, in furtherance of the provisions of this Act.
94 STAT. 1323
SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

16 USC 2902.

 As used in this Act— (1) The term “approved conservation plan” means the conservation plan of a State approved by the Secretary pursuant to section 5(a) of this Act. (2) The term “conservation plan” means a plan developed by a State for the conservation of fish and wildlife which meets the requirements set forth in section 4. (3) The terms “conserve”, “conserving”, and “conservation” mean to use, and the use of, such methods and procedures which are necessary to ensure, to the maximum extent practicable, the well being and enhancement of fish and wildlife and their habitats for the ecological, educational, esthetic, cultural, recreational, and scientific enrichment of the public. Such methods and procedures may include, but are not limited to, any activity associated with scientific resources management, such as research, census, law enforcement, habitat acquisition, maintenance, development, information, education, population manipulation, propagation, technical assistance to private land-owners, live trapping, and transplantation. (4) The term “designated State agency” means the commission, department, division, or other agency of a State which has primary legal authority for the conservation of fish and wildlife. If any State has placed such authority in more than one agency, such term means each such agency acting with respect to its assigned responsibilities but such agencies, for purposes of this Act, shall submit a single conservation plan. (5) The term “fish and wildlife” means wild vertebrate animals that are in an unconfined state, including, but not limited to, nongame fish and wildlife. (6) The term “nongame fish and wildlife” means wild vertebrate animals that are in an unconfined state and that— (A) are not ordinarily taken for sport, fur, or food, except that if under applicable State law, any of such animals may be taken for sport, fur, or food in some, but not all, areas of the State, any of such animals within any area of the State in which such taking is not permitted may be deemed to be nongame fish and wildlife; (B) are not listed as endangered species or threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531–1543); and (C) are not marine mammals within the meaning of section 3(5) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1362(5)). Such term does not include any domesticated species that has reverted to a feral existence. (7) The term “Secretary” means the Secretary of the Interior. (8) The term “State” means any of the several States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, Guam, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
SEC. 4. CONSERVATION PLANS.

16 USC 2903.

 The conservation plan for any State must— (1) provide for the vesting in the designated State agency of the overall responsibility for the development and revision of the conservation plan; 94 STAT. 1324 (2) provide for an inventory of the nongame fish and wildlife, and such other fish and wildlife as the designated State agency deems appropriate, that are within the State and are valued for ecological, educational, esthetic, cultural, recreational, economic, or scientific benefits by the public; (3) with respect to those species identified under paragraph (2) (hereinafter in this section referred to as “plan species”), provide (A) the determination of the size, range, and distribution of their populations, and (B) the identification of the extent, condition, and location of their significant habitats; (4) identify the significant problems which may adversely affect the plan species and their significant habitats; (5) determine those actions which should be taken to conserve the plan species and their significant habitats; (6) establish priorities for implementing the conservation actions determined under paragraph (5); (7) provide for the monitoring, on a regular basis, of the plan species and the effectiveness of the conservation actions determined under paragraph (5); (8) provide for plan review and revision, if appropriate, at intervals of not more than 3 years; (9)

Public views.

 ensure that the public be given opportunity to make its views known and considered during the development, revision, and implementation of the plan; and (10)

Consultation.

 provide that the designated State agency consult, as appropriate, with Federal agencies, and other State agencies during the development, revision, and implementation of the plan, in order to minimize duplication of efforts and to ensure that the best information is available to all such agencies.
SEC. 5.

16 USC 2904.

 APPROVAL OF CONSERVATION PLANS AND CERTAIN NONGAME FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION ACTIONS. (a) Approval by Secretary of Plans.— (1) Any State may apply to the Secretary for approval of a conservation plan. (2)

Regulations.

 Applications for the approval of conservation plans shall be made and reviewed by the Secretary in such manner as the Secretary shall by regulation prescribe. (3) As soon as practicable, but not later than 180 days, after the date on which a State submits (or resubmits in the case of prior disapproval) an application for the approval of a conservation plan the Secretary shall— (A) approve the conservation plan, and designate it as an approved conservation plan, if he determines that the plan— (i) meets the requirements set forth in section 4, and (ii) is substantial in character and design; or (B) disapprove the conservation plan if he determines that— (i) the plan does not meet the requirements set forth in section 4, or (ii) to implement any part of the plan on the basis of the specifications, determinations, identifications, or priorities therein would threaten the natural stability and continued viability of any of the plan species concerned.

Written disapproval statement.

If the Secretary disapproves a plan, he shall give the State concerned a written statement of the reasons for disapproval and provide the State opportunity for consultation with respect to deficiencies in the plan and the modifications required for approval. (b) Effect of Approval of Plans.— If the Secretary approves the conservation plan of any State under subsection (a)— 94 STAT. 1325 (1) that portion of such plan that pertains to wildlife conservation shall be deemed to be an approved plan for purposes of section 6(a)(1) of the Act of September 2, 1937 (16 U.S.C. 669e(a)(D), commonly referred to as the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act; and (2) that portion of such plan that pertains to fish conservation shall be deemed to be an approved plan for the purposes of section 6(a)(1) of the Act of August 9, 1950 (16 U.S.C. 777c(a)(1)),

16 USC 777e.

 commonly referred to as the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act. (c) Conservation Actions.— If the Secretary approves the conservation plan of any State under subsection (a), those conservation actions set forth in the plan which pertain to nongame fish and wildlife shall be deemed to be eligible as nongame fish and wildlife projects for which reimbursement is available under section 6. (d) Nongame Conservation Actions in the Absence of an Approved Plan.— In the absence of an approved conservation plan, and on a showing of need by the State, the Secretary may deem certain conservation actions to be nongame fish and wildlife projects for which reimbursement is available under section 6(a)(3) if they— (1) are consistent with such of the requirements set forth in section 4 as may be appropriate, including, but not limited to, the requirements in paragraphs (3), (4), (5), and (7) of such section; and (2) are substantial in character and design.

[H.R. 6308]

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That this Act may be

Magnetic Fusion Energy Engineering Act of 1980.

42 USC 9301 note.

42 USC 9301.

 cited as the “Magnetic Fusion Energy Engineering Act of 1980”.
findings and policy Sec. 2. (a) The Congress hereby finds that— (1) the United States must formulate an energy policy designed to meet an impending worldwide shortage of many exhaustible, conventional energy resources in the next few decades; (2) the energy policy of the United States must be designed to ensure that energy technologies using essentially inexhaustible resources are commercially available at a time prior to serious depletion of conventional resources; (3) fusion energy is one of the few known energy sources which are essentially inexhaustible, and thus constitutes a long-term energy option; (4) major progress in all aspects of magnetic fusion energy technology during the past decade instills confidence that power production from fusion energy systems is achievable; (5) the United States must aggressively pursue research and development programs in magnetic fusion designed to foster advanced concepts and advanced technology and to develop efficient, reliable components and subsystems; (6) to ensure the timely commercialization of magnetic fusion energy systems, the United States must demonstrate at an early date the engineering feasibility of magnetic fusion energy systems; (7) progress in magnetic fusion energy systems is currently limited by the funds made available rather than technical barriers; (8) it is a proper role for the Federal Government to accelerate research, development, and demonstration programs in magnetic fusion energy technologies; and (9) acceleration of the current magnetic fusion program will require a doubling within seven years of the present funding level without consideration of inflation and a 25 per centum increase in funding each of fiscal years 1982 and 1983. (b) It is therefore declared to be the policy of the United States and the purpose of this Act to accelerate the national effort in research, development, and demonstration activities related to magnetic fusion energy systems. Further, it is declared to be the policy of the United States and the purpose of this Act that the objectives of such program shall be— 94 STAT. 1540 (1) to promote an orderly transition from the current research and development program through commercial development; (2) to establish a national goal of demonstrating the engineering feasibility of magnetic fusion by the early 1990’s; (3) to achieve at the earliest practicable time, but not later than the year 1990, operation of a magnetic fusion engineering device based on the best available confinement concept; (4) to establish as a national goal the operation of a magnetic fusion demonstration plant at the turn of the twenty-first century; (5) to foster cooperation in magnetic fusion research and development among government, universities, industry, and national laboratories; (6) to promote the broad participation of domestic industry in the national magnetic fusion program; (7) to continue international cooperation in magnetic fusion research for the benefit of all nations; (8) to promote greater public understanding of magnetic fusion; and (9) to maintain the United States as the world leader in magnetic fusion.
definitions Sec. 3.

42 USC 9302.

 For the purposes of this Act— (1) “fusion” means a process whereby two light nuclei, such as deuterium and tritium, collide at high velocity, forming a compound nucleus, which subsequently separates into constituents which are different from the original colliding nuclei, and which carry away the accompanying energy release; (2) “magnetic fusion” means the use of magnetic fields to confine a very hot, fully ionized gas of light nuclei, so that the fusion process can occur; (3) “energy system” means a facility designed to utilize energy released in the magnetic fusion process for the generation of electricity and the production of hydrogen or other fuels; (4) “fusion engineering device” means a magnetic fusion facility which achieves at least a burning plasma and serves to test components for engineering purposes; (5) “demonstration plant” means a prototype energy system which is of sufficient size to provide safety, environmental reliability, availability, and ready engineering extrapolation of all components to commercial size but which system need not be economically competitive with then alternative energy sources; and (6) “Secretary” means Secretary of Energy.
program activities Sec. 4.

42 USC 9303.

 (a) The Secretary shall initiate activities or accelerate existing activities in research areas in which the lack of knowledge limits magnetic fusion energy systems in order to ensure the achievement of the purposes of this Act. (b)

42 USC 9401.

 (1) despite the significant progress that has been made in making community mental health services available and in improving residential mental health facilities since the original community mental health centers legislation was enacted in 1963, unserved and underserved populations remain and there are certain groups in the population, such as chronically mentally ill individuals, children and youth, elderly individuals, racial and ethnic minorities, women, poor persons, and persons in rural areas, which often lack access to adequate private and public mental health services and support services; (2) the process of transferring or diverting chronically mentally ill individuals from unwarranted or inappropriate institu-94 STAT. 1566tionalized settings to their home communities has frequently not been accompanied by a process of providing those individuals with the mental health and support services they need in community-based settings; (3) the shift in emphasis from institutional care to community-based care has not always been accompanied by a process of affording training, retraining, and job placement for employees affected by institutional closure and conversion; (4) the delivery of mental health and support services is typically uncoordinated within and among local, State, and Federal entities; (5) mentally ill persons are often inadequately served by (A) programs of the Department of Health and Human Services such as medicare, medicaid, supplemental security income, and social services, and (B) programs of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Labor, and other Federal agencies; (6) health care systems often lack general health care personnel with adequate mental health care training and often lack mental health care personnel and consequently many individuals with some level of mental disorder do not receive appropriate mental health care; (7) present knowledge of methods to prevent mental illness through discovery and elimination of its causes and through early detection and treatment is too limited; (8) a comprehensive and coordinated array of appropriate private and public mental health and support services for all people in need within specific geographic areas, based upon a cooperative local-State-Federal partnership, remains the most effective and humane way to provide a majority of mentally ill individuals with mental health care and needed support; and (9) because of the rising demand for mental health services and the wide disparity in the distribution of psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, social workers, and psychiatric nurses, there is a shortage in the medical specialty of psychiatry and there are also shortages among the other health personnel who provide mental health services.

An Act Relating to certain leases involving the Secretary of the Interior and the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation.

Oct. 09, 1980

[S. 2126]

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the Congress

Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, leases.

 finds that— (1) certain mineral leases and prospecting permits entered into between the Northern Cheyenne Tribal Council and private parties in 1969, 1970, and 1971, presently encumber approximately 56 per centum of the lands within the boundaries of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation; (2) due to the likelihood of permanent and large-scale physical and social disruption of their tribal community that would result from development under such leases and permits, the Northern Cheyenne Indian Tribe has been and continues to be opposed to any development under these leases and permits; (3) although such leases and permits were approved by representatives of the Secretary of the Interior, there are serious questions whether such approval is lawful and consistent with the trust responsibility of the Secretary of the Interior to “act in the best interests” of Indian tribes and individuals; (4) the present impasse with regard to such leases and permits, unless resolved, can only result in expensive and time-consuming litigation that does not hold out the likelihood of a satisfactory solution that would be fair to all parties; and (5) cancellation of such leases and permits, and providing a fair remedy to any party or parties whose property interest, invested in good faith, would be adversely affected by such cancellation, appears to be the most direct and effective manner within which to resolve this impasse.
Sec. 2. For the purpose of entering into a cancellation agreement

Cancellation agreement negotiations.

 under section 3 of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter referred to as the “Secretary”) is authorized and directed to negotiate with the Northern Cheyenne Tribe and each party holding a lease, permit, or right to a lease issued under the provisions of the Act of May 11, 1938 (52 Stat. 347; 25 U.S.C. 396a), as follows: 94 STAT. 1702

 consideration for coal leasing: Provided, That such cancellation agreement shall also provide that if, after further consideration, the Secretary determines that all or any part of such deposits or lands are not acceptable for coal leasing, such party shall be issued a certificate of bidding rights that may be used to acquire Federal coal leases at competitive sales. Such bidding rights shall have a value equal to the amount of the actual cash investment, plus interest on such investment compounded at a rate not to exceed 7 per centum per annum, made by the party involved in connection with the lease, permit, or right to a lease to be canceled under such cancellation agreement, multiplied by the percentage of the otherwise recoverable tonnage of any coal deposits for which the party does not, by reason of such determination by the Secretary, receive a lease under this subsection; or, (2) a certificate of bidding rights that may be used to acquire Federal coal leases at competitive sales. Such bidding rights shall have a value equal to the amount of the actual cash investment, plus interest on such investment compounded at a rate not to exceed 7 per centum per annum, made by the party involved in connection with the lease, permit, or right to a lease to be canceled under such cancellation agreement. 94 STAT. 1703 (b) A determination by the Secretary under subsection (a)(1) of this

 amount equal to so much of the investment and interest on such investment, compounded at a rate not to exceed 7 per centum per annum, made by the party involved in connection with the lease, permit, or right to a lease, to be canceled under this section as the Secretary may consider appropriate. (d) Any lease issued under subsection (a)(1) of this section shall, except as provided in this Act, be issued under, and be subject to the provisions of the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq ), and the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977(30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

[H.R. 7919]

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Maine Indian Claims.

Settlement Act of 1980.

25 USC 1721 note.
That this Act may be cited as the “Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act of 1980”.
congressional findings and declaration of policy Sec. 2.
(a) Congress hereby finds and declares that: (1) The Passamaquoddy Tribe, the Penobscot Nation, and the

25 USC 1721.

 Maliseet Tribe are asserting claims for possession of lands within the State of Maine and for damages on the ground that the lands in question were originally transferred in violation of law, including, but without limitation, the Trade and Intercourse Act of 1790 (1 Stat. 137), or subsequent reenactments or versions thereof. (2) The Indians, Indian nations, and tribes and bands of Indians, other than the Passamaquoddy Tribe, the Penobscot Nation, and the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, that once may have held aboriginal title to lands within the State of Maine long ago abandoned their aboriginal holdings. (3) The Penobscot Nation, as represented as of the time of passage of this Act by the Penobscot Nation’s Governor and Council, is the sole successor in interest to the aboriginal entity generally known as the Penobscot Nation which years ago claimed aboriginal title to certain lands in the State of Maine. (4) The Passamaquoddy Tribe, as represented as of the time of passage of this Act by the Joint Tribal Council of the Passamaquoddy Tribe, is the sole successor in interest to the aboriginal entity generally known as the Passamaquoddy Tribe which years ago claimed aboriginal title to certain lands in the State of Maine. (5) The Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, as represented as of the time of passage of this Act by the Houlton Band Council, is the sole successor in interest, as to lands within the United States, to the aboriginal entity generally known as the Maliseet Tribe which years ago claimed aboriginal title to certain lands in the State of Maine. (6) Substantial economic and social hardship to a large number of landowners, citizens, and communities in the State of Maine, and therefore to the economy of the State of Maine as a whole, will result if the aforementioned claims are not resolved promptly. (7) This Act represents a good faith effort on the part of Congress to provide the Passamaquoddy Tribe, the Penobscot Nation, and the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians with a fair and94 STAT. 1786 just settlement of their land claims. In the absence of congressional action, these land claims would be pursued through the courts, a process which in all likelihood would consume many years and thereby promote hostility and uncertainty in the State of Maine to the ultimate detriment of the Passamaquoddy Tribe, the Penobscot Nation, the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, their members, and all other citizens of the State of Maine. (8) The State of Maine, with the agreement of the Passamaquoddy Tribe and the Penobscot Nation, has enacted legislation defining the relationship between the Passamaquoddy Tribe, the Penobscot Nation, and their members, and the State of Maine. (9) Since 1820, the State of Maine has provided special services to the Indians residing within its borders, including the members of the Passamaquoddy Tribe, the Penobscot Nation, and the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians. During this same period, the United States provided few special services to the respective tribe, nation, or band, and repeatedly denied that it had jurisdiction over or responsibility for the said tribe, nation, and band. In view of this provision of special services by the State of Maine, requiring substantial expenditures by the State of Maine and made by the State of Maine without being required to do so by Federal law, it is the intent of Congress that the State of Maine not be required further to contribute directly to this claims settlement.
(b) It is the purpose of this Act— (1) to remove the cloud on the titles to land in the State of Maine resulting from Indian claims; (2) to clarify the status of other land and natural resources in the State of Maine; (3) to ratify the Maine Implementing Act, which defines the relationship between the State of Maine and the Passamaquoddy Tribe, and the Penobscot Nation, and (4) to confirm that all other Indians, Indian nations and tribes and bands of Indians now or hereafter existing or recognized in the State of Maine are and shall be subject to all laws of the State of Maine, as provided herein.

49 USC 10101a note.

The Congress hereby finds that— (1) historically, railroads were the essential factor in the national transportation system; (2) the enactment of the Interstate Commerce Act was essential to prevent an abuse of monopoly power by railroads and to establish and maintain a national railroad network; (3) today, most transportation within the United States is competitive; (4) many of the Government regulations affecting railroads have become unnecessary and inefficient; (5) nearly two-thirds of the Nation’s intercity freight is transported by modes of transportation other than railroads; (6) earnings by the railroad industry are the lowest of any transportation mode and are insufficient to generate funds for necessary capital improvements; (7) by 1985, there will be a capital shortfall within the railroad industry of between $16,000,000,000 and $20,000,000,000; (8) failure to achieve increased earnings within the railroad industry will result in either further deterioration of the rail system or the necessity for additional Federal subsidy; and (9) modernization of economic regulation for the railroad industry with a greater reliance on the marketplace is essential94 STAT. 1897 in order to achieve maximum utilization of railroads to save energy and combat inflation.
goals Sec. 3. The purpose of this Act is to provide for the restoration,

 maintenance, and improvement of the physical facilities and financial stability of the rail system of the United States. In order to achieve this purpose, it is hereby declared that the goals of this Act are— (1) to assist the railroads of the Nation in rehabilitating the rail system in order to meet the demands of interstate commerce and the national defense; (2) to reform Federal regulatory policy so as to preserve a safe, adequate, economical, efficient, and financially stable rail system; (3) to assist the rail system to remain viable in the private sector of the economy; (4) to provide a regulatory process that balances the needs of carriers, shippers, and the public; and (5) to assist in the rehabilitation and financing of the rail system.

declaration of policy Sec. 2. (a) The Congress hereby finds— (1) that a safe, stable, and financially sound system of transportation of household goods by motor common carriers is vital to the maintenance of a strong national economy and a strong national defense; (2) that the best means of assuring such a system is through competition and reduced regulation; (3) that maximum flexibility on the part of the carriers in the pricing of their services best serves the shippers of household goods and allows a variety of quality and price options to meet market demands; and (4) that the interest of individual shippers can be best protected by allowing carriers of household goods maximum flexibility in serving the needs of their shippers, by providing accurate and complete information concerning carriers’ performance and individual shippers’ rights and remedies, by reducing the amount of unnecessary regulations, and by strengthening remedies for violations of those regulations that are necessary for protection of individual shippers. (b) The appropriate authorizing committees of Congress shall

title), establish a rate for the transportation of household goods which is based on the carrier’s written, binding estimate of charges for providing such transportation. “(2) Any rate established under this subsection must be available on a nonpreferential basis to shippers and must not result in charges to shippers which are predatory. “(b) (1) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of this subsection, a motor common carrier providing transportation of household goods subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission under subchapter II of chapter 105 of this title may, subject to the provisions of this chapter (including the general tariff requirements of section 10762 of this title), establish rates for the transportation of household goods which guarantee that the carrier will pick up and deliver such household goods at the times specified in the contract for such services and 94 STAT. 2013provide a penalty or per diem payment in the event the carrier fails to pick up or deliver such household goods at the specified time. The charges, if any, for such guarantee and penalty provision may vary to reflect one or more options available to meet a particular shipper’s needs but must be contained in the tariff the carrier publishes for such service under this title. “(2) Before a carrier may establish a rate for any service under paragraph (1) of this subsection, the Commission may require such carrier to have in effect and keep in effect, during any period such rate is in effect under such paragraph, a rate for such service which does not guarantee the pick up and delivery of household goods at the times specified in the contract for such services and which does not provide a penalty or per diem payment in the event the carrier fails to pick up or deliver household goods at the specified time.”.

of household goods may be approved under this section unless the program is a fair and expeditious method for settling such disputes and complies with each of the following requirements and such regulations as the Commission may issue: “(1) The program is designed to prevent a carrier from having any special advantage in any case in which the claimant resides or does business at a place distant from the carrier’s principal or other place of business. “(2) The program provides for adequate notice of the availability of such program, including a concise easy-to-read, accurate summary of the program and disclosure of the legal effects of election to utilize the program. Such notice must be given to persons for whom household goods are to be transported by the carrier before such goods are tendered to the carrier for transportation. “(3) Upon request of a shipper, the carrier must promptly provide such forms and other information as are necessary for initiating an action under the program to resolve a dispute. “(4) Each person, authorized pursuant to the program to arbitrate or otherwise settle disputes, must be independent of the parties to the dispute and must be capable, as determined under such regulations as the Commission may issue, to resolve such disputes fairly and expeditiously. The program must ensure that each person chosen to settle the disputes is authorized and able to obtain from the shipper or carrier any material and relevant information to the extent necessary to carry out a fair and expeditious decision making process. “(5) No fee for instituting a proceeding under the program may be charged the shipper; except that, if the program is binding solely on the carrier, the shipper may be charged a fee of not more than $25 for instituting a proceeding under the program. In any case in which a shipper is charged a fee under this paragraph for instituting a proceeding under the program and such dispute is settled in favor of the shipper, the person settling the dispute must refund such fee to the shipper unless the person settling the dispute determines that such refund is inappropriate. “(6) The program must not require the shipper to agree to utilize the dispute settlement program prior to the time that a dispute arises. 94 STAT. 2018 “(7) The program may provide for an oral presentation of a dispute concerning transportation of household goods by a party to the dispute (or a party’s representative), but such oral presentation may be made only if all parties to the dispute expressly agree to such presentation and the date, time, and location of such presentation. “(8) Any person settling a dispute concerning transportation of household goods under the program must, as expeditiously as possible but at least within 60 days of receipt of written notification of the dispute, render a decision based on the information gathered, except that, in any case in which a party to the dispute fails to provide in a timely manner any information concerning such dispute which the person settling the dispute may reasonably require to resolve the dispute, the dispute settler may extend such 60-day period for a reasonable period of time. A decision resolving a dispute may include any remedies appropriate under the circumstances, including repair, replacement, refund, reimbursement for expenses, and compensation for damages. “(c) Materials and information obtained in the course of a decision-making process to settle a dispute under a dispute settlement program approved under this section may not be used to bring an

Classified Information Procedures Act.
definitions Section 1. (a) “Classified information”, as used in this Act, means any information or material that has been determined by the United States Government pursuant to an Executive order, statute, or regulation, to require protection against unauthorized disclosure for reasons of national security and any restricted data, as defined in paragraph r. of section 11 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2014(y)). (b) “National security”, as used in this Act, means

pretrial conference Sec. 2. At any time after the filing of the indictment or information,

18 USC app.

any party may move for a pretrial conference to consider matters relating to classified information that may arise in connection with the prosecution. Following such motion, or on its own motion, the court shall promptly hold a pretrial conference to establish the timing of requests for discovery, the provision of notice required by section 5 of this Act, and the initiation of the procedure established by section 6 of this Act. In addition, at the pretrial conference the court may consider any matters which relate to classified information or which may promote a fair and expeditious trial. No admission made by the defendant or by any attorney for the defendant at such a conference may be used against the defendant unless the admission is in writing and is signed by the defendant and by the attorney for the defendant.
protective orders Sec. 3. Upon motion of the United States, the court shall issue an

18 USC app.

order to protect against the disclosure of any classified information disclosed by the United States to any defendant in any criminal case in a district court of the United States.
discovery of classified information by defendants Sec. 4. The court, upon a sufficient showing, may authorize the

18 USC app.

 United States to delete specified items of classified information from documents to be made available to the defendant through discovery under the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, to substitute a

18 USC app.

summary of the information for such classified documents, or to substitute a statement admitting relevant facts that the classified 94 STAT. 2026information would tend to prove. The court may permit the United States to make a request for such authorization in the form of a written statement to be inspected by the court alone. If the court enters an order granting relief following such an ex parte showing, the entire text of the statement of the United States shall be sealed and preserved in the records of the court to be made available to the appellate court in the event of an appeal.
notice of defendant’s intention to disclose classified information Sec. 5.

18 USC app.

 (a) Notice by Defendant.— If a defendant reasonably expects to disclose or to cause the disclosure of classified information in any manner in connection with any trial or pretrial proceeding involving the criminal prosecution of such defendant, the defendant shall, within the time specified by the court or, where no time is specified, within thirty days prior to trial, notify the attorney for the United States and the court in writing. Such notice shall include a brief description of the classified information. Whenever a defendant learns of additional classified information he reasonably expects to disclose at any such proceeding, he shall notify the attorney for the United States and the court in writing as soon as possible thereafter and shall include a brief description of the classified information. No defendant shall disclose any information known or believed to be classified in connection with a trial or pretrial proceeding until notice has been given under this subsection and until the United States has been afforded a reasonable opportunity to seek a determination pursuant to the procedure set forth in section 6 of this Act, and until the time for the United States to appeal such determination under section 7 has expired or any appeal under section 7 by the United States is decided. (b) Failure to Comply.— If the defendant fails to comply with the requirements of subsection (a) the court may preclude disclosure of any classified information not made the subject of notification and may prohibit the examination by the defendant of any witness with respect to any such information.

Information use, relevance, or admissibility.

18 USC app.

 (a) Motion for Hearing.— Within the time specified by the court for the filing of a motion under this section, the United States may request the court to conduct a hearing to make all determinations concerning the use, relevance, or admissibility of classified information that would otherwise be made during the trial or pretrial proceeding. Upon such a request, the court shall conduct such a hearing. Any hearing held pursuant to this subsection (or any portion of such hearing specified in the request of the Attorney General) shall be held in camera if the Attorney General certifies to the court in such petition that a public proceeding may result in the disclosure of classified information. As to each item of classified information, the court shall set forth in writing the basis for its determination. Where the United States’ motion under this subsection is filed prior to the trial or pretrial proceeding, the court shall rule prior to the commencement of the relevant proceeding. (b)

Information at issue, identification.

 Notice.— (1) Before any hearing is conducted pursuant to a request by the United States under subsection (a), the United States shall provide the defendant with notice of the classified information that is at issue. Such notice shall identify the specific classified 94 STAT. 2027information at issue whenever that information previously has been made available to the defendant by the United States. When the United States has not previously made the information available to the defendant in connection with the case, the information may be described by generic category, in such form as the court may approve, rather than by identification of the specific information of concern to the United States. (2) Whenever the United States requests a hearing under subsection (a), the court, upon request of the defendant, may order the United States to provide the defendant, prior to trial, such details as to the portion of the indictment or information at issue in the hearing as are needed to give the defendant fair notice to prepare for the hearing. (c) Alternative Procedure for Disclosure of Classified Information.— (1) Upon any determination by the court authorizing the disclosure of specific classified information under the procedures established by this section, the United States may move that, in lieu of the disclosure of such specific classified information, the court order— (A) the substitution for such classified information of a statement admitting relevant facts that the specific classified information would tend to prove; or (B) the substitution for such classified information of a summary of the specific classified information. The court shall grant such a motion of the United States if it finds that the statement or summary will provide the defendant with substantially the same ability to make his defense as would disclosure of the specific classified information. The court shall hold a hearing

Hearing.

on any motion under this section. Any such hearing shall be held in camera at the request of the Attorney General. (2) The United States may, in connection with a motion under

National security damage, certification.

paragraph (1), submit to the court an affidavit of the Attorney General certifying that disclosure of classified information would cause identifiable damage to the national security of the United States and explaining the basis for the classification of such information. If so requested by the United States, the court shall examine such affidavit in camera and ex parte. (d) Sealing of Records of In Camera Hearings.— If at the close of an in camera hearing under this Act (or any portion of a hearing under this Act that is held in camera) the court determines that the classified information at issue may not be disclosed or elicited at the trial or pretrial proceeding, the record of such in camera hearing shall be sealed and preserved by the court for use in the event of an appeal. The defendant may seek reconsideration of the court’s determination prior to or during trial. (e) Prohibition on Disclosure of Classified Information by Defendant, Relief for Defendant When United States Opposes Disclosure.— (1) Whenever the court denies a motion by the United States that it issue an order under subsection (c) and the United States files with the court an affidavit of the Attorney General objecting to disclosure of the classified information at issue, the court shall order that the defendant not disclose or cause the disclosure of such information. (2) Whenever a defendant is prevented by an order under paragraph

Indictment or information, dismissal.

(1) from disclosing or causing the disclosure of classified information, the court shall dismiss the indictment or information; except that, when the court determines that the interests of justice would not be served by dismissal of the indictment or information, 94 STAT. 2028the court shall order such other action, in lieu of dismissing the indictment or information, as the court determines is appropriate. Such action may include, but need not be limited to— (A) dismissing specified counts of the indictment or information; (B) finding against the United States on any issue as to which the excluded classified information relates; or (C) striking or precluding all or part of the testimony of a witness.

Appeal.

An order under this paragraph shall not take effect until the court has afforded the United States an opportunity to appeal such order under section 7, and thereafter to withdraw its objection to the disclosure of the classified information at issue. (f)

Rebuttal information, disclosure.

 Reciprocity.— Whenever the court determines pursuant to subsection (a) that classified information may be disclosed in connection with a trial or pretrial proceeding, the court shall, unless the interests of fairness do not so require, order the United States to provide the defendant with the information it expects to use to rebut the classified information. The court may place the United States under a continuing duty to disclose such rebuttal information. If the United States fails to comply with its obligation under this subsection, the court may exclude any evidence not made the subject of a required disclosure and may prohibit the examination by the United States of any witness with respect to such information.
interlocutory appeal Sec. 7.

18 USC app.

 (a) An interlocutory appeal by the United States taken before or after the defendant has been placed in jeopardy shall lie to a court of appeals from a decision or order of a district court in a criminal case authorizing the disclosure of classified information, imposing sanctions for nondisclosure of classified information, or refusing a protective order sought by the United States to prevent the disclosure of classified information. (b) An appeal taken pursuant to this section either before or during trial shall be expedited by the court of appeals. Prior to trial, an appeal shall be taken within ten days after the decision or order appealed from and the trial shall not commence until the appeal is resolved. If an appeal is taken during trial, the trial court shall adjourn the trial until the appeal is resolved and the court of appeals (1) shall hear argument on such appeal within four days of the adjournment of the trial, (2) may dispense with written briefs other than the supporting materials previously submitted to the trial court, (3) shall render its decision within four days of argument on appeal, and (4) may dispense with the issuance of a written opinion in rendering its decision. Such appeal and decision shall not affect the right of the defendant, in a subsequent appeal from a judgment of conviction, to claim as error reversal by the trial court on remand of a ruling appealed from during trial.
introduction of classified information Sec. 8.

18 USC app.

 (a) Classification Status.— Writings, recordings, and photographs containing classified information may be admitted into evidence without change in their classification status. (b) Precautions by Court.— The court, in order to prevent unnecessary disclosure of classified information involved in any criminal proceeding, may order admission into evidence of only part of a 94 STAT. 2029writing, recording, or photograph, or may order admission into evidence of the whole writing, recording, or photograph with excision of some or all of the classified information contained therein, unless the whole ought in fairness be considered. (c) Taking of Testimony.—During the examination of a witness in any criminal proceeding, the United States may object to any question or line of inquiry that may require the witness to disclose classified information not previously found to be admissible. Following such an objection, the court shall take such suitable action to determine whether the response is admissible as will safeguard against the compromise of any classified information. Such action may include requiring the United States to provide the court with a proffer of the witness’ response to the question or line of inquiry and requiring the defendant to provide the court with a proffer of the nature of the information he seeks to elicit.
security procedures Sec. 9. (a) Within one hundred and twenty days of the

Rules.

18 USC app.

date of the enactment of this Act, the Chief Justice of the United States, in consultation with the Attorney General, the Director of Central Intelligence, and the Secretary of Defense, shall prescribe rules establishing procedures for the protection against unauthorized disclosure of any classified information in the custody of the United States district courts, courts of appeal, or Supreme Court. Such rules, and any changes in such rules,

Submittal to congressional committees.

 shall be submitted to the appropriate committees of Congress and shall become effective forty-five days after such submission. (b) Until such time as rules under subsection (a) first become effective, the Federal courts shall in each case involving classified information adopt procedures to protect against the unauthorized disclosure of such information.

(3) (A) When a committee has reported a concurrent resolution, it shall be at any time thereafter in order (even though a previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed to) to move to proceed to the consideration of the concurrent resolution. The motion shall be highly privileged in the House of Representatives, and shall not be debatable. An amendment to such motion shall not be in order, and it shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion was agreed to or disagreed to. (B) Debate in the House of Representatives on the concurrent resolution shall be limited to not more than ten hours which shall be divided equally between those favoring and those opposing such concurrent resolution and a motion further to limit debate shall not be debatable. In the House of Representatives, an amendment to, or motion to recommit, the concurrent resolution shall not be in order, and it shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which such concurrent resolution was agreed to or disagreed to. (4) Appeals from the decision of the Chair relating to the application of the rules of the House of Representatives to the procedure relating to a concurrent resolution shall be decided without debate. (5) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, if a House has approved a concurrent resolution with respect to any final rule of the Secretary, then it shall not be in order to consider in such House any other concurrent resolution with respect to the same final rule. (c) (1) If a final rule of the Secretary is disapproved by the Congress under subsection (a)(2), then the Secretary may promulgate a final rule which relates to the same acts or practices as the final rule disapproved by the Congress in accordance with this subsection. Such final rule— (A) shall be based upon— (i) the rulemaking record of the final rule disapproved by the Congress; or (ii) such rulemaking record and the record established in supplemental rulemaking proceedings conducted by the Secretary in accordance with section 553 of title 5, United States Code, in any case in which the Secretary determines that it is necessary to supplement the existing rulemaking record; and 94 STAT. 2069 (B) may contain such changes as the Secretary considers necessary or appropriate. (2) The Secretary after promulgating a final rule under this subsection, shall submit the final rule to the Congress in accordance with subsection (a)(1). (d) Congressional inaction on, or rejection of a concurrent resolution of disapproval under this section shall not be construed as an expression of approval of the final rule involved, and shall not be construed to create any presumption of validity with respect to such final rule. (e) (1) Any interested party may institute such actions in the

Supreme Court review.

matter certified under paragraph (1) shall be reviewable by appeal directly to the Supreme Court of the United States. Such appeal shall be brought not later than twenty days after the decision of the court of appeals. (3) It shall be the duty of the court of appeals and of the Supreme Court of the United States to advance on the docket and to expedite to the greatest possible extent the disposition of any matter certified under paragraph (1).

 “(a) (1) During fiscal years 1982 through 1985, the Administrator may, under contracts with public or nonprofit private agencies or organizations, or through facilities of the Department of Medicine and Surgery, which possess a demonstrated capability to conduct programs of independent living services for severely handicapped persons, provide, under regulations which the Administrator shall prescribe, programs of independent living services and assistance under this chapter, in various geographic regions of the United States, to veterans described in paragraph (2) of this subsection. “(2) A program of independent living services and assistance may be made available under this section only to a veteran who has a service-connected disability described in section 1502(1)(A) of this title and with respect to whom it is determined under section 1506(d) of this title that the achievement of a vocational goal is not reasonably feasible and who is selected pursuant to criteria provided for in regulations prescribed under paragraph (1) of this subsection. “(3) The Administrator shall, to the maximum extent feasible, include among those veterans who are provided with programs of independent living services and assistance under this section substantial numbers of veterans described in paragraph (2) of this subsection who are receiving long-term care in Veterans’ Administration hospitals and nursing homes and in nursing homes with which the Administrator contracts for the provision of care to veterans. “(4) A program of independent living services and assistance for a veteran shall consist of such services described in section 1504 (a) and (b) of this title as the Administrator determines necessary to enable such veteran to achieve maximum independence in daily living. Such veteran shall have the same rights with respect to an individualized written plan of services and assistance as are afforded veterans under section 1507 of this title. “(5) Any contract for services initiated with respect to any veteran under this section before the end of fiscal year 1985 may be continued in effect after the end of such year for the purposes of providing services and assistance to such veteran in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. “(6) Programs of independent living services and assistance shall be initiated for no more than five hundred veterans in each of the fiscal years 1982 through 1985, and the first priority in the provision of such programs shall be afforded to veterans for whom the reasonable feasibility of achieving a vocational goal is precluded solely as a result of a service-connected disability. “(b) Not later than September 30, 1984, the Administrator shall

An Act To regulate the feeding of garbage to swine.

Oct. 17, 1980

[H.R. 6593]

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That this Act may be cited as the “Swine Health Protection Act”.

Swine Health Protection Act.

7 USC 3801 note.
findings Sec. 2. The Congress hereby finds and declares that—

7 USC 3801.

 (1) raw garbage is one of the primary media through which numerous infectious or communicable diseases of swine are transmitted; (2) if certain exotic animal diseases, such as foot-and-mouth disease, African swine fever, hog cholera, and swine vesicular diseases, gain entrance into the United States, such diseases may be spread through the medium of raw or improperly treated garbage which is fed to swine; (3) African swine fever, which is potentially the most dangerous and destructive of all communicable swine diseases, has been confirmed in several countries of the Western Hemisphere, including the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Cuba; (4) swine in the United States have no resistance to any of such exotic diseases and in the case of African swine fever there is a particular danger because there are no effective vaccines to this deadly disease; (5) all articles and animals which are regulated under this Act are either in interstate or foreign commerce or substantially affect such commerce, and regulation by the Secretary and cooperation by the States and other jurisdictions as contemplated by this Act are necessary to prevent and eliminate burdens upon such commerce, to effectively regulate such commerce, and to protect the health and welfare of the people of the United States; (6) the interstate and foreign commerce in swine and swine products and producers and consumers of pork products could be severely injured economically if any exotic animal diseases, particularly African swine fever, enter this country; (7) it is impossible to assure that all garbage fed to swine is properly treated to kill disease organisms unless such treatment is closely regulated; (8) therefore, in order to protect the commerce of the United States and the health and welfare of the people of this country, it is necessary to regulate the treatment of garbage to be fed to swine and the feeding thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Act.
definitions Sec. 3. For purposes of this Act—

7 USC 3802.

 (1) the term “Secretary” means the Secretary of Agriculture; 94 STAT. 2230 (2) the term “garbage” means all waste material derived in whole or in part from the meat of any animal (including fish and poultry) or other animal material, and other refuse of any character whatsoever that has been associated with any such material, resulting from the handling, preparation, cooking, or consumption of food, except that such term shall not include waste from ordinary household operations which is fed directly to swine on the same premises where such household is located; and (3) the term “person” means any individual, corporation, company, association, firm, partnership, society, or joint stock company or other legal entity.
prohibition of certain garbage feeding Sec. 4.

