        housing assistance programs,''.

SEC. 3004. GNMA REMIC GUARANTEE FEES.

    Section 306(g)(3) of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 
1721(g)(