7 USC 3803.

 Garbage may be fed to swine only if treated to kill disease organisms, in accordance with regulations issued by the Secretary, at a facility holding a valid permit issued by the Secretary, or the chief agricultural or animal health official of the State where located if such State has entered into an agreement with the Secretary pursuant to section 9 or has primary enforcement responsibility pursuant to section 10 of this Act. No person shall operate a facility for the treatment of garbage knowing it is to be fed to swine unless such

No permit shall be issued unless the facility— (1) meets such requirements as the Secretary shall prescribe to prevent the introduction or dissemination of any infectious or communicable disease of animals or poultry, and (2) is so constructed that swine are unable to have access to untreated garbage of such facility or material coming in contact with such untreated garbage. (b)

Cease and desist orders.

 Whenever the Secretary finds, after notice and opportunity for a hearing on the record in accordance with sections 554 and 556 of title 5, United States Code, that any person holding a permit to operate a facility to treat garbage in any State is violating or has violated this Act or any regulation of the Secretary issued hereunder, the Secretary may issue an order requiring such person to cease and desist from continuing such violations or an order suspending or revoking

Judicial review of any such order shall be upon the record upon which the determination and order are based. (c) If any person fails to pay a civil penalty under a final order of the

cited as the “Rattlesnake National Recreation Area and Wilderness Act of 1980”.
statement of findings and policy Section 1. (a) The Congress finds that— (1) certain lands on the Lolo National Forest in Montana have high value for watershed, water storage, wildlife habitat, primitive recreation, historical, scientific, ecological, and educational purposes. This national forest area has long been used as a wilderness by Montanans and by people throughout the Nation who value it as a source of solitude, wildlife, clean, free-flowing waters stored and used for municipal purposes for over a century, and primitive recreation, to include such activities as hiking, camping, backpacking, hunting, fishing, horse riding, and bicycling; and (2) certain other lands on the Lolo National Forest, while not predominantly of wilderness quality, have high value for municipal watershed, recreation, wildlife habitat, and ecological and educational purposes. (b) Therefore, it is hereby declared to be the policy of Congress that, to further the purposes of the Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131) and the National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600), the people of the Nation and Montana would best be served by national recreation area designation of the Rattlesnake area to include the permanent preservation of certain of these lands under established statutory designation as wilderness, and to promote the watershed, recreational, wildlife, and educational values of the remainder of these lands.
designation and management of rattlesnake wilderness area Sec. 2. (a) In furtherance of the purposes of the Wilderness Act (78

Stat. 890; 16 U.S.C. 1131), certain lands within the Rattlesnake National Recreation Area as designated by this Act, which comprise approximately 33,000 acres as generally depicted as the “Rattlesnake Wilderness” on a map entitled “Rattlesnake National Recreation Area and Wilderness—Proposed”, and dated October 1, 1980, are hereby designated as wilderness and shall be known as the Rattlesnake Wilderness. (b) Subject to valid existing rights, the Rattlesnake Wilderness as designated by this Act shall be administered by the Secretary of Agriculture, hereafter referred to as the Secretary, in accordance with the provisions of the Wilderness Act governing areas designated 94 STAT. 2272by that Act as wilderness: Provided, That any reference in such

An area of land as generally depicted as the “Rattlesnake National Recreation Area” on a map entitled “Rattlesnake National Recreation Area and Wilderness—Proposed”, and dated October 1, 1980, is hereby established as the Rattlesnake National Recreation Area.
land acquisition and exchange Sec. 4.

16 USC 460ll–3.

 (a) Within the boundaries of the Rattlesnake National Recreation Area and Rattlesnake Wilderness, the Secretary is authorized and directed to acquire with donated or appropriated funds including amounts appropriated from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, by exchange, gift, or purchase, such non-Federal lands, interests, or any other property, in conformance with the provisions of this section. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to limit or diminish the existing authority of the Secretary to acquire lands and interests therein within or contiguous to the Rattlesnake National Recreation Area or Rattlesnake Wilderness. (b)(1) The Secretary of the Interior, in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, is authorized to consider and consummate an exchange with the owner of the private lands or interests therein within or contiguous to the boundaries of the Rattlesnake National Recreation Area and Rattlesnake Wilderness, as described in sections 2 and 3 of this Act, by which the Secretary of the Interior may accept conveyance of title to these private lands for the United States and in exchange issue bidding rights that may be exercised in competitive coal lease sales, or in coal lease modifications, or both, under sections 2 and 3 of the Mineral Lands Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 U.S.C. 201(a), 203). Any lands so acquired shall become national forest lands under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Agriculture to be managed in accordance with the provisions of this Act and other laws applicable to the management of national forest lands. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to limit or diminish any existing authority of the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture to acquire private lands and interests therein in the Rattlesnake National Recreation Area and Rattlesnake Wilderness. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require any owner of the lands within or contiguous to the Rattlesnake National Recreation Area or Rattlesnake Wilderness to accept coal lease bidding rights in exchange for title to those private lands. (2)

Coal lease bidding rights.

 The coal lease bidding rights to be issued may be exercised as payment of bonus or other payment required of the successful bidder for a competitive coal lease, or required of an applicant for a coal lease modification. The bidding rights shall equal the fair market value of the private lands or interests therein conveyed in exchange for their issuance. The use and exercise of the bidding rights shall be subject to the provisions of the Secretary of the Interior’s regulations governing coal lease bidding rights, to the extent that they are not inconsistent with this Act, that are in effect at the time the bidding rights are issued. 94 STAT. 2273 (3) If for any reason, including but not limited to the failure of the Secretary of the Interior to offer for lease lands in the Montana portion of the Powder River Coal Production Region as defined in the Federal Register of November 9, 1979 (44 FR 65196), or the failure of the holder of the bidding rights to submit a successful high bid for any such leases, any bidding rights issued in an exchange under this Act have not been exercised within three years from the date of enactment of this Act, the holder of the bidding rights may, at its election, use the outstanding bidding rights as a credit against any royalty, rental, or advance royalty payments owed to the United States on any Federal coal lease(s) it may then hold. (4) It is the intent of Congress that the exchange of bidding rights for the private lands or interests therein authorized by this Act shall occur within three years of the date of enactment of this Act. (5) In order to facilitate the exchange authorized by this Act, the Executive order captioned “Order of Withdrawal”, of June 6, 1929, creating “Coal Reserve No. 1, Montana, No. 1”, is hereby revoked to the extent that it constitutes a withdrawal of the lands therein from disposal under the Mineral Lands Leasing Act of 1920, as amended.

30 USC 181 note.

 (c) The exchange of lands involving Burlington Northern, Inc. shall be in accordance with the agreement entitled “Statement of Intent” entered into by Burlington Northern, Inc. and the Regional Forester of the United States Forest Service, Region 1, signed September 18, 1980, and it is the intent of Congress that this exchange shall occur within three years of the date of enactment of this Act.

Sec. 3. (a) This Act applies to—

Applicability.

33 USC 1902.

 (1) a ship of United States registry or nationality, or one operated under the authority of the United States, wherever located; 94 STAT. 2298 (2) a ship registered in or of the nationality of a country party to the MARPOL Protocol, or one operated under the authority of a country party to the MARPOL Protocol, while in the navigable waters of the United States; and (3) a ship registered in or of the nationality of a country not a party to the MARPOL Protocol, under subsection (c) of this section, while in the navigable waters of the United States. (b) This Act does not apply to— (1) a warship, naval auxiliary, or other ship owned or operated by the United States when engaged in noncommercial service; or (2) any other ship specifically excluded by the MARPOL Protocol. (c)

Regulations.

 The Secretary shall prescribe regulations applicable to the ships of a country not a party to the MARPOL Protocol to ensure that their treatment is not more favorable than that accorded ships of parties to the MARPOL Protocol. (d)

Noncommercial shipping standards.

 The heads of Federal departments and agencies shall prescribe standards applicable to ships excluded from this Act by subsection (b)(1) of this section and for which they are responsible. Standards prescribed under this subsection shall ensure, so far as is reasonable and practicable without impairing the operations or operational capabilities of such ships, that such ships act in a manner consistent with the MARPOL Protocol.
Sec. 4.

Administration and enforcement.

33 USC 1903.

 (a) Unless otherwise specified herein, the Secretary shall administer and enforce the MARPOL Protocol and this Act. In the administration and enforcement of the MARPOL Protocol and this Act, Annexes I and II of the MARPOL Protocol shall be applicable only to seagoing ships. (b)

Regulations.

 The Secretary shall prescribe any necessary or desired regulations to carry out the provisions of the MARPOL Protocol or this Act. (c) The Secretary may utilize by agreement, with or without reimbursement, personnel, facilities, or equipment of other Federal departments and agencies in administering the MARPOL Protocol, this Act, or the regulations thereunder.
Sec. 5.

Certificates.

33 USC 1904.

 (a) The Secretary shall designate those persons authorized to issue on behalf of the United States the certificates required by the MARPOL Protocol. A certificate required by the MARPOL Protocol shall not be issued to a ship which is registered in or of the nationality of a country which is not a party to the MARPOL Protocol. (b) A certificate issued by a country which is a party to the MARPOL Protocol has the same validity as a certificate issued by the Secretary under the authority of the MARPOL Protocol. (c) A ship required by the MARPOL Protocol to have a certificate— (1) shall carry a valid certificate onboard in the manner prescribed by the authority issuing the certificate; and (2) is subject to inspection while in a port or terminal under the jurisdiction of the United States. (d)

Onboard inspections.

 An inspection conducted under subsection (c)(2) of this section is limited to verifying whether or not a valid certificate is onboard, unless clear grounds exist which reasonably indicate that the condition of the ship or its equipment does not substantially agree with the particulars of its certificate. This section shall not limit the authority of any official or employee of the United States under any other treaty, law, or regulation to board and inspect a ship or its equipment. (e)

Penalties.

 In addition to the penalties prescribed in section 9 of the Act, a ship required by the MARPOL Protocol to have a certificate— (1) which does not have a valid certificate onboard; or 94 STAT. 2299 (2) whose condition or whose equipment’s condition does not substantially agree with the particulars of the certificate on-board; shall be detained by order of the Secretary at the port or terminal where the violation is discovered until, in the opinion of the Secretary, the ship can proceed to sea without presenting an unreasonable threat of harm to the marine environment. The detention order may authorize the ship to proceed to the nearest appropriate available shipyard rather than remaining at the place where the violation was discovered. (f) If a ship is under a detention order under this section, the Secretary of the Treasury, upon the request of the Secretary, may refuse or revoke— (1) the clearance required by section 4197 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, as amended (46 U.S.C. 91); or (2) a permit to proceed under section 4367 of the Revised Statutes of the United States (46 U.S.C. 313) or section 442 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1443).

19 USC 1442.

Detention order review.

 (g) A person whose ship is subject to a detention order under this section may petition the Secretary, in the manner prescribed by regulation, to review the detention order.

(b) In determining the adequacy of reception facilities required by the MARPOL Protocol at a port or terminal, the Secretary may consider, among other things, the number and types of seagoing ships using the port or terminal, including their principal trades. (c) If, upon inspection, reception facilities of a port or terminal are

Certificate issuance.

adequate to meet the requirements of the MARPOL Protocol and the regulations established hereunder, the Secretary shall, after consultation with the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, issue a certificate to that effect to the applicant. A certificate issued under this subsection— (1) is valid until suspended or revoked by the Secretary for cause or because of changed conditions; and (2) shall be available for inspection upon the request of the master, other person in charge, or agent of a seagoing ship using or intending to use the port or terminal. The suspension or revocation of a certificate issued under this subsection may be appealed to the Secretary and acted on by him in the manner prescribed by regulation. (d) The Secretary shall periodically cause to be published in the

Publication in Federal Register.

Federal Register a list of the ports or terminals holding a valid certificate issued under this section. (e) Except in the case of force majeure, the Secretary shall deny

entry to a seagoing ship required by the Convention to retain onboard 94 STAT. 2300while at sea, residues and mixtures containing oil or noxious liquid substances, if— (1) the port or terminal is one required by the MARPOL Protocol or regulations hereunder to nave adequate reception facilities; and (2) the port or terminal does not hold a valid certificate issued by the Secretary under this section. (f)

Survey.

 The Secretary is authorized to conduct surveys of existing reception facilities in the United States to determine measures needed to comply with the MARPOL Protocol.
Sec. 7.

 (a) As soon as he has knowledge of an incident, the master or other person in charge of a ship shall report it to the Secretary in the manner prescribed by Article 8 of the Convention. (b) Upon receipt of the report of an incident involving a ship, other than one of United States registry or nationality or one operated under the authority of the United States, the Secretary shall take the action required by Article 8 of the Convention.
Sec. 8.

Violations.

33 USC 1907.

 (a) It is unlawful to act in violation of the MARPOL Protocol, this Act, or the regulations issued thereunder. The Secretary shall cooperate with other parties to the MARPOL Protocol in the detection of violations and in enforcement of the MARPOL Protocol. The Secretary shall use all appropriate and practical measures of detection and environmental monitoring, and shall establish adequate procedures for reporting violations and accumulating evidence. (b)

Investigations.

 Upon receipt of evidence that a violation has occurred, the Secretary shall cause the matter to be investigated. In any investigation under this section the Secretary may issue subpenas to require the attendance of any witness and the production of documents and other evidence. In case of refusal to obey a subpena issued to any person, the Secretary may request the Attorney General to invoke the aid of the appropriate district court of the United States to compel compliance. Upon completion of the investigation, the Secretary shall take the action required by the MARPOL Protocol and whatever further action he considers appropriate under the circumstances. If the initial evidence was provided by a party to the MARPOL Protocol, the Secretary, acting through the Secretary of State, shall inform that party of the action taken or proposed. (c)

Ship inspections.

 While at a port or terminal subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, a ship to which the MARPOL Protocol applies may be inspected by the Secretary— (1) to verify whether or not the ship has discharged a harmful substance in violation of the MARPOL Protocol or this Act; or (2) to comply with a request from a party to the MARPOL Protocol for an investigation as to whether the ship may have discharged a harmful substance anywhere in violation of the MARPOL Protocol. An investigation may be undertaken under this clause only when the requesting party has furnished sufficient evidence to allow the Secretary reasonably to believe that a discharge has occurred. If an inspection under this subsection indicates that a violation has occurred, the investigating officer shall forward a report to the Secretary for appropriate action. If a report made under this subsection involves a ship, other than one of United States registry or nationality or one operated under the authority of the United States, the Secretary shall undertake to notify the master of the ship concerned and, acting in coordination with the Secretary of State, shall take any additional action required by Article 6 of the Convention. 94 STAT. 2301 (d) Remedies and requirements of this Act supplement and neither amend nor repeal any other provisions of law, except as expressly provided in this Act. Nothing in this Act shall limit, deny, amend, modify, or repeal any other remedy available to the United States or any other person, except as expressly provided in this Act.
Sec. 9. (a) A person who knowingly violates the MARPOL Protocol,

Violations and penalties.

33 USC 1908.

this Act, or the regulations issued thereunder shall, for each violation, be fined not more than $50,000 or be imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both. (b) A person who is found by the Secretary, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, to have— (1) violated the MARPOL Protocol, this Act, or the regulations issued thereunder shall be liable to the United States for a civil penalty, not to exceed $25,000 for each violation; or (2) made a false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation in any matter in which a statement or representation is required to be made to the Secretary under the MARPOL Protocol, this Act, or the regulations thereunder, shall be liable to the United States for a civil penalty, not to exceed $5,000 for each statement or representation. Each day of a continuing violation shall constitute a separate violation. The amount of the civil penalty shall be assessed by the Secretary, or his designee, by written notice. In determining the amount of the penalty, the Secretary shall take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the prohibited acts committed and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other matters as justice may require. (c) The Secretary may compromise, modify, or remit, with or without conditions, any civil penalty which is subject to assessment or which has been assessed under this section. If any person fails to pay an assessment of a civil penalty after it has become final, the Secretary may refer the matter to the Attorney General of the United States for collection in any appropriate district court of the United States. (d) A ship operated in violation of the MARPOL Protocol, this Act, or the regulations thereunder is liable in rem for any fine imposed under subsection (a) or civil penalty assessed pursuant to subsection (b), and may be proceeded against in the United States district court of any district in which the ship may be found. (e) If any ship subject to the MARPOL Protocol or this Act, its owner, operator, or person in charge is liable for a fine or civil penalty under this section, or if reasonable cause exists to believe that the ship, its owner, operator, or person in charge may be subject to a fine or civil penalty under this section, the Secretary of the Treasury, upon the request of the Secretary, shall refuse or revoke— (1) the clearance required by section 4197 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, as amended (46 U.S.C. 91); or (2) a permit to proceed under section 4367 of the Revised Statutes of the United States (46 U.S.C. 313) or section 443 of the Tariff Act 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1443). Clearance or a permit to proceed may be granted upon the filing of a bond or other surety satisfactory to the Secretary. (f) Notwithstanding subsection (a), (b), or (d) of this section, if the violation is by a ship registered in or of the nationality of a country party to the MARPOL Protocol, or one operated under the authority of a country party to the MARPOL Protocol, the Secretary, acting in coordination with the Secretary of State, may refer the matter to that 94 STAT. 2302country for appropriate action, rather than taking the actions required or authorized by this section.
Sec. 10.

33 USC 1909.

 (a) A proposed amendment to the MARPOL Protocol received by the United States from the Secretary-General of the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization pursuant to Article VI of the MARPOL Protocol, may be accepted on behalf of the United States by the President following the advice and consent of the Senate, except as provided for in subsection (b) of this section. (b) A proposed amendment to Annex I or II, appendices to the Annexes, or Protocol I of the MARPOL Protocol, received by the United States from the Secretary-General of the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization pursuant to Article VI of the MARPOL Protocol, may be the subject of appropriate action on behalf of the United States by the Secretary of State following consultation with the Secretary, who shall inform the Secretary of State as to what action he considers appropriate at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the period specified in Article VI of the MARPOL Protocol during which objection may be made to any amendment received. (c) Following consultation with the Secretary, the Secretary of State may make a declaration that the United States does not accept an amendment proposed pursuant to Article VI of the MARPOL Protocol.
Sec. 11.

33 USC 1910.

 (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, any person having an interest which is, or can be, adversely affected, may bring an action on his own behalf— (1) against any person alleged to be in violation of the provisions of this Act, or regulations issued hereunder; (2) against the Secretary where there is alleged a failure of the Secretary to perform any act or duty under this Act which is not discretionary with the Secretary; (3) against the Secretary of the Treasury where there is alleged a failure of the Secretary of the Treasury to take action under section 9(e) of this Act. (b) No action may be commenced under subsection (a) of this section— (1) prior to 60 days after the plaintiff has given notice, in writing and under oath, to the alleged violator, the Secretary concerned, and the Attorney General; or (2) if the Secretary has commenced enforcement or penalty action with respect to the alleged violation and is conducting such procedures diligently. (c) Any suit brought under this section shall be brought— (1) in a case concerning an onshore facility or port, in the United States district court for the judicial district where the onshore facility or port is located; (2) in a case concerning an offshore facility or offshore structure under the jurisdiction of the United States, in the United States district court for the judicial district nearest the offshore facility or offshore structure; (3) in a case concerning a ship, in the United States district court for any judicial district wherein the ship or its owner or operator may be found; or (4) in any case, in the District Court for the District of Columbia.

(e) In any action brought under this section, if the Secretary or Attorney General are not parties of record, the United States, through the Attorney General, shall have the right to intervene.
Sec. 12. On the effective date of this Act— (a) the Oil Pollution Act, 1961, as amended (75 Stat. 402; 33 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.) is repealed. Any criminal or civil penalty proceeding under that Act for a violation which occurred prior to the effective date of this Act may be initiated or continued to conclusion as though that Act had not been repealed; and (b) the Oil Pollution Act Amendments of 1973 (87 Stat. 428,

33 USC 1001 et seq.

30 USC 1601.

be cited as the “National Materials and Minerals Policy, Research and Development Act of 1980”.
findings Sec. 2. (a) The Congress finds that— (1) the availability of materials is essential for national security, economic well-being, and industrial production; (2) the availability of materials is affected by the stability of foreign sources of essential industrial materials, instability of materials markets, international competition and demand for materials, the need for energy and materials conservation, and the enhancement of environmental quality; (3) extraction, production, processing, use, recycling, and disposal of materials are closely linked with national concerns for energy and the environment; (4) the United States is strongly interdependent with other nations through international trade in materials and other products; (5) technological innovation and research and development are important factors which contribute to the availability and use of materials; (6) the United States lacks a coherent national materials policy and a coordinated program to assure the availability of materials critical for national economic well-being, national defense, and industrial production, including interstate commerce and foreign trade; and (7) notwithstanding the enactment of the Mining and Minerals Policy Act of 1970 (30 U.S.C. 21a), the United States does not have a coherent national materials and minerals policy. (b) As used in this Act, the term “materials” means substances,

“Materials.”

including minerals, of current or potential use that will be needed to supply the industrial, military, and essential civilian needs of the United States in the production of goods or services, including those which are primarily imported or for which there is a prospect of shortages or uncertain supply, or which present opportunities in terms of new physical properties, use, recycling, disposal or substitution, with the exclusion of food and of energy fuels used as such.

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That this Act may be

Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980.

15 USC 3701 note.

15 USC 3701.

cited as the “Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980”.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. The Congress finds and declares that: (1) Technology and industrial innovation are central to the economic, environmental, and social well-being of citizens of the United States. (2) Technology and industrial innovation offer an improved standard of living, increased public and private sector productivity, creation of new industries and employment opportunities, improved public services and enhanced competitiveness of United States products in world markets. (3) Many new discoveries and advances in science occur in universities and Federal laboratories, while the application of this new knowledge to commercial and useful public purposes depends largely upon actions by business and labor. Cooperation among academia, Federal laboratories, labor, and industry, in such forms as technology transfer, personnel exchange, joint research projects, and others, should be renewed, expanded, and strengthened. (4) Small businesses have performed an important role in advancing industrial and technological innovation. (5) Industrial and technological innovation in the United States may be lagging when compared to historical patterns and other industrialized nations. (6) Increased industrial and technological innovation would reduce trade deficits, stabilize the dollar, increase productivity gains, increase employment, and stabilize prices. (7) Government antitrust, economic, trade, patent, procurement, regulatory, research and development, and tax policies have significant impacts upon industrial innovation and development of technology, but there is insufficient knowledge of their effects in particular sectors of the economy. (8) No comprehensive national policy exists to enhance technological innovation for commercial and public purposes. There is a need for such a policy, including a strong national policy supporting domestic technology transfer and utilization of the science and technology resources of the Federal Government. (9) It is in the national interest to promote the adaptation of technological innovations to State and local government uses. Technological innovations can improve services, reduce their costs, and increase productivity in State and local governments. (10) The Federal laboratories and other performers of federally funded research and development frequently provide scientific 94 STAT. 2312and technological developments of potential use to State and local governments and private industry. These developments should be made accessible to those governments and industry. There is a need to provide means of access and to give adequate personnel and funding support to these means. (11) The Nation should give fuller recognition to individuals and companies which have made outstanding contributions to the promotion of technology or technological manpower for the improvement of the economic, environmental, or social well-being of the United States.

Priority shall be given: first, to conservation; second, to renewable resources; third, to generating resources utilizing waste heat or generating resources of high fuel conversion efficiency; and fourth, to all other resources. 94 STAT. 2706 (2) The plan shall set forth a general scheme for implementing conservation measures and developing resources pursuant to section 6 of this Act to reduce or meet the Administrator’s obligations with due consideration by the Council for (A) environmental quality, (B) compatibility with the existing regional power system, (C) protection, mitigation, and enhancement of fish and wildlife and related spawning grounds and habitat, including sufficient quantities and qualities of flows for successful migration, survival, and propagation of anadromous fish, and (D) other criteria which may be set forth in the plan. (3) To accomplish the priorities established by this subsection, the plan shall include the following elements which shall be set forth in such detail as the Council determines to be appropriate: (A) an energy conservation program to be implemented under this Act, including, but not limited to, model conservation standards; (B) recommendation for research and development; (C) a methodology for determining quantifiable environmental costs and benefits under section 3(4); (D) a demand forecast of at least twenty years (developed in consultation with the Administrator, the customers, the States, including State agencies with ratemaking authority over electric utilities, and the public, in such manner as the Council deems appropriate) and a forecast of power resources estimated by the Council to be required to meet the Administrator’s obligations and the portion of such obligations the Council determines can be met by resources in each of the priority categories referred to in paragraph (1) of this subsection which forecast (i) shall include regional reliability and reserve requirements, (ii) shall take into account the effect, if any, of the requirements of subsection (h) on the availability of resources to the Administrator, and (iii) shall include the approximate amounts of power the Council recommends should be acquired by the Administrator on a long-term basis and may include, to the extent practicable, an estimate of the types of resources from which such power should be acquired; (E) an analysis of reserve and reliability requirements and cost-effective methods of providing reserves designed to insure adequate electric power at the lowest probable cost; (F) the program adopted pursuant to subsection (h); and (G) if the Council recommends surcharges pursuant to subsection (f) of this section, a methodology for calculating such surcharges. (4)

Studies.

 The Council, taking into consideration the requirement that it devote its principal efforts to carrying out its responsibilities under subsections (d) and (h) of this section, shall undertake studies of conservation measures reasonably available to direct service industrial customers and other major consumers of electric power within the region and make an analysis of the estimated reduction in energy use which would result from the implementation of such measures as rapidly as possible, consistent with sound business practices. The Council shall consult with such customers and consumers in the conduct of such studies. (f)

Model conservation standards.

(1) Model conservation standards to be included in the plan shall include, but not be limited to, standards applicable to (A) new and existing structures, (B) utility, customer, and governmental conservation programs, and (C) other consumer actions for achieving conservation. Model conservation standards shall reflect geographic and climatic differences within the region and other appropriate considerations, and shall be designed to produce all power savings that are 94 STAT. 2707cost-effective for the region and economically feasible for consumers, taking into account financial assistance made available to consumers under section 6(a) of this Act. These model conservation standards shall be adopted by the Council and included in the plan after consultation, in such manner as the Council deems appropriate, with the Administrator, States, and political subdivisions, customers of the Administrator, and the public. (2) The Council by a majority vote of the members of the Council is

Surcharge.

authorized to recommend to the Administrator a surcharge and the Administrator may thereafter impose such a surcharge, in accordance with the methodology provided in the plan, on customers for those portions of their loads within the region that are within States or political subdivisions which have not, or on the Administrator’s customers which have not, implemented conservation measures that achieve energy savings which the Administrator determines are comparable to those which would be obtained under such standards. Such surcharges shall be established to recover such additional costs as the Administrator determines will be incurred because such Projected energy savings attributable to such conservation measures ave not been achieved, but in no case may such surcharges be less than 10 per centum or more than 50 per centum of the Administrator’s applicable rates for such load or portion thereof. (g)(1) To insure widespread public involvement in the formulation of regional power policies, the Council and Administrator shall maintain comprehensive programs to— (A) inform the Pacific Northwest public of major regional power issues, (B) obtain public views concerning major regional power issues, and (C) secure advice and consultation from the Administrator’s customers and others. (2) In carrying out the provisions of this section, the Council and the Administrator shall— (A) consult with the Administrator’s customers; (B) include the comments of such customers in the record of the Council’s proceedings; and (C) recognize and not abridge the authorities of State and local governments, electric utility systems, and other non-Federal entities responsible to the people of the Pacific Northwest for the planning, conservation, supply, distribution, and use of electric power and the operation of electric generating facilities. (3) In the preparation, adoption, and implementation of the plan, the Council and the Administrator shall encourage the cooperation, participation, and assistance of appropriate Federal agencies, State entities, State political subdivisions, and Indian tribes. The Council

Contracts.

and the Administrator are authorized to contract, in accordance with applicable law, with such agencies, entities, tribes, and subdivisions individually, in groups, or through associations thereof to (A) investigate possible measures to be included in the plan, (B) provide public involvement and information regarding a proposed plan or amendment thereto, and (C) provide services which will assist in the implementation of the plan. In order to assist in the implementation

Technical assistance.

of the plan, particularly conservation, renewable resource, and fish and wildlife activities, the Administrator, when requested and subject to available funds, may provide technical assistance in establishing conservation, renewable resource, and fish and wildlife objectives by individual States or subdivisions thereof or Indian tribes. Such objectives, if adopted by a State or subdivision thereof or Indian 94 STAT. 2708tribes, may be submitted to the Council and the Administrator for review, and upon approval by the Council, may be incorporated as part of the plan. (h)

Fish and wildlife protection program.

(1)(A) The Council shall promptly develop and adopt, pursuant to this subsection, a program to protect, mitigate, and enhance fish and wildlife, including related spawning grounds and habitat, on the Columbia River and its tributaries. Because of the unique history, problems, and opportunities presented by the development and operation of hydroelectric facilities on the Columbia River and its tributaries, the program, to the greatest extent possible, shall be designed to deal with that river and its tributaries as a system. (B) This subsection shall be applicable solely to fish and wildlife, including related spawning grounds and habitat, located on the Columbia River and its tributaries. Nothing in this subsection shall alter, modify, or affect in any way the laws applicable to rivers or river systems, including electric power facilities related thereto, other than the Columbia River and its tributaries, or affect the rights and obligations of any agency, entity, or person under such laws. (2) The Council shall request, in writing, promptly after the Council is established under either section 4(a) or 4(b) of this Act and prior to the development or review of the plan, or any major revision thereto, from the Federal, and the region’s State, fish and wildlife agencies and from the region’s appropriate Indian tribes, recommendations for— (A) measures which can be expected to be implemented by the Administrator, using authorities under this Act and other laws, and other Federal agencies to protect, mitigate, and enhance fish and wildlife, including related spawning grounds and habitat, affected by the development and operation of any hydroelectric project on the Columbia River and its tributaries; (B) establishing objectives for the development and operation of such projects on the Columbia River and its tributaries in a manner designed to protect, mitigate, and enhance fish and wildlife; and (C) fish and wildlife management coordination and research and development (including funding) which, among other things, will assist protection, mitigation, and enhancement of anadromous fish at, and between, the region’s hydroelectric dams. (3) Such agencies and tribes shall have 90 days to respond to such request, unless the Council extends the time for making such recommendations. The Federal, and the region’s, water management agencies, and the region’s electric power producing agencies, customers, and public may submit recommendations of the type referred to in paragraph (2) of this subsection. All recommendations shall be accompanied by detailed information and data in support of the recommendations. (4)(A) The Council shall give notice of all recommendations and shall make the recommendations and supporting documents available to the Administrator, to the Federal, and the region’s, State fish and wildlife agencies, to the appropriate Indian tribes, to Federal agencies responsible for managing, operating, or regulating hydroelectric facilities located on the Columbia River or its tributaries, and to any customer or other electric utility which owns or operates any such facility. Notice shall also be given to the public. Copies of such recommendations and supporting documents shall be made available for review at the offices of the Council and shall be available for reproduction at reasonable cost. 94 STAT. 2709 (B) The Council shall provide for public participation and comment

Written and oral comments.

regarding the recommendations and supporting documents, including an opportunity for written and oral comments, within such reasonable time as the Council deems appropriate. (5) The Council shall develop a program on the basis of such recommendations, supporting documents, and views and information obtained through public comment and participation, and consultation with the agencies, tribes, and customers referred to in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (4). The program shall consist of measures to protect, mitigate, and enhance fish and wildlife affected by the development, operation, and management of such facilities while assuring the Pacific Northwest an adequate, efficient, economical, and reliable power supply. Enhancement measures shall be included in the program to the extent such measures are designed to achieve improved protection and mitigation. (6) The Council shall include in the program measures which it determines, on the basis set forth in paragraph (5), will— (A) complement the existing and future activities of the Federal and the region’s State fish and wildlife agencies and appropriate Indian tribes; (B) be based on, and supported by, the best available scientific knowledge; (C) utilize, where equally effective alternative means of achieving the same sound biological objective exist, the alternative with the minimum economic cost; (D) be consistent with the legal rights of appropriate Indian tribes in the region; and (E) in the case of anadromous fish— (i) provide for improved survival of such fish at hydroelectric facilities located on the Columbia River system; and (ii) provide flows of sufficient quality and quantity between such facilities to improve production, migration, and survival of such fish as necessary to meet sound biological objectives. (7) The Council shall determine whether each recommendation received is consistent with the purposes of this Act. In the event such recommendations are inconsistent with each other, the Council, in consultation with appropriate entities, shall resolve such inconsistency in the program giving due weight to the recommendations, expertise, and legal rights and responsibilities of the Federal and the region’s State fish and wildlife agencies and appropriate Indian tribes. If the Council does not adopt any recommendation of the fish and wildlife agencies and Indian tribes as part of the program or any other recommendation, it shall explain in writing, as part of the program, the basis for its finding that the adoption of such recommendation would be— (A) inconsistent with paragraph (5) of this subsection; (B) inconsistent with paragraph (6) of this subsection; or (C) less effective than the adopted recommendations for the protection, mitigation, and enhancement of fish and wildlife. (8) The Council shall consider, in developing and adopting a program pursuant to this subsection, the following principles: (A) Enhancement measures may be used, in appropriate circumstances, as a means of achieving offsite protection and mitigation with respect to compensation for losses arising from the development and operation of the hydroelectric facilities of the Columbia River and its tributaries as a system. 94 STAT. 2710 (B) Consumers of electric power shall bear the cost of measures designed to deal with adverse impacts caused by the development and operation of electric power facilities and programs only. (C) To the extent the program provides for coordination of its measures with additional measures (including additional enhancement measures to deal with impacts caused by factors other than the development and operation of electric power facilities and programs), such additional measures are to be implemented in accordance with agreements among the appropriate parties providing for the administration and funding of such additional measures. (D) Monetary costs and electric power losses resulting from the implementation of the program snail be allocated by the Administrator consistent with individual project impacts and system-wide objectives of this subsection. (9) The Council shall adopt such program or amendments thereto within one year after the time provided for receipt of the recommendations. Such program shall also be included in the plan adopted by the Council under subsection (d). (10)(A) The Administrator shall use the Bonneville Power Administration fund and the authorities available to the Administrator under this Act and other laws administered by the Administrator to protect, mitigate, and enhance fish and wildlife to the extent affected by the development and operation of any hydroelectric project of the Columbia River and its tributaries in a manner consistent with the plan, if in existence, the program adopted by the Council under this subsection, and the purposes of this Act. Expenditures of the Administrator pursuant to this paragraph shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, other expenditures authorized or required from other entities under other agreements or provisions of law. (B) The Administrator may make expenditures from such fund which shall be included in the annual or supplementary budgets submitted to the Congress pursuant to the Federal Columbia River

16 USC 838 note.

Transmission System Act. Any amounts included in such budget for the construction of capital facilities with an estimated life of greater than 15 years and an estimated cost of at least $1,000,000 snail be funded in the same manner and in accordance with the same procedures as major transmission facilities under the Federal Columbia River Transmission System Act. (C)

Allocation of funds.

 The amounts expended by the Administrator for each activity pursuant to this subsection shall be allocated as appropriate by the Administrator, in consultation with the Corps of Engineers and the Water and Power Resources Service, among the various hydroelectric projects of the Federal Columbia River Power System. Amounts so allocated shall be allocated to the various project purposes in accordance with existing accounting procedures for the Federal Columbia River Power System. (11)(A) The Administrator and other Federal agencies responsible for managing, operating, or regulating Federal or non-Federal hydroelectric facilities located on the Columbia River or its tributaries shall— (i) exercise such responsibilities consistent with the purposes of this Act and other applicable laws, to adequately protect, mitigate, and enhance fish and wildlife, including related spawning grounds and habitat, affected by such projects or facilities in a manner that provides equitable treatment for such fish and wildlife with the other purposes for which such system and facilities are managed and operated; 94 STAT. 2711 (ii) exercise such responsibilities, taking into account at each relevant stage of decisionmaking processes to the fullest extent practicable, the program adopted by the Council under this subsection. If, and to the extent that, such other Federal agencies as a result of such consideration impose upon any non-Federal electric power project measures to protect, mitigate, and enhance fish and wildlife which are not attributable to the development and operation of such project, then the resulting monetary costs and power losses (if any) shall be borne by the Administrator in accordance with this subsection. (B) The Administrator and such Federal agencies shall consult with the Secretary of the Interior, the Administrator of the National Marine Fisheries Service, and the State fish and wildlife agencies of the region, appropriate Indian tribes, and affected project operators in carrying out the provisions of this paragraph and shall, to the greatest extent practicable, coordinate their actions. (12)(A) Beginning on October 1 of the first fiscal year after all

Report to congressional committees.

members to the Council are appointed initially, the Council shall submit annually a detailed report to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate and to the Committees on Interstate and Foreign Commerce and on Interior and Insular Affairs of the House of Representatives. The report shall describe the actions taken and to be taken by the Council under this Act, including this subsection, the effectiveness of the fish and wildlife program, and potential revisions or modifications to the program to be included in the plan when adopted. At least ninety days prior to its submission of such report, the Council shall make available to such fish and wildlife agencies, and tribes, the Administrator and the customers a draft of such report. The Council shall establish procedures for timely comments thereon. The Council shall include as an appendix to such report such comments or a summary thereof. (B) The Administrator shall keep such committees fully and currently informed of the actions taken and to be taken by the Administrator under this Act, including this subsection. (i) The Council may from tune to time review the actions of the

Review.

Administrator pursuant to sections 4 and 6 of this Act to determine whether such actions are consistent with the plan and programs, the extent to which the plan and programs is being implemented, and to assist the Council in preparing amendments to the plan and programs. (j)(1) The Council may request the Administrator to take an action under section 6 to carry out the Administrator’s responsibilities under the plan. (2) To the greatest extent practicable within ninety days after the Council’s request, the Administrator shall respond to the Council in writing specifying— (A) the means by which the Administrator will undertake the action or any modification thereof requested by the Council, or (B) the reasons why such action would not be consistent with the plan, or with the Administrator’s legal obligations under this Act, or other provisions of law, which the Administrator shall specifically identify. (3) If the Administrator determines not to undertake the requested

Hearing.

action, the Council, within sixty days after notice of the Administrator’s determination, may request the Administrator to hold an informal hearing and make a final decision. (k)(1) Not later than October 1, 1987, or six years after the Council

Conservation measures and resources, analysis.

is established under this Act, whichever is later, the Council shall 94 STAT. 2712complete a thorough analysis of conservation measures and conservation resources implemented pursuant to this Act during the five-year period beginning on the date the Council is established under this Act to determine if such measures or resources: (A) have resulted or are likely to result in costs to consumers in the region greater than the costs of additional generating resources or additional fuel which the Council determines would be necessary in the absence of such measures or resources; (B) have not been or are likely not to be generally equitable to all consumers in the region; or (C) have impaired or are likely to impair the ability of the Administrator to carry out his obligations under this Act and other laws, consistent with sound business practices. (2) The Administrator may determine that section 3(4)(1)) shall not apply to any proposed conservation measure or resource if the Administrator finds after receipt of such analysis from the Council that such measure or resource would have any result or effect described in subparagraph (A), (B) or (C) of paragraph (1).
sale of power Sec. 5.

16 USC 839c.

(a) All power sales under this Act shall be subject at all times to the preference and priority provisions of the Bonneville Project Act of 1937 (16 U.S.C. 832 and following) and, in particular, sections 4

16 USC 832c, 832d.

16 USC 832f.

and 5 thereof. Such sales shall be at rates established pursuant to section 7. (b)(1) Whenever requested, the Administrator shall offer to sell to each requesting public body and cooperative entitled to preference and priority under the Bonneville Project Act of 1937 and to each requesting investor-owned utility electric power to meet the firm power load of such public body, cooperative or investor-owned utility m the Region to the extent that such firm power load exceeds— (A) the capability of such entity’s firm peaking and energy resources used in the year prior to the enactment of this Act to serve its firm load in the region, and (B) such other resources as such entity determines, pursuant to contracts under this Act, will be used to serve its firm load in the region. In determining the resources which are used to serve a firm load, for purposes of subparagraphs (A) and (B), any resources used to serve a firm load under such subparagraphs shall be treated as continuing to be so used, unless such use is discontinued with the consent of the Administrator, or unless such use is discontinued because of obsolescence, retirement, loss of resource, or loss of contract rights. (2) Contracts with investor-owned utilities shall provide that the Administrator may reduce his obligations under such contracts in accordance with section 5(a) of the Bonneville Project Act of 1937. (3) In addition to his authorities to sell electric power under paragraph (1), the Administrator is also authorized to sell electric power to Federal agencies in the region. (4) Sales under this subsection shall be made only if the public body, cooperative, Federal agency or investor-owned utility complies with the Administrator’s standards for service in effect on the effective date of this Act or as subsequently revised. (5) The Administrator shall include in contracts executed in accordance with this subsection provisions that enable the Administrator to restrict his contractual obligations to meet the loads referred to in this subsection in the future if the Administrator determines, after a 94 STAT. 2713reasonable period of experience under this Act, that the Administrator cannot be assured on a planning basis of acquiring sufficient resources to meet such loads during a specified period of insufficiency. Any such contract with a public body, cooperative, or Federal agency shall specify a reasonable minimum period between a notice of restriction and the earliest date such restriction may be imposed. (6) Contracts executed in accordance with this subsection with public body, cooperative, and Federal agency customers shall— (A) provide that the restriction referred to in paragraph (5) shall not be applicable to any such customers until the operating year in which the total of such customers’ firm loads to be served by the Administrator equals or exceeds the firm capability of the Federal base system resources; (B) not permit restrictions which would reduce the total contractual entitlement of such customers to an amount less than the firm capability of the Federal base system resources; and (C) contain a formula for determining annually, on a uniform basis, each such customer’s contractual entitlement to firm power during such a period of restriction, which formula shall not consider customer resources other than those the customer has determined, as of the effective date of this Act, to be used to serve its own firm loads. The formula referred to in subparagraph (C) shall obligate the Administrator to provide on an annual basis only firm power needed to serve the portion of such customer’s firm load in excess of the capability of such customer’s own firm resources determined by such customer under paragraph (1) of this subsection to be used to serve its firm load. (c)(1) Whenever a Pacific Northwest electric utility offers to sell

Purchase and exchange sale.

electric power to the Administrator at the average system cost of that utility’s resources in each year, the Administrator shall acquire by purchase such power and snail offer, in exchange, to sell an equivalent amount of electric power to such utility for reside to that utility’s residential users within the region. (2) The purchase and exchange sale referred to in paragraph (1) of

Limitation.

this subsection with any electric utility shall be limited to an amount not in excess of 50 per centum of such utility’s Regional residential load in the year beginning July 1, 1980, such 50 per centum limit increasing in equal annual increments to 100 per centum of such load in the year beginning July 1, 1985, and each year thereafter. (3) The cost benefits, as specified in contracts with the Administrator,

Cost benefits.

of any purchase and exchange sale referred to in paragraph (1) of this subsection which are attributable to any electric utility’s residential load within a State shall be passed through directly to such utility’s residential loads within such State, except that a State which lies partially within and partially without the region may require that such cost benefits be distributed among all of the utility’s residential loads in that State. (4) An electric utility may terminate, upon reasonable terms and

Termination.

conditions agreed to by the Administrator and such utility prior to such termination, its purchase and sale under this subsection if the supplemental rate charge provided for in section 7(b)(3) is applied and the cost of electric power sold to such utility under this subsection exceeds, after application of such rate charge, the average system cost of power sold by such utility to the Administrator under this subsection. 94 STAT. 2714 (5) Subject to the provisions of sections 4 and 6, in lieu of purchasing any amount of electric power offered by a utility under paragraph (1) of this subsection, the Administrator may acquire an equivalent amount of electric power from other sources to replace power sold to such utility as part of an exchange sale if the cost of such acquisition is less than the cost of purchasing the electric power offered by such utility. (6) Exchange sales to a utility pursuant to this subsection shall not be restricted below the amounts of electric power acquired by the Administrator from, or on behalf of, such utility pursuant to this subsection. (7)

“Average system cost.”

 The “average system cost” for electric power sold to the Administrator under this subsection shall be determined by the Administrator on the basis of a methodology developed for this purpose in consultation with the Council, the Administrator’s customers, and appropriate State regulatory bodies in the region. Such methodology shall be subject to review and approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Such average system cost shall not include— (A) the cost of additional resources in an amount sufficient to serve any new large single load of the utility; (B) the cost of additional resources in an amount sufficient to meet any additional load outside the region occurring after the effective date of this Act; and (C) any costs of any generating facility which is terminated prior to initial commercial operation. (d)(1)(A) The Administrator is authorized to sell in accordance with this subsection electric power to existing direct service industrial customers. Such sales shall provide a portion of the Administrator’s reserves for firm power loads within the region. (B) After the effective date of this Act, the Administrator shall offer in accordance with subsection (g) of this section to each existing direct service industrial customer an initial long term contract that provides such customer an amount of power equivalent to that to which such customer is entitled under its contract dated January or April 1975 providing for the sale of “industrial firm power.” (2) The Administrator shall not sell electric power, including reserves, directly to new direct service industrial customers. (3) The Administrator shall not sell amounts of electric power, including reserves, to existing direct service industrial customers in excess of the amount permitted under paragraph (1) unless the Administrator determines, after a plan has been adopted pursuant to section 4 of this Act, that such proposed sale is consistent with the plan and that— (A) additional power system reserves are required for the region’s firm loads, (B)

“Industrial firm power.”

 the proposed sale would provide a cost-effective method of supplying such reserves, (C) such loads or loads of similar character cannot provide equivalent operating or planning benefits to the region if served by an electric utility under contractual arrangements providing reserves, and (D) the Administrator has or can acquire sufficient electric power to serve such loads, and unless the Council has determined such sale is consistent with the plan. After such determination by the Administrator and by the Council, the Administrator is authorized to offer to existing direct service industrial customers power in such amounts in excess of the 94 STAT. 2715amount permitted under paragraph (1) of this subsection as the Administrator determines to be necessary to provide additional power system reserves to meet the region’s firm loads. (4)(A) As used in this section, the term “existing direct service

Definitions.

industrial customer” means any direct service industrial customer of the Administrator which has a contract for the purchase of electric power from the Administrator on the effective date of this Act. (B) The term “new direct service industrial customer” means any industrial entity other than an existing direct service industrial customer. (C)(i) Where a new contract is offered in accordance with subsection

New contract.

(g) to any existing direct service industrial customer which has not received electric power prior to the effective date of this Act from the Administrator pursuant to a contract with the Administrator existing on the date of the enactment of this Act, electric power delivered under such new contract shall be conditioned on the Administrator reasonably acquiring, in accordance with this Act and within such estimated period of time (as specified in the contract) as he deems reasonable, sufficient resources to meet, on a planning basis, the load requirement of such customer. Such contract shall also provide that the obligation of the Administrator to acquire such resources to meet such load requirement shall, except as provided in clause (ii) of this subparagraph, apply only to such customer and shall not be sold or exchanged by such customer to any other person. (ii) Rights under a contract described in clause (i) of this subparagraph

Contract rights, transfer.

may be transferred by an existing direct service industrial customer referred to in clause (i) to a successor in interest in connection with a reorganization or other transfer of all major assets of such customer. Following such a transfer, such successor in interest (or any other subsequent successor in interest) may also transfer rights under such a contract only in connection with a reorganization or other transfer of all assets of such successor in interest. (iii) The limitations of clause (i) of this subparagraph shall not apply to any customer referred to in clause (i) whenever the Administrator determines that such customer is receiving electric power pursuant to a contract referred to in such clause (ii). (e)(1) The contractual entitlement to firm power of any customer from whom, or on whose behalf, the Administrator has acquired electric power pursuant to section 6 may not be restricted below the amount of electric power so acquired from, or on behalf of, such customer. If in any year such customer’s requirements are less than such entitlement, any excess of such entitlement shall be first made available to increase the entitlement of other customers of the same class before being available for the entitlement of other customers. For purposes of this paragraph, the following entities shall each constitute a class: (A) public bodies and cooperatives; (B) Federal agencies; (C) direct service industrial; and (D) investor owned utilities. (2) Any contractual entitlement to firm power which is based on electric power acquired from, or on behalf of, a customer pursuant to section 6 shall be in addition to any other contractual entitlement to firm power not subject to restriction that such customer may have under this section. For the purposes of this subsection, references to amounts of power acquired by the Administrator pursuant to section 6 shall be deemed to mean the amounts specified in the resource 94 STAT. 2716acquisition contracts exclusive of any amounts recognized in such contracts as replacement for Federal base system resources. (3) The Administrator shall, consistent with the provisions of this Act, insure that any restrictions upon any particular customer class made pursuant to this subsection and subsection (b) of this section are distributed equitably throughout the region. (f) The Administrator is authorized to sell, or otherwise dispose of, electric power, including power acquired pursuant to this and other Acts, that is surplus to his obligations incurred pursuant to subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this section in accordance with this and other Acts applicable to the Administrator, including the Bonneville Project Act of 1937 (16 U.S.C. 832 and following), the Federal Columbia River Transmission System Act (16 U.S.C. 838 and following), and the Act of August 31, 1964 (16 U.S.C. 837–837h). (g)

Long-term contracts.

(1) As soon as practicable within nine months after the effective date of this Act, the Administrator shall commence necessary negotiations for, and offer, initial long-term contracts (within the limitations of the third sentence of section 5(a) of the Bonneville Project

16 USC 832d.

Act) simultaneously to— (A) existing public body and cooperative customers and investor-owned utility customers under subsection (b) of this section; (B) Federal agency customers under subsection (b) of this section; (C) electric utility customers under subsection (c) of this section; and (D) direct service industrial customers under subsection (d)(1). (2) Each customer offered a contract pursuant to this subsection shall have one year from the date of such offer to accept such contract. Such contract shall be effective as provided in this subsection. (3) An initial contract with a public body, cooperative or investor- owned electric utility customer or a Federal agency customer pursuant to subsection (b) of this section shall be effective on the date executed by such customer, unless another effective date is otherwise agreed to by the Administrator and the customer. (4) An initial contract with an electric utility customer pursuant to subsection (c) of this section shall be effective on the date executed by such customer, but no earlier than the first day of the tenth month after the effective date of this Act. (5) An initial contract with a direct service industrial customer pursuant to subsection (d)(1), shall be effective on the date agreed upon by the Administrator and such customer, but no later than the first day of the tenth month after the effective date of this Act. When such contract is executed, it may for rate purposes be given retroactive effect to such first day. (6) Initial contracts offered public body, cooperative and Federal agency customers in accordance with this subsection shall provide that during a period of insufficiency declared in accordance with subsection (b) of this section each customer’s contractual entitlement shall, to the extent of its requirements on the Administrator, be no less than the amount of firm power received from the Administrator in the year immediately preceding the period of insufficiency. (7) The Administrator shall be deemed to have sufficient resources for the purpose of entering into the initial contracts specified in paragraph (1) (A) through (D).
94 STAT. 2717
conservation and resource acquisition Sec. 6. (a)(1) The Administrator shall acquire such resources

16 USC 839d.

through conservation, implement all such conservation measures, and acquire such renewable resources which are installed by a residential or small commercial consumer to reduce load, as the Administrator determines are consistent with the plan, or if no plan is in effect with the criteria of section 4(e)(1) and the considerations of section 4(e)(2) and, in the case of major resources, in accordance with subsection (c) of this section. Such conservation measures and such resources may include, but are not limited to— (A) loans and grants to consumers for insulation or weatherization, increased system efficiency, and waste energy recovery by direct application, (B) technical and financial assistance to, and other cooperation with, the Administrator’s customers and governmental authorities to encourage maximum cost-effective voluntary conservation and the attainment of any cost-effective conservation objectives adopted by individual States or subdivisions thereof, (C) aiding the Administrator’s customers and governmental authorities in implementing model conservation standards adopted pursuant to section 4(0, and (D) conducting demonstration projects to determine the cost effectiveness of conservation measures and direct application of renewable energy resources. (2) In addition to acquiring electric power pursuant to section 5(c), or on a short-term basis pursuant to section ll(b)(6)(i) of the Federal Columbia River Transmission System Act, the Administrator shall

acquire, in accordance with this section, sufficient resources— (A) to meet his contractual obligations that remain after taking into account planned savings from measures provided for in paragraph (1) of this subsection, and (B) to assist in meeting the requirements of section 4(h) of this Act. The Administrator shall acquire such resources without considering restrictions which may apply pursuant to section 5(b) of this Act. (b) (1) Except as specifically provided in this section, acquisition of resources under this Act shall be consistent with the plan, as determined by the Administrator. (2) The Administrator may acquire resources (other than major resources) under this Act which are not consistent with the plan, but which are determined by the Administrator to be consistent with the criteria of section 4(e)(1) and the considerations of section 4(e)(2) of this Act. (3) If no plan is in effect, the Administrator may acquire resources under this Act which are determined by the Administrator to be consistent with the criteria of section 4(e)(1) and the considerations of section 4(e)(2) of this Act. (4) The Administrator shall acquire any non-Federal resources to replace Federal base system resources only in accordance with the provisions of this section. The Administrator shall include in the contracts for the acquisition of any such non-Federal replacement resources provisions which will enable him to ensure that such non- Federal replacement resources are developed and operated in a manner consistent with the considerations specified in section 4(e)(2) of this Act. (5) Notwithstanding any acquisition of resources pursuant to this section, the Administrator shall not reduce his efforts to achieve 94 STAT. 2718conservation and to acquire renewable resources installed by a residential or small commercial consumer to reduce load, pursuant to subsection (a)(1) of this section. (c)(1) For each proposal under subsection (a), (b), (f), (h), or (1) of this section to acquire a major resource, to implement a conservation measure which will conserve an amount of electric power equivalent to that of a major resource, to pay or reimburse investigation and preconstruction expenses of the sponsors of a major resource, or to grant billing credits or services involving a major resource, the Administrator shall— (A)

Publication in Federal Register.

 publish notice of the proposed action in the Federal Register and provide a copy of such notice to the Council, the Governor of each State in which facilities would be constructed or a conservation measure implemented, and the Administrator’s customers; (B)

Public hearings.

 not less than sixty days following publication of such notice, conduct one or more public hearings, presided over by a hearing officer, at which testimony and evidence shall be received, with opportunity for such rebuttal and cross-examination as the hearing officer deems appropriate in the development of an adequate hearing record; (C) develop a record to assist in evaluating the proposal which shall include the transcript of the public hearings, together with exhibits, and such other materials and information as may have been submitted to, or developed by, the Administrator; and (D) following completion of such hearings, promptly provide to the Council and make public a written decision that includes, in addition to a determination respecting the requirements of subsection (a), (b), (f), (h), (1), or (m) of this section, as appropriate— (i) if a plan is in effect, a finding that the proposal is either consistent or inconsistent with the plan or, notwithstanding its inconsistency with the plan, a finding that it is needed to meet the Administrator’s obligations under this Act, or (ii) if no plan is in effect, a finding that the proposal is either consistent or inconsistent with the criteria of section 4(e)(1) and the considerations of section 4(e)(2) of this Act or notwithstanding its inconsistency, a finding that it is needed to meet the Administrator’s obligations under this Act. In the case of subsection (f) of this section, such decision shall be treated as satisfying the applicable requirements of this subsection and of subsection (f) of this section, if it includes a finding of probable consistency, based upon the Administrator’s evaluation of information available at the time of completion of the hearing under this paragraph. Such decision shall include the reasons for such finding. (2) Within sixty days of the receipt of the Administrator’s decision pursuant to paragraph (1)(1)) of this subsection, the Council may determine by a majority vote of all members of the Council, and notify the Administrator— (A) that the proposal is either consistent or inconsistent with the plan, or (B) if no plan is in effect, that the proposal is either consistent or inconsistent with the criteria of section 4(e)(1) and the considerations of section 4(e)(2). (3) The Administrator may not implement any proposal referred to in paragraph (1) that is determined pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) by either the Administrator or the Council to be inconsistent with the 94 STAT. 2719plan or, if no plan is in effect, with the criteria of section 4(e)(1) and the considerations of section 4(e)(2)— (A) unless the Administrator finds that, notwithstanding such inconsistency, such resource is needed to meet the Administrator’s obligations under this Act, and (B) until the expenditure of funds for that purpose has been specifically authorized by Act of Congress enacted after the date of the enactment of this Act. (4) Before the Administrator implements any proposal referred to in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the Administrator shall— (A) submit to the appropriate committees of the Congress the administrative record of the decision (including any determination by the Council under paragraph (2)) and a statement of the procedures followed or to be followed for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969,

42 USC 4321 note.

Publication in Federal Register.

 (B) publish notice of the decision in the Federal Register, and (C) note the proposal in the Administrator’s annual or supplementary budget submittal made pursuant to the Federal Columbia River Transmission System Act (16 U.S.C. 838 and following). The Administrator may not implement any such proposal until ninety days after the date on which such proposal has been noted in such budget or after the date on which such decision has been published in the Federal Register, whichever is later. (5) The authority of the Council to make a determination under paragraph (2)(B) if no plan is in effect shall expire on the date two years after the establishment of the Council. (d) The Administrator is authorized to acquire a resource, other than a major resource, whether or not such resource meets the criteria of section 4(e)(1) and the considerations of section 4(e)(2) but which he determines is an experimental, developmental, demonstration, or pilot project of a type with a potential for providing cost-effective service to the region. The Administrator shall make no obligation for the acquisition of such resource until it is included in the annual budgets submitted to the Congress pursuant to the Federal Columbia River Transmission System Act. (e)(1) In order to effectuate the priority given to conservation measures and renewable resources under this Act, the Administrator shall, to the maximum extent practicable, make use of his authorities under this Act to acquire conservation measures and renewable resources, to implement conservation measures, and to provide credits and technical and financial assistance for the development and implementation of such resources and measures (including the funding of, and the securing of debt for, expenses incurred during the investigation and preconstruction of resources, as authorized in subsection (fl of this section). (2) To the extent conservation measures or acquisition of resources require direct arrangements with consumers, the Administrator shall make maximum practicable use of customers and local entities capable of administering and carrying out such arrangements. (f)(1) For resources which the Administrator determines may be eligible for acquisition under this section and satisfy the criteria of section 4(e)(1) and the considerations of section 4(e)(2) of this Act or, if a plan is in effect, to be consistent with the plan, the Administrator is authorized to enter into agreements with sponsors of— (A) a renewable resource, other than a major resource, to fund or secure debt incurred in the investigation and initial development of such resource, or 94 STAT. 2720 (B) any other resource to provide for the reimbursement of the sponsor’s investigation and preconstruction expenses concerning such resource (which expenses shall not include procurement of capital equipment or construction material for such resource). In the case of any resource referred to in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, such reimbursement is authorized only if— (i) such resource is subsequently denied State siting approval or other necessary Federal or State permits, or approvals, (ii) such investigation subsequently demonstrates, as determined by the Administrator, that such resource does not meet the criteria of section 4(e)(1) and the considerations of section 4(e)(2) of this Act or is not acceptable because of environmental impacts, or (iii) after such investigation the Administrator determines not to acquire the resource and the sponsor determines not to construct the resource. (2) The Administrator may exercise the authority of this subsection only after he determines that the failure to do so would result in inequitable hardship to the consumers of such sponsors. The Administrator may provide reimbursement under this subsection only for expenses incurred after the date of the enactment of this Act. (3) Any agreement under paragraph (1) of this subsection shall provide the Administrator an option to acquire any such resource, including a renewable resource, and shall include such other provisions, as the Administrator deems appropriate, for the Administrator’s recovery from such sponsors or any assignee of the sponsors, if such sponsor or assignee continues development of the resource, of any advances made by the Administrator pursuant to such agreement. (4) The Administrator shall not reimburse any expense incurred by the sponsors (except necessary expenses involved in the liquidation of the resource) after the date of a final denial of application for State siting approval or after the date the Administrator determines that the resource to be inconsistent with the plan or the criteria of section 4(e)(1) and the considerations of section 4(e)(2). (g) At the request of the appropriate State, any environmental impact statement which may be required with respect to a resource, to the extent determined possible by the Administrator in accordance with applicable law and regulations, may be prepared jointly and in coordination with any required environmental impact statement of the State or any other statement which serves the purpose of an environmental impact statement which is required by State law. (h)

Billing credits.

(1) If a customer so requests, the Administrator shall grant billing credits to such customer, and provide services to such customer at rates established for such services, for— (A) conservation activities independently undertaken or continued after the effective date of this Act by such customer or political subdivision served by such customer which reduce the obligation of the Administrator that would otherwise have existed to acquire other resources under this Act, or (B) resources constructed, completed, or acquired after the effective date of this Act by a customer, an entity acting on behalf of such customer, or political subdivision served by the customer which reduce the obligation of the Administrator to acquire resources under this Act. Such resources shall be renewable resources or multipurpose projects or other resources which are not inconsistent with the plan or, in the absence of a plan, not 94 STAT. 2721inconsistent with the criteria of section 4(e)(1) and the considerations of section 4(e)(2) of this Act. (2) The energy and capacity on which a credit under this subsection to a customer is based shall be the amount by which a conservation activity or resource actually changes the customer’s net requirement for supply of electric power or reserves from the Administrator. (3) The amount of credits for conservation under this subsection shall be set to credit the customer implementing or continuing the conservation activity for which the credit is granted for the savings resulting from such activity. The rate impact on the Administrator s other customers of granting the credit shall be equal to the rate impact such customers would have experienced had the Administrator been obligated to acquire resources in an amount equal to that actually saved by the activity for which the credit is granted. (4) For resources other than conservation, the customer shall be credited for net costs actually incurred by such customer, an entity acting on behalf of such customer, or political subdivision served by such customer, in acquiring, constructing, or operating the resource for which the credit is granted. The rate impact to the Administrator’s other customers of granting the credit shall be no greater than the rate impact such customers would have experienced had the Administrator been obligated to acquire resources in an amount equal to that actually produced by the resource for which the credit is granted. (5) Retail rate structures which are voluntarily implemented by the Administrator’s customers and which induce conservation or installation of consumer-owned renewable resources shall be considered, for purposes of this subsection, to be (A) conservation activities independently undertaken or carried on by such customers, or (B) customer-owned renewable resources, and shall qualify for billing credits upon the same showing as that required for other conservation or renewable resource activities. (6) Prior to granting any credit or providing services pursuant to this subsection, the Administrator shall— (A) comply with the notice provisions of subsection (c) of this section, and include in such notice the methodology the Administrator proposes to use in determining the amount of any such credit; (B) include the cost of such credit in the Administrator’s annual or amended budget submittal to the Congress made pursuant to the Federal Columbia River Transmission System Act(16U.S.C. 838(j)); (C) require that resources in excess of customer’s reasonable load growth shall have been offered to others for ownership, participation or other sponsorship pursuant to subsection (m) of this section, except in the case of conservation, multi-purpose projects uniquely suitable for development by the customer, or renewable resources; and (D) require that the operators of any generating resource for which a billing credit is to be granted agree to operate such resource in a manner compatible with the planning and operation of the region’s power system. (i) Contracts for the acquisition of resources and for billing credits for major resources, including conservation activities, entered into pursuant to this section shall contain such terms and conditions, applicable after the contract is entered into, as will— (1) insure timely construction, scheduling, completion, and operation of resources, 94 STAT. 2722 (2) insure that the costs of any acquisition are as low as reasonably possible, consistent (A) with sound engineering, operating, and safety practices, and (B) the protection, mitigation, and enhancement of fish and wildlife, including related spawning grounds and habitat affected by the development of such resources, and (3) insure that the Administrator exercises effective oversight, inspection, audit, and review of all aspects of such construction and operation. Such contracts shall contain provisions assuring that the Administrator has the authority to approve all costs of, and proposals for, major modifications in construction, scheduling or operations and to assure that the Administrator is provided with such current information as he deems necessary to evaluate such construction and operation. (j)(1) All contractual and other obligations required to be carried out by the Administrator pursuant to this Act shall be secured solely by the Administrator’s revenues received from the sale of electric power and other services. Such obligations are not, nor shall they be construed to be, general obligations of the United States, nor are such obligations intended to be or are they secured by the full faith and credit of the United States. (2) All contracts entered into by the Administrator for the acquisition of resources pursuant to this Act shall require that, in the sale of any obligations, all offerings and promotional material for the sale of such obligations shall include the language contained in the second sentence of paragraph (1) of this subsection. The Administrator shall monitor and enforce such requirement. (k) In the exercise of his authorities pursuant to this section, the Administrator shall, consistent with the provisions of this Act and the Administrator’s obligations to particular customer classes, insure that benefits under this section, including financial and technical assistance, conduct of conservation demonstrations, and experimental projects, services, and billing credits, are distributed equitably throughout the region. (l)

Investigations.

(1) The Administrator is authorized and directed to investigate opportunities for adding to the region’s resources or reducing the region’s power costs through the accelerated or cooperative development of resources located outside the States of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington if such resources are renewable resources, and are now or in the future planned or considered for eventual development by nonregional agencies or authorities that will or would own, sponsor, or otherwise develop them. The Administrator shall keep the Council fully and currently informed of such investigations, and seek the Council’s advice as to the desirability of pursuing such investigations. (2) The Administrator is authorized and directed to investigate periodically opportunities for mutually beneficial interregional exchanges of electric power that reduce the need for additional generation or generating capacity in the Pacific Northwest and the regions with which such exchanges may occur. The Council shall take into consideration in formulating a plan such investigations. (3) After the Administrator submits a report to Congress pursuant to paragraph (5) of this subsection, the Administrator is authorized to acquire resources consistent with such investigations and consistent with the plan or, if no plan is in effect, with the priorities of section 4(e)(1) and the considerations of section 4(e)(2). Such acquisitions shall be in accordance with the provisions of this subsection. 94 STAT. 2723 (4) The Administrator shall conduct the investigations and the acquisitions, if any, authorized under this subsection with the assistance of other Federal agencies as may be appropriate. (5) No later than July 1, 1981, the Administrator shall submit to the

Report to Congress

Congress a report of the results of the investigations undertaken pursuant to this subsection, together with the prospects for obtaining additional resources under the authority granted by this subsection and for reductions in generation or generating capacity through exchanges. (m) Except as to resources under construction on the effective date of this Act, the Administrator shall determine in each case of a major resource acquisition that a reasonable share of the particular resource, or a reasonable equivalent, has been offered to each Pacific Northwest electric utility for ownership, participation, or other sponsorship, but not in excess of the amounts needed to meet such utility’s Regional load.
rates Sec. 7. (a)(1) The Administrator shall establish, and periodically

16 USC 839e.

review and revise, rates for the sale and disposition of electric energy and capacity and for the transmission of non-Federal power. Such rates shall be established and, as appropriate, revised to recover, in accordance with sound business principles, the costs associated with the acquisition, conservation, and transmission of electric power, including the amortization of the Federal investment in the Federal Columbia River Power System (including irrigation costs required to be repaid out of power revenues) over a reasonable period of years and the other costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator pursuant to this Act and other provisions of law. Such rates shall be established in accordance with sections 9 and 10 of the Federal Columbia River Transmission System Act (16 U.S.C. 838), section 5 of

16 USC 838g, 838h.

16 USC 825s.

the Flood Control Act of 1944, and the provisions of this Act. (2) Rates established under this section shall become effective only, except in the case of interim rules as provided in subsection (i)(6), upon confirmation and approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission upon a finding by the Commission, that such rates— (A) are sufficient to assure repayment of the Federal investment in the Federal Columbia River Power System over a reasonable number of years after first meeting the Administrator’s other costs, (B) are based upon the Administrator’s total system costs, and (C) insofar as transmission rates are concerned, equitably allocate the costs of the Federal transmission system between Federal and non-Federal power utilizing such system. (b)(1) The Administrator shall establish a rate or rates of general application for electric power sold to meet the general requirements of public body, cooperative, and Federal agency customers within the Pacific Northwest, and loads of electric utilities under section 5(c). Such rate or rates shall recover the costs of that portion of the Federal base system resources needed to supply such loads until such sales exceed the Federal base system resources. Thereafter, such rate or rates shall recover the cost of additional electric power as needed to supply such loads, first from the electric power acquired by the Administrator under section 5(c) and then from other resources. (2) After July 1, 1985, the projected amounts to be charged for firm power for the combined general requirements of public body, cooperative and Federal agency customers, exclusive of amounts charged such customers under subsection (g) for the costs of conservation, 94 STAT. 2724resource and conservation credits, experimental resources and uncontrollable events, may not exceed in total, as determined by the Administrator, during any year after July 1, 1985, plus the ensuing four years, an amount equal to the power costs for general requirements of such customers if, the Administrator assumes that— (A) the public body and cooperative customers’ general requirements had included during such five-year period the direct service industrial customer loads which are— (i) served by the Administrator, and (ii) located within or adjacent to the geographic service boundaries of such public bodies and cooperatives; (B) public body, cooperative, and Federal agency customers were served, during such five-year period, with Federal base system resources not obligated to other entities under contracts existing as of the effective date of this Act (during the remaining term of such contracts) excluding obligations to direct service industrial customer loads included in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph; (C) no purchases or sales by the Administrator as provided in section 5(c) were made during such five-year period; (D) all resources that would have been required, during such five-year period, to meet remaining general requirements of the public body, cooperative and Federal agency customers (other than requirements met by the available Federal base system resources determined under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph) were— (i) purchased from such customers by the Administrator pursuant to section 6, or (ii) not committed to load pursuant to section 5(b), and were the least expensive resources owned or purchased by public bodies or cooperatives; and any additional needed resources were obtained at the average cost of all other new resources acquired by the Administrator; and (E) the quantifiable monetary savings, during such five-year period, to public body, cooperative and Federal agency customers resulting from— (i) reduced public body and cooperative financing costs as applied to the total amount of resources, other than Federal base system resources, identified under subparagraph (D) of this paragraph, and (ii) reserve benefits as a result of the Administrator’s actions under this Act were not achieved. (3) Any amounts not charged to public body, cooperative, and Federal agency customers by reason of paragraph (2) of this subsection shall be recovered through supplemental rate charges for all other power sold by the Administrator to all customers. Rates charged public body, cooperative, or Federal agency customers pursuant to this subsection shall not include any costs or benefits of a net revenue surplus or deficiency occurring for the period ending June 30, 1985, to the extent such surplus or deficiency is caused by— (A) a difference between actual power deliveries and power deliveries projected for the purpose of establishing rates to direct service industrial customers under subsection (c)(1) of this subsection, and (B) an overrecovery or underrecovery of the net costs incurred by the Administrator under section 5(c) as a result of such difference. 94 STAT. 2725 Any such revenue surplus or deficiency incurred shall be recovered from, or repaid to, customers over a reasonable period of time after July 1, 1985, through a supplemental rate charge or credit applied proportionately for all other power sold by the Administrator at rates established under other subsections of this section prior to July 1, 1985. (4) The term “general requirements” as used in this section means

“General requirements.”

the public body, cooperative or Federal agency customer’s electric power purchased from the Administrator under section 5(b) of this Act, exclusive of any new large single load. (c)(1) The rate or rates applicable to direct service industrial customers shall be established— (A) for the period prior to July 1, 1985, at a level which the Administrator estimates will be sufficient to recover the cost of resources the Administrator determines are required to serve such customers’ load and the net costs incurred by the Administrator pursuant to section 5(c) of this Act, based upon the Administrator’s projected ability to make power available to such customers pursuant to their contracts, to the extent that such costs are not recovered through rates applicable to other customers; and (B) for the period beginning July 1, 1985, at a level which the Administrator determines to be equitable in relation to the retail rates charged by the public body and cooperative customers to their industrial consumers in the region. (2) The determination under paragraph (1)(B) of this subsection shall be based upon the Administrator’s applicable wholesale rates to such public body and cooperative customers and the typical margins included by such public body and cooperative customers in their retail industrial rates but shall take into account— (A) the comparative size and character of the loads served, (B) the relative costs of electric capacity, energy, transmission, and related delivery facilities provided and other service provisions, and (C) direct and indirect overhead costs, all as related to the delivery of power to industrial customers, except that the Administrator’s rates during such period shall in no event be less than the rates in effect for the contract year ending on June 30, 1985. (3) The Administrator shall adjust such rates to take into account the value of power system reserves made available to the Administrator through his rights to interrupt or curtail service to such direct service industrial customers. (d)(1) In order to avoid adverse impacts on retail rates of the Administrator’s customers with low system densities, the Administrator shall, to the extent appropriate, apply discounts to the rate or rates for such customers. (2) In order to avoid adverse impacts of increased rates pursuant to this Act on any direct service industrial customer using raw minerals indigenous to the region as its primary resource, the Administrator, upon request of such customer showing such impacts and after considering the effect of such request on his other obligations under this Act, is authorized, if the Administrator determines that such impacts will be significant, to establish a special rate applicable to such customer if all power sold to such customer may be interrupted, curtailed, or withdrawn to meet firm loads in the region. Such rate shall be established in accordance with this section and shall include such terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate. 94 STAT. 2726 (e) Nothing in this Act prohibits the Administrator from establishing, in rate schedules of general application, a uniform rate or rates for sale of peaking capacity or from establishing time-of-day, seasonal rates, or other rate forms. (f) Rates for all other firm power sold by the Administrator for use in the Pacific Northwest shall be based upon the cost of the portions of Federal base system resources, purchases of power under section 5(c) of this Act and additional resources which, in the determination of the Administrator, are applicable to such sales. (g) Except to the extent that the allocation of costs and benefits is governed by provisions of law in effect on the effective date of this Act, or by other provisions of this section, the Administrator shall equitably allocate to power rates, in accordance with generally accepted ratemaking principles and the provisions of this Act, all costs and benefits not otherwise allocated under this section, including, but not limited to, conservation, fish and wildlife measures, uncontrollable events, reserves, the excess costs of experimental resources acquired under section 6, the cost of credits granted pursuant to section 6, operating services, and the sale of or inability to sell excess electric power. (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section (except the provisions of subsection (a) of this section), the Administrator shall adjust power rates to include any surcharges arising under section 4(f) of this Act, and shall allocate any revenues from such charges in such manner as the Administrator determines will help achieve the purposes of section 4(f) of this Act. (i) In establishing rates under this section, the Administrator shall use the following procedures: (1)

Publication in Federal Register.

 Notice of the proposed rates shall be published in the Federal Register with a statement of the justification and reasons supporting such rates. Such notice shall include a date for a hearing in accordance with paragraph (2) of this subsection. (2)

Hearings.

 One or more hearings shall be conducted as expeditiously as practicable by a hearing officer to develop a full and complete record and to receive public comment in the form of written and oral presentation of views, data, questions, and argument related to such proposed rates. In any such hearing— (A) any person shall be provided an adequate opportunity by the hearing officer to offer refutation or rebuttal of any material submitted by any other person or the Administrator, and (B) the hearing officer, in his discretion, shall allow a reasonable opportunity for cross examination, which, as determined by the hearing officer, is not dilatory, in order to develop information and material relevant to any such proposed rate. (3) In addition to the opportunity to submit oral and written material at the hearings, any written views, data, questions, and arguments submitted by persons prior to, or before the close of, hearings shall be made a part of the administrative record. (4)

Publication in Federal Register.

 After such a hearing, the Administrator may propose revised rates, publish such proposed rates in the Federal Register, and conduct additional hearings in accordance with this subsection. (5) The Administrator shall make a final decision establishing a rate or rates based on the record which shall include the hearing transcript, together with exhibits, and such other materials and information as may have been submitted to, or devel-94 STAT. 2727oped by, the Administrator. The decision shall include a full and complete justification of the final rates pursuant to this section. (6) The final decision of the Administrator shall become effective on confirmation and approval of such rates by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission pursuant to subsection (a)(2) of this section. The Commission shall have the authority, in accordance

Interim rates.

with such procedures, if any, as the Commission shall promptly establish and make effective within one year after the enactment of this Act, to approve the final rate submitted by the Administrator on an interim basis, pending the Commission’s final decision in accordance with such subsection. Pending the establishment of such procedures by the Commission, if such procedures are required, the Secretary is authorized to approve such interim rates during such one-year period in accordance with the applicable procedures followed by the Secretary prior to the effective date of this Act. Such interim rates, at the discretion of the Secretary, shall continue in effect until July 1, 1982. (j) All rate schedules adopted, and all power billings rendered, by the Administrator pursuant to this section shall indicate— (1) the approximate cost contribution of different resource categories to the Administrator’s rates for the sale of energy and capacity, and (2) the cost of resources acquired to meet load growth within the region and the relation of such cost to the average cost of resources available to the Administrator. (k) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, all rates or

Rate or rate schedules, establishment.

rate schedules for the sale of nonfirm electric power within the United States, but outside the region, shall be established after the date of this Act by the Administrator in accordance with the procedures of subsection (i) of this section (other than the first sentence of paragraph (6) thereof) and in accordance with the Bonneville Project Act, the Flood Control Act of 1944, and the Federal

16 USC 832–832l;

Columbia River Transmission System Act. Notwithstanding section 201(f) of the Federal Power Act, such rates or rate schedules shall become effective after review by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for conformance with the requirements of such Acts and after approval thereof by the Commission. Such review shall be based on the record of proceedings established under subsection (i) of this section. The parties to such proceedings under subsection (i) shall be afforded an opportunity by the Commission for an additional hearing in accordance with the procedures established for ratemaking by the Commission pursuant to the Federal Power Act. (l) In order to further the purposes of this Act and to protect the consumers of the region, the Administrator may negotiate, or establish, rates for electric power sold by the Administrator to any entity not located in the United States which shall be equitable in relation to rates for all electric power which is, or may be, purchased by the Administrator or the Administrator’s customers from entities outside the United States. In establishing rates other than by negotiation, the provisions of subsection (i) shall apply. In the case of any negotiation

Negotiated rates outside U.S.

Notice.

with an entity not located in the United States, the Administrator shall provide public notice of any proposal to negotiate such rates. Such negotiated rates shall be not less than the rates established under this Act for nonfirm power sold within the United States but outside the region. The Administrator shall also afford notice of any rates negotiated pursuant to this subsection. (m)(1) Beginning the first fiscal year after the plan and program

Payments.

required by section 4 (d) and (h) of this Act are finally adopted, the 94 STAT. 2728Administrator may, subject to the provisions of this section, make annual impact aid payments to the appropriate local governments within the region with respect to major transmission facilities of the Administrator, as defined in section 3(c) of the Federal Columbia

River Transmission Act— (A) which are located within the jurisdictional boundaries of such governments, (B) which are determined by the Administrator to have a substantial impact on such governments, and (C) where the construction of such facilities, or any modification thereof, is completed after the effective date of this Act, and, in the case of a modification of an existing facility, such modification substantially increases the capacity of such existing transmission facility. (2)

Payment formula.

 Payments made under this subsection for any fiscal year shall be determined by the Administrator pursuant to a regionwide, uniform formula to be established by rule in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsection (i) of this section. Such rule shall become effective on its approval, after considering its effect on rates established pursuant to this section, by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. In developing such formula, the Administrator shall identify, and take into account, the local governmental services provided to the Administrator concerning such facilities and the associated costs to such governments as the result of such facilities. (3) Payments made pursuant to this subsection shall be made solely from the fund established by section 11 of the Federal Columbia River

16 USC 838i, 838k.

Transmission System Act. The provisions of section 13 of such Act, and any appropriations provided to the Administrator under any law, shall not be available for such payments. The authorization of payments under this subsection shall not be construed as an obligation of the United States. (4) No payment may be made under this subsection with respect to any land or interests in land owned by the United States within the region and administered by any Federal agency (other than the Administrator), without regard to how the United States obtained ownership thereof, including lands or interests therein acquired or withdrawn by a Federal agency for purposes of such agency and subsequently made available to the Administrator for such facilities.

Such amount of energy shall not be excluded, if the Administrator determines that through reasonable measures such amount of energy could not be conserved or otherwise retained for service to regional loads. The Administrator may sell as replacement for any amount of energy so excluded only energy that would otherwise be surplus. (d) No restrictions contained in subsection (c) shall limit or interfere with the sale, exchange or other disposition of any power by any utility or group thereof from any existing or new non-Federal resource if such sale, exchange or disposition does not increase the amount of firm power the Administrator would be obligated to provide to any customer.

15 USC 3801.

cited as the “Methane Transportation Research, Development, and Demonstration Act of 1980”.
findings and policy Sec. 2. (a) The Congress finds and declares that— (1) gasoline and diesel fuel for vehicular use are in short supply and constitute a sizable portion of domestic petroleum consumption; (2) methane use in fleet-operated vehicles would result in substantial reduction in oil imports; (3) methane is in more abundant domestic supply than petroleum products, is the primary component of natural gas and can be derived in increased quantities from coal, biomass, waste products, and other renewable resources; (4) recoverable methane presently available in the United States is not fully utilized; (5) test results to date indicate that methane use as a substitute for gasoline as a motor fuel can result in emission reductions; (6) experience to date has shown methane to be a safe motor fuel in properly modified vehicles and is therefore particularly suitable as fuel for fleet vehicles; and (7) the introduction into commerce of methane-fueled vehicles would be expedited and facilitated by the establishment of a Federal program of research, development, and demonstration to explore and refine technologies related to methane use as a vehicular fuel. (b) It is therefore declared to be the policy of the Congress in this Act to— (1) provide for and support advanced and accelerated research into, and development of, methane vehicle design, and related technologies; (2) demonstrate the economic and technological practicalities of methane-fueled vehicles for fleet use and of methane-fueled farm equipment; (3) facilitate, and remove barriers to, the use of methane-fueled vehicles in lieu of gasoline- or diesel-powered motor vehicles where practicable; (4) promote the substitution of methane-fueled vehicles for gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles currently used on farms and in fleet operations, particularly in areas where such substitution would facilitate plans to meet air quality standards set under the Clean Air Act, as amended; and

With respect to the end of any such suspension, the preceding sentence supersedes the provisions of title II of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1621–1622) which provide that powers or authorities exercised by reason of a national emergency shall cease to be exercised after the date of the termination of the emergency.”.</content> </subsection> </section> </quotedContent> </content> </subsection> </section> <section class="firstIndent1 fontsize10"> <heading class="smallCaps centered">repeal of sections relating to appointments of commissioned officers in the regular army and in the regular air force</heading> <num value="204"><inline class="smallCaps">Sec</inline>. 204. </num><content class="inline">The following sections of chapters 335 and 835, relating to appointments in the Regular Army and Regular Air Force, are repealed: sections 3284 and 8284, 3285 and 8285, 3286 and 8286, 3287 and 8287, 3288 and 8288, 3289 and 8289, 3290, 3291, 3292, 3293 and 8293, 3294 and 8294, 3295 and 8295, 3296 and 8296, 3297 and 8297, 3298 and 8298, 3299 and 8299, 3300 and 8300, 8301, 3302 and 8302, 3303 and 8303, 3305 and 8305, 3306 and 8306, 3307 and 8307, 3308 and 8308, 3309 and 8309, 3312 and 8312, 3313 and 8313, and 3314 and 8314.</content> </section> <page identifier="/us/stat/94/2881">94 STAT. 2881</page> <section class="firstIndent1 fontsize10"> <heading class="smallCaps centered">service credit upon original appointment of reserve commissioned officers</heading> <num value="205"><inline class="smallCaps">Sec</inline>. 205. </num> <subsection class="inline"> <num value="a">(a) </num><content class="inline">Section 3353, relating to the appointment and service credit of reserve commissioned officers of the Army, is amended to read as follows: <quotedContent> <section> <num value="3353">“§3353. </num><heading>Commissioned officers: service credit upon original appointment<sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize8"><ref href="/us/usc/t10/s3353">10 USC 3353</ref>.</p></sidenote></heading> <subsection class="indent0 fontsize10"> <num value="a">“(a) </num> <paragraph class="inline"> <num value="1">(1) </num> <content>For the purpose of chapters 337 and<sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize8"><ref href="/us/usc/t10/s3351/3843">10 USC 3351 <i>et seq</i>., 3843 <i>et seq</i></ref>,</p></sidenote> 363 of this title and under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, a person receiving an original appointment as a reserve commissioned officer in the Army shall be credited at the time of such appointment with any service as a commissioned officer, except service as a commissioned warrant officer, that he performed in an active status in any armed force before such appointment.</content> </paragraph> <paragraph class="firstIndent1 fontsize10"> <num value="2">“(2) </num> <content>The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe regulations to authorize the Secretary of the Army to limit the amount of prior commissioned service with which a person receiving an original appointment may be credited under paragraph (1), or to deny any such credit, in the case of a person who at the time of such appointment is credited with constructive service under subsection (b).</content> </paragraph> </subsection> <subsection class="firstIndent1 fontsize10"> <num value="b">“(b)</num> <paragraph class="inline"> <num value="1">(1) </num> <chapeau>Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Army shall credit a person who is receiving an original appointment as a reserve commissioned officer in the Army and who has advanced education or training or special experience with constructive service for such education, training, or experience as follows:</chapeau> <subparagraph class="firstIndent1 fontsize10"> <num value="A">“(A) </num> <content>One year for each year of advanced education beyond the baccalaureate degree level, for persons appointed in officer categories requiring such advanced education or an advanced degree as a prerequisite for appointment as a commissioned officer.

amendment thereto, if any, subsequent to its adoption, the planning commission after due notice shall hold at least one public hearing which may be continued from time to time, and shall review the testimony and any written recommendations presented at such hearing before recommending the plan or amendment. The notice required by this subdivision shall be given at least 20 days prior to the public hearing by publication at least once in a newspaper or combination of newspapers whose circulation is general throughout the region and in each county a portion of whose territory lies within the region.

The planning commission shall then recommend such plan or amendment to the governing body for adoption by ordinance. The governing body may adopt, modify or reject the proposed plan or amendment, or may initiate and adopt a plan or amendment without referring it to the planning commission. If the governing body initiates or substantially modifies a plan or amendment, it shall hold at least one public hearing thereon after due notice as required in this subdivision.

If a request is made for the amendment of the regional plan by:

 (1) A political subdivision a part of whose territory would be affected by such amendment; or (2) The owner or lessee of real property which would be affected by such amendment, the governing body shall complete its action on such amendment within 180 days after such request is accepted as complete according to standards which must be prescribed by ordinance of the agency. (b) The agency shall develop, in cooperation with the States of

Environmental threshold carrying capacities.

California and Nevada, environmental threshold carrying capacities for the region. The agency should request the President’s Council on Environmental Quality, the U.S. Forest Service and other appropriate agencies to assist in developing such environmental threshold 94 STAT. 3240carrying capacities. Within 18 months after the effective date of the amendments to this compact, the agency shall adopt environmental threshold carrying capacities for the region. (c)

Regional plan.

Within 1 year after the adoption of the environmental threshold carrying capacities for the region, the agency shall amend the regional plan so that, at a minimum, the plan and all of its elements, as implemented through agency ordinances, rules and regulations, achieves and maintains the adopted environmental threshold carrying capacities. Each element of the plan shall contain implementation provisions and time schedules for such implementation by ordinance. The planning commission and governing body shall continuously review and maintain the regional plan. The regional plan shall consist of a diagram, or diagrams, and text, or texts setting forth the projects and proposals for implementation of the regional plan, a description of the needs and goals of the region and a statement of the policies, standards and elements of the regional plan.

The regional plan shall be a single enforceable plan and includes all of the following correlated elements:

 (1)

Land-use.

A land-use plan for the integrated arrangement and general location and extent of, and the criteria and standards for, the uses of land, water, air, space and other natural resources within the region, including but not limited to an indication or allocation of maximum population densities and permitted uses. (2)

Transportation.

Where increases in capacity are required, the agency shall give preference to providing such capacity through public transportation and public programs and projects related to transportation. The agency shall review and consider all existing transportation plans in preparing its regional transportation plan pursuant to this paragraph.

The plan shall provide for an appropriate transit system for the region.

The plan shall give consideration to:

 (A) Completion of the Loop Road in the States of Nevada and California; (B) Utilization of a light rail mass transit system in the South Shore area; and (C) Utilization of a transit terminal in the Kingsbury Grade area. Until the regional plan is revised, or a new transportation plan is adopted in accordance with this paragraph, the agency has no effective transportation plan. (3)

Conservation.

A conservation plan for the preservation, development, utilization, and management of the scenic and other natural resources within the basin, including but not limited to, soils, shoreline and submerged lands, scenic corridors along transportation routes, open spaces, recreational and historical facilities. 94 STAT. 3241 (4) A recreation plan for the development, utilization, and management

scale and provision of public services and facilities, which, by the nature of their function, size, extent and other characteristics are necessary or appropriate for inclusion in the regional plan.

In formulating and maintaining the regional plan, the planning commission and governing body shall take account of and snail seek to harmonize the needs of the region as a whole, the plans of the counties and cities within the region, the plans and planning activities of the State, Federal and other public agencies and nongovernmental agencies and organizations which affect or are concerned with planning and development within the region.

 (d)

The regional plan snail provide for attaining and maintaining Federal, State, or local air and water quality standards, whichever are strictest, in the respective portions of the region for which the standards are applicable.

The agency may, however, adopt air or water quality standards or control measures more stringent than the applicable State implementation plan or the applicable Federal, State, or local standards for the region, if it finds that such additional standards or control measures are necessary to achieve the purposes of this compact. Each element of the regional plan, where applicable, shall, by ordinance, identify the means and time schedule by which air and water quality standards will be attained.

 (e) Except for the Regional Transportation Plan of the California Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, the regional plan, ordinances, rules and regulations adopted by the California Tahoe Regional Planning Agency in effect on July 1, 1980, shall be the regional plan, ordinances, rules and regulations of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency for that portion of the Tahoe region located in the State of California. Such plan, ordinance, rule or regulation may be amended or repealed by the governing body of the agency. The plans, ordinances, rules and regulations of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency that do not conflict with, or are not addressed by, the California Tahoe Regional Planning Agency’s plans, ordinances, rules and regulations referred to in this subdivision shall continue to be applicable unless amended or repealed by the governing body of the agency. No provision of the regional plan, ordinances, rules and regulations of the California Tahoe Regional Planning Agency referred to in this subdivision shall apply to that portion of the region within the State of Nevada, unless such provision is adopted for the Nevada portion of the region by the governing body of the agency. (f) The regional plan, ordinances, rules and regulations of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency apply to that portion of the region within the State of Nevada. (g) The agency shall adopt ordinances prescribing specific written findings that the agency must make prior to approving any project in the region. These findings shall relate to environmental protection and shall insure that the project under review will not adversely affect implementation of the regional plan and will not cause the adopted environmental threshold carrying capacities of the region to be exceeded. (h) The agency shall maintain the data, maps and other information developed in the course of formulating and administering the 94 STAT. 3242regional plan, in a form suitable to assure a consistent view of developmental trends and other relevant information for the availability of and use by other agencies of government and by private organizations and individuals concerned. (i) Where necessary for the realization of the regional plan, the agency may engage in collaborative planning with local governmental jurisdictions located outside the region, but contiguous to its boundaries. In formulating and implementing the regional plan, the agency shall seek the cooperation and consider the recommendations of counties and cities and other agencies of local government, of State and Federal agencies, of educational institutions and research organizations, whether public or private, and of civic groups and private persons.
Article VI.—Agency’s Powers (a)

The governing body shall adopt all necessary ordinances, rules, and regulations to effectuate the adopted regional plan. Except as otherwise provided in this compact, every such ordinance, rule or regulation shall establish a minimum standard applicable throughout the region. Any political subdivision or public agency may adopt and enforce an equal or higher requirement applicable to the same subject of regulation in its territory. The regulations of the agency shall contain standards including but not limited to the following: Water purity and clarity; subdivision; zoning; tree removal; solid waste disposal; sewage disposal; land fills, excavations, cuts and grading; piers, harbors, breakwaters or channels and other shoreline developments; waste disposal in shoreline areas; waste disposal from boats; mobile-home parks; house relocation; outdoor advertising; flood plain protection; soil and sedimentation control; air pollution; and watershed protection. Whenever possible without diminishing the effectiveness of the regional plan, the ordinances, rules, regulations and policies shall be confined to matters which are general and regional in application, leaving to the jurisdiction of the respective States, counties and cities the enactment of specific and local ordinances, rules, regulations and policies which conform to the regional plan.

The agency shall prescribe by ordinance those activities which it has determined will not have substantial effect on the land, water, air, space or any other natural resources in the region and therefore will be exempt from its review and approval.

Every ordinance adopted by the agency shall be published at least once by title in a newspaper or combination of newspapers whose circulation is general throughout the region. Except an ordinance adopting or amending the regional plan, no ordinance shall become effective until 60 days after its adoption. Immediately after its adoption, a copy of each ordinance shall be transmitted to the governing body of each political subdivision having territory within the region.

 (b)

Projects, development.

No project other than those to be reviewed and approved under the special provisions of subdivisions (d), (e), (f) and (g) may be developed in the region without obtaining the review and approval of the agency and no project may be approved unless it is found to comply with the regional plan and with the ordinances, rules and regulations enacted pursuant to subdivision (a) to effectuate that plan. The agency may approve a project in the region only after making the written findings required by this subdivision or subdivision (g) of article V. Such findings shall be based on substantial evidence in the record.

94 STAT. 3243

Before adoption by the agency of the ordinances required in subdivision (g) of article V, the agency may approve a project in the region only after making written findings on the basis of substantial evidence in the record that the project is consistent with the regional plan then in effect and with applicable plans, ordinances, regulations, and standards of Federal and State agencies relating to the protection, maintenance and enhancement of environmental quality in the region.

 (c) The legislatures of the States of California and Nevada find that

Developmental work, temporary halt.

in order to make effective the regional plan as revised by the agency, it is necessary to halt temporarily works of development in the region which might otherwise absorb the entire capability of the region for further development or direct it out of harmony with the ultimate plan. Subject to the limitation provided in this subdivision, from the effective date of the amendments to this compact until the regional plan is amended pursuant to subdivision (c) of article V, or until May 1, 1983, whichever is earlier: (1) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, no new subdivision, planned unit development, or condominium project may be approved unless a complete tentative map or plan has been approved before the effective date of the amendments to this compact by all agencies having jurisdiction. The subdivision of land owned by a general improvement district, which existed and owned the land before the effective date of the amendments to this compact, may be approved if subdivision of the land is necessary to avoid insolvency of the district. (2) Except as provided in paragraph (3), no apartment building may be erected unless the required permits for such building have been secured from all agencies having jurisdiction, prior to the effective date of the amendments to this compact. (3)

During each of the calendar years 1980, 1981 and 1982, no city or county may issue building permits which authorize the construction of a greater number of new residential units within the region than were authorized within the region by building permits issued by that city or county during the calendar year 1978. For the period of January through April, 1983, building permits authorizing the construction of no more than one-third of that number may be issued by each such city or county. For purposes of this paragraph a “residential unit” means either a single family residence or an individual residential unit within a larger building, such as an apartment building, a duplex or a condominium.

The legislatures find the respective numbers of residential units

Residential unite, 1978.

authorized within the region during the calendar year 1978 to be as follows:

1. City of South Lake Tahoe and El Dorado County (combined) 252
2. Placer County 278
3. Carson City 0
4. Douglas County 339
5. Washoe County 739
(4)

During each of the calendar years 1980, 1981 and 1982, no city or county may issue building permits which authorize construction of a greater square footage of new commercial buildings within the region than were authorized within the region by building permits for commercial purposes issued by that city or county during the calendar year 1978. For the period of January through April, 1983, building permits authorizing the 94 STAT. 3244construction of no more than one-third the amount of that square footage may be issued by each such city or county.

Commercial buildings, 1978.

The legislatures find the respective square footages of commercial buildings authorized within the region during calendar year 1978 to be as follows:

1. City of South Lake Tahoe and El Dorado County (combined) 64,324
2. Placer County 23,000
3. Carson City 0
4. Douglas County 57,354
5. Washoe County 50,600
(5) No structure may be erected to house gaming under a nonrestricted license. (6) No facility for the treatment of sewage may be constructed or enlarged except: (A) To comply, as ordered by the appropriate State agency for the control of water pollution, with existing limitations of effluent under the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. §1251 et seq., and the applicable State law for control of water pollution; (B) To accommodate development which is not prohibited or limited by this subdivision; or (C) In the case of Douglas County Sewer District #1, to modify or otherwise alter sewage treatment facilities existing on the effective date of the amendments to this compact so that such facilities will be able to treat the total volume of effluent for which they were originally designed, which is 3.0 million gallons per day. Such modification or alteration is not a “project”; is not subject to the requirements of article VII; and does not require a permit from the agency. Before commencing such modification or alteration, however, the district shall submit to the agency its report identifying any significant soil erosion problems which may be caused by such modifications or alterations and the measures which the district proposes to take to mitigate or avoid such problems.

Highway construction.

The moratorium imposed by this subdivision does not apply to work done pursuant to a right vested before the effective date of the amendments to this compact. Notwithstanding the expiration date of the moratorium imposed by this subdivision, no new highway may be built or existing highway widened to accommodate additional continuous lanes for automobiles until the regional transportation plan is revised and adopted.

Parking garage, construction.

The moratorium imposed by this subdivision does not apply to the construction of any parking garage which has been approved by the agency prior to May 4, 1979, whether that approval was affirmative or by default. The provisions of this paragraph are not an expression of legislative intent that any such parking garage, the approval of which is the subject of litigation which was pending on the effective date of the amendments to this compact, should or should not be constructed. The provisions of this paragraph are intended solely to permit construction of such a parking garage if a judgment sustaining the agency’s approval to construct that parking garage has become final and no appeal is pending or may lawfully be taken to a higher court.

 (d)

Litigation.

Subject to the final order of any court of competent jurisdiction entered in litigation contesting the validity of an approval by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, whether that approval was affirmative or by default, if that litigation was pending on May 4, 1979, the 94 STAT. 3245agency and the States of California and Nevada shall recognize as a permitted and conforming use: (1) Every structure housing gaming under a nonrestricted license which existed as a licensed gaming establishment on May 4, 1979, or whose construction was approved by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency affirmatively or deemed approved before that date. The construction or use of any structure to house gaming under a nonrestricted license not so existing or approved, or the enlargement in cubic volume of any such existing or approved structure is prohibited. (2) Every other nonrestricted gaming establishment whose use was seasonal and whose license was issued before May 4, 1979, for the same season and for the number and type of games and slot machines on which taxes or fees were paid in the calendar year 1978. (3) Gaming conducted pursuant to a restricted gaming license issued before May 4, 1979, to the extent permitted by that license on that date. The area within any structure housing gaming under a nonrestricted license which may be open to public use (as distinct from that devoted to the private use of guests and exclusive of any parking area) is limited to the area existing or approved for public use on May 4, 1979. Within these limits, any external modification of the structure which requires a permit from a local government also requires approval from the agency. The agency shall not permit restaurants, convention facilities, showrooms or other public areas to be constructed elsewhere in the region outside the structure in order to replace areas existing or approved for public use on May 4, 1979. (e) Any structure housing licensed gaming may be rebuilt or replaced to a size not to exceed the cubic volume, height and land coverage existing or approved on May 4, 1979, without the review or approval of the agency or any planning or regulatory authority of the State of Nevada whose review or approval would be required for a new structure. (f) The following provisions apply to any internal or external

Structure housing gaming, modification.

modification, remodeling, change in use, or repair of a structure housing gaming under a nonrestricted license which is not prohibited by article VI(d): (1) The agency’s review of an external modification of the structure which requires a permit from a local government is limited to determining whether the external modification will do any of the following: (A) Enlarge the cubic volume of the structure; (B) Increase the total square footage of area open to one approved for public use on May 4, 1979; (C) Convert an area devoted to the private use of guests to an area open to public use; (D) Increase the public area open to public use which is used for gaming beyond the limits contained in paragraph (3); and (E) Conflict with or be subject to the provisions of any of the agency’s ordinances that are generally applicable throughout the region. The agency shall make this determination within 60 days after the proposal is delivered to the agency in compliance with the agency’s rules or regulations governing such delivery unless the applicant has agreed to an extension of this time limit. If an external modification is determined to have any of the effects 94 STAT. 3246enumerated in subparagraphs (A) through (C), it is prohibited. If an external modification is determined to have any of the effects enumerated in subparagraph (D) or (E), it is subject to the applicable provisions of this compact. If an external modification is determined to have no such effect, it is not subject to the provisions of this compact. (2) Except as provided in paragraph (3), internal modification, remodeling, change in use or repair of a structure housing gaming under a nonrestricted license is not a project and does not require the review or approval of the agency. (3) Internal modification, remodeling, change in use or repair of areas open to public use within a structure housing gaming under a nonrestricted license which alone or in combination with any other such modification, remodeling, change in use or repair will increase the total portion of those areas which is actually used for gaming by more than the product of the total base area, as defined below, in square feet existing on or approved before August 4, 1980, multiplied by 15 percent constitutes a project and is subject to all of the provisions of this compact relating to

Base area.

projects. For purposes of this paragraph and the determination required by article VI(g), base area means all of the area within a structure housing gaming under a nonrestricted license which may be open to public use, whether or not gaming is actually conducted or carried on in that area, except retail stores, convention centers and meeting rooms, administrative offices, kitchens, maintenance and storage areas, rest rooms, engineering and mechanical rooms, accounting rooms and counting rooms. (g)

Enforcement provisions.

In order to administer and enforce the provisions of paragraphs (d), (e) and (f), the State of Nevada, through its appropriate planning or regulatory agency, shall require the owner or licensee of a structure housing gaming under a nonrestricted license to provide: (1) Documents containing sufficient information for the Nevada agency to establish the following relative to the structure: (A) The location of its external walls; (B) Its total cubic volume; (C) Within its external walls, the area in square feet open or approved for public use and the area in square feet devoted to or approved for the private use of guests on May 4, 1979; (D) The amount of surface area of land under the structure; and (E) The base area as defined in paragraph (f)(3) in square feet existing on or approved before August 4, 1980. (2) An informational report whenever any internal modification, remodeling, change in use, or repair will increase the total portion of the areas open to public use which is used for gaming. The Nevada agency shall transmit this information to the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency. (h) Gaming conducted pursuant to a restricted gaming license is exempt from review by the agency if it is incidental to the primary use of the premises. (i) The provisions of subdivisions (d) and (e) are intended only to limit gaming and related activities as conducted within a gaming establishment, or construction designed to permit the enlargement of such activities, and not to limit any other use of property zoned for commercial use or the accommodation of tourists, as approved by the agency. 94 STAT. 3247 (j) Legal actions arising out of or alleging a violation of the

Violations.

provisions of this compact, of the regional plan or of an ordinance or regulation of the agency or of a permit or a condition of a permit issued by the agency are governed by the following provisions: (1) This subdivision applies to: (A) Actions arising out of activities directly undertaken by the agency. (B) Actions arising out of the issuance to a person of a lease, permit, license or other entitlement for use by the agency. (C) Actions arising out of any other act or failure to act by any person or public agency. Such legal actions may be filed and the provisions of this subdivision apply equally in the appropriate courts of California and Nevada and of the United States. (2) Venue lies: (A) If a civil or criminal action challenges an activity by the agency or any person which is undertaken or to be undertaken upon a parcel of real property, in the State or Federal judicial district where the real property is situated. (B) If an action challenges an activity which does not involve a specific parcel of land (such as an action challenging an ordinance of the agency), in any State or Federal court having jurisdiction within the region. (3) Any aggrieved person may file an action in an appropriate court of the States of California or Nevada or of the United States alleging noncompliance with the provisions of this compact or with an ordinance or regulation of the agency. In the case of

“Aggrieved person.”

governmental agencies, “aggrieved person” means the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency or any State, Federal or local agency. In the case of any person other than a governmental agency who challenges an action of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, “aggrieved person” means any person who has appeared, either in person, through an authorized representative, or in writing, before the agency at an appropriate administrative hearing to register objection to the action which is being challenged, or who had good cause for not making such an appearance. (4) A legal action arising out of the adoption or amendment of the regional plan or of any ordinance or regulation of the agency, or out of the granting or denial of any permit, shall be commenced within 60 days after final action by the agency. All other legal actions shall be commenced within 65 days after discovery of the cause of action. (5) In any legal action filed pursuant to this subdivision which challenges an adjudicatory act or decision of the agency to approve or disapprove a project, the scope of judicial inquiry shall extend only to whether there was prejudicial abuse of discretion. Prejudicial abuse of discretion is established if the agency has not proceeded in a manner required by law or if the act or decision of the agency was not supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. In making such a determination the court shall not exercise its independent judgment on evidence but shall only determine whether the act or decision was supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. In any legal action filed pursuant to this subdivision which challenges a legislative act or decision of the agency (such as the adoption of the regional plan and the enactment of implementing ordinances), the scope of the judicial inquiry shall 94 STAT. 3248extend only to the questions of whether the act or decision has been arbitrary, capricious or lacking substantial evidentiary support or whether the agency has failed to proceed in a manner required by law. (6) The provisions of this subdivision do not apply to any legal proceeding pending on the date when this subdivision becomes effective. Any such legal proceeding shall be conducted and concluded under the provisions of law which were applicable prior to the effective date of this subdivision. (7) The security required for the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction based upon an alleged violation of this compact or any ordinance, plan, rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto is governed by the rule or statute applicable to the court in which the action is brought, unless the action is brought by a public agency or political subdivision to enforce its own rules, regulations and ordinances in which case no security shall be required. (k)

Compliance.

The agency shall monitor activities in the region and may bring enforcement actions in the region to insure compliance with the regional plan and adopted ordinances, rules, regulations and policies. If it is found that the regional plan, or ordinances, rules, regulations and policies are not being enforced by a local jurisdiction, the agency may bring action in a court of competent jurisdiction to insure compliance. (l)

Penalties.

Any person who violates any provision of this compact or of any ordinance or regulation of the agency or of any condition of approval imposed by the agency is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $5,000. Any such person is subject to an additional civil penalty not to exceed $5,000 per day, for each day on which such a violation persists. In imposing the penalties authorized by this subdivision, the court shall consider the nature of the violation and shall impose a greater penalty if it was willful or resulted from gross negligence than if it resulted from inadvertence or simple negligence. (m)

Contracts and agreements.

The agency is hereby empowered to initiate, negotiate and participate in contracts and agreements among the local governmental authorities of the region, or any other intergovernmental contracts or agreements authorized by State or Federal law. (n) Each intergovernmental contract or agreement shall provide for its own funding and staffing, but this shall not preclude financial contributions from the local authorities concerned or from supplementary sources. (o)

Records.

Every record of the agency, whether public or not, shall be open for examination to the legislature and controller of the State of California and the legislative auditor of the State of Nevada. (p)

Project expiration.

Approval by the agency of any project expires 3 years after the date of final action by the agency or the effective date of the amendments to this compact, whichever is late, unless construction is begun within that time and diligently pursued thereafter, or the use or activity has commenced. In computing the 3-year period any period of time during which the project is the subject of a legal action which delays or renders impossible the diligent pursuit of that project shall not be counted. Any license, permit or certificate issued by the agency which has an expiration date shall be extended by that period of time during which the project is the subject of such legal action as provided in this subdivision. (q)

Real property list.

The governing body shall maintain a current list of real property known to be available for exchange with the United States 94 STAT. 3249or with other owners of real property in order to facilitate exchanges of real property by owners of real property in the region.
Article VII.—Environmental Impact Statements (a) The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency when acting upon matters that have a significant effect on the environment shall: (1) Utilize a systematic, interdisciplinary approach which will insure the integrated use of the natural and social sciences and the environmental design arts in planning and in decisionmaking which may have an impact on man’s environment; (2) Prepare and consider a detailed environmental impact statement before deciding to approve or carry out any project. The detailed environmental impact statement shall include the following: (A) The significant environmental impacts of the proposed project; (B) Any significant adverse environmental effects which cannot be avoided should the project be implemented; (C) Alternatives to the proposed project; (D) Mitigation measures which must be implemented to assure meeting standards of the region; (E) The relationship between local short-term uses of man’s environment and the maintenance and enhancement of long-term productivity; (F) Any significant irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources which would be involved in the proposed project should it be implemented; and (G) The growth-inducing impact of the proposed project; (3) Study, develop and describe appropriate alternatives to recommended courses of action for any project which involves unresolved conflicts concerning alternative uses of available resources; (4) Make available to States, counties, municipalities, institutions and individuals, advice and information useful in restoring, maintaining and enhancing the quality of the region’s environment; and (5) Initiate and utilize ecological information in the planning and development of resource-oriented projects.

Information, repetition.

article need not repeat in its entirety any information or data which is relevant to such a statement and is a matter of public record or is generally available to the public, such as information contained in an environmental impact report prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act or a Federal environmental impact statement prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. However, such information or data shall be briefly described in

42 USC 4321 note.

94 STAT. 3250the environmental impact statement and its relationship to the environmental impact statement shall be indicated.

In addition, any person may submit information relative to a proposed project which may be included, in whole or in part, in any environmental impact statement required by this article.

 (d)

Written findings.

In addition to the written findings specified by agency ordinance to implement the regional plan, the agency shall make either of the following written findings before approving a project for which an environmental impact statement was prepared: (1) Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into such project which avoid or reduce the significant adverse environmental effects to a less than significant level; or (2) Specific considerations, such as economic, social or technical, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives discussed in the environmental impact statement on the project. A separate written finding shall be made for each significant effect identified in the environmental impact statement on the project. All written findings must be supported by substantial evidence in the record. (e)

Fees.

The agency may charge and collect a reasonable fee from any person proposing a project subject to the provisions of this compact in order to recover the estimated costs incurred by the agency in preparing an environmental impact statement under this article. (f)

Exemptions.

The agency shall adopt by ordinance a list of classes of projects which the agency has determined will not have a significant effect on the environment and therefore will be exempt from the requirement for the preparation of an environmental impact statement under this article.

The States of Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas, pursuant to the acts of their respective Governors or legislatures, or both, being moved by considerations of interstate comity, have resolved to compact with respect to the water of the Red River and its tributaries. By Act of Congress, Public Law No. 346 (84th Congress, First Session), the consent of the United States has been granted for said States to negotiate and enter into a compact providing for an equitable apportionment of such water; and pursuant to that Act the President has designated the representative of the United States.

Further, the consent of Congress has been given for two or more States to negotiate and enter into agreements relating to water pollution control by the provisions of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Public Law 92–500,33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

The Signatory States acting through their duly authorized Compact Commissioners, after several years of negotiations, have agreed to an equitable apportionment of the water of the Red River and its tributaries and do hereby submit and recommend that this compact be adopted by the respective legislatures and approved by Congress as hereinafter set forth:

Article II general provisions
Section 2.01. Each Signatory State may use the water allocated to it by this Compact in any manner deemed beneficial by that state. Each state may freely administer water rights and uses in accordance with the laws of that state, but such uses shall be subject to the availability of water in accordance with the apportionments made by this Compact.
Section 2.02. The use of water by the United States in connection with any individual Federal project shall be in accordance with the Act of Congress authorizing the project and the water shall be charged to the state or states receiving the benefit therefrom.
Section 2.03. Any Signatory State using the channel of Red River or its tributaries to convey stored water shall be subject to an appropriate reduction in the amount which may be withdrawn at the point of removal to account for transmission losses.
Section 2.04. The failure of any state to use any portion of the water allocated to it shall not constitute relinquishment or forfeiture of the right to such use.
Section 2.05.

Section 2.06. Signatory States may cooperate to obtain construction of facilities of joint benefits to such states.
Section 2.07. Nothing in this Compact shall be deemed to impair or affect the powers, rights, or obligations of the United States, or those claiming under its authority, in, over and to water of the Red River Basin.
Section 2.08. Nothing in this Compact shall be construed to include within the water apportioned by this Compact any water consumed in each state by livestock or for domestic purposes: Provided, however, the storage of such water is in accordance with the laws of the respective states but any such impoundment shall not exceed 200 acre-feet, or such smaller quantity as may be provided for by the laws of each state.
Section 2.09. In the event any state shall import water into the Red River Basin from any other river basin, the Signatory State making the importation shall have the use of such imported water.
Section 2.10. Nothing in this Compact shall be deemed to: 94 STAT. 3307 (a) Interfere with or impair the right or power of any Signatory State to regulate within its boundaries the appropriation, use, and control of water, or quality of water, not inconsistent with its obligations under this Compact; (b) Repeal or prevent the enactment of any legislation or the enforcement of any requirement by any Signatory State imposing any additional conditions or restrictions to further lessen or prevent the pollution or natural deterioration of water within its jurisdiction; provided nothing contained in this paragraph shall alter any provision of this Compact dealing with the apportionment of water or the rights thereto; or (c) Waive any state’s immunity under the Eleventh Amendment

Waiver.

That this Act may be

Nuclear Safety Research, Development, and Demonstration Act of 1980.

42 USC 9701 note.

42 USC 9701.

cited as the “Nuclear Safety Research, Development, and Demonstration Act of 1980”.
findings and purpose Sec. 2. (a) The Congress finds that— (1) nuclear energy is one of the two major energy sources available for electric energy production in the United States during the balance of the twentieth century; (2) continued development of nuclear power is dependent upon maintaining an extremely high level of safety in the operation of nuclear plants, and on public recognition that these facilities do not constitute a significant threat to human health or safety; (3) it is the responsibility of utilities, as owners and operators of nuclear powerplants, to assure that such plants are designed and operated safely and reliably; and (4) a proper role of the Federal Government in assuring nuclear powerplant safety, in addition to its regulatory function, is the conduct of a research, development, and demonstration program to provide important scientific and technical information which can contribute to sound design and safe operation of these plants. (b) It is declared to be the policy of the United States and the purpose of this Act to establish a research, development, and demonstration program for developing practical improvements in the generic safety of nuclear powerplants during the next five years, beginning in the fiscal year 1981. The objectives of such program shall be— (1) to reduce the likelihood and severity of potentially serious nuclear powerplant accidents; and (2) to reduce the likelihood of disrupting the population in the vicinity of nuclear powerplants as the result of nuclear powerplant accidents. Nothing in this Act shall be construed as preventing the Secretary from undertaking projects or activities, in addition to those specified in this Act, which appropriately further the purpose and objectives set forth in this subsection. Nothing in this Act shall authorize the Secretary to assume responsibility for the management, cleanup or repair or any commercial nuclear powerplant. Nothing in this Act shall be construed as limiting the authority of the Secretary under any other law.
definitions Sec. 3. For purposes of this Act—

42 USC 9702.

 94 STAT. 3330 (1) the term “Secretary” means the Secretary of Energy; (2) the term “Government agency” means any department, agency, commission, or independent establishment in the executive branch of the Federal Government, or any corporation, wholly or partly owned by the United States, which is an instrumentality of the United States, or any board, bureau, division, service, office, officer, authority, administration, or other establishment in the executive branch of the Federal Government; (3) the term “Commission” means the Nuclear Regulatory Commission; and (4) the term “Advisory Committee” means the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards established by section 29 of the

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
establishment of research, development, and demonstration program for improving the safety of nuclear powerplants Sec. 4. (a)

42 USC 9703.

The Secretary shall establish a research, development, and demonstration program to carry out the purpose of this Act. As part of such program, the Secretary shall at a minimum— (1) refine further the assessment of risk factors associated with the generic design and operation of nuclear powerplants to determine the degree and consequences of propagation of failures of systems, subsystems, and components, including consideration of the interaction between the primary and secondary systems; (2) develop potentially cost-beneficial changes in the generic design and operation of nuclear powerplants that can (A) significantly reduce the risks from unintentional release of radioactive material from the various engineered barriers of nuclear powerplants and (B) reduce the radiation exposure to workers during plant operation and maintenance; (3) develop potentially cost-beneficial generic methods and designs that will significantly improve the performance of operators of nuclear powerplants under routine, abnormal, and accident conditions; (4) identify the effect of total or partial automation of generic plant systems on reactor safety, operation, reliability, economics, and operator performance; (5)

Experimental investigations.

conduct further experimental investigations under abnormal operational and postulated accident conditions primarily for light water reactors to determine the consequences of such conditions. These investigations shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (A) fuel failure at higher than standard burn-up levels; (B) fuel-cladding interactions; (C) fuel and cladding interactions with coolant under various temperatures and pressures; (D) thermohydraulic behavior in the reactor core; (E) mechanisms to suppress and control the generation of hydrogen gas; (F) improved instrumentation for monitoring reactor cores; (G) engineered-barrier failure modes; and (H) fission product release and transport from failed fuel; (6) provide for the examination and analysis of any nuclear powerplant fuel, component, or system which the Secretary 94 STAT. 3331deems to offer significant benefit in safety analysis and which is made available to the Secretary for a nominal cost, such as $1: Provided, however, That the Secretary shall accept only the number of samples of such fuel, component, or system necessary to carry out such examination and analysis; and (7) identify the aptitudes, training, and manning levels which are necessary to assure reliable operator performance under normal, abnormal, and emergency conditions. (b) In carrying out the generic safety research, development, and demonstration program established under this Act, the Secretary— (1) shall coordinate with the Commission and, to the extent necessary, enter into a new memorandum of understanding or revise existing memoranda for the purpose of eliminating unnecessary duplication and avoiding programmatic conflict with any reactor safety research program of the Commission, including the Improved Safety Systems Research program; (2) shall, to the extent practical, coordinate his activities with such other Government agencies, foreign governments, and industry as he deems appropriate to utilize their expertise, to minimize duplication of effort, and to ensure that information useful for improved concepts applicable to nuclear powerplant safety can be applied in a timely manner. The Secretary may enter into agreements and memoranda of understanding to accomplish these ends, but no such agreement shall have the effect of delaying the development and implementation of programs authorized under this Act; (3) shall utilize, to the extent feasible, underutilized federally owned research reactors and facilities, along with the associated personnel, to maintain existing capabilities and to ensure that the research is generic in nature; and (4) shall make such recommendations as are practical to minimize the complexity of nuclear powerplant systems, including secondary systems, and operations.
national reactor engineering simulator Sec. 5. (a) The Secretary, in consultation with the Commission and

42 USC 9704.

the Advisory Committee, shall initiate a study of the need for and feasibility of establishing a reactor engineering simulator facility at a national laboratory, for the primary purpose of fostering research in generic design improvements and simplifications through the simulation of the performance of various types of light water reactors under a wide variety of abnormal conditions and postulated accident conditions. (b) In performing the study, the Secretary shall consider relevant factors including, but not limited to— (1) the potential advantages that would accrue from the establishment of such a facility; (2) the extent to which such a facility would further the generic safety research and development program established by this Act; (3) the extent to which such a facility can be established by nongovernmental entities; (4) the opportunities for cost sharing by nongovernmental entities in the construction and operation of such a facility; (5) the importance of such a facility in emergencies to limit the extent of any future nuclear powerplant excursions; 94 STAT. 3332 (6) the potential for international cooperation in the establishment and operation of such a facility; and (7) the appropriate national laboratory for siting such a facility. (c)

Inland Navigational Rules Act of 1980.

33 USC 2001 note.

cited as the “Inland Navigational Rules Act of 1980”
Sec. 2. Inland Navigational Rules: PART A—GENERAL rule 1 Application (a) These Rules apply to all vessels upon the inland waters of the

33 USC 2001.

United States, and to vessels of the United States on the Canadian waters of the Great Lakes to the extent that there is no conflict with Canadian law. (b)(i) These Rules constitute special rules made by an appropriate authority within the meaning of Rule 1(b) of the International Regulations. (ii) All vessels complying with the construction and equipment requirements of the International Regulations are considered to be in compliance with these Rules. (c) Nothing in these Rules shall interfere with the operation of any special rules made by the Secretary of the Navy with respect to additional station or signal lights and shapes or whistle signals for ships of war and vessels proceeding under convoy, or by the Secretary with respect to additional station or signal lights and shapes for fishing vessels engaged in fishing as a fleet. These additional station or signal lights and shapes or whistle signals shall, so far as possible, be such that they cannot be mistaken for any light, shape, or signal authorized elsewhere under these Rules. Notice of such special rules shall be published in the Federal Register and, after the effective date specified in such notice, they shall have effect as if they were a part of these Rules. (d) Vessel traffic service regulations may be in effect in certain areas. (e) Whenever the Secretary determines that a vessel or class of vessels of special construction or purpose cannot comply fully with the provisions of any of these Rules with respect to the number, position, range, or arc of visibility of lights or shapes, as well as to the disposition and characteristics of sound-signaling appliances, without interfering with the special function of the vessel, the vessel shall comply with such other provisions in regard to the number, position, range, or arc of visibility of lights or shapes, as well as to the disposition and characteristics of sound-signaling appliances, as the Secretary shall have determined to be the closest possible compliance with these Rules. The Secretary may issue a certificate of alternative 94 STAT. 3416compliance for a vessel or class of vessels specifying the closest possible compliance with these Rules. The Secretary of the Navy shall make these determinations and issue certificates of alternative compliance for vessels of the Navy. (f) The Secretary may accept a certificate of alternative compliance issued by a contracting party to the International Regulations if he determines that the alternative compliance standards of the contracting party are substantially the same as those of the United States. rule 2 Responsibility (a)

33 USC 2002.

Nothing in these Rules shall exonerate any vessel, or the owner, master, or crew thereof, from the consequences of any neglect to comply with these Rules or of the neglect of any precaution which may be required by the ordinary practice of seamen, or by the special circumstances of the case. (b) In construing and complying with these Rules due regard shall be had to all dangers of navigation and collision and to any special circumstances, including the limitations of the vessels involved, which may make a departure from these Rules necessary to avoid immediate danger. rule 3 General Definitions

currently in force for the United States. PART B—STEERING AND SAILING RULES Subpart I—Conduct of Vessels in Any Condition of Visibility rule 4 Application Rules in this subpart apply in any condition of visibility.

33 USC 2004.

 94 STAT. 3418 rule 5 Look-out

33 USC 2005.

 Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper look-out by sight and hearing as well as by all available means appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions so as to make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision. rule 6 Safe Speed

33 USC 2006.

Every vessel shall at all times proceed at a safe speed so that she can take proper and effective action to avoid collision and be stopped within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions.

In determining a safe speed the following factors shall be among those taken into account:

 (a) By all vessels: (i) the state of visibility; (ii) the traffic density including concentration of fishing vessels or any other vessels; (iii) the maneuverability of the vessel with special reference to stopping distance and turning ability in the prevailing conditions; (iv) at night the presence of background light such as from shores lights or from back scatter of her own lights; (v) the state of wind, sea, and current, and the proximity of navigational hazards; (vi) the draft in relation to the available depth of water. (b) Additionally, by vessels with operational radar: (i) the characteristics, efficiency and limitations of the radar equipment; (ii) any constraints imposed by the radar range scale in use; (iii) the effect on radar detection of the sea state, weather, and other sources of interference; (iv) the possibility that small vessels, ice and other floating objects may not be detected by radar at an adequate range; (v) the number, location, and movement of vessels detected by radar; and (vi) the more exact assessment of the visibility that may be possible when radar is used to determine the range of vessels or other objects in the vicinity. rule 7 Risk of Collision (a)

33 USC 2007.

Every vessel shall use all available means appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions to determine if risk of collision exists. If there is any doubt such risk shall be deemed to exist. (b) Proper use shall be made of radar equipment if fitted and operational, including long-range scanning to obtain early warning of risk of collision and radar plotting or equivalent systematic observation of detected objects. 94 STAT. 3419 (c) Assumptions shall not be made on the basis of scanty information, especially scanty radar information. (d) In determining if risk of collision exists the following considerations shall be among those taken into account: (i) such risk shall be deemed to exist if the compass bearing of an approaching vessel does not appreciably change; and (ii) such risk may sometimes exist even when an appreciable bearing change is evident, particularly when approaching a very large vessel or a tow or when approaching a vessel at close range. rule 8 Action To Avoid Collision (a) Any action taken to avoid collision shall, if the circumstances of

33 USC 2008.

the case admit, be positive, made in ample time and with due regard to the observance of good seamanship. (b) Any alteration of course or speed to avoid collision shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, be large enough to be readily apparent to another vessel observing visually or by radar; a succession of small alterations of course or speed should be avoided. (c) If there is sufficient sea room, alteration of course alone may be the most effective action to avoid a close-quarters situation provided that it is made in good time, is substantial and does not result in another close-quarters situation. (d) Action taken to avoid collision with another vessel shall be such as to result in passing at a safe distance. The effectiveness of the action shall be carefully checked until the other vessel is finally past and clear. (e) If necessary to avoid collision or allow more time to assess the situation, a vessel shall slacken her speed or take all way off by stopping or reversing her means of propulsion. rule 9 Narrow Channels (a)(i) A vessel proceeding along the course of a narrow channel or

33 USC 2009.

fairway shall keep as near to the outer limit of the channel or fairway which lies on her starboard side as is safe and practicable. (ii) Notwithstanding paragraph (a)(i) and Rule 14(a), a power-driven vessel operating in narrow channels or fairways on the Great Lakes, Western Rivers, or waters specified by the Secretary, and proceeding downbound with a following current shall have the right-of-way over an upbound vessel, shall propose the manner and place of passage, and shall initiate the maneuvering signals prescribed by Rule 34(a)(i), as appropriate. The vessel proceeding upbound against the current shall hold as necessary to permit safe passing. (b) A vessel of less than 20 meters in length or a sailing vessel shall not impede the passage of a vessel that can safely navigate only within a narrow channel or fairway. (c) A vessel engaged in fishing shall not impede the passage of any other vessel navigating within a narrow channel or fairway. (d) A vessel shall not cross a narrow channel or fairway if such crossing impedes the passage of a vessel which can safely navigate only within that channel or fairway. The latter vessel shall use the danger signal prescribed in Rule 34(d) if in doubt as to the intention of the crossing vessel. 94 STAT. 3420 (e)(i) In a narrow channel or fairway when overtaking, the vessel intending to overtake shall indicate her intention by sounding the appropriate signal prescribed in Rule 34(c) and take steps to permit safe passing. The overtaken vessel, if in agreement, shall sound the same signal. If in doubt she shall sound the danger signal prescribed in Rule 34(d). (ii) This Rule does not relieve the overtaking vessel of her obligation under Rule 13. (f) A vessel nearing a bend or an area of a narrow channel or fairway where other vessels may be obscured by an intervening obstruction shall navigate with particular alertness and caution and shall sound the appropriate signal prescribed in Rule 34(e). (g) Every vessel shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, avoid anchoring in a narrow channel. rule 10 Vessel Traffic Services

33 USC 2010.

 Each vessel required by regulation to participate in a vessel traffic service shall comply with the applicable regulations. Subpart II—Conduct of Vessels in Sight of One Another rule 11 Application

33 USC 2011.

 Rules in this subpart apply to vessels in sight of one another. rule 12 Sailing Vessels (a)

33 USC 2012.

When two sailing vessels are approaching one another, so as to involve risk of collision, one of them shall keep out of the way of the other as follows: (i) when each has the wind on a different side, the vessel which has the wind on the port side shall keep out of the way of the other; (ii) when both have the wind on the same side, the vessel which is to windward shall keep out of the way of the vessel which is to leeward; and (iii) if a vessel with the wind on the port side sees a vessel to windward and cannot determine with certainty whether the other vessel has the wind on the port or on the starboard side, she shall keep out of the way of the other. (b) For the purpose of this Rule the windward side shall be deemed to be the side opposite to that on which the mainsail is carried or, in the case of a square-rigged vessel, the side opposite to that on which the largest fore-and-aft sail is carried. rule 13 Overtaking (a)

33 USC 2013.

Notwithstanding anything contained in Rules 4 through 18, any vessel overtaking any other shall keep out of the way of the vessel being overtaken. 94 STAT. 3421 (b) A vessel shall be deemed to be overtaking when coming up with another vessel from a direction more than 22.5 degrees abaft her beam; that is, in such a position with reference to the vessel she is overtaking, that at night she would be able to see only the sternlight of that vessel but neither of her sidelights. (c) When a vessel is in any doubt as to whether she is overtaking another, she shall assume that this is the case and act accordingly. (d) Any subsequent alteration of the bearing between the two vessels shall not make the overtaking vessel a crossing vessel within the meaning of these Rules or relieve her of the duty of keeping clear of the overtaken vessel until she is finally past and clear. rule 14 Head-on Situation (a) When two power-driven vessels are meeting on reciprocal or

33 USC 2014.

nearly reciprocal courses so as to involve risk of collision each shall alter her course to starboard so that each shall pass on the port side of the other. (b) Such a situation shall be deemed to exist when a vessel sees the other ahead or nearly ahead and by night she could see the masthead lights of the other in a line or nearly in a line or both sidelights and by day she observes the corresponding aspect of the other vessel. (c) When a vessel is in any doubt as to whether such a situation exists she shall assume that it does exist and act accordingly. rule 15 Crossing Situation (a) When two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to involve risk

33 USC 2015.

of collision, the vessel which has the other on her starboard side shall keep out of the way and shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel. (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), on the Great Lakes, Western Rivers, or water specified by the Secretary, a vessel crossing a river shall keep out of the way of a power-driven vessel ascending or descending the river. rule 16 Action by Give-Way Vessel Every vessel which is directed to keep out of the way of another

33 USC 2016.

vessel shall, so far as possible, take early and substantial action to keep well clear. rule 17 Action by Stand-on Vessel (a)(i) Where one of two vessels is to keep out of the way, the other

33 USC 2017.

shall keep her course and speed. (ii) The latter vessel may, however, take action to avoid collision by her maneuver alone, as soon as it becomes apparent to her that the vessel required to keep out of the way is not taking appropriate action in compliance with these Rules. (b) When, from any cause, the vessel required to keep her course and speed finds herself so close that collision cannot be avoided by the 94 STAT. 3422action of the give-way vessel alone, she shall take such action as will best aid to avoid collision. (c) A power-driven vessel which takes action in a crossing situation in accordance with subparagraph (a)(ii) of this Rule to avoid collision with another power-driven vessel shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, not alter course to port for a vessel on her own port side. (d) This Rule does not relieve the give-way vessel of her obligation to keep out of the way. rule 18 Responsibilities Between Vessels

33 USC 2018.

 Except where Rules 9, 10, and 13 otherwise require: (a) A power-driven vessel underway shall keep out of the way of: (i) a vessel not under command; (ii) a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver; (iii) a vessel engaged in fishing; and (iv) a sailing vessel. (b) A sailing vessel underway shall keep out of the way of: (i) a vessel not under command; (ii) a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver; and (iii) a vessel engaged in fishing. (c) A vessel engaged in fishing when underway shall, so far as possible, keep out of the way of: (i) a vessel not under command; and (ii) a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver. (d) A seaplane on the water shall, in general, keep well clear of all vessels and avoid impeding their navigation. In circumstances, however, where risk of collision exists, she shall comply with the Rules of this Part. Subpart III—Conduct of Vessels in Restricted Visibility rule 19 Conduct of Vessels in Restricted Visibility (a)

33 USC 2019.

This Rule applies to vessels not in sight of one another when navigating in or near an area of restricted visibility. (b) Every vessel shall proceed at a safe speed adapted to the prevailing circumstances and conditions of restricted visibility. A power-driven vessel shall have her engines ready for immediate maneuver. (c) Every vessel shall have due regard to the prevailing circumstances and conditions of restricted visibility when complying with Rules 4 through 10. (d) A vessel which detects by radar alone the presence of another vessel shall determine if a close-quarters situation is developing or risk of collision exists. If so, she shall take avoiding action in ample time, provided that when such action consists of an alteration of course, so far as possible the following shall be avoided: (i) an alteration of course to port for a vessel forward of the beam, other than for a vessel being overtaken; and (ii) an alteration of course toward a vessel abeam or abaft the beam. (e) Except where it has been determined that a risk of collision does not exist, every vessel which hears apparently forward of her beam the fog signal of another vessel, or which cannot avoid a close-94 STAT. 3423quarters situation with another vessel forward of her beam, shall reduce her speed to the minimum at which she can be kept on course. She shall if necessary take all her way off and, in any event, navigate with extreme caution until danger of collision is over. PART C—LIGHTS AND SHAPES rule 20 Application (a) Rules in this Part shall be complied with in all weathers.

33 USC 2020.

 (b) The Rules concerning lights shall be complied with from sunset to sunrise, and during such times no other lights shall be exhibited, except such lights as cannot be mistaken for the lights specified in these Rules or do not impair their visibility or distinctive character, or interfere with the keeping of a proper lookout.

(b) A vessel of less than 12 meters in length shall not be obliged to carry the sound signaling appliances prescribed in paragraph (a) of this Rule but if she does not, she shall be provided with some other means of making an efficient sound signal. rule 34 Maneuvering and Warning Signals (a)

33 USC 2034.

When power-driven vessels are in sight of one another and meeting or crossing at a distance within half a mile of each other, each vessel underway, when maneuvering as authorized or required by these Rules: (i) shall indicate that maneuver by the following signals on her whistle: one short blast to mean “I intend to leave you on my port side”; two short blasts to mean “I intend to leave you on my starboard side”; and three short blasts to mean “I am operating astern propulsion”. (ii) upon hearing the one or two blast signal of the other shall, if in agreement, sound the same whistle signal and take the steps necessary to effect a safe passing. If, however, from any cause, the vessel doubts the safety of the proposed maneuver, she shall sound the danger signal specified in paragraph (d) of this Rule and each vessel shall take appropriate precautionary action until a safe passing agreement is made. (b) A vessel may supplement the whistle signals prescribed in paragraph (a) of this Rule by light signals: (i) These signals shall have the following significance: one flash to mean “I intend to leave you on my port side”; two flashes to mean “I intend to leave you on my starboard side”; three flashes to mean “I am operating astern propulsion”; (ii) The duration of each flash shall be about 1 second; and (iii) The light used for this signal shall, if fitted, be one all-round white or yellow light, visible at a minimum range of 2 miles, synchronized with the whistle, and shall comply with the provisions of Annex I to these Rules. (c) When in sight of one another: (i) a power-driven vessel intending to overtake another power-driven vessel shall indicate her intention by the following signals on her whistle: one short blast to mean “I intend to overtake you on your starboard side”; two short blasts to mean “I intend to overtake you on your port side”; and 94 STAT. 3431 (ii) the power-driven vessel about to be overtaken shall, if in agreement, sound a similar sound signal. If in doubt she shall sound the danger signal prescribed in paragraph (d). (d) When vessels in sight of one another are approaching each other and from any cause either vessel fails to understand the intentions or actions of the other, or is in doubt whether sufficient action is being taken by the other to avoid collision, the vessel in doubt shall immediately indicate such doubt by giving at least five short and rapid blasts on the whistle. This signal may be supplemented by a light signal of at least five short and rapid flashes. (e) A vessel nearing a bend or an area of a channel or fairway where other vessels may be obscured by an intervening obstruction shall sound one prolonged blast. This signal shall be answered with a prolonged blast by any approaching vessel that may be within hearing around the bend or behind the intervening obstruction. (f) If whistles are fitted on a vessel at a distance apart of more than 100 meters, one whistle only shall be used for giving maneuvering and warning signals. (g) When a power-driven vessel is leaving a dock or berth, she shall sound one prolonged blast. (h) A vessel that reaches agreement with another vessel in a meeting, crossing, or overtaking situation by using the radiotelephone as prescribed by the Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Act (85 Stat. 165; 33 U.S.C. 1207), is not obliged to sound the whistle signals prescribed by this Rule, but may do so. If agreement is not reached, then whistle signals shall be exchanged in a timely manner and shall prevail. rule 35 Sound Signals in Restricted VisibilityIn or near an area of restricted visibility, whether by day or night,

33 USC 2035.

the signals prescribed in this Rule shall be used as follows: (a) A power-driven vessel making way through the water shall sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes one prolonged blast. (b) A power-driven vessel underway but stopped and making no way through the water shall sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes two prolonged blasts in succession with an interval of about 2 seconds between them. (c) A vessel not under command; a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver, whether underway or at anchor; a sailing vessel; a vessel engaged in fishing, whether underway or at anchor; and a vessel engaged in towing or pushing another vessel shall, instead of the signals prescribed in paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Rule, sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes, three blasts in succession; namely, one prolonged followed by two short blasts. (d) A vessel towed or if more than one vessel is towed the last vessel of the tow, if manned, shall at intervals of not more than 2 minutes sound four blasts in succession; namely, one prolonged followed by three short blasts. When practicable, this signal shall be made immediately after the signal made by the towing vessel. (e) When a pushing vessel and a vessel being pushed ahead are rigidly connected in a composite unit they shall be regarded as a power-driven vessel and shall give the signals prescribed in paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Rule. (f) A vessel at anchor shall at intervals of not more than 1 minute ring the bell rapidly for about 5 seconds. In a vessel of 100 meters or more in length the bell shall be sounded in the forepart of the vessel 94 STAT. 3432and immediately after the ringing of the bell the gong shall be sounded rapidly for about 5 seconds in the after part of the vessel. A vessel at anchor may in addition sound three blasts in succession; namely, one short, one prolonged and one short blast, to give warning of her position and of the possibility of collision to an approaching vessel. (g) A vessel aground shall give the bell signal and if required the gong signal prescribed in paragraph (f) of this Rule and shall, in addition, give three separate and distinct strokes on the bell immediately before and after the rapid ringing of the bell. A vessel aground may in addition sound an appropriate whistle signal. (h) A vessel of less than 12 meters in length shall not be obliged to give the above-mentioned signals but, if she does not, shall make some other efficient sound signal at intervals of not more than 2 minutes. (i) A pilot vessel when engaged on pilotage duty may in addition to the signals prescribed in paragraphs (a), (b) or (f) of this Rule sound an identity signal consisting of four short blasts. (j) The following vessels shall not be required to sound signals as prescribed in paragraph (f) of this Rule when anchored in a special anchorage area designated by the Secretary: (i) a vessel of less than 20 meters in length; and (ii) a barge, canal boat, scow, or other nondescript craft. rule 36 Signals To Attract Attention

33 USC 2036.

 If necessary to attract the attention of another vessel, any vessel may make light or sound signals that cannot be mistaken for any signal authorized elsewhere in these Rules, or may direct the beam of her searchlight in the direction of the danger, in such a way as not to embarrass any vessel. rule 37 Distress Signals

33 USC 2037.

 When a vessel is in distress and requires assistance she shall use or exhibit the signals described in Annex IV to these Rules. PART E—EXEMPTIONS rule 38 Exemptions

An Act To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 with respect to net operating loss carryovers of taxpayers who cease to be real estate investment trusts, to increase interest rates on certain United States retirement bonds, and for other purposes.

Dec. 24, 1980

[H.R. 4968]

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Internal Revenue Code of 1954, amendment.
SECTION 1. NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYOVER FOR CERTAIN REITS. (a) In General.—Subparagraph (E) of section 172(b)(1) of the

26 USC 172.

Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (relating to net operating loss deduction) is amended to read as follows: “(E)(i) A net operating loss for a REIT year— “(I) shall not be a net operating loss carryback to any taxable year preceding the taxable year of such loss, and “(II) shall be a net operating loss carryover to each of the 8 taxable years following the taxable year of such loss. “(ii) In the case of any net operating loss for a taxable year which is not a REIT year— “(I) such loss shall not be carried back to any taxable year which is a REIT year, and “(II) the number of taxable years to which such loss may be a net operating loss carryover under subparagraph (B) shall be increased (to a number not greater than 8) by the number of taxable years to which such loss may not be a net operating loss carryback by reason of subclause (I). “(iii)

“REIT year.”

For purposes of this subparagraph, the term ‘REIT year’ means any taxable year for which the provisions of part II of subchapter M (relating to real estate investment trusts) apply to the taxpayer.”. (b)

26 USC 172 note.

 Effective Date.—The amendment made by subsection (a) shall apply to the determination of the net operating loss deduction for taxable years ending after October 4, 1976. For purposes of applying the preceding sentence to any net operating loss for a taxable year which is not a REIT year and which ends on or before October 4, 1976, subclause (II) of section 172(b)(1)(E)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code of

26 USC 172.

1954 shall be applied by substituting “the number of REIT years to which such loss was a net operating loss carryback” for “the number of taxable years to which such loss may not be a net operating loss carryback by reason of subclause (I)”. In the case of a net operating loss for a taxable year described in the preceding sentence, subclause (II) of section 172(b)(1)(E)(ii) of such Code shall not apply to any taxpayer which acted so as to cause it to cease to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” within the meaning of section 856 of such

26 USC 856.

Code if the principal purpose for such action was to secure the benefit of the allowance of a net operating loss carryover under section 172(b)(1)(B) of such Code.

26 USC 405, 409.

retirement plan bonds and individual retirement bonds, respectively) be increased for the interest accrual periods specified in such regulations so that the investment yield on such bonds for such periods is consistent with the investment yield on new offerings of such bonds.”.

 (b) Effective Date.—The amendment made by subsection (a) shall

31 USC 752 note.

apply with respect to the investment yield on bonds issued before, on, or after the date of the enactment of this Act, but only for purposes of increasing the investment yield on such bonds for interest accrual periods beginning after the date of enactment of this Act.

(a) The Congress finds that— (1) there is a large and growing number of cases annually involving disputes between persons claiming rights of custody and visitation of children under the laws, and in the courts, of different States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the territories and possessions of the United States; (2) the laws and practices by which the courts of those jurisdictions determine their jurisdiction to decide such disputes, and the effect to be given the decisions of such disputes by the courts of other jurisdictions, are often inconsistent and conflicting; (3) those characteristics of the law and practice in such cases, along with the limits imposed by a Federal system on the authority of each such jurisdiction to conduct investigations and94 STAT. 3569 take other actions outside its own boundaries, contribute to a tendency of parties involved in such disputes to frequently resort to the seizure, restraint, concealment, and interstate transportation of children, the disregard of court orders, excessive relitigation of cases, obtaining of conflicting orders by the courts of various jurisdictions, and interstate travel and communication that is so expensive and time consuming as to disrupt their occupations and commercial activities; and (4) among the results of those conditions and activities are the failure of the courts of such jurisdictions to give full faith and credit to the judicial proceedings of the other jurisdictions, the deprivation of rights of liberty and property without due process of law, burdens on commerce among such jurisdictions and with foreign nations, and harm to the welfare of children and their parents and other custodians. (b) For those reasons it is necessary to establish a national system

National system of locating parents and children, establishment.

 for locating parents and children who travel from one such jurisdiction to another and are concealed in connection with such disputes, and to establish national standards under which the courts of such jurisdictions will determine their jurisdiction to decide such disputes and the effect to be given by each such jurisdiction to such decisions by the courts of other such jurisdictions. (c) The general purposes of sections 6 to 10 of this Act are to— (1) promote cooperation between State courts to the end that a determination of custody and visitation is rendered in the State which can best decide the case in the interest of the child; (2) promote and expand the exchange of information and other forms of mutual assistance between States which are concerned with the same child; (3) facilitate the enforcement of custody and visitation decrees of sister States; (4) discourage continuing interstate controversies over child custody in the interest of greater stability of home environment and of secure family relationships for the child; (5) avoid jurisdictional competition and conflict between State courts in matters of child custody and visitation which have in the past resulted in the shifting of children from State to State with harmful effects on their well-being; and (6) deter interstate abductions and other unilateral removals of children undertaken to obtain custody and visitation awards.
full faith and credit given to child custody determinations Sec. 8. (a) Chapter 115 of title 28, United States Code, is amended by adding immediately after section 1738 the following new section:

Periods of temporary absence of any of such persons are counted as part of the six-month or other period; “(5) ‘modification’ and ‘modify’ refer to a custody determination which modifies, replaces, supersedes, or otherwise is made subsequent to, a prior custody determination concerning the same child, whether made by the same court or not; “(6) ‘person acting as a parent’ means a person, other than a parent, who has physical custody of a child and who has either been awarded custody by a court or claims a right to custody; “(7) ‘physical custody’ means actual possession and control of a child; and “(8) ‘State’ means a State of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or a territory or possession of the United States. “(c) A child custody determination made by a court of a State is consistent with the provisions of this section only if— “(1) such court has jurisdiction under the law of such State; and “(2) one of the following conditions is met: “(A) such State (i) is the home State of the child on the date of the commencement of the proceeding, or (ii) had been the child’s home State within six months before the date of the commencement of the proceeding and the child is absent from such State because of his removal or detention by a contestant or for other reasons, and a contestant continues to live in such State; “(B) (i) it appears that no other State would have jurisdiction under subparagraph (A), and (ii) it is in the best interest of the child that a court of such State assume jurisdiction because (I) the child and his parents, or the child and at least one contestant, have a significant connection with such State other than mere physical presence in such State, and (II) there is available in such State substantial evidence concerning the child’s present or future care, protection, training, and personal relationships; “(C) the child is physically present in such State and (i) the child has been abandoned, or (ii) it is necessary in an emergency to protect the child because he has been subjected to or threatened with mistreatment or abuse; “(D) (i) it appears that no other State would have jurisdiction under subparagraph (A), (B), (C), or (E), or another State has declined to exercise jurisdiction on the ground that the State whose jurisdiction is in issue is the more appropriate forum to determine the custody of the child, and (ii) it is in the best interest of the child that such court assume jurisdiction; or “(E) the court has continuing jurisdiction pursuant to subsection (d) of this section. “(d) The jurisdiction of a court of a State which has made a child custody determination consistently with the provisions of this section continues as long as the requirement of subsection (c)(1) of this 94 STAT. 3571 section continues to be met and such State remains the residence of the child or of any contestant. “(e) Before a child custody determination is made, reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard shall be given to the contestants, any parent whose parental rights have not been previously terminated and any person who has physical custody of a child. “(f) A court of a State may modify a determination of the custody of the same child made by a court of another State, if— “(1) it has jurisdiction to make such a child custody determination; and “(2) the court of the other State no longer has jurisdiction, or it has declined to exercise such jurisdiction to modify such determination. “(g) A court of a State shall not exercise jurisdiction in any proceeding for a custody determination commenced during the pendency of a proceeding in a court of another State where such court of that other State is exercising jurisdiction consistently with the provisions of this section to make a custody determination.”.

 Whereas the Government of the Kingdom of Thailand has demonstrated to the world its humanitarian convictions by opening its borders and providing asylum and assistance to the Khmer people who have been victims of war, famine, and oppression in Kampuchea; Whereas the international community owes a great debt of gratitude to the Government of the Kingdom of Thailand for its com-passionate actions on behalf of the Khmer people; Whereas hundreds of thousands of Khmer have fled their homes in Kampuchea seeking security, food, and medical assistance; Whereas many of these refugees have settled temporarily in encampments along the border between Thailand and Kampuchea where food, water, and medical care have been made available to them; Whereas the security of the refugees in these encampments is continually threatened because of the unrest and the lack of an international presence in that border area; Whereas armed conflict within these encampments has forced many refugees, often in fragile physical condition, to flee in fear for their physical safety; Whereas food which is being provided by international organizations for humanitarian relief to refugees in these encampments may not be reaching those with the greatest need because of a lack of supervision of its distribution; Whereas the Government of the Kingdom of Thailand has requested the United Nations to provide international observers in the area of the border between Thailand and Kampuchea, but no action has been taken; and Whereas the international community, acting through the United Nations, has an obligation to provide such assistance to the Government of the Kingdom of Thailand as may be necessary in sup-port of its efforts on behalf of the Khmer people: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),
That it is the sense of the Congress that the President, acting through the Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations, should request the United Nations to establish under its auspices an international presence in the encampments of Khmer refugees along the border between the Kingdom of Thailand and Kampuchea for the purposes of— (1) promoting security and stability for the refugees in encampments along the border between Thailand and Kampuchea; (2) overseeing the distribution of food and water to insure that they are equitably distributed to those refugees for whom they are intended; (3) demonstrating that the assistance which is being provided to refugees in such encampments by the United Nations and other international agencies is solely for humanitarian purposes; and (4) encouraging all nations in the region to respect the use of the border area between Thailand and Kampuchea as a sanctuary for those Khmer who are in need of humanitarian assistance.

31 USC 1351.

the Budget Act first effective in fiscal year 1981— which exceeds the appropriate allocation or subdivision made pursuant to section 302 of such Act shall be enrolled until after Congress has completed action on the second concurrent resolution on the budget required to be reported under section 310 of such Act, and on any reconciliation legislation required by such resolution. Action on such resolution should be completed not later than August 28, 1980. (b) Subsection (a) shall not apply to bills and resolutions for which a conference report has been filed in either House prior to final adoption by both Houses of this resolution.
Sec. 9.

Action on such resolution should be completed not later than August 28, 1980. (b) After Federal revenues for fiscal year 1981 have been reduced by enacted bills and resolutions totaling $100,000,000, no other bill or resolution which would reduce revenues in such fiscal year shall be enrolled until after Congress has completed action on the second 94 STAT. 3667 concurrent resolution on the budget, and on any reconciliation legislation required by such resolution.

 enrolled.
Sec. 10. There is established a Congressional Federal Credit Budget for fiscal year 1981. (a) The appropriate levels of total Federal credit activity for fiscal year 1981 are: (1) New direct loan obligations, $63,900,000,000; (2) New primary loan guarantee commitments, $79,600,000,000. (b) It is the sense of the Congress that the President and the Congress, through the appropriations process, should limit in fiscal year 1981 the off-budget lending activity of the Federal Government to a level not to exceed $25,800,000,000; the on-budget lending activity to a level not to exceed $38,100,000,000; and new primary loan guarantee commitments to a level not to exceed $79,600,000,000.
Sec. 11.

It is the sense of the Senate that due to the extreme rate of inflation in the United States economy, the possible inflationary effects of Federal regulations and legislation shall be carefully monitored as part of this program of fiscal restraint. Inflationary effects should therefore be a prime consideration in developing both regulations and legislation. In order to coordinate the aggregate economic impact of regulations with Federal fiscal policy, it is the sense of the Senate that the President should implement a “zero net inflation impact” policy for the Federal regulations promulgated in the remainder of fiscal year 1980 and fiscal year 1981. This policy will require the President to keep an accounting for fiscal years 1980 and 1981 of all new regulations which have a significant, measurable cost to the economy. The aggregate net increase in costs or price effects of new regulations would have to be offset by modifications to existing regulations which reduce the costs or price effects by at least that amount in fiscal years 1980 and 1981, as well as subsequent fiscal years. The cost-saving modifications need not affect the same area of economic activity as the cost-inducing regulations. The President should institute an exemption procedure to assure the promulgation of regulations necessary to avert any imminent threat to health and safety.

It is also the sense of the Senate that the Director of the Congressional Budget Office should issue a periodic “inflation scorekeeping” report which shall contain an estimate of the positive or negative inflationary effects, wherever measurable, of legislation enacted to date in the current session of Congress. The report shall also indicate for each bill, promptly after it is reported by a committee of Congress, whether:

 (1) it is judged to have no significant positive or negative impact on inflation; (2) it is judged to have a positive or negative inflationary impact on the amount specified in terms of both dollar amounts and change in the Consumer Price Index; and (3) it is judged likely to have a significant positive or negative impact on inflation, but the amount cannot be determined immediately.
Sec. 12. Congress calls upon the President to review current inflation measures used for indexing Federal programs, as well as other indexing alternatives, to report to Congress by November 30, 94 STAT. 36681980, those conclusions and recommendations resulting from this review, and to reflect those conclusions in the President’s budget and legislative proposals for fiscal year 1982.
Sec. 13. It is the sense of the Congress that the President should direct agencies not to increase the rate of obligation of fiscal year 1980 budget authority in advance of anticipated rescission actions.
Agreed to June 12, 1980.

94 STAT. 3669 AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE AND TRUCK INDUSTRY-CONGRESSIONAL SUPPORT

June 24, 1980

[H. Con. Res. 101]

 Whereas, the American automobile and truck industry produces one million seven hundred and fifty thousand jobs, or one out of every twelve manufacturing jobs in the United States and also supports thousands of jobs in other key industries such as steel, rubber, glass, plastics, aluminum, copper, malleable iron, textiles and electronics; and Whereas, the American automobile and truck industry is a major customer for fifty thousand small and medium size businesses located in every State, and a healthy and strong domestic auto-mobile industry is necessary to the livelihood of twenty-seven thousand domestic auto dealers; and Whereas, the domestic automobile manufacturers have undertaken an all-out effort to retool facilities for the production of small, fuel efficient autos and trucks in response to the sudden and unprecedented shift in consumer demand that occurred in 1979; and Whereas, in the spirit of free trade, the United States has provided an open door to automobile and truck imports regardless of domestic content while most other countries including Japan have virtually closed their auto markets to United States produced vehicles through local content requirements, tariffs, or elaborate and indirect taxes; and Whereas, Japanese automobile manufacturers, confronted with slack Japanese demand and tight import restrictions in other countries, have increased overtime and added auto production capacity in Japan in a massive effort to expand auto exports to the United States, raising their market share from 12 per centum in 1978 to over 21 per centum in the first quarter of 1980 with an eventual market target of 30 per centum or greater; and Whereas, the United States incurred an auto trade deficit with Japan of more than $9,000,000,000 in 1979 with estimates that the deficit will exceed $10,000,000,000 in auto and truck trade in 1980, thereby worsening inflation in the United States; and Whereas, the massive unemployment resulting from the decline in United States auto production has imposed major costs on Federal, State, and local governments across the country in the form of trade adjustment assistance, unemployment benefits, social services, and large losses in tax revenues; and Whereas, the present economic difficulty in the American auto-mobile and truck industry results from more than a downturn in the business cycle, is not self-correcting and threatens to inflict lasting structural deterioration and dislocation on the industrial base of the United States: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),
That— (1) it is a goal of the United States to achieve technological superiority in the world automobile and truck industry; and (2) the American automobile and truck industry is a strategic national industry that is essential to the economic stability and national security of the United States; and (3) economic, fiscal, and import policies should be designed to create adequate capital and to produce a climate for the American automobile and truck industry to achieve a rapid conversion of plant capacity to the production of increasingly safe, high 94 STAT. 3670 quality, fuel efficient automobiles and trucks; and, in addition, the Administration and the Congress should review regulatory and import policies to assess their possible effect on the efforts of United States industry to retool for lighter, fuel efficient cars; and (4) it is in the national interest of the United States to reduce substantially the high level of unemployment in the automobile, truck, and related industries; and the Congress therefore calls on the Administration, foreign governments, foreign and domestic manufacturers and affected labor unions to take immediate steps to alleviate short-range unemployment in the United States and to encourage these basic industries to build United States employment for the future; and (5) during this period of transition for the United States auto industry, reasonable restraint should be exercised by all affected parties with respect to prices and wages so as not to place an undue burden on American consumers.

S. Con. Res. 104: ALASKA NATURAL GAS TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM Senate Concurrent Resolution 104 July 1, 1980
ALASKA NATURAL GAS TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

July 1, 1980

[S. Con. Res. 104]

 Whereas, the Alaska Natural Gas Transportation System is a critically important energy project that will tap Alaska’s North Slope natural gas reserves which constitute more than 10 percent of this Nation’s entire proven natural gas reserves; Whereas, the System, when complete, will supply the United States with 5 percent of its annual natural gas demand, displacing over four hundred thousand barrels of oil, thereby greatly reducing this Nation’s excessive dependence on foreign oil; Whereas, the Congress has already expressed its overwhelming support for the System in approving by joint resolution the President’s 1977 Decision on the Alaska Natural Gas Transportation System; Whereas, a portion of the System known as prebuild can be constructed by the end of 1981 to bring Canadian gas to this Nation until the entire System is complete in 1985; Whereas, prebuild will contribute to completion of the entire System by spreading demand for capital, labor and materials over several years, and will enable this Nation to obtain Canadian natural gas to displace two hundred thousand barrels of foreign oil a day; Whereas, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued decisions granting certificates for the prebuild facilities in the United States; Whereas, the sponsors of the Alaskan segment of the System and the North Slope natural gas producers have entered into an agreement to fund and manage jointly the design, engineering and cost estimation for the Alaskan segment and have made a joint Statement of Intention to work to develop a financing plan for the Alaskan segment with the object of completing construction by the end of 1985: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),
That it is the sense of the Congress that the System remains an 94 STAT. 3671essential part of securing this Nation’s energy future and, as such, enjoys the highest level of congressional support for its expeditious construction and completion by the end of 1985.

 Whereas August 1, 1980, marks the fifth anniversary of the signing of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) by the United States, Canada and thirty-three European nations at Helsinki, Finland; and Whereas the signatories to the Helsinki Final Act committed them-selves to “respect human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief, for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion”; and Whereas Principle VII of the Fined Act specifically confirms the “right of the individual to know and act upon his rights and duties” in the field of human rights and Principle IX confirms the “relevant and positive role” organizations and persons can play in contributing toward the achievement of cooperation among states; and Whereas citizens of many signatory nations have formed public groups to monitor and promote full implementation of the Final Act; and Whereas these monitoring groups have documented extensive violations of human rights in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, and other CSCE signatories; and Whereas the governments of the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, and other countries have imprisoned, exiled, or otherwise punished members of these monitoring groups; and Whereas the representatives of these thirty-five signatories to the Helsinki Final Act will be meeting in Madrid on November 11, 1980, to review implementation and to discuss new measures to advance European cooperation and security; and Whereas respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms is in-dispensable for the development of genuine security and cooperation among signatory states: Now, therefore be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),

That the Congress reaffirms its support for full implementation of all the provisions of the Helsinki Final Act by all the signatories; and be it further

Resolved, That to preserve the integrity of the CSCE process and to ensure full consideration of human rights issues, any new measures agreed upon at Madrid, including post-Madrid experts’ meetings, should be balanced among all sections of the Final Act; and be it further

Resolved, That the United States delegation should seek a continuation of the CSCE process by working at the Madrid meeting on setting the time and place of the next review meeting within two years; and be it ftirther

94 STAT. 3679 RAOUL WALLENBERGHONORED FOR HIS WORK IN HUNGARY DURING WORLD WAR II

Nov. 19, 1980

[H. Con. Res. 434]

 Whereas in January 1944 the War Refugee Board was established by the United States to organize rescue operations to free per-sons being persecuted during World War II; Whereas the War Refugee Board requested Sweden to send a representative to Hungary; Whereas the Swedish representative, Raoul Wallenberg, is considered responsible for having saved the lives of twenty thousand Jewish citizens in Hungary through the issuance of protective Swedish passports beginning in July 1944; Whereas Raoul Wallenberg is recognized as saving indirectly the lives of an additional seventy thousand Jewish citizens in Hungary through collaborative efforts in the latter half of 1944 with neutralist representatives in Budapest and the Jewish Community in Hungary; Whereas Raoul Wallenberg was taken into Soviet “protective custody” on January 13, 1945, in violation of international standards of diplomatic immunity; Whereas Soviet officials originally denied having custody of Wallenberg, but subsequently stated that a prisoner named “Wallenberg” died in a Soviet prison on July 17, 1947; Whereas in 1949 he was nominated by Albert Einstein for the Nobel Peace Prize; Whereas reports from the Soviet Union, as recent as May 1, 1978, suggest that Raoul Wallenberg is alive; Whereas the continued internment of Wallenberg, if indeed he is still alive, is in direct contravention of the Final Act of the Helsinki Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe which requires signatories to “fulfill in good faith their obligations under international law”; and Whereas the Madrid Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, to be held on November 11, 1980, provides an occasion to discuss the status of Raoul Wallenberg with the Soviet Government as part of the review of the Helsinki Final Act; Whereas documents released by the Swedish Foreign Ministry in January 1980 indicate diplomatic efforts by the Swedish Government have not fully clarified the status of Raoul Wallenberg: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),

That the Congress honors Raoul Wallenberg for his outstanding work on behalf of those persecuted in Hungary during World War II, and it is the sense of Congress that the United States delegation to the review meeting of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe which will be held in Madrid in November 1980 should urge that the case of Raoul Wallenberg be considered at that meeting by the signatory countries to the Final Act of the Helsinki Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe; and be it further

Resolved, That the Congress requests the Department of State to take all possible steps to discern from the Soviet Union the whereabouts of Raoul Wallenberg and, if he is alive, to secure his return to his native country.

general provisions Sec. 5. There is established a Congressional Federal Credit Budget for fiscal year 1981. (a) The appropriate levels of total Federal credit activity for fiscal year 1981 are: (1) New direct loan obligations, $73,500,000,000; (2) New primary loan guarantee commitments, $82,800,000,000; (3) New secondary loan guarantee commitments, $53,000,000,000. (b) It is the sense of the Congress that the President and the Congress, through the appropriations process, should limit in fiscal year 1981 the off-budget lending activity of the Federal Government to a level not to exceed $28,900,000,000, the on-budget lending activity to a level not to exceed $44,600,000,000, new primary loan guarantee commitments to a level not to exceed $82,800,000,000, and new secondary loan guarantee commitments to a level not to exceed $53,000,000,000.
Sec. 6. The Congress recognizes that (other than for certain minor changes adopted at the start of the Ninety-sixth Congress as revisions to the rules of the House) there have been no changes to the Budget Act of 1974. It is the sense of the Congress that after six years of

31 USC 1331 note.

 experience under the Budget Act, the time is right for considering revisions and modifications to the Budget Act so as to improve the congressional budget process. Accordingly, the Congress believes that a review of the Budget Act and the congressional budget process should be undertaken without delay.
Sec. 7. Pursuant to section 310 of the Budget Act, it shall not be in

31 USC 1331.

 order in either the House of Representatives or the Senate to consider any resolution providing for the adjournment sine die of either House unless action has been completed on H.R. 7765, the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1980.

Ante, p. 2599.
Sec. 8. It is the sense of the Congress that due to the extreme rate of inflation in the United States economy, the possible inflationary effects of Federal regulations and legislation shall be carefully monitored as part of a program of fiscal restraint. Inflationary effects should therefore be a prime consideration in developing both regulations and legislation. In order to coordinate the aggregate economic impact of regulations with Federal fiscal policy, it is the sense of Congress that the President should implement a “Zero Net Inflation Impact” policy for the regulations promulgated in the remainder of fiscal year 1981. This policy will require the President to keep an accounting for fiscal year 1981 of all new regulations which have a significant, measurable cost to the economy. Cost-saving modifications need not affect the same area of economic activity as the cost-inducing regulations. The President should institute an exemption procedure to assure the promulgation of regulations necessary to avert any imminent threat to health and safety. It is also the sense of 94 STAT. 3688Congress that the Director of the Congressional Budget Office should issue a periodic “inflation scorekeeping” report which shall contain an estimate of the positive or negative inflationary effects, wherever measurable, of legislation enacted to date in the current session of Congress. The report shall also indicate for each bill, promptly after it is reported by a committee of Congress, whether— (1) it is judged to have no significant positive or negative impact on inflation; (2) it is judged to have a positive or negative inflationary impact of the amount specified in terms of both dollar amounts and change in the Consumer Price Index; or (3) it is judged likely to have a significant positive or negative impact on inflation, but the amount cannot be determined immediately.
Agreed to November 20, 1980.

George Meany By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

At a time when freedom is once again under challenge around the world, we will remember George Meany. We will remember him as the symbol of a vibrant free trade union movement. We will remember him as the champion of the highest values of our democracy. In a career that exceeded a half century, George Meany changed the shape of America for the better in hundreds of ways, great and small, through the force of his character and through the integrity of his beliefs.

The modern American labor movement—strong, united and free—is George Meany's enduring legacy to our Nation. It is proper and fitting that we honor his memory today and that we remember his many contributions to our Nation.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces (36 U.S.C. 178) do hereby proclaim that, as a mark of respect to the memory of George Meany and his numerous contributions to our Nation, the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff on all buildings, grounds and naval vessels of the Federal government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until his interment.

I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.

4713 January 16, 1980 Temporary Duty Increase on the Importation Into the United States of Certain Nonelectric Cooking Ware of Steel Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4713 of January 16, 1980
Temporary Duty Increase on the Importation Into the United States of Certain Nonelectric Cooking Ware of Steel By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Pursuant to section 201(d)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974 (the Trade Act) (19 U.S.C. 2251(d)(1)), the United States International Trade Commission (USITC), on November 5, 1979, reported to the President (USITC Report 201–39) the results of its investigation under section 201(b) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2251(b)). The USITC determined that nonelectric cooking ware of steel, enameled or glazed with vitreous glasses, is being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as Io be a substantial cause of serious injury, or the threat thereof, to the domestic industry producing articles like or directly competitive with the imported articles. The subject articles are now provided for in item 654.02 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States (TSUS) (19 U.S.C. 1202) (formerly provided for in item 653.97, TSUS). The USITC recommended the imposition of additional duties on imports of the above specified articles. 2. On January 2, 1980, pursuant to section 202(b)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C..2252(b)(1)), and after taking into account the considerations specified in section 202(c) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2252(c)), I determined to remedy or prevent the injury or threat thereof, found to exist by the USITC. by proclaiming a temporary duty increase. On January 2, 1980, in accordance with section 203(b)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(b)(1)), I transmitted a report to the Congress setting forth my determination and intention to proclaim a temporary duty increase and stating the reasons why my decision differed from the action recommended bv the USITC. 3. Section 503(c)(2) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)) provides that no article shall be eligible for purposes of the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) for any period during which such article is the subject of any action proclaimed pursuant to section 203 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253). 4. Section 203(e)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(e)(1)) requires that import relief be proclaimed and take effect within 15 days after the import relief determination date. 5. Pursuant to sections 203(a)(1) and 203(e)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(a)(1) and 2253(e)(1)), I am providing import relief through the temporary increase of the import duty on certain nonelectric cooking ware of steel, as hereinafter proclaimed. NOW. THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the statutes of the United States, including General Headnote 4 of the TSUS (19 U.S.C. 1202), section 604 and section 203 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483; and 19 U.S.C. 2253), and in accordance with Articles I and XIX of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) (61 Stat. (pt. 5) A12 and 61 Stat. (pt. 5) A58; 8 UST (pt. 2) 1786), do proclaim that— (1)

(3) GSP eligibility is suspended for the nonelectric cooking ware of steel classified under TSUS item 923.60 as added by the Annex to this proclamation for such time as the import relief provided for therein is in effect. (4) This proclamation shall be effective as to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 17, 1980, and before the close of January 16, 1984, unless the period of its effectiveness is earlier expressly suspended, modified or terminated. (5) The Commissioner of Customs shall take such action as the U.S. Trade Representative shall direct in the implementation and administration of the import relief herein proclaimed.

items 417.22 and 480.65 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States (TSUS). that market disruption exists with respect to articles produced by a domestic industry and that emergency action is necessary. 2. Recent events have altered the international economic conditions under which I made my determination that it was not in the national interest to impose import relief on anhydrous ammonia from the U.S.S.R. as recommended by the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) on October 11, 1979. However, the factual basis upon which USITC made its determination of market disruption still exists. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of

4715 January 19, 1980 William O. Douglas Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4715 of January 19, 1980
William O. Douglas By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

William O. Douglas served on the Supreme Court longer than any Justice in American history—more than 36 years. During all that time, individual freedom in this country had no mightier champion. As he wrote in more than one of his opinions, “The essential scheme of our Constitution and Bill of Rights was to take Government off the backs of people.”

The freedom which Justice Douglas cherished—and which he struggled to preserve for all Americans—faces constant testing. Now, as our Nation gathers to meet yet another test, it is fitting that we pause to honor William Douglas and to remember his many contributions to our country.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER. President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me, do hereby proclaim that, as a mark of respect to the memory of William O. Douglas and his numerous contributions to our Nation, the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff on all buildings, grounds and naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until his interment.

I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

4716 January 22, 1980 American Heart Month, 1980 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 94 STAT. 3712 Proclamation 4716 of January 22, 1980
American Heart Month, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Diseases of the heart and blood vessels remain our Nation’s leading cause of death and disability and one of our most serious health problems. Collectively, cardiovascular diseases affect more than 40 million Americans, visiting partial or complete disability on several millions of them and causing nearly 980,000 deaths each year.

Since 1948, this Nation has been engaged in a concerted effort to acquire new knowledge about the cardiovascular system and the diseases that afflict it; to disseminate that knowledge to the research and medical communities and to the general public; and to mobilize resources, facilities, and research and medical manpower toward the goal of reducing illness, disability, and premature death from cardiovascular disorders.

Leading this national effort have been the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute—a federal agency—and the American Heart Association, supported by private contributions: but it has been a cooperative endeavor involving the participation of a great many agencies and groups and enjoying the confidence and continued support of the American people.

Widespread application of research and clinical advances stemming from this effort is having substantial and salutary effects on cardiovascular disease mortality rates, which have declined by 34 percent since 1950. These mortality-rate decreases extend across the whole spectrum of cardiovascular diseases and, in most categories, have accelerated during recent years.

Since 1968, for example, the mortality rate for coronary heart disease has declined by 26 percent and that for stroke by 37 percent. These reductions represent more than three hundred thousand lives saved each year, because these two disorders account for nearly 84 percent of all cardiovascular disease deaths.

Recognizing the need for all Americans to help in the continuing battle against cardiovascular disease, the Congress, by joint resolution approved December 30, 1963 (77 Stat. 843; 26 U.S.C. 169b) has requested the President to issue annually a proclamation designating February as American Heart Month.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of February, 1980, as American Heart Month. I invite the Governors of the States, the appropriate officials of all other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and the American people to join with me in reaffirming our commitment to the search for new ways to prevent, detect and control cardiovascular disease in all its forms.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of January, in the year of our Lord Nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

4717 January 23, 1980 Red Cross Month, 1980 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 94 STAT. 3713 Proclamation 4717 of January 23, 1980
Red Cross Month, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

For nearly a century now. the American Red Cross has been an expression of the brotherhood of man. Its humanitarian efforts transcend not only geographical boundaries but also those of political ideology. This past year our Red Cross could be found at work among the hundreds of thousands of Cambodians who sought refuge from hunger and disease in Thai refugee camps. Similarly, it provided aid. through the International Red Cross, to the civilian population of strife-torn Nicaragua and it brought assistance to the “boat people” of Southeast Asia.

Here at home, the Red Cross mobilized a vast relief program along the Gulf Coast to help the thousands of our fellow citizens whose homes were destroyed or damaged by a series of hurricanes. In so doing it strained its financial resources, expending in a three-month period a budget meant to last for a year.

In addition to easing the suffering of disaster victims, the Red Cross provides more than one-half of our need for blood: teaches us first aid, water safety, and proper care of the ill and injured: and comes to the aid of the men and women in our armed forces and of veterans and their families.

The month of March is traditionally observed as Red Cross Month. It is a time to honor those who make this precious humanitarian work possible: the Red Cross volunteer, our neighbor.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America and Honorary Chairman of the American National Red Cross, do hereby designate March 1980 as Red Cross Month. I urge all Americans to “Help Keep Red Cross Ready” by giving generous support to their local Red Cross Chapter.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-third day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

Save Your Vision Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Good vision, like good health generally, contributes much to the enjoyment of life. Our ability to see affects how we learn, how we work and play, how 94 STAT. 3714 we relate to others, and how well we are able to function in an increasingly complex society. Yet most people take good eyesight for granted. Just as we have come to recognize the need to take a more active role in maintaining the health of our bodies through diet and exercise, we should also take time to consider what can be done to take care of our eyes and to protect our vision. With proper care and attention, many of the serious eye problems that affect both young and old can be prevented.

Prevention of eye disease begins even before birth with adequate nutrition and prenatal care for the mother. During early childhood and later in life, periodic eye examinations can reveal certain potentially blinding eye conditions early enough to permit successful treatment. This is particularly true in families where there is a history of claucoma or in people who have diabetes. With professional eye care, it is even possible to restore sight to some people who are already blind or to help those with partial sight make the most of their remaining vision.

In addition to obtaining professional eye care when needed, each of us must take responsibility for protecting our eyes from injury. Protective eye-glasses or safety goggles should be worn in hazardous situations at work and while participating in many recreational activities. In the home, precautions should be taken to avoid injury to the eyes from household products, appliances, and cosmetics.

To increase awareness of the importance of good vision and the ways in which we can help to preserve our eyesight, the Congress, by joint resolution approved December 30, 1963 (77 Stat. 629. 36 U.S.C. 169a), has requested the President to proclaim the first week of March of each year as Save Your Vision Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning March 2, 1980, as Save Your Vision Week. 1 urge all Americans to participate in the observance of this period by pausing to consider what they can do to take care of their eyes. I invite vision care professionals, the communications media, educators, and all public and private organizations that support sight conservation to participate in activities that will teach Americans about eye care and encourage them to take steps to preserve and make the most of their vision.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

National Poison Prevention Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The past nineteen years have seen great progress in reducing accidental poisonings among children. Educational programs and the use of safety packaging have contributed considerably to the reduction in the number and severity of poisonings.

94 STAT. 3715

But this progress should not occasion complacency. It is estimated that over 80,000 children under five years of age will accidentally ingest potentially poisonous substances during 1980. These accidents will occur because of the monentary carelessness of parents and guardians, and because of ignorance of poison hazards in the home.

Protecting the lives and health of our children requires continued vigilance and increased efforts to educate every citizen to the dangers of accidental ingestion of drugs and common household products. By joint resolution of September 26, 1961 (75 Stat. 681, 36 U.S.C. 165), Congress has requested the President to issue annually a proclamation designating the third week in March as National Poison Prevention Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, designate the week beginning March 16, 1980. as National Poison Prevention Week.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

National Inventors’ Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Section 8 of Article I of our Constitution provides that the Congress shall have the power “to promote the progress of science and useful arts” by giving inventors, for a limited time, the exclusive right to their discoveries. The First Congress enacted legislation to this end. which, when signed by President George Washington on April 10, 1790, became the first United States patent law.

The patent incentive has prompted thousands of individuals to create, perfect, and bring to the marketplace inventions that have contributed to our health and welfare and to the productivity of our labor.

A recent review of the status of domestic industrial innovation, conducted at my request, confirms the vital role the patent system plays in the advancement of American technology.

February 11 is an especially significant date in the history of American invention because it marks the birth of Thomas Alva Edison, who, among 94 STAT. 3717other things, perfected and patented the first practical incandescent lamp. His ingenuity changed the lives of people in America and all over the world. In honor of the critical role played by inventors in promoting progress. and in recognition of their contributions to the welfare of this Nation, I have designated February 11, 1980, as “National Inventors’ Day.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon and urge the people of the United States to honor all inventors by joining me in observing February 11, 1980, National Inventors’ Day, with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of February. in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

World Trade Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The United States has set out with vigor and determination to implement the historic trade agreements concluded in the Tokyo Round of the Multilateral Trade Negotiations. The Administration has conducted a major reorganization of the Federal Government’s trade functions in order to take greater advantage of the opportunities these agreements offer. The 1980s begin to emerge as a time both of challenge and renaissance in the world of international commerce. They will be America’s decade for trade.

Expanded world trade contributes to the growth of economies throughout the world and opens new avenues of cooperation that serve us in our quest for peace and human rights.

Increased U.S. exports will mean more jobs for American workers, new markets for American business, more secure income for American farmers, a strengthened American dollar and lower costs for American consumers. Trade promotes our economic health and moves us closer to our goal of a prosperous and secure America at peace with the world.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 18, 1980, as World Trade Week, and I request all Americans to cooperate in observing that week by participating with the business community and all levels of Government in activities that emphasize the importance of world trade to the United States economy and to our relations with other nations.

Small Business Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Small business has long played a vital role in our Nation’s economy and way of life. This past January, I was honored to participate in the first White House Conference on Small Business. I had the opportunity to hear first-hand, the ideas, problems and aspirations of men and women from the small business community. As a former small businessman, I was impressed with their energy, determination, and above all, their hope for the future of our country.

The small business community constitutes the single most important segment of our free enterprise system. It accounts for forty-eight percent of our gross national product, more than half of the American labor force, and continues to be the major source of inventions and new jobs. Small business is truly the backbone of the American economy. 1 urge my fellow citizens to learn more about its role and importance in our society.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 11, 1980, as Small Business Week, and 1 urgently call on every American to join me in this very special tribute.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

Iwo Jima Commemoration Day By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Thirty-five years ago Americans were pitted in battle on a small, barren island called Iwo Jima. The standard of courage established by the men of the V Marine Amphibious Corps in that battle is unsurpassed.

Because we now enjoy the blessings of the freedom for which those men sacrificed so much, it is appropriate for us to reflect upon the high price of that freedom. For 35 days, men of the 3rd, 4th and 5th Marine Divisions fought to secure the strategic island of Iwo Jima. The cost of the eventual American victory was the highest in Marine Corps history: 5,931 dead and 17,272 wounded. Of the over 20,000 Japanese defenders on Iwo Jima, only 1,083 survived. But the victors and the vanquished alike shared uncommon valor as a common virtue.

I call on all Americans to join on this occasion in honoring those Americans who served on Iwo Jima. I call on State and local officials and private organizations to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Application of Certain Laws of the United States to the Northern Mariana Islands By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The Northern Mariana Islands, as part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, are administered by the United States under a Trusteeship Agreement between the United States and the Security Council of the United Nations (61 Stat. 3301). Pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 2 of the Trusteeship94 STAT. 3720

61 Stat. 3302.

Agreement, the United States has undertaken to promote the economic advancement and self-sufficiency of the inhabitants and to encourage the development of the fisheries of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.

The United States and the Northern Mariana Islands have entered into a Covenant to Establish a Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in Political Union with the United States of America (Public Law 94–241; 90

48 USC 1681 note.

48 USC 1681 note.

Stat. 263) pursuant to which many provisions of the laws of the United States have become applicable to the Northern Mariana Islands as of January 9, 1978 (Proclamation No. 4534. Sec. 2). Section 1004(a) of the Covenant provides that if the President finds a provision of the Constitution or laws of the United States to be inconsistent with the Trusteeship Agreement, the application of that provision to the Northern Mariana Islands may be suspended until the termination of that Agreement.

Certain provisions of the vessel documentation laws of the United States, applicable to the Northern Mariana Islands, prevent citizens of the Northern Mariana Islands and the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands from using foreign-built, United States registered fishing vessels owned by such citizens or owned by or in the custody of the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands to fish in the territorial sea and fishery conservation zone around the Northern Mariana Islands and to land their catch of fish in the Northern Mariana Islands. Because of the considerable distance of the Northern Mariana Islands from American shipyards and resultant high transportation costs associated with the purchase of American-built ships for use in the Northern Marianas fisheries, this result is inconsistent with the undertakings assumed by the United States in the Trusteeship Agreement to provide for the economic advancement and self-sufficiency of the inhabitants and to encourage the development of the fisheries of the Northern Mariana Islands.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, including Section 1004(a) of the Covenant to Establish a Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in Political Union with the

48 USC 1681 note.

United States of America, do hereby find, declare and proclaim as follows:

1. Any provision of the vessel documentation laws of the United States which prevents the citizens of the Northern Mariana Islands or the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands from using foreign-built, United States registered fishing vessels, owned by such citizens or owned by or in the custody of the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands, to fish in the territorial sea and fishery conservation zone around the Northern Mariana Islands and to land their catch of fish in the Northern Mariana Islands, including that part of R.S. 4132, as amended. 46 U.S.C. 11, which reads “* * * which are to engage only in trade with foreign countries, with the Islands of Guam, Tutuila, Wake. Midway, and Kingman Reef * * would be inconsistent with the objectives of the Trusteeship Agreement to the extent it has this effect. 2. The application of any such provision to foreign-built, United States registered fishing vessels owned by citizens of the Northern Mariana Islands or owned by or in the custody of the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands, is suspended to the extent it is inconsistent as described in Section 1 above until the termination of the Trusteeship Agreement for the Former Japanese Mandated Islands in the Pacific (61 Stat. 3301). Foreign-built fishing vessels owned by citizens of the Northern Mariana Islands or owned by or in the custody of the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands may therefore be registered under R.S. 4132, as amended, 46 U.S.C. 11, and any restrictive endorsement upon such register, prescribed by 46 CFR 67.63–9(b) 94 STAT. 3721pursuant to 46 U.S.C. 11, shall be without effect insofar as it would prevent the citizens of the Northern Mariana Islands or the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands from using foreign-built, United States registered fishing vessels owned by such citizens or owned by or in the custody of the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands to fish in the territorial sea and fishery conservation zone surrounding the Northern Mariana Islands and to land their catch of fish in the Northern Mariana Islands. 3. For the purposes of this proclamation, the seaward limit of the fishery conservation zone surrounding the Northern Mariana Islands is 200 nautical miles from the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured, except that to the north of the Northern Mariana Islands, the limit of the fishery conservation zone shall be determined by straight lines connecting the following points: 1. 20°52’42 “N„ 141°2O’53”E. 2. 23°02’19“N„ 144°00’56”E. 3.

Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

America’s strength is in the heart of its people and the richness of its cultural diversity.

Those who have come from Asian and Pacific countries have long added a special quality to our American mosaic. In spite of adversity, in spite of violence inflicted on their peoples and cultures, Asian and Pacific Americans have shed sweat and blood in the struggle for America’s nationhood and in the quest for freedom and opportunity. Out of all proportion to their numbers, Asian and Pacific Americans have contributed to our Nation’s progress in a wide range of fields—science, the arts, literature, agriculture, industry and commerce. Bringing with them the strong and varied traditions of their Asian and Pacific homelands—China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, the Pacific Islands, and Southeast Asia—they have greatly enriched our cultural heritage and institutions.

As we welcome new groups of Asian and Pacific peoples to our shores, our hearts are saddened by the suffering that has caused many of them to leave their homelands, but we are proud to be able to offer them freedom and hope and opportunity in America. As we work together to help them make the difficult adjustments to a new land and new lives, we are deeply aware of our debt to the generations of Asian and Pacific Americans who have come before them. We are grateful for their presence and glad for the opportunity to continue our tradition as a land of immigrants, people who have come from every corner of the earth, united by a common commitment to human rights and human liberty.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, declare the seven days beginning May 7, 1980. as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set may hand this twenty-seventh day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

Inter-American Development Bank Day By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The destinies of the people of North America and the people of Latin America have long been linked. Because of that relationship, one of the tools for the fulfillment of Latin American and Caribbean aspirations for economic and social development is a hemispheric framework of cooperation.

The Inter-American Development Bank is an important part of that frame-work. It began operations twenty years ago as a mutual effort by the United States and Latin America to promote progess in the hemisphere. Since 1960, the Bank has grown to embrace the nations of the Caribbean and. as contributors. Canada and 15 developed nations outside the hemisphere.

In the course of its first two decades, the Inter-American Development Bank has committed over $16 billion in development loans to bring electricity and running water to Latin American villages, to provide schools and health care for overcrowded cities, to supply credit to small farmers and entrepreneurs, and to promote a modem infrastructure for Latin American economies. Through its own strong efforts, assisted by the Inter-American Development Bank, Latin America as a region has achieved high real growth rates in recent years—resulting in improved living standards and expanding opportunities for trade and investment.

February 1980—the twentieth anniversary of the first meeting of the governing body of the Inter-American Development Bank—is a good time for the American people to take note of the success of a bold experiment in hemispheric sharing.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, proclaim February 29, 1980, as Inter-American Development Bank Day. in recognition of the role of the Inter-American Development Bank and in reaffirmation of the commitment of the American people and Government to the Bank and to the cause of peaceful economic and social progress in the hemisphere. I direct the Secretary of the Treasury, as United States Governor of the Inter-American Development Bank, to communicate this proclamation to the authorities of the Bank and to each of its member governments.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

William O. Douglas Arctic Wildlife Range By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

“The Arctic has a call that is compelling. The distant mountains make one want to go on and on over the next ridge and over the one beyond. The call is that of a wilderness known only to a few . . . This last American wilderness must remain sacrosanct.”

These are the words of the late Justice William O. Douglas describing the Brooks Range in Alaska, where the Arctic National Wildlife Range is located. They were written in 1960, the year the Range was established.

William O. Douglas staunchly asserted the right of all living things to be born, grow and die in a state of natural freedom. He cared for the moose and caribou of the arctic range as he cared for all those whose life and liberty were threatened by forces larger than themselves.

Justice Douglas insisted that the present generation must protect environmental and human rights not only for themselves but for the sake of future generations as well. He took strength from the refuge that nature and wilderness give the human soul.

It is Fitting to memorialize this great American with one of America’s most remarkable places. The area that will henceforth bear his name is an environment that offers the solitude and grandeur of vast arctic spaces as well as the vitality of a breeding ground for thousands of birds and for one of the largest remaining caribou herds on earth.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and statutes of the United States, and in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior who is charged with the management of the National Wildlife Refuge System, do hereby proclaim that the Arctic National Wildlife Range shall henceforth be known as the William O. Douglas Arctic Wildlife Range, in memory of a great American statesman and environmental leader. I hereby direct the Secretary of the Interior to take all steps necessary to implement this proclamation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

Teacher Day, USA By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The great strength of America lies in its people, educated in the most comprehensive and open system of public education the world has ever known. We have an enormous stake in this system, and the key to it is the American teacher. The men and women who staff our schools spend countless hours inspiring, encouraging, informing, and preparing young people for the future. Their hard work is a lifelong gift. Behind every successful adult, there is usually a teacher who was an inspiration for excellence.

Sadly, there has never been a national observance of the profound debt we owe our Nation’s teachers. There is no time each year when we can bestow the individual recognition, honor, and encouragement our teachers richly deserve.

Cancer Control Month By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

One in four Americans now living will eventually develop cancer.

While emphasis on early detection and treatment of cancer has saved thousands of lives, the ultimate answers lie in its prevention. Efforts to discover the cause of this disease and to create ways to thwart its development are advancing on several fronts.

Many scientists maintain that our preventive efforts should be primarily environmental. They believe that many types of cancer will prove to be preventable through the identification and control of carcinogenic factors in our surroundings. At the same time, we must pursue other areas of research as well. The search for new diagnostic and treatment techniques must continue as re-94 STAT. 3726 lentlessly as in the past. In 1980, about 785,000 people will be diagnosed as having cancer. More than 400,000 will die of the disease.

42 USC 201 note.

The National Cancer Act, which became law in 1971, has fostered programs in all aspects of cancer research. Many programs have been created to ensure that newly found knowledge from the research sector is transferred into the daily practice of medicine.

36 USC 150.

As a means of focusing continued attention on the problem of cancer, the Congress, by joint resolution of March 28, 1938 (52 Stat. 148), has requested the President to issue an annual proclamation setting aside the month of April as Cancer Control Month.

NOW. THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER. President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of April, 1980. as Cancer Control Month. I encourage the American people to meet the challenge of this critical health problem. 1 ask the medical and health professions, the communications industries, and all other interested citizens to unite in public reaffirmation of our Nation’s abiding commitment to cancer control.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

The United States of America—more than any other country—is founded upon law.

The law is a human institution, reflecting the moods, customs and modes of conduct of our people. The law is our own creation.

The law affects all of us from the cradle to the grave. It touches upon both the tangible and intangible aspects of our lives. The guardians of the law are our courts and those who serve them.

Our free and self-governing republic owes much to the efforts of the judges and lawyers of our Nation. It is from this body that America has drawn many of its leaders and statesmen.

This year will mark the 23rd annual observance of Law Day. May 1 has been set aside by joint resolution of the Congress to foster a deeper respect for the law “and understanding of its essential place in the life of every citizen of the United States.”

National Defense Transportation Day and National Transportation Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Throughout the history of the United States, our progress as a Nation has been closely tied to our progress in transportation.

As the Nation grew, so did its need for mobility. In the last century this need was well served by expanding networks of railroads and canals. Today, the need is served by a broader range of systems, including motor vehicles and aircraft.

The generations of men and women who pioneered these systems stand high in the ranks of those who made America great.

But new demands are constantly being made on our capacity to move people and the goods they produce. Today’s systems must change if they are to handle the demographic changes and the energy problems of tomorrow.

Once again we look to the people in our transportation industry to innovate—and to provide rapid, dependable, safe and efficient transportation to meet the needs of the future.

Acknowledging the importance of the U.S. transportation system, the Congress by joint resolution of May 16, 1957 (71 Stat. 30, 36 U.S.C. 160), requested the President to proclaim the third Friday in May of each year as National Defense Transportation Day. and, by joint resolution of May 14, 1962 (76 Stat. 69. 36 U.S.C. 166). requested the President to proclaim the week on which that Friday falls as National Transportation Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Friday. May 16, 1980. as National Defense Transportation Day, and the week beginning May 11, 1980, as National Transportation Week.

I urge all Governors, appropriate Federal officials, transportation organizations, and the people of the United States to join with the U.S. Department 94 STAT. 3731of Transportation in observing this day and week in honor of the vital role that the commercial transportation industry plays in our daily lives, in national defense, and in the future of an energy-secure America.

National Energy Education Day By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

During the past decade it has become clear that our Nation faces an increasing shortage of its traditional energy sources. This energy shortage and our growing dependence on foreign energy supplies present a serious threat to the national security of the United States and to the health, safety and welfare of its citizens. In an effort to reduce our dependence on foreign energy, we have embarked on a number of programs aimed at the development of new energy technologies. We have also initiated a comprehensive program to educate the Nation, particularly the Nation’s youth, about the consequences of the changing world energy supply.

In order to focus our attention on this ongoing program of energy education for the young—in both public and private schools and at all grade levels—and in an effort to bring together teachers, school officials and parent groups to help our children understand the current international energy situation. Congress has by Joint Resolution (S.J. Res. 43) proclaimed March 21,

National Medic Alert Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Emergency medical care, like other elements of our Nation’s health care system, depends for its effectiveness on the support of the American people. By contributing to the lifesaving capabilities of rescue personnel and other health professionals, we improve our prospects for continued good health.

Today, approximately forty million Americans are afflicted with diabetes, heart conditions, epilepsy, allergies and other medical conditions that are difficult to detect or identify in an emergency. This year, many of these people will become involved in emergency situations and, because of delays in diagnosing and treating their hidden medical problems, may suffer additional injury or even die.

Such tragedies need not occur. For more than two decades, special identification and information services—the oldest and perhaps best known of which is Medic Alert Foundation International—have been helping health and rescue personnel meet the unique emergency needs of people with hidden medical problems. When the victims of medical emergencies are unconscious or otherwise unable to communicate, their medic alert tags and the information services with which they are registered can spell the difference between successful treatment and serious, even fatal, complications. Last year, these tags and services helped save the lives of an estimated two thousand people with hidden medical conditions. Millions of additional Americans can protect themselves and help to improve the effectiveness of emergency medical care in this country by registering with a medic alert service. To focus the Nation’s attention on the value of these services, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved February 28, 1980. (H.J. Res. 434) requested that the President proclaim the week of

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of April 6, 1980, as National Medic Alert Week. I urge all citizens and interested organizations and associations to observe this week with activities that will foster the use of emergency identification and information services in the United States.

I invite the Governors of the States and appropriate local government officials to support National Medic Alert Week activities, and I call upon the Nation’s mass communications media to spread the message that medic alert services save lives.

ORT Centennial Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The Organization for Rehabilitation through Training was founded by Jews in Czarist Russia on April 10, 1880. to give technical instruction to Russian Jews and allow them to enter the industrial workforce for the first time in their history. In the course of the following century, the Organization gradually expanded its scope to include vocational training and technical education for unskilled men and women of many races and religions on several continents.

On its 100th Anniversary. ORT is the largest voluntary, nongovernmental job training program in the world. By providing training in over 100 trades—including transportation, education, engineering, mining, agriculture, hygiene, public health, and commerce—ORT has helped more than two million people in their efforts to overcome poverty.

The Organization has been a thread of hope even under the harshest of circumstances. It continued to function in the Warsaw ghetto until the very morning of the 1943 uprising. Among its other proud achievements. ORT can count the rehabilitation of survivors of Nazi persecution in the DP camps of postwar Europe as well as its recent collaboration with the Agency for International Development on programs to modernize Third World countries during the Decade of Development.

Today, as ORT celebrates its centennial, its basic educational network extends to 24 countries and serves 100,000 students in 700 schools. It has helped to lay foundations of individual pride and self-sufficiency all over the world, and the consistent quality of its performance has been an inspiration and an indispensable aid to progress.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, call upon all Americans to join me in observing April 10, 1980, as ORT Centennial Day.

Mother’s Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Each year, we set aside a special day of celebration to thank this Nation’s mothers for the role they play in our lives.

Mother’s Day 1980 finds the always demanding role of being a mother made even more complex by the choices modem women have that were not available to women of previous generations.

Today’s mothers are involved in every aspect of business, politics, education, sports, the arts, the sciences, and government, and yet they still remain at the core of this Nation’s greatest natural resource—the American family. Whether they seek careers or work full time in the home, mothers contribute immensely to our Nation’s future by shaping the character of our children.

94 STAT. 3736

That is why our observance of Mother’s Day is so important. It provides us not only with an opportunity to honor our own mothers, but also to thank all the women who make this Nation stronger through their tireless devotion to their children.

NOW THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby request that Sunday, May 11, 1980, be observed as Mother’s Day. I direct Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings, and I urge all citizens to display the flag at their homes and other suitable places on that day.

Petroleum Import Adjustment Program By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

In March 1979, the Secretary of the Treasury, having conducted an investigation of imports of petroleum and petroleum products in accordance with Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1862), concluded that such imports were entering the country “in such quantities and under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security.” This finding confirmed the results of previous investigations conducted in 1959 and 1975.

The high level of the Nation’s consumption of gasoline is the single most important cause of our dependence on foreign oil. At the same time, our consumption of gasoline can be reduced with less serious consequences to our economy than if similar action were taken with respect to other petroleum products, such as home heating oil. Consequently, the Secretary of Energy and the Secretary of the Treasury have advised that I take action to reduce oil imports by imposing a fee on imports of crude oil and gasoline and by establishing a program intended to ensure that the burden of the crude oil fee falls on gasoline. The Secretary of Commerce concurs.

I agree with their advice. To counter this threat to the national security of the United States, I deem it necessary to act pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act to adjust crude oil and gasoline imports through imposition of a gasoline conservation fee on imports of crude oil and gasoline and a system of passing the cost of this fee through on the price of gasoline in a manner consistent with and in furtherance of the objectives of the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973 (15 U.S.C. 751 et seq.).

NOW, THEREFORE. 1, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by the

USC prec. title 1.

Constitution and the laws of the United States, including Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1862), and the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973, as amended (15 U.S.C. 751 et seq.),do hereby proclaim, effective March 15, 1980, that:

Section 1–1. Gasoline Conservation Fee
Sec. 1–101 (a). Except as otherwise provided in this Proclamation, no crude 94 STAT. 3737 oil (except crude oil which is exchanged in accordance with the provisions in the next to last sentence of Section 4(b)(1) of Proclamation 3279, as

 amended) or gasoline may be entered into the United States unless it is by or for the account of a person to which a license has been issued by the Secretary pursuant to this Proclamation and the entry is made in accordance with the terms of this Proclamation and of such license. (b) Unexpired and unused licenses, or portions thereof, issued pursuant to Proclamation 3279, as amended, for the entry of crude oil and gasoline may

19 USC 1862 note.

 be used for the purpose of entering those respective products through April 23, 1980; provided, that the entry is otherwise made in accordance with the terms of this Proclamation and that payment is made for all applicable gasoline conservation fees.
Sec. 1–102 (a). Upon application, the Secretary shall issue licenses subject to the gasoline conservation fees provided for in this paragraph. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, such licenses shall require, among other appropriate provisions, the payment of the following gasoline conservation fees: (A) With respect to the entry of crude oil, such fee shall be $4.62 per barrel; (B) With respect to the entry of gasoline, such fee shall be equal to the dollar per barrel amount of the gasoline entitlement determined in accordance with Section 2–1 of this Proclamation for the month in which the entry was made, which amount shall be published by the Secretary on or about the fifteenth day of the second month after the month of entry.

4745 April 9, 1980 Older Americans Month and Senior Citizens Day Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4745 of April 9, 1980
Older Americans Month and Senior Citizens Day By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Each year since 1963, the month of May has been designated as our Nation’s special time for both honoring our older citizens and assessing their present needs. It is my deep belief that not only the form, but the meaning,of that tradition must be observed throughout America.

Since I became President, my Administration has worked hard—and successfully—to improve the quality of older persons’ lives by enhancing their physical and material security and by providing greater opportunities for them to continue utilizing their skills and experiences.

We have firmed up the financial base of the Social Security system and are continuing to monitor closely the revenue needs of this most fundamental social program.

42 USC 3001 note.

We have worked with the Congress to pass the Older Americans Act, which will unify and improve the administration of services.

We have pressed for stronger laws to protect older people against discrimination in the job market and in the allocations of Federal resources, and we have streamlined the enforcement of those laws. We have also taken the initiative to end age discrimination in employment opportunities.

However, significant changes are taking place in our population which raise new issues, and highlight new aspects of existing issues. A decline in the 94 STAT. 3745 birth rate, along with improvements in health care, are moving us toward a society in which more Americans, and a higher proportion of Americans, will be older. The implications of this gradual but certain shift will be felt by all segments of society.

Answers must be found to a host of questions which have just begun to be asked, let alone resolved.

• How can America be assured that the talents, creativity and experience of its older citizens are adequately tapped through opportunities for salaried employment, self employment and work as volunteers? • How do we identify and support more policies, both public and private, which further the independence and dignity of older people? • How can we target resources to meet the health and social needs of older persons with special problems, without perpetuating the myth that most elderly are frail or helpless? • How can we expedite the transfer of new knowledge from the remarkable advances of biomedical, social and behavioral research? • How can we focus public policy on the needs and resources of the elderly? • How can we assure that elderly members of minority groups are full participants in America’s progress on behalf of the aged? • What is the proper role of government at federal, state and community levels in assuring services and opportunities for older citizens, while encouraging the work of private organizations and the caring support of families?

Now is the time to renew a national discussion on these and related issues, through local, state and regional meetings leading up to the White House Conference on Aging in 1981. The forums must involve Americans from all segments of our society: business, labor, educational, cultural, religious, political and community leaders: specialists working with the aged; and. most important, older people themselves.

I therefore urge that community forums be held throughout the Nation during May, to begin the process which will culminate in a thoughtful, productive and enduringly beneficial White House Conference in 1981.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER. President of the United States of America, do hereby designate May 1980 as Older Americans Month. I ask all Americans to participate in the activities and discussions marking this special period, so that America can be strengthened and enlightened by the result. I further designate May 8, 1980, as Senior Citizens Day in honor of older Americans.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

National Consumer Education Week By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

America’s economy is the largest and most complex in the history of the world. It offers an unparalleled choice of goods and services. For our economy to work best for our people, all of us must have the information and knowledge we need to make intelligent decisions as consumers.

Every citizen can benefit from knowing more about consumer laws, rights, and avenues of redress. Many people—including the young, the elderly and the poor—need help in learning about buying skills, financial management, resource conservation methods, and self-help or alternative solutions to economic constraints. In addition, educated consumers can do much to ensure genuine competition, increased productivity, higher quality, and lower prices in the marketplace.

Many good programs for consumer education, public and private, are now in place. But we need a more comprehensive and coordinated approach. Just as our democratic political system needs well-informed citizens, our free economy needs well-informed consumers who can participate effectively in the marketplace partnership among consumers, government, and business.

Schools, governments, consumer organizations, labor unions, and businesses all can play a role in meeting this challenge. I call upon each of these sectors to examine closely how, individually and collectively, they can initiate and support consumer education.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER. President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 5, 1980. as National Consumer Education Week.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

4747 April 10, 1980 Days of Remembrance of Victims of the Holocaust Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4747 of April 10, 1980
Days of Remembrance of Victims of the Holocaust By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Thirty-five years ago, in the closing days of World War II, U.S. Armed Forces liberated the Dachau concentration camp in southern Germany. Words can hardly convey the shock and horror the world felt on seeing the victims—both the living and the dead—of the Nazi program of deliberate genocide.

94 STAT. 3747

Dachau and the other death camps, Buchenwald, Auschwitz, Treblinka and the others, were the machinery used by the Nazi regime to perpetrate the Holocaust—the systematic, state-sponsored extermination of six million Jews and the murders of millions of other people. The Holocaust was a crime virtually without equal in history. It has left deep moral scars on all humankind. No one who participated in the liberation of those camps or who knows their history can ever forget them—least of all the 250,000 survivors who found a home and built a new life in this country after the war. During my trip to Israel. I visited Yad Vashem, the Israeli memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. 1 vowed then, and I repeat now, that the world must never permit such evil to occur again.

We must study the record of the Holocaust and learn its lessons. We must never forget the terrible fruits of bigotry and hatred, and continually rededicate ourselves to the principles of equality and justice for all peoples.

In recognition of the magnitude of those crimes against humanity, the Congress of the United States, by joint resolution (S.J. Res. 97). has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation designating a week of remembrance.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate April 13 through April 19, 1980 as “Days of Remembrance of Victims of the Holocaust.” I ask the American people to observe this solemn anniversary of the liberation of Dachau with appropriate study, prayers and ceremonies, as a tribute to our determination to eliminate the hatred that produced such horror from the face of the earth.

On the recommendation of the President’s Commission on the Holocaust, I also ask the people of the United States to observe International Holocaust Commemoration Day on April 13, 1980.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

National Farm Safety Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Every year hundreds of thousands of farm and ranch residents suffer unnecessary injury, and sometimes disability and death, from accidents on the farm. The annual cost of these accidents totals several billion dollars. But statistics do not reveal the depth of personal loss and grief experienced by the injured and their families. Though progress has been made in many areas of farm accident control, more can be done.

Safety leaders have demonstrated that accidents and injuries can be effectively reduced by greater caution in work habits, by consistent use of protective equipment, and by careful planning for emergencies. A safer agricultural environment will be more productive and better able to meet the tremendous food and fiber needs of our people in the decade ahead.

NOW, THEREFORE, 1. JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the seven-day period beginning July 25, 1980. as National Farm Safety Week. I urge the Nation’s farmers and ranchers to adopt safe and sensible work practices and to remove unnecessary home and workplace hazards. Further. I call upon those who serve agricultural producers to become full partners in farm and community safety efforts.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of April in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

Continuation of Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

I find that continued implementation of the Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions, Energy Conservation Contingency Plan No. 2, is required

44 FR 12911.

in the national interest. This Plan was transmitted by me to the Congress on March 1, 1979, and approved by resolution of each House of Congress in the manner provided by law.

This Conservation Plan was implemented by me nine months ago because it was clear in view of unstable world production of crude oil that we could not rely on imports to meet our normal demand. Worldwide production of crude oil now is at levels even below those of the comparable period last year. We have had to terminate crude oil imports from Iran, and have experienced increased uncertainty about the level of continued crude oil supplies from other producing countries. Because of the actions of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and the tensions between Iraq and Iran, the threat to the stability of commerce in the countries of the oil-producing Persian Gulf has increased.

94 STAT. 3750

This shortage of reliable supply has resulted in continued high U.S. dependence on insecure crude oil imports, which have experienced rapid price increases, substantially increasing our inflation rate and creating a major adverse impact on the national economy. These effects are likely to be of significant scope and duration, and may be exacerbated by additional shortages which, should they occur, are likely to be of an emergency nature resulting from interruption of the supply of foreign petroleum.

The risk to the Nation from this reliance on insecure oil imports has not diminished since the Plan was implemented nine months ago. Under applicable law the finding that a shortage of energy supply requires implementation of the Plan must be considered anew nine months after it was made. I therefore renew the finding and determination contained in Proclamation

42 USC 6261 note.

No. 4667 of July 10, 1979 under sections 201(b) and 3(8) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6261(b), 6202(8)).

NOW. THEREFORE. 1. JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, including section 201(b) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6261(b)), do hereby proclaim that:

Sec. 1–101. The finding and determination under sections 3(8) and 201(b) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6202(8), 6261(b)) contained in Proclamation No. 4667 of July 10, 1979 are hereby renewed.
Sec. 1–102. This Proclamation shall be immediately transmitted to the Congress.
Sec. 1–103. The provisions of the Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions, Energy Conservation Contingency Plan No. 2 (44 FR 12911 of March 8, 1979) and the regulations thereunder, or any amendments thereto, shall continue in effect until January 16, 1981. unless earlier rescinded.
Sec. 1–104. In accordance with the provisions of this Plan and the regulations thereunder, the Secretary of Energy is hereby authorized to continue the administration of the program in all respects.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

Jewish Heritage Week By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Ever since the first Dutch Jew set foot in New Amsterdam in 1654. Jews have been contributing bountifully to the culture and history of our country. Indeed, the history of the Jewish people in America goes all the way back to the Jewish scientists and mariners who helped Columbus reach the New World. Later, Jews took an active part in the War of Independence, in the settlement of the West, and in the dynamic expansion of American technology. In medicine, education, trade, the law, politics, the labor movement, religion, motion pictures, athletics, literature, and more, the Jewish people have richly endowed America and the American way of life. American Jews have made their heritage—a heritage of struggle for freedom, knowledge, and human dignity—part of the inheritance of all Americans.

In recognition of this contribution, and in an effort to foster understanding and appreciation of the cultural diversity that has made America great, Jewish Heritage Week is celebrated each spring throughout the United States. This April is a particularly appropriate month because it contains events of special significance to the Jewish calendar—Passover, the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, Israeli Independence Day, Solidarity Sunday for Soviet Jewry, and the Days of Remembrance of Victims and Survivors of the Holocaust. Therefore, the Congress of the United States, by joint resolution, has requested the President to proclaim April 21 through April 28, 1980. as Jewish Heritage Week (H.J. Res. 474).

Ante, p. 338.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning Monday, April 21, as Jewish Heritage Week.

I call upon the people of the United States, Federal and local government94 STAT. 3752 officials, and interested organizations to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fourth day of April in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

4753 April 28, 1980 National Energy Conservation Days, National Transportation Week, 1980 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4753 of April 28, 1980
National Energy Conservation Days, National Transportation Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The security of our Nation and the vitality of our economy are dependent on our wise use of limited energy resources. Transportation consumes half of our petroleum fuel. As a Nation we have begun to conserve, but we can do much more—by using public transit, by joining carpools and vanpools, by driving efficiently, and by observing the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit.

Public transit plays an important role in the life of our cities by providing an energy-efficient means of commuting, by helping to relieve congestion, by improving air quality, and by helping to revitalize our downtown areas. Public transit is the best, and sometimes the only, means of transportation for many of our elderly, our poor, and our very young.

The national maximum 55 mile-per-hour speed limit is a proven way to save lives and energy. If all motorists obeyed the law, we would save almost 6 billion gallons of motor fuel each year. Compliance with the law also saves lives. For the three years before the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit became law annual fatalities averaged more than 54.000. For the following three years the average dropped to 45,000. proving that the law has been the single biggest factor in reducing highway fatalities.

The immense expenditure for individual driving adds to inflation, seriously affects our balance of payments, and threatens our standard of living. Careful selection, operation, and maintenance of our vehicles can reverse the trend in operating costs for all of us and reduce the need for imported oil.

Ridesharing has enormous energy-saving potential and can reduce substantially our Nation’s dependence on imported oil. Currently, 52 million people drive alone to work. If these drivers joined together in sharing the ride, at least 26 million cars would be removed from our congested highways, and we could save an additional 22.7 million gallons of fuel each workday and help improve our air quality.

In view of the contributions of these measures to the conservation of our energy resources, NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, designate

Monday, May 12, 1980, as National Public Transit Day

Tuesday. May 13, 1980. as National Drive 55 Day

Wednesday. May 14, 1980, as National Driver Efficiency Day, and

Thursday. May 15, 1980. as National Ridesharing Day.

94 STAT. 3753

I urge all Governors, appropriate Federal officials, transportation organizations. and the people of the United States to join with the U.S. Department of Transportation in observing these days in recognition of the vital role that transportation plays in our daily lives and in the future of an energy-secure America.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

Prayer for Peace Memorial Day, May 26, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

It has been a national tradition since the end of the Civil War to remember on Memorial Day the men and women of America who fought and died on the battlefield. We owe them a debt that can never be annulled. Their sacrifice endowed us with liberty and made our country a leader among nations.

But on this day of mourning and of homage to the heroes of the past, let us also remember the duty we owe to coming generations to be firm in the cause of liberty.

This past year we have had abundant proof that American courage still lives—eight Americans gave up their lives and others were seriously injured in the attempt to free their fellow Americans held hostage in Iran. We can take pride in our concern for national honor and in the firmness and restraint with which Americans face crisis. Mindful of our historic duty, we have become even more determined to defend our interests, protect our liberties, and promote our ideals. At the same time, we remain firmly committed to working with other nations to solve world problems together and to strengthen the foundations of world peace.

In recognition of those Americans to whom we pay tribute today, the Congress. by joint resolution of May 11, 1950 (64 Stat. 158), has requested the

36 USC 169g.

President to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe each Memorial Day as a day of prayer for permanent peace and designating a period on that day when the people of the United States might unite in prayer.

NOW, THEREFORE, 1. JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, 1980, as a day of prayer for permanent peace, and I designate the hour beginning in each locality at 11 o’clock in the morning of that day as a time to unite in prayer.

I urge the press, radio, television, and all other information media to cooperate in this observance.

94 STAT. 3754

I also request the Governors of the United States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the appropriate officials of all local units of government to direct that the flag be flown at half-staff during this Memorial Day on all buildings, grounds, and naval vessels throughout the United States and in all areas under its jurisdiction and control, and I request the people of the United States to display the flag at half-staff from their homes for the customary forenoon period.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of May. in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

Salute to Learning Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Throughout our history, Americans have been committed to the ideas of education and learning. In the eighteenth century, the law often decreed that land be set aside in each township for public schools. In the nineteenth century, hundreds of towns that were scarcely more than clearings in the wilderness nevertheless had their Lyceums, named for the garden in Athens where Aristotle taught, and dedicated to public enlightenment. As our Nation grew, teachers in every town and city spread the love of learning and offered the opportunity to make the American dream come true. In the twentieth century, education has become available to Americans of all ages, both inside the classroom and through a widening range of facilities and technological aids that allow them to pursue whatever skills and knowledge they might wish from childhood through old age.

America’s gifts to the world include not only our Constitution, the incandescent light bulb and the automobile, but the free public school and the land-grant college system.

From the beginning we Americans have found practical ways to organize ourselves to make our dreams reality. And so we have built schools, public and private, from log cabin classrooms in the backwoods to gleaming city campuses of steel and marble. Today, education is our Nation’s largest enterprise. State and local governments have exercised primary responsibility for public education, gradually expanding its range. The Federal government has sought to ensure access to equal educational opportunity for all our people. Higher education—once the privilege of a tiny elite—is now within the reach of virtually every American. We have been able to build the most comprehensive and open system of public education in the world because of the continuing commitment of Americans to the essential freedom to pursue knowledge and truth, and to the principle that if the people are to rule, they must be prepared.

Now, to meet the needs of the generations to come, we have established a Department of Education to express our national commitment to education, to promote equal educational opportunity, to assist local authorities in their efforts to improve our schools, and to administer Federal education programs more efficiently.

94 STAT. 3755

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim this day, the 7th of May 1980. as Salute to Learning Day in honor of this beginning.

I call upon all parents and students, all teachers and administrators, all lawmakers and public officials—1 call upon all my fellow citizens to celebrate this day. As a people, let us dedicate ourselves anew to building an educational system which will cherish young people, instill self-discipline and prepare students for tomorrow’s world; which will encourage scientific curiosity and foster artistic creativity; which will support research, reward good teaching and honor high intellectual accomplishment.

Only by making this commitment can we pass on a tradition of educational excellence and equal opportunity to Americans of the twenty-first century and give them the tools they will need to shape their own interpretations of the American dream and make their own contributions to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF. 1 have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

Tribute to Eight American Servicemen By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The names of the eight American servicemen who died in a mission of rescue in Iran will forever stand among the names of heroes. They were valiant men. They knew the danger of the task for which they had volunteered. and they were willing to confront that danger because they wished to right a terrible wrong.

At a time when the delicate, age-old patterns of diplomatic communication that help maintain the peace of the world are under direct attack, we have a great need of men and women ready to make the sacrifices that freedom and security require. The eight who gave their lives while attempting to free their fellow Americans from an illegal and intolerable captivity were such individuals. They knew the price that freedom can demand, and they were prepared to pay it. They laid down their lives for their countrymen, for their Nation’s honor, and for the principles of justice and civilization. We mourn their loss; we admire their courage; we respect their dedication; and we reaffirm the principles for which they died.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, by virture of the authority vested in me as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces (36 U.S.C. 178) do hereby proclaim that, as a mark of respect to the memory of these brave men, the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff on all buildings, grounds and naval vessels of the Federal government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions upon notification of the provisions of this Proclamation until sunset on Friday. May 9.

I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other 94 STAT. 3756 facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.

Flag Day and National Flag Week 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Two hundred and five years ago, in June of 1775, the first distinctive American flags to be used in battle were hoisted above the Colonial defenses at the Battle of Bunker Hill. One of these flags was an adaptation of the British “Blue Ensign.” The other was an entirely new design. Both, however, bore one device in common—the pine tree—chosen to symbolize the colonists’ efforts to wrest their land from the forests.

As the colonists moved toward a final break with the mother country, other flags with more pointed messages began to appear. Several featured rattlesnakes, symbolizing vigilance and deadly striking power, and were emblazoned with the legends “Liberty or Death” and “Don’t Tread on Me.”

On January 1, 1776, the Grand Union flag was raised over Washington’s Continental Army headquarters, displaying not only the British crosses of St. George and St. Andrew but also thirteen red and white stripes for the thirteen American colonies. That same year, the Bennington flag was unfurled, with thirteen stars, thirteen stripes and the number “76.”

But it was not until the following year that the Continental Congress chose a flag that more tellingly expressed the unity and resolve of the Colonials who had banded together to seek independence. On June 14, 1777, two years after the Battle of Bunker Hill, the delegates voted “that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field representing a new constellation.”

Today, thirty-seven stars and two centuries later, the flag chosen by the Continental Congress in Philadelphia continues to be our national flag and to symbolize our shared commitment to freedom and equality.

To commemorate the adoption of our flag, the Congress, by a joint

36 USC 157.

resolution of August 3, 1949 (63 Stat. 492), designated June 14 of each year as Flag Day and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for its observance. The Congress also requested the President, by joint

36 USC 157a.

resolution of June 9, 1966 (80 Stat. 194), to issue annually a proclamation designating the week in which June 14 occurs as National Flag Week and to call upon all citizens of the United States to display the flag on those days.

NOW. THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, do hereby designate the week beginning June 8, 1980, as National Flag Week, and I direct the appropriate officials of the Government to display the flag on all Government buildings during the week. I urge all Americans to observe Flag Day, June 14, and 94 STAT. 3757Flag Week by flying the Stars and Stripes from their homes and other suitable places.

To focus the attention of the American people on their country’s character, heritage and future well-being, the Congress has also, by joint resolution of June 13, 1975, set aside the 21 days from Flag Day through Independence Day as a period to honor America (89 Stat. 211).

Modification of the Implementation of the Orderly Marketing Agreement and the Temporary Quantitative Limitation on the Importation Into the United States of Color Television Receivers and Certain Subassemblies Thereof By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

On January 26, 1979, by Proclamation 4634, I proclaimed pursuant to the

19 USC 1202.

Constitution and the statutes of the United States, including section 203 of94 STAT. 3758 the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2253) (the Trade Act), certain temporary quantitative limitations on the importation into the United States of color television receivers and certain subassemblies thereof, provided for in items 923.74 through 923.83, inclusive, of the Tariff Schedules of the United States (TSUS) (19 U.S.C. 1202).

Exports to the United States of color television receiver subassemblies, provided for in item 923.78, and subject to Proclamation 4634. fell considerably below the restraint level established by that Proclamation for the first restraint period. The existing carryover provision would allow an increase in the quantity to be entered during the second restraint period of only 29,700 units of such subassemblies. In the interest of equity, this Proclamation will increase the allowable carryover by 5.300 units to 35.000 units. The total number of such subassemblies exported to the United States and entered

19 USC 1202.

during the fifteen months covered by Proclamation 4634 will remain less than the number originally contemplated by that Proclamation.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, in order to assure equitable treatment under Proclamation 4634 and acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the statutes of the United States, including section 203 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253), and in accordance with Article XIX of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) (61 Stat.

National Recreation and Parks Week By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

From the beaches of Hawaii to the hills of New England, America’s public recreation and park systems include outstanding features of our historical, cultural and natural heritage.

Magnificent canyons, splendid forests, the homes of great Americans—these are among the places preserved in Federal. State and local park systems. Recreation areas make everything from scuba diving to spelunking to plain old picnicking available to millions.

Among the Federal government’s diverse holdings are national forests, 94 STAT. 3759grasslands, wildlife refuges, even the famous Gateway Arch in St. Louis. State park systems have similar treasures. Oregon’s coast is dotted with State-run beaches that offer agate-hunting and surf-fishing, while New York’s Adirondack Park—three times the size of Yellowstone and the country’s largest State park—boasts more than 9000 square miles of wilderness within a day’s drive of 55 million Americans.

The preservation of wilderness is one goal of the country’s park systems. Accessibility is another. Parks and recreation areas all over the country offer a variety of programs, experiences and opportunities to all Americans, including the disabled, the disadvantaged, the elderly and the very young.

It is important that everyone be able to enjoy our landscape and history and to engage in healthy leisure activities—whether it’s boating or fishing, walking or climbing.

Captive Nations Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Twenty-one years ago. by a joint resolution approved July 17, 1959 (73 Stat. 212), the Eighty-Sixth Congress authorized and requested the President to proclaim the third week in July as Captive Nations Week.

Throughout our history we Americans have held the deep conviction that liberty and independence are among mankind’s inalienable rights. Our ideal has remained that of our founding fathers: governments derive their legitimacy from the consent of the peoples they govern. Soviet aggression against Afghanistan is the latest stark reminder that this ideal is not universally respected.

Mindful of our heritage and our principles, let us take this week to salute the men and women everywhere who are devoted to the cause of liberty and the pursuit of human rights in their native lands.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning on July 13, 1980, as Captive Nations Week.

94 STAT. 3760

I invite the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities and to reaffirm their dedication to the ideals that unite us and inspire others.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

50th Anniversary of the Veterans Administration By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Fifty years ago, on July 21, 1930, President Herbert Hoover established the Veterans Administration, fulfilling the words of Abraham Lincoln that our great Nation would “care for him who had borne the battle, and for his widow and orphan.”

The world has seen much turbulence and suffering since that day, and American families have all touched in some sense the tragedy of war. Throughout this period, the Veterans Administration has set a standard of care and compassion.

94 STAT. 3761

On this 50th anniversary of the Veterans Administration, Americans take pride in having led the world in healing the physical and social wounds of war. Our system of assistance and care for veterans is the most comprehensive in the world. In medicine, the Veterans Administration has been a leader in innovation, research, and the quality of care. Its staff includes Nobel Prize winners and other men and women of international renown. Millions of Americans have been helped by Veterans Administration benefits and services, and protected by Veterans Administration life insurance. Veterans loan guarantees have made home ownership possible for tens of thousands of families, and GI Bill education has transformed the social fabric of America. These efforts express our appreciation and commitment to those who have sacrificed for our country and to the families of those who gave their lives in its service.

NOW. THEREFORE, 1. JIMMY CARTER. President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim July 21, 1980. as Veterans Administration 50th Anniversary Day, and call upon State and local officials and all Americans to observe this day with appropriate activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

National Athletic Boosters Week By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The young people of America are one of our greatest natural resources, and their health and well-being are vital to the health and well-being of the Nation. The thousands of youth athletic programs run by communities, schools, and private groups all across this country promote physical Fitness among our youth—and more. They also give the young people of this country invaluable training in sportsmanship, fair play, and team effort. They are the training ground for those who will eventually replace us—and surpass us.

Youth athletic programs are heavily dependent on voluntary contributions of funds and services from individuals. Thanks to the generosity of Americans throughout the United States, these programs continue to succeed in their crucial task. Such volunteers are a credit to their communities and to the Nation.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 442, has requested the President to

Afghanistan Relief Week By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

From the beginning, the United States has been a shining symbol of hope to the oppressed and the destitute of the world. The lamp held high by the Statue of Liberty still sheds its light into the darkness of tyranny, poverty and war.

In the years since World War 11, America has given substance to that symbol time after time. Our country has provided food, clothing, shelter and medicine to millions of people from Greece. Hungary. Czechoslovakia, Kampuchea. Bangladesh. Chile, Guatemala and many other places.

Last December, the non-aligned, Moslem nation of Afghanistan was suddenly and brutally invaded by almost a hundred thousand Soviet troops. Because of this act of aggression, which has earned the condemnation of the world, hundreds of thousands of Afghans have been forced to flee their country.

They have fled because their homes have been bombed, their crops and flocks have been destroyed, and their villages have been attacked with rockets, napalm, and other modern weaponry. Facing starvation, shelterless against the bitter cold of the mountain winter, some one million men, women and children have crossed the high passes to seek shelter in Pakistan. or have fled to Iran. Children and the old often die on the way. But despite the hardships, thousands more arrive each week.

The Afghans now constitute one of the largest concentrations of refugees in the world today. Most of them are destitute. They have been able to bring with them only their proud, resilient spirit of independence.

They desperately need shelter. And they need clothing, blankets, fuel and urgent medical care, especially for the women and children.

Americans can help—and Americans must help. I call upon all Americans to help the Afghan refugees through contributions to agencies involved in the relief efforts, both the UN High Commission for Refugees and the dedicated private voluntary agencies.

NOW. THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of July 21 through July 27, 1980, as Afghanistan Relief Week and urge my fellow citizens to join with international relief agencies in assisting and helping the Afghan refugees in their struggle for survival.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF. 1 have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

4766 June 19, 1980 Imports of Petroleum and Petroleum Products Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 94 STAT. 3763 Proclamation 4766 of June 19, 1980
Imports of Petroleum and Petroleum Products By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Congress has terminated the Petroleum Import Adjustment Program (PIAP), which was designed to reduce the threat to our nation’s security caused by our dependence on imported oil. Consistent with this Congressional action, I am rescinding Proclamation 4744 which established the PIAP.

Ante, p. 3736.

The threat to national security, however, has not dissipated, and an effective means of reducing oil imports remains an imperative. I will work with Congress to reach this objective. In the meantime, the Mandatory Oil Import Program, which the PIAP had modified, will once again govern all importation of oil into this country. The small import fees associated with that Program were first imposed in 1973 and have been suspended since April 6, 1979. Under present circumstances, these fees would not fulfill the long term purposes for which they were originally adopted. I have therefore determined that a further six month suspension of these fees is consistent with the development of a more comprehensive program for reducing oil imports.

NOW. THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1862), do hereby proclaim that:

Section 1–101. Proclamation 4744, as amended, is rescinded in its entirety, effective March 15, 1980.
Sec. 1–102. Proclamation 3279. as amended, is further amended in section

 new subsection (f). to read as follows: “Except with respect to licenses issued pursuant to the next to last sentence of Section 4(b)(1) of this Proclamation, all licenses issued pursuant to this Proclamation which could be utilized to enter crude oil or gasoline pursuant to another Proclamation shall expire effective 12:01 a.m.. April 24, 1980. Licenses issued for the entry of crude oil and gasoline pursuant to Proclamation 4744. as amended, shall 94 STAT. 3764be considered to have been and to be issued pursuant to the authority contained in this Proclamation and shall be subject to all of its terms and conditions (except for those in the preceding sentence), including those arising by virtue of the implementing regulations and interpretations.”.
Sec. 1–106. Section 8 of Proclamation 3279. as amended, is amended by deleting the period at the end of the next to last paragraph and by adding at the end of that paragraph the following words: provided, that the system of issuing allocations and licenses with respect to exchanges under Section 4(b)(1) of this Proclamation shall remain in effect during any period in which a fee of $0.00, as provided in Section 3 of this Proclamation, is in effect.”.

Helen Keller Day By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Stories of brave individuals battling seemingly insurmountable odds fire our imagination and pride as human beings. So it is with the remarkable life of Helen Keller. Her incredible fight against, and eventual triumph over, the multiple handicaps of deafness and blindness made her a world-famous symbol of hope for all handicapped people.

Today we honor the 100th anniversary of Helen Keller’s birth. In so doing, we honor also the patience and understanding of her devoted teacher Anne Sullivan. Helen Keller refused to let her handicaps cut her off from a life of usefulness and service to others. Through her own determination and faith, she was able to develop and use her talents and demonstrate how much even the most severely handicapped individual can accomplish when proper training and rehabilitation opportunities are provided.

As a mark of respect for her achievements, the Congress, by joint resolution, has authorized the President to proclaim June 27, 1980, as “HELEN KELLER DAY”.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate June 27, 1980, as “HELEN KELLER DAY”. I urge all appropriate Federal Departments and agencies to foster the recognition of Helen Keller’s achievements on that day with ceremonies, programs. and activities.

The USITC advised the President that termination of the import relief currently in effect with respect to certain color television receivers and subassemblies thereof will have an adverse effect on the domestic industry producing like or directly competitive products. 3. Section 203(h)(3) and (5) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(h)(3) and (5)) provides that any import relief instituted under the authority of section 203 may be extended by the President at a level no greater than that in effect at the time of extension if the President determines, after considering the advice of the USITC and the factors indicated in section 202(c) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2252(c)), that such extension is in the national interest. 4. In accordance with section 203(h)(3) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(h)(3)), I have determined that the level of import relief hereinafter proclaimed extends import relief at a level no greater than that in effect for the period of February 1, 1979 through June 30, 1980, and, having considered the advice given by the USITC in its report to the President and the factors indicated in section 202(c) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2252(c)). 1 have determined that the extension of the orderly marketing agreements with the Coordinating Council for North American Affairs and the Republic of Korea, covering certain color television receivers and subassemblies thereof as provided in the Annex to this proclamation, is in the national interest.

NOW, THEREFORE. I. JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me in the Constitution and the statutes of the United States, including section 203 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253), section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483), section 301 of Title 3 of the United States Code, and sections 4(b)(2) and 6(b) of the Taiwan Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 3303(b)(2) and 3305(b)), and in accordance with Article XIX of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) (61 Stat. (pt. 5) A58: 8 UST (pt. 2) 1786). do proclaim that—

(1)

Orderly marketing agreements, with respect to trade in certain color television receivers and subassemblies thereof, extending in part those currently in effect, were initialed June 28, 1980 by the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of Korea, and on June 28, 1980 by the American Institute in Taiwan and the Coordinating Council for North American Affairs. Both agreements will be signed in the near future.

These agreements, which will be made effective July 1, 1980, are to be implemented according to their terms and by the quantitative restrictions as directed in this proclamation, including the Annex.

 (2) The Tariff Schedules of the United States (19 U.S.C. 1202) are modified as set forth in the Annex to this proclamation. (3) The authority of the President under section 203(e)(2) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(e)(2)) to negotiate orderly marketing agreements with other foreign country suppliers of articles subject to this proclamation after any import relief proclaimed pursuant to section 203(a)(1), (2), (3) or (5) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(a)(1), (2), (3) or (5)) takes effect is delegated to the United States Trade Representative (Trade Representative). The author- 94 STAT. 3770ity of the President, under section 203(e)(3) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(e)(3)) to determine that any agreement negotiated pursuant to section 203(a)(4) or (5) or 203(e)(2) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(a)(4) or (5) or 2253(e)(2)) is no longer effective, is delegated to the Trade Representative, to be exercised after consultation with representatives of the member agencies of the Trade Policy Committee.

(4) The authority of the President in section 203(g)(1) and (2) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(g)(1) and (2)), having been delegated to the Secretary of the Treasury under section 5(b) of Executive Order No. 11846, shall be exercised by the Secretary of the Treasury, upon direction by the Trade Representative, in consultation with representatives of the member agencies of the Trade Policy Committee. (5) In exercising the authority delegated in paragraphs (3) and (4) above, the Trade Representative shall, in addition to other necessary actions, institute the following actions: (a) Statistics on imports of articles covered by the agreements shall be collected on a monthly basis. (b) If, for two years beginning on July 1, 1980. the quantity of imports of the articles covered by the agreements from sources other than those covered by the agreements described in paragraph (1) appears likely to disrupt the effectiveness of the provisions of the orderly marketing agreements described in paragraph (1) above, the Trade Representative may initiate consultations with those countries and may exercise the authority under 203(g)(2) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(g)(2)) to prevent further entry of such articles for the remainder of that restraint period or otherwise moderate or restrict imports of such articles from such countries. Before exercising this authority, the Trade Representative shall consult with representatives of the member agencies of the Trade Policy Committee. (c) Should the Trade Representative, under the authority of this proclamation, determine to institute import restrictions on articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, from sources other than those covered by the agreements described in paragraph (1) that action shall be effective not less than eight days after the publication in the Federal Register of the determination and any necessary changes in the TSUS. (6) The Trade Representative shall take those actions and perform those functions for the United States which may be necessary concerning the administration, implementation, modification, amendment or termination of the agreements described in paragraph (1) of this proclamation, and any actions and functions necessary to implement paragraphs (3), (4) and (5) of this proclamation. In carrying out his responsibilities under this paragraph, the Trade Representative is authorized to delegate, to appropriate officials or agencies of the United States, authority to perform any functions necessary for the administration and implementation of the agreements or actions. The Trade Representative is authorized to make any changes in the TSUS which may be necessary to carry out the agreements or actions. Any changes in the agreements shall be effective not less than 8 days following their publication in the Federal Register.

The initial surveys shall cover the second quarter of 1980. Subsequent surveys shall cover individual quarters with the last such survey covering the quarter which ends not less than 60 days prior to the termination of the import relief. The USITC shall publish the results of the surveys within 45 days after the end of the surveyed quarter. (b) Annual, Annual surveys to obtain data from producers in the United States by calendar quarter on profits, capacity, and annual data on capital expenditures and research and development expenditures; and to obtain from importers data by calendar quarter on prices, orders, and inventories. The initial surveys shall cover the calendar year 1980, and the results shall be published by March 31, 1981. The results of subsequent surveys shall be published by March 31 of each year thereafter so long as the import relief is in effect. (9) This proclamation shall be effective as of July 1, 1980. and shall continue in force through June 30, 1982. unless the period of its effectiveness is earlier expressly modified or terminated.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

The United States signed the International Sugar Agreement on January 2, 1980. The International Sugar Agreement 1977. Implementation Act (P.L. 96–236; 94 Stat. 336) (the Act) enacted on April 22, 1980, authorized full implementation of United States rights and obligations under that agreement. 3.

The President also is authorized to designate agencies or offices of the United States which will exercise the powers and functions conferred by the Act. 4. Reorganization Plan Number 3 of 1979, transferred to the United States Trade Representative the functions of the Secretary of State with respect to commodity agreements.

To reflect the developments described in paragraphs 2, 3. and 4, Proclamation 4663 must be amended. The actions proclaimed below conform with the International Sugar Agreement, 1977, and give due consideration, as required by Headnote 2. of Subpart A. Part 10, Schedule 1 of the TSUS, to the interests of domestic producers of sugar in the United States and of affected contracting parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and statutes of the United States, including the International Sugar Agreement 1977, Implementation Act (P.L. 96–236; 94 Stat. 336) and in conformity with Headnote 2 of Subpart A, Part 10, Schedule 1 of TSUS. do hereby proclaim:

years old. Yet, it is as forceful and dynamic today as on that day in 1787 when it was signed by our Forefathers. Not only has this hallowed document endured, it has grown stronger in the nearly two centuries since its adoption and continues to increase in vitality with each succeeding generation. Today, as ever, it stands as a beacon for those dedicated to the principles of government by and for the people.

By joint resolution of February 29, 1952 (36 U.S.C. 153), the Congress designated September 17 as Citizenship Day. in commemoration of the formation and signing of the Constitution and in recognition of all who have attained the status of citizenship. The resolution authorized the President to issue annually a proclamation calling upon officials of the Government to display the flag on all Government buildings on that day. By a joint resolution of August 2, 1956 (36 U.S.C. 159), Congress authorized the President to desig-94 STAT. 3778nate the period beginning September 17 and ending September 23 of each year as Constitution Week and to issue a proclamation calling for observance of that week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, call upon appropriate Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on Citizenship Day, September 17, 1980. I urge Federal, State and local officials, as well as leaders of civic, educational and religious organizations to conduct meaningful ceremonies and programs on that day.

I also designate as Constitution Week the period beginning September 17 and ending September 23, 1980. and urge all Americans to observe that week with meaningful ceremonies and activities in their schools, churches and in other suitable places in order to foster a better understanding of the Constitution, and of the rights and duties of United States citizens.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

4774 July 2, 1980 National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day, 1980 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4774 of July 2, 1980
National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

In each of America’s wars our prisoners of war have been called upon to make uncommon sacrifices. Upon them has fallen the arduous responsibility of defending American ideals under the absolute control of the enemy. Extremely difficult at best, this responsibility becomes magnified almost beyond comprehension when men and women are treated inhumanely—in violation of ordinary human compassion, fundamental moral standards, and basic international obligations.

The Congress has by Joint Resolution designated July 18, 1980 as “National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day.”

All Americans should recognize the special debt we owe our fellow citizens who, as prisoners during wartime, sacrificed their freedom that we might enjoy the blessings of peace and liberty. Likewise, we must remember the unresolved casualties of war—our soldiers who are still missing. The pain and bitterness of war endures for their families, relatives, and friends.

Our Nation will continue to seek answers to the many questions that remain about their fate.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Friday, July 18, 1980, as National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day, a day dedicated to all former American prisoners of war, to those still missing, and to their families. I call on all Americans 94 STAT. 3779 to join in honoring those who made the uncommon sacrifice of being held captive in war, and their loved ones.

And I call on State and local officials and private organizations to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of July in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

While the cost of medical treatment reaches into the millions of dollars, the costs of cystic Fibrosis in terms of human suffering are inestimable.

Through biomedical research, the outlook for cystic Fibrosis patients has become brighter over the years. Long considered fatal in childhood, cystic fibrosis has begun to yield to the efforts of science. The life expectancy of cystic Fibrosis victims has increased well into the teens, twenties and beyond. Moreover, improved methods of treatment have enhanced the quality of patients’ lives. Despite this progress, however, the basic cause of cystic fibrosis, as well as its cure, continues to elude investigators.

The Department of Health and Human Services, in cooperation with private, voluntary agencies, is meeting the challenge of cystic Fibrosis with an intensified research program. Through the National Institutes of Health, the Department’s biomedical research arm, studies are now under way to identify the causes—and consequences—of the disease, and to develop improved methods of detection, treatment, and, eventually, prevention.

In recognition of the progress that has been made, and of the many research questions that still remain to be answered, the Congress has by House Joint Resolution 445 designated the week of September 21, 1980, “National Cystic

Fibrosis Week”, a time to highlight the hope for the future that this Nation shares with cystic fibrosis victims and their families.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning September 21, 1980, as ‘‘National Cystic Fibrosis Week.”

IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.

4776 July 31, 1980 National Hispanic Heritage Week Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 94 STAT. 3780 Proclamation 4776 of July 31, 1980
National Hispanic Heritage Week By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Hispanic peoples have played a distinguished role in the history of our Nation. They founded settlements in Florida and Georgia half a century before the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts, and were homesteading in New Mexico more than 150 years before the War of Independence. The names of scores of American cities and towns—such as Los Angeles, Albuquerque, San Antonio, and Saint Augustine—remind us that many of the explorers and settlers who opened our frontiers were of Hispanic origin.

The Hispanic community has given us generals, admirals, philosophers, statesmen, musicians, athletes, and Nobel Prize-winning scientists. Hispanic Americans have contributed gallantly to the defense of our Nation, and many have received the highest decoration our country can bestow—the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Outstanding Hispanic men and women add daily to our Nation’s accomplishments in science, technology, the arts, and politics. And Hispanic citizens contribute daily to the quality of our lives. Hispanics exhibit an eminent pride in our American heritage, a passionate love of family, a profound devotion to religion, and an energetic commitment to hard work.

As we enter the 1980s. it is fitting that we pause to recognize and celebrate our Hispanic heritage.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning September 14, 1980, as National Hispanic Heritage Week. I call upon Federal, State, and local officials to observe this week with appropriate activities and to search out innovative ways for government to work in partnership with the Hispanic community. Hispanic immigrants were among the earliest and are now among the most recent to arrive in this haven of liberty and human rights, and I urge all Americans to reflect on the invaluable contribution they have made to the greatness, the diversity, and the strength of this Nation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.

Leif Erikson Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The name of Leif Erikson symbolizes the triumph of the human spirit. A thousand years ago. he and his crew of Norsemen conquered the North Atlantic in an open boat and set a permanent standard of fearlessness, fortitude and endurance. His example will always be an example to men and women of daring and imagination.

In commemorating his life, we also salute the achievements of the Scandinavian people, whose voyages at the dawn of the Middle Ages pushed back the frontiers of human geographical knowledge in many parts of the world, and whose accomplishments have enriched Western man from that era to our own.

As a mark of respect to the courage of Leif Erikson and his Norse followers. the Congress of the United States, by joint resolution approved September 2, 1964 (78 Stat. 849, 36 U.S.C. 169c), authorized the President to proclaim October 9 in each year as Leif Erikson Day.

NOW. THEREFORE. I, JIMMY CARTER. President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Thursday, October 9, 1980 as Leif Erikson Day and I direct the appropriate Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings that day.

I also invite the people of the United States to honor the memory of Leif Erikson on that day by holding appropriate exercises and ceremonies in suitable places throughout the land.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.

American Enterprise Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The American free enterprise system, the cornerstone of our Nation’s economy. has endured and flourished for more than 200 years. It provides us with one of the highest standards of living in the world, and guarantees freedom of choice in a way that sets us apart among nations.

94 STAT. 3782

It is a system that depends upon and rewards initiative and innovation, a system that offers opportunities to Americans from all walks of life, a system whose benefits accrue to each of us.

Today, our free enterprise system is buffeted by changes both at home and abroad. Inflation, the energy crisis, growing competition in world markets—all challenge our resourcefulness. To preserve the health of our system and our position in the international economy, we must work together to increase productivity by developing and implementing new techniques for the more effective use of raw materials, energy, machines, and our own labor. In the process, we will reaffirm our confidence in the American future.

In recognition of the importance of our enterprise system, the Congress in Senate Joint Resolution 109 has requested the proclamation of October 3,

Ante. p, 78.

1980, as American Enterprise Day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER. President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 3, 1980. as American Enterprise Day, and I urge business, labor, agricultural, educational, professional, consumer and civic groups, as well as the people of the United States generally, to observe American Enterprise Day with appropriate activities that promote appreciation of the American free enterprise system and its benefits.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.

National Diabetes Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Diabetes, a disorder in which the body is unable properly to convert nutrients into energy, affects approximately 10 million Americans. As the fifth leading cause of death by disease, it has become a serious and widespread public health problem. Diabetes is a major contributing factor to heart attacks, stroke, kidney failure and blood vessel disease, and the number of diabetics is increasing in all age groups. The medical cost of diabetes is also on the rise, approaching $7 billion annually—and that does not even take into account the complications of the disease. But the highest price of all is paid in terms of the quality of its victims’ lives.

Not since the discovery of insulin over half a century ago. however, has the outlook for advances in the treatment, cure and ultimate prevention of diabetes been as promising as it is today. In recent years, research has yielded new and exciting information about the causes and treatment of diabetes and its complications.

42 USC 201 note.

The National Diabetes Mellitus Research and Education Act of 1974 provided the impetus for the intensified research effort now under way in hospitals and medical centers around the country. The Federal Government, in cooperation with private voluntary organizations, is leading the research 94 STAT. 3783challenge with a multiagency attack on the disease. This continuing coordinated approach is expected to lead not only to more effective methods of diabetes control but eventually to a reduction in the impact of this disease on the people and economy of this Nation.

By Joint Resolution enacted April 2, 1980 (Public Law 96–224), the Congress

has designated the week beginning October 5, 1980. as National Diabetes Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 5 through October 11, 1980 as National Diabetes Week and I call upon the people of the United States to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and Fifth.

Child Health Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

All the wealth in the world, in its various forms, and all the progress that man has ever achieved would be meaningless were it not for the children who will some day receive it as a legacy. Our children give our lives continuity and meaning, and it is imperative that we do our utmost to give them, in return, the chance to live rich, vigorous and rewarding lives.

The infant mortality rate in the United States has steadily decreased during this century and is now the lowest in our history—but it is not low enough. Statistically, a child born in this country today can expect 73.2 years of healthy and productive living, but many of our children still die in childhood or infancy.

The health of our children and our posterity requires unfailing vigilance and dedication. Accordingly, I have proposed to the Congress this year a Child Health Assurance Plan to help ensure adequate health care for all American children.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Monday, October 6, 1980. as Child Health Day.

I urge all Americans to join me in the task of planning, promoting and providing for the physical, environmental and mental health needs of our children.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.

National Farm-City Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The Nation’s most basic resources are the food and fiber produced on American farms. As these supplies are used, they are renewed each growing season. Without food and fiber, all else would cease.

The production of our food and fiber is the most common example of the use of solar energy. Plants, through interaction with the sun’s rays, capture solar energy and package it in the usable form of food and fiber.

These actions are so taken for granted that we may overlook the phenomena of interdependence between sun and plants that is so basic to our well-being. Without plants, the earth would be a barren planet, incapable of sustaining life; and without energy from the sun. the earth would be an uninhabitable globe whirling in space.

We may also take our national food and fiber abundance so much for granted that we overlook the interdependence of farms, which produce our food and fiber, and cities, which process the food and fiber and distribute it within easy reach of each of us. Without farms, cities would be barren monuments of concrete, and without cities, farms would be primitive forms of economic life.

To achieve a better appreciation of the contributions and cooperation of farms and cities, the Nation has set aside a week in November as National Farm-City Week. The theme is “Farm and City, Partners in Progress—Key to the Future.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER. President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the period November 21 through November 27, 1980, as National Farm-City Week.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, 1 have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.

4782 August 25, 1980 Fire Prevention Week, 1980 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4782 of August 25, 1980
Fire Prevention Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Fire causes more loss of life and property in the United States than all other natural catastrophes combined. Fire is the second most frequent cause of accidental death in the home.

94 STAT. 3785

The human costs of fire and borne disproportionately by career and volunteer firefighters. Their profession is one of America’s most hazardous.

Each year approximately 8,500 Americans die; another 300,000 are injured in fires and $5 billion worth of property is destroyed. America loses more to Tire than most other countries in the industrialized world.

In an effort to alter this tragic situation, the Administration has implemented a Reorganization Plan, placing the United States Fire Administration’s fire programs in the Federal Emergency Management Agency. This agency now coordinates America’s disaster preparedness and response efforts, and, within it, the fire service still stands as the First Responder, with the capability and mission to contain, mitigate or resolve emergencies.

Yet the Federal government alone cannot reduce America’s fire losses. The public and private sector must do their part. Together, working as a team, we can lessen the unnecessary, life-threatening destruction caused by fire.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do designate the week of October 5 through 11 as Fire Prevention Week.

Because fire deaths most often occur in homes, I call upon American familites and other property owners to install smoke detectors, to practice exit drills, and to be especially vigilant in guarding against fires. I further urge all citizens already possessing smoke detectors to use this week to test their devices to ensure their operational status.

I support and encourage the cooperative efforts of private enterprise and government in developing low cost residential sprinkler systems that may revolutionize fire safety in the home.

I encourage the fire service, police, prosecutors, the insurance industry and governmental agencies to continue to work together to improve arson prevention and control measures. Arson remains America’s fastest growing crime and we need total commitment to combat it.

I call upon every fire department in the country to improve the delivery of emergency medical services and to teach citizens the fundamentals of basic life support and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.

I urge the fire service to open their profession fully to women.

I encourage the fire service to take full advantage of the National Fire Academy.

I acknowledge the National Fire Protection Association and its affiliate, the Fire Marshals Association of North America, for their sponsorship of this week’s international observance.

Finally, I call upon members of the Joint Council of National Fire Service Organizations, members of the International Association of Fire Fighters, members of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, all other organizations concerned with fire safety, and the United States Fire Administration to provide the leadership, planning and innovation necessary for an effective national fire prevention and control effort.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.

4783 August 25, 1980 White Cane Safety Day, 1980 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 94 STAT. 3786 Proclamation 4783 of August 25, 1980
White Cane Safety Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

In every activity of daily life, most of us depend upon our sight. We take for granted the ability to wend our way through the woods, dodge children and bicycles on the sidewalk, and navigate around cars at busy intersections. As a result, we rarely stop to consider that these everyday activities can be hazardous to the six million Americans who are blind or partially sighted.

Fortunately, visually handicapped people have a distinctive tool available to them which can help in these potentially dangerous situations. That tool is a white cane.

Using the cane as an extension of the body, a sightless person can explore unfamiliar environments, locate landmarks, and find a path free of obstacles. Thanks to this simple aid, millions of visually handicapped persons are able to move about their communities with a degree of independence that would otherwise be denied them.

As valuable as the white cane is, however, it cannot warn its user of hazards more than a few feet away. It cannot detect rapidly moving vehicles, joggers, and young people on roller skates. Therefore, we must all be alert to the needs of people who carry the white cane. Often a gesture as simple as yielding the right-of-way to a visually handicapped person, or offering assistance when it seems to be needed, can make the difference between a safe journey and a hazardous one. In this way, we can help visually handicapped people overcome the difficulties that threaten to limit the freedom of movement that all of us value so highly. To heighten public awareness of the importance of the white cane to the independence and safety of blind and partially sighted Americans, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved October 6, 1964 (78 Stat. 1003; 36 U.S.C. 169d) has authorized the President to proclaim October 15 of each year as White Cane Safety Day.

NOW, THEREFORE. I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 15, 1980, as White Cane Safety Day.

I urge all Americans to observe this day by reflecting on the accomplishments of the blind and visually handicapped, by showing sensitivity to the rights and needs of all handicapped citizens, and by resolving to aid them in their continuing struggle for independence.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.

National Employ the Handicapped Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Our Nation is moving strongly toward greater equality for people with physical and mental disabilities.

The United Nations has designated next year as the International Year of Disabled Persons. As President, I not only reaffirm this country’s commitment to equality for handicapped individuals, I intend to make every effort to see that the coming decade is one in which their aspirations are fulfilled.

We must do all we can to give the handicapped maximum independence, full access to our society, and the opportunity to develop and use their talents and skills. This must be done case by case, event by event, and program by program. Working together, we can make certain that disabled people at last enter completely into the mainstream of our great society.

To affirm our commitment to independence for handicapped individuals, the Congress, by joint resolution of August 11, 1945, as amended (36 U.S.C. 155). has called for the designation of the first full week in October each year as National Employ the Handicapped Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning October 5, 1980, as National Employ the Handicapped Week, I urge all Governors. Mayors, other public officials, leaders in business and labor, and private citizens at all levels of responsibility to help remove the barriers to equal opportunity for handicapped individuals and to help them in their search for productive employment.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.

Women’s Equality Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

America struck a blow for justice on August 26, 1920, when the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote, became law. On this 60th anniversary, American women and men recall how far we have come on the road toward equal opportunity for all Americans and reaffirm our commitment to full equality for women. We celebrate today the achievements 94 STAT. 3788of the past, but even more we celebrate our dream for a future in which all Americans share equally in the rights and responsibilities of this land.

Social and political change is never easy, as we know by the sacrifices of the early Suffragists. Courageous and high-principled, these women wrote, marched and argued for their cause through long years of delay and disappointment, but they never accepted defeat. Only a few weeks before her death at 86, Susan B. Anthony addressed a convention on the theme, “Failure is impossible!” They knew the rightness of their cause, and found the will and courage to create a climate of change. We can best honor their memory today by continuing their crusade.

In the intervening years women have faithfully carried out responsibilities at all levels of government, in every area of employment and education, and in the nurturing of families and children. Yet many of the rights that should accompany those responsibilities are missing. Despite our hard-won progress, the rights of women vary from state to state. The Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution, which would set a clear national standard outlawing discrimination against women, is still an unfulfilled promise. Thanks to the efforts of millions of women and men, 35 states have ratified the Equal Rights Amendment. We have until June, 1982, to complete the ratification process in three more states and make the principle of equality a Constitutional guarantee.

Today, I reaffirm my own commitment to make the Equal Rights Amendment part of our Constitution. I urge all Americans to rekindle the spirit of early Suffragists, to use their energies, their wisdom and their compassion to achieve full equality for women. To advance the cause of women’s rights is to advance the cause of human rights.

NOW. THEREFORE. I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim August 26, 1980 as Women’s Equality Day.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.

Working Mothers’ Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

In greater numbers than ever before, American mothers are taking on important job responsibilities outside the home. In workplaces across our Nation and in every occupation, more than 16 million employed mothers are contributing their valuable skills to the labor force. In fact, more than half of all the mothers in this country have taken on jobs outside the home, and it is estimated that by 1990. 75% of all two-parent families will have both parents in the work force.

94 STAT. 3789

On the job and in the home, working mothers are making a vital contribution to the national economy and to the strength of the American family. Working mothers do not shed homemaking and parental responsibilities; they merely add the demands of a job to those of wife and mother. As we recognize the hard work and dedication of these women, we also acknowledge the many special problems they confront in meeting their dual responsibilities. We have an obligation to reinforce and support them in their endeavors.

To give special recognition to working mothers for fulfilling their exceptional responsibilities in the home and in the world of commerce, the House of Representatives (House Joint Resolution 379) has requested that I designate August 31, 1980. as Working Mothers’ Day. I fully support this Resolution.

NOW THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER. President of the United States of America, do hereby designate August 31, 1980. as Working Mothers’ Day and call upon families, individual citizens, labor and civic organizations, and the business community to recognize publicly the unique contributions of mothers currently in the work force, and to honor former generations of working mothers for their important role in building American society.

Each year on the eleventh of October, the American people pay tribute to the memory of General Casimir Pulaski. In doing so they not only honor this great Polish champion of American freedom but also give recognition to the ties between our two nations, to the contributions of millions of other Polish-Americans to the birth and development of this country, and to the indivisibility of freedom everywhere.

By giving his life on the battlefield of our revolution, General Pulaski has provided inspiration to generations of his countrymen—in the United States and in Poland.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER. President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Saturday, October 11, 1980, as General Pulaski’s Memorial Day, and I direct the appropriate Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on that day.

Columbus Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

On October 12, 1492, an Italian sea captain and his crew, having sailed into the western void in three fragile craft, touched land and revealed a New World to the astonished eyes of the old.

The Genoese Christopher Columbus, sailing for his royal Spanish patrons in search of fortune, glory and the validation of his dream, found these and more.

Today, almost five centuries later, we still honor Columbus for the stout heart and tenacity of purpose that sustained his exploits. He inspired an age of exploration and a continuing era of victory over the forces of complacency and ignorance.

As we prepare to commemorate the four hundred eighty-eighth anniversary of Columbus’s historic landfall, we of the New World can pay no greater tribute to his memory than to keep alive that spark of hope and nerve that never failed him and has never failed us.

36 USC 146.

5 USC 6103 and note.

In tribute to the achievement of Columbus, the Congress of the United States of America, by joint resolution approved April 30, 1934 (48 Stat. 657), as modified by the Act of June 28, 1968 (82 Stat. 250), requested the President to proclaim the second Monday in October of each year as Columbus Day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Monday, October 13, 1980. as Columbus Day; and I invite the people of this Nation to observe that day in schools, churches, and other suitable places with appropriate ceremonies in his honor.

I also direct that the flag of the United States of America be displayed on all public buildings on the appointed day in memory of Christopher Columbus.

United Nations Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

This year marks the 35th Anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, an organization dedicated to maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations, and achieving international cooperation in solving global problems. Today 153 nations work within the United Nations framework to resolve some of the most crucial problems of our time.

Never has the United Nations been more important to the United States and to the world than it is today. The past year has seen momentous international events. Many have not yet run their full course but have already changed the way we see the world around us. We have become more conscious of the risks of war and more aware of the urgent tasks of peace.

Today, peace is threatened in many ways. There are the visible threats like the invasion by a super power of an innocent, defenseless land. And, there are the more subtle threats of hunger, spiraling inflation, inadequate health care, and depleted natural and monetary resources. These threats have filled the United Nations with a strong sense of the urgency of creating an international system based on active and equitable, social and economic cooperation among the countries of the North and South.

The United Nations, through the work of its specialized agencies and programs, its regional organizations and international conferences, has become an indispensable frontline defense against the events and forces that threaten world stability. It has played a central role in setting the pace and direction for international cooperation in an interdependent world.

The United States has always been an active and dedicated supporter of the United Nations. As President, I have been proud to carry on and expand this tradition. My Administration continues to be firmly committed to a strong United Nations system.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Friday, October 24, 1980, as United Nations Day. I urge all Americans to use this day as an opportunity to better acquaint themselves with the activities and accomplishments of the United Nations.

I have appointed Mr. Charles L. Brown to serve as 1980 United States National Chairman for United Nations Day, and the United Nations Association of the United States of America to work with him in celebrating this special day. I invite all the American people, and people everywhere, to join me in expressing sincere and steadfast support for the United Nations on its thirty-fifth anniversary. It is only through multilateral institutions like the United Nations that the solutions to our ever more urgent global problems will be found.

The vast, unforgettable forests of America have always been one of our most precious treasures. Today, we have some 740 million acres of wood-land—roughly one-third of the Nation’s land area. This vast resource provides many of the products we depend upon—lumber for our homes, paper for recording our thoughts, fuel for heating and cooking, and the basic elements of thousands of other products.

Seventy-five years ago, the Forest Service was created within the United States Department of Agriculture to help conserve and protect America’s forestlands. The dedicated men and women of this agency can be proud of their accomplishments. The science of forestry has made great strides. Today, researchers are finding ways to speed the growth of trees; discovering new methods for protecting forests from fire, insects, and disease; and developing production methods for more fully utilizing our wood resources. New methods for extracting energy from wood are also under development to help solve the Nation’s energy problems.

Progress is also being made in the effort to ensure that adequate areas of our forests are preserved in their natural state for the enjoyment and benefit of Americans both now and in the future. Congress is now considering my recommendations for classifying an additional 15.4 million acres as wilderness within the National Forest System. These lands, in addition to the wilderness already created by Congress, will preserve the pristine quality of more than 30 million acres of National Forest.

While our forests continue to meet our demands for wood and recreation today, careful management is needed if they are to continue to do so in the future. All of us need to become more aware of the role woodlands play, directly and indirectly, in our lives. We must strive to improve our small woodlots as well as our large, professionally managed, public and private forests.

In order to promote awareness and to recognize the efforts of the thousands of men and women who have devoted their lives to managing this valuable resource, the Congress has designated the third week in October as National Forest Products Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of October 19 through October 25, 1980, as National Forest Products Week and ask all Americans to demonstrate their appreciation of the value of forests through suitable activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.

Veterans Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Each year we set aside a special day to thank America’s veterans for their unselfish sacrifice and service.

On Veterans Day, 1980, we pay tribute to 30 million living and 14 million deceased patriots who served in our Armed Forces so that you and 1 might live in freedom. We must honor these men and women as they deserve, not only with special ceremonies, not only through our support of veterans’ benefits and services, but also by committing ourselves anew to the task of ensuring that the freedoms they helped to preserve and the Nation they fought to defend will be safe and secure for future generations of Americans.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby invite every citizen of our great country to join with me in observing Veterans Day on Tuesday, November 11, 1980. with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

I call upon all Americans to support the Veterans Day theme—“A Grateful Nation Remembers”—and I urge families, friends, neighbors and fellow citizens to show their gratitude by visiting ill and disabled veterans in Veterans Administration medical centers across the country.

I ask that Federal. State, and local government officials arrange for the display of the flag of the United States on this special day—the flag under which our veterans served with honor, pride, and distinction.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America, the two hundred and fifth.

4792 September 15, 1980 Proclamation To Suspend in Part the Tariff Concessions on Certain Lead Products and To Correct Technical Errors Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4792 of September 15, 1980
Proclamation To Suspend in Part the Tariff Concessions on Certain Lead Products and To Correct Technical Errors By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. On October 31, 1979, under the authority of section 101(a)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974 (the Trade Act) (19 U.S.C. 2111(a)(1)), the United States entered into a trade agreement with the United Mexican States (Mexico) containing certain tariff concessions by the United States. These tariff concessions94 STAT. 3794

19 USC 2111 note.

were implemented by Proclamation No. 4707 of December 11, 1979, beginning January 1, 1980. This agreement provides that, under certain circumstances which now exist, the United States may suspend or withdraw these concessions in whole or in part 2. An expectation, which this agreement stated to be the basis for the United States concessions therein, has not materialized, and only partially equivalent substitute concessions have been received from Mexico. 3. Section 125 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2135) authorizes the President, following public hearings, to withdraw, suspend, or modify the application of trade agreement obligations of the United States under certain circumstances, which now exist. Public hearings on possible modification or suspension of concessions to Mexico were held on June 12, 1980. by the Office of the United States Trade Representative. 4. I have decided, under the provisions regarding suspension in the October 31, 1979 agreement and under section 125 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2135), to suspend in part, until otherwise proclaimed by the President, the tariff concessions which were granted to Mexico in the October 31, 1979 agreement because adequate substitute compensatory concessions have not been provided by Mexico at this time. 5.

19 USC 2111 note; ante, p. 3765.

Increase in the Rate of Duty for Certain Textile Articles From the European Communities By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. On February 20, 1980, the European Communities announced the imposition of quotas, under Article XIX of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) (61 Stat. (pt. 5) A 58; 8 UST (pt. 2) 1786), on polyester filament yam and polyamide (nylon) carpet yam. imported into the United Kingdom on or after January 1, 1980. These quotas apply to exports from sources including the United States but exclude certain other countries. 2. On March 10, 1980, pursuant to Article X1X:2 of the GATT, the United States and the European Communities entered into consultations on this issue. These consultations have been suspended. The United States took note of certain trade liberalizing measures taken by the European Communities. An understanding has also been reached between the United States and the European Communities concerning the impact on the trade of the United States of excluding the products of certain other countries from the quotas. The quotas imposed by the European Communities are scheduled to expire on December 31, 1980. The actions taken to date by the European Communities including the above-mentioned liberalizing measures and the understanding, would not constitute adequate compensation if the quotas are extended beyond December 31, 1980. 3. Section 125(d) of the Trade Act of 1974 (the Trade Act) (19 U.S.C. 2135(d)) authorizes the President, following public hearings, to withdraw, suspend, or modify the application of trade agreement obligations of the United States which are substantially equivalent to those which have been withdrawn, suspended or modified by a foreign country or instrumentality, or to proclaim under section 125(c) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2135(c)) such increased duties or other import restrictions as are appropriate to effect adequate compensation from that foreign country or instrumentality. Public hearings on possible modification or suspension of concessions to the European Communities were held on April 3, 1980, at the Office of the United States Trade Representative. 4. I have decided, pursuant to section 125(c) of the Trade Act to increase the duty on the textile articles listed in the Annex to this proclamation, the product of any member country of the European Communities, effective January 1, 1981, if the aforementioned import restrictions are extended by the European Communities beyond December 31, 1980, without providing adequate compensation.

If the USTR makes such a determination (published in the Federal Register), the modifications to the TSUS made by this proclamation shall not take effect. (3) Conforming modifications shall be made to Part I of Schedule XX to the GATT when the actions set forth in the Annex to this proclamation become effective.

National Day of Prayer, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Our Nation’s current electoral process is both testimony and example of the power of free men and women to govern themselves. Our forebears, drawing from a faith in the people rooted in a firm faith in God, launched this grand experiment in responsible self-government. In the days ahead, no matter what our individual political convictions, we can all be grateful for the honor and integrity of this noble process.

Without trying to impose our will on other nations, let us continue to hold high the torch of liberty and democracy that has illumined our land. Laying aside arrogance and false pride, let us continue to urge self-determination and human rights as the best way for peoples everywhere to realize their own full destiny.

Let us pray that freedom, in all its manifestations, may be the reality of the present and the wave of the future. Let us pray that people everywhere will be free—free even to make their own mistakes as they struggle to build a life of material security and spiritual satisfaction.

94 STAT. 3799

As we pray, let us never forget the American citizens in Iran who remain hostages in fundamental violation of the teachings of the world’s religions. Let us also pray that harmony and stability will come to the people of Iran, leading both to the safe return of our brothers and sisters and to a better life for all in that troubled land.

Recognizing our need for prayer, the Congress, by Joint Resolution, approved April 17, 1952 (36 U.S.C. 169h: 66 Stat. 64), has called upon the President to set aside a suitable day each year as a National Day of Prayer.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Monday. October 6, 1980, as a National Day of Prayer. I further ask that all who so desire make this a Day of Fast as well.

Finally, may He grant freedom to all unjustly held captive, and may He grant us His vision of a world at peace.

National School Lunch Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The future of our country lies in our children. Nutrition is vital in insuring that they reach their full potential—physically, emotionally and intellectually

The National School Lunch Program provides nourishing lunches to 27 million children every school day. Studies show that nutritious meals help increase the attention span and learning capabilities of students. School lunches also help children learn good dietary habits. Cafeterias can become learning laboratories, especially when menus are related to nutrition instruction in the classroom.

Recently, many changes have been made to improve the lunch program in American schools. Thousands of people have contributed to this effort. Principals, teachers and parents. Federal, state and local officials have joined school food service personnel in improving the quality, appearance and nutrition of school meals. Students themselves have been involved through youth advisory committees. I want to recognize these individuals for their concern and their work in over 95,000 schools across the country. Their continued involvement will contribute to a healthier generation.

In recognition of the School Lunch Program’s contribution to America’s youth, the Congress, by a joint resolution of October 9, 1962 (76 Stat. 779; 36 U.S.C. 168). has designated the week beginning the second Sunday of October in each year as National School Lunch Week and has requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for its appropriate observance.

94 STAT. 3800

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER. President of the United States of America, do hereby urge the people of the United States to observe the week of October 12 as National School Lunch Week and to give special attention to activities that will promote good nutrition to America’s youth.

American Education Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Nothing is of greater importance to the future of America than education. The survival of our free institutions, the health of our economy, the power of our ideals depend on the vitality of our educational system.

The theme of this year’s American Education Week—an event we have celebrated for more than sixty years—is “Education in the 80’s: Preparation for the Future.” Our future will be determined by how well we pass along our knowledge and our values to our children.

American Education Week affords all of us time to think about the needs, the importance, and the hopes for education. And it gives us a time to acknowledge the accomplishments of an education system that serves more than 58 million young people and adults. We have much to be proud of—our schools, our teachers, and the administrators who make the system work. But there is more progress to be made and more work ahead of us.

I invite all Americans to join me in reaffirming our commitment to the excellence and equality of the educational opportunity offered to every individual in our Nation. Education is everyone’s concern.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the period of November 16 through 22, 1980, as American Education Week.

National Port Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Our Nation’s seaports and river ports, operated by local and State authorities. are indispensable to our national prosperity and international commerce.

Historically, waterborne commerce has been a key element in the development and growth of most of the Nation’s major population and commercial centers. Today public and privately owned marine terminals, valued at about $54 billion, are expected to handle almost two billion short tons of foreign and domestic oceanborne cargo in 1980.

In addition to the economic benefits provided by our ports, they play a leading role in logistical support of our military forces. Our port system has been and will continue to be vital in maintaining our national security.

The Congress has by House joint Resolution 551 requested the President to

National Lupus Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Systemic lupus erythematosus (also known as lupus, or SLE) is a serious connective tissue disorder, affecting an estimated 500,000 Americans. Almost 90 percent of its victims are young women.

In the systemic form, lupus can affect almost any part of the body, often producing abormalities in the kidney, heart, skin, joints, and other internal organs.

94 STAT. 3802

The outlook for victims of lupus has vastly improved in recent years. In 1955, the survival rate for lupus victims was only 50 percent four years after diagnosis. Now. more than 80 percent of lupus patients are alive 10 years after their disease has been identified. This increased survival is due to a greater awareness of the disease, better diagnostic methods, and development of more effective drug therapies. Nevertheless, an estimated 50,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, and much additional research is needed to pinpoint the underlying cause of this disease and to discover methods for preventing or halting its progression.

In the last few years, progress has been made toward better understanding of lupus. Public and privately-supported medical research and education mean that each year thousands of patients can look forward to improved treatment, and the opportunity to live happier and more productive lives. However, new research findings and new approaches for improved treatment and diagnosis are needed if we are ever to eliminate lupus as a cause of human suffering and to improve the quality of life in our society for its victims.

The Congress has, by Senate Joint Resolution 201, authorized and requested the President to designate the week of October 19 through October 25, 1980, as National Lupus Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER. President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of October 19 through October 25, 1980, as National Lupus Week. 1 invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and officials of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to issue similar proclamations.

I urge the people of the United States and educational, philanthropic, scientific, medical, and health care organizations and professions to provide the necessary assistance and resources to discover the cause and cure of systemic lupus erythematosus and the other rheumatic diseases and to alleviate the suffering of all persons struck by these disorders.

Columbus Day is a symbol of the debt our Nation owes to Italian-Americans.

During the past four hundred years, millions of Italians have become Italian-Americans. Many of them arrived in this country without money or property or friends. They had only the hope of opportunity and the strength of their character. They took advantage of opportunities which America of-94 STAT. 3803fered and the result has been an extraordinary contribution to every facet of American life.

In recognition of the many contributions

The USITC determined that mushrooms, prepared or preserved, provided for in item 144.20 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States (TSUS) (19 U.S.C. 1202), are being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as to be a substantial cause of serious injury, or the threat thereof, to the domestic industry producing an article like or directly competitive with the imported article. The USITC recommended the imposition of quantitative restrictions on imports of the above specified mushrooms. 2. On October 17, 1980. pursuant to section 202(b)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2252(b)(1)), and after taking into account the considerations specified in section 202(c) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2252(c)), I determined to remedy the injury, or threat thereof, found to exist by the USITC by proclaiming a temporary duty increase. On October 17, 1980, in accordance with section 203(b)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(b)(1)), 1 transmitted a report to the Congress setting forth my determination and intention to proclaim a temporary duty increase and stating the reason why my decision differed from the action recommended by the USITC. 94 STAT. 3804 3. Section 203(e)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(e)(1)) requires that import relief be proclaimed and take effect within 15 days after the import relief determination date. 4. Pursuant to sections 203(a)(1) and 203(e)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(a)(1) and 2253(e)(1)), I am providing import relief through the temporary increase of the import duty on the subject mushrooms.

JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the statutes of the United States, including sections 604 and 203 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483 and 2253). and in accordance with Article XIX of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) (61 Stat.

Wright Brothers Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Seventy-seven years ago on December 17, at Kitty Hawk. North Carolina, the Wright Brothers launched man into the age of powered flight. Though 94 STAT. 3805 their historic first flight lasted but 12 seconds, inventors Orville and Wilbur Wright accomplished what mankind had dreamed of for centuries.

The development of the airplane is one of the most remarkable achievements of the Twentieth Century. Because of it, barriers of time and distance have lost much of their social and political significance to the world family of nations.

In the three generations since that historic flight in 1903. aviation has grown to become one of America’s greatest enterprises; one of its largest employers; a fundamental ingredient in the national economy; a mighty deterrent against aggression and a prime defender of peace. Our air transportation system is the greatest in the world and the primary public carrier in the United States. Moreover, some eighty-five percent of the aircraft in use throughout the world are of United States manufacture, and the free world’s seven largest airlines are United States flag carriers.

To commemorate the historic achievement of the Wright Brothers, the Congress. by joint resolution of December 17, 1963 (77 Stat. 402; 36 U.S.C. 169). designated the seventeenth day of December of each year as Wright Brothers Day and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation inviting the people of the United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of this Nation, and their local and national government officials, to observe Wright Brothers Day on December 17, 1980, both to perpetuate the memory of the Wright Brothers’ single achievement and to stimulate American pride in the furtherance of this Nation’s aeronautical progress.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.

Thanksgiving Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The greatest bounty of our Nation is the bounty of our heritage—our diversity as immigrants and descendants of immigrants, our common identity as Americans.

We have set aside one day a year to give thanks for all that we have. Yet Thanksgiving is more than just a day of celebration. It is also a commemoration—of the day America’s earliest inhabitants sat down to table with European colonists.

That occasion was historic not only because it established a national holiday. but because it marked the start of a national tradition of cooperation, unity and tolerance.

94 STAT. 3806

Even in times of trial and frustration we have much to be thankful for, in our personal lives and in our Nation. As we pause on Thanksgiving to offer thanks to Cod, we should not forget that we also owe thanks to this country’s forefathers who had the vision to join together in Thanksgiving, and who gave us so much of the vision of brotherhood that is ours today.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER. President of the United States of America, do proclaim Thursday, the 27th of November, 1960 as Thanksgiving Day. I call upon all the people of our Nation to give thanks on that day for the blessings Almighty God has bestowed upon us. and to join the fervent prayer of George Washington who as President asked God to “, . . impart all the blessings we possess, or ask for ourselves to the whole family of mankind.”

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.

Bill of Rights Day

Human Rights Day and Week, 1980

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

On December 15, 1791, the Bill of Rights became part of the Constitution of the United States. On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Marking these anniversaries together gives us an opportunity to renew our dedication both to our own liberties and to the promotion of human rights everywhere.

The Bill of Rights carries with it an implied responsibility for the governed as well as for the governing. No American citizen can rest satisfied until the Bill of Rights is a living reality for every person in the United States, irrespective of race, religion, sex, national or ethnic origin. We cannot simply rely on the decency of government or the alertness of an active free press. Each individual must shoulder his or her share of the responsibility for seeing that our freedoms will survive.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the cornerstone of a developing international consensus on human rights. Through it, the members of the United Nations undertake to promote, respect and observe human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without discrimination. We must continuously monitor the progress of this effort and the records of governments around the world.

The promise of the Declaration is remote to all those who suffer summary executions and torture, acts of genocide, arbitrary arrest and imprisonment, banishment, internal exile, forced labor, and confinement for political cause. It is remote to the countless refugees who flee their lands in response to the elimination of their human rights. It is remote to those sub-94 STAT. 3807 jected to armed invasions or to military coups that destroy democratic processes. The Declaration will ring hollow to that segment of a population discriminated against by laws of apartheid or by restrictions on religious freedom. It will ring hollow to those threatened by violations of freedom of assembly, association, expression and movement, and by the suppression of trade unions.

The Declaration must also ring hollow to the members of the U.S. Embassy staff who have been held captive for more than a year by the Government of Iran. The cause of human rights is embattled throughout the world. Recent events make it imperative that we, as Americans, stand firm in our insistence that the values embodied in the Bill of Rights, and contained in the Universal Declaration, be enjoyed by all.

I urge all Americans to support ratification of the Genocide Convention, the Convention of the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination, the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the American Convention on Human Rights. I renew my request to the Senate to give its advice and consent to these important treaties.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim December 10, 1980, as Human Rights Day and December 15, 1980, as Bill of Rights Day, and call on all Americans to observe Human Rights Week beginning December 10, 1980. It should be a time set apart for the study of our own rights, so basic to the working of our society, and for a renewal of our efforts on behalf of the human rights of all peoples everywhere.

IN WITNESSES WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.

Special Limited Global Import Quota for Upland Cotton By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Section 103(f)(1) of the Agricultural Act of 1949. as added by Section 602 of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977 (the Act) (91 Stat. 913, 934; 7 U.S.C. 1444(f)(1)), provides that whenever the Secretary of Agriculture determines that the average price of Strict Low Middling one and one-sixteenth inch cotton (micronaire 3.5 through 4.9), hereinafter referred to as “Strict Low Middling Cotton,” in the designated United States spot markets for a month exceeded 130 per centum of the average price of such quality of cotton in such markets for the preceding thirty-six months, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, the President shall immediately establish and proclaim a special limited global import quota for upland cotton. A quota, effective from April 3 through July 2, 1980, was placed in effect by Proclamation No. 4742.

Ante, p. 3734.

 94 STAT. 3808 2. When a special quota has been established during the preceding twelve months, the amount of the next quota is to be the smaller of twenty-one days of domestic mill consumption of upland cotton at the seasonally adjusted average rate of the most recent three months for which data are available or the amount required to increase the supply to 130 percent of the demand. The quota is to remain in effect for a ninety-day period. 3. The Secretary of Agriculture has informed me that he has determined that the average price of Strict Low Middling Cotton in the designated spot markets for the month of September 1980 has exceeded 130 per centum of the average price of such cotton in such markets for the preceding thirty-six months. The Secretary’s determination was based upon the following data: (a) The average price of Strict Low Middling Cotton in the designated spot markets for the month of September 1980 was 87.1 cents per pound. (b) The average price of Strict Low Middling Cotton in the designated spot markets for the thirty-six months preceding the month of September 1980 (September 1977 through August 1980) was 62.85 cents per pound. 4. Twenty-one days of domestic mill consumption of upland cotton, which is any variety of the Gossypium hirsutum species of cotton, at the seasonally adjusted rate of the most recent three months for which data are available (June 1980 through August 1980) is 238,633,920 pounds. 5. On the basis of computations made in accordance with Section 103(f)(1) of the Act, a quantity of 261,757,920 pounds of upland cotton is required to increase the supply of such cotton to 130 percent of the demand therefor.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Statutes of the United States of America, including Section 103(f)(1) of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as added by Section 602 of the Food and Agriculture Act of

7 USC 1444.

1977, and in order to establish a special ninety-day limited global import quota for 238,633,920 pounds of upland cotton, do proclaim that the temporary provision set forth in item 955.07 of Part 3 of the Appendix to the Tariff

19 USC 1202.

Schedules of the United States is hereby amended to read as follows:

“Item Article Quota quantity (in pounds)
955.07    
  Notwithstanding any other quantitative limitations on the importation of cotton, upland cotton, if accompanied by an original certificate of an official of a government agency of the country in which the cotton was produced attesting to the fact that cotton is a variety of the Gossypium hirsutum species of cotton, may be entered during the 90-day period November 28, 1980 through February 25, 1981  
    238.638.920 pounds”

National Family Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The American family has been the most resilient, dynamic force in the growth and development of our Nation. Yet its influence is so subtle that we tend to take for granted the vital functions it performs as the source of love, support, and guidance, the wellspring of courage, determination and inspiration.

National Family Week gives us a chance to highlight the special contributions and needs of the family, to acknowledge the new challenges that American families now face, and to act on the many significant recommendations generated by the White House Conference on Families.

It is a time to seek ways to strengthen and support the family—a time to renew the realization that the fundamental integrity and vitality of the Nation relies on the underlying health of the American family.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of

Modification of Import Controls on Peanuts On Behalf of the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Item 951.00 of Part 3 of the Appendix to the Tariff Schedules of the United States provides that no more than 1,709.000 pounds of peanuts described

19 USC 1202.

 therein may be imported into the United States during any 12 month period beginning August 1 in any year. This limitation was proclaimed by the President in Proclamation No. 3019 of June 8, 1953 (18 FR 3361) and was amended in subsequent proclamations, under the authority of Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933, as amended (7 U.S.C. 624). 2. The President has delegated his authority under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to peanuts, to94 STAT. 3810 me as United States Trade Representative by memorandum dated December 3, 1980. 3. I have been advised by the Secretary of Agriculture that there is a substantial deficit in the domestic supply of peanuts, of the type and physical description described below, which are suitable for edible use. I have been further advised by the Secretary of Agriculture that he has reason to believe that an additional quantity of the peanuts described below may be imported without rendering or tending to render ineffective, or materially interfering with, the price support program of the Department of Agriculture with respect to peanuts, or reducing substantially the amount of any product processed in the United States from peanuts with respect to which such program is being undertaken. 4. I agree that there is reason for such belief by the Secretary of Agriculture. Therefore, I am requesting the United States International Trade Commission to make an immediate investigation with respect to this matter pursuant to section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933, as amended (7 U.S.C. 624), and to report its findings and recommendations to me as soon as possible. 5. The Secretary of Agriculture has also determined and reported to me that a condition exists with respect to peanuts which requires emergency treatment. and that the modification in the quantitative import limitations hereinafter proclaimed should be imposed without awaiting the report and recommendations of the United States International Trade Commission. 6. 1 find and declare that a condition exists which requires emergency treatment and that, without awaiting the recommendations of the United States International Trade Commission with respect to such action, an additional quantity of peanuts should be permitted entry, as hereinafter proclaimed, in order to meet domestic requirements for peanuts suitable for edible use, until supplies become available from the 1981 domestic crop. I also find and declare that the entry of such quantities of peanuts, under the conditions hereinafter proclaimed, will not render or tend to render ineffective, or materially interfere with, the price support operations now being conducted by the Department of Agriculture for peanuts, or reduce substantially the amount of any product processed in the United States from domestic peanuts.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Reubin O’D. Askew. United States Trade Representative, acting pursuant to the authority vested in the President of the United States of America by the Constitution and Statutes of the United States of America, including section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act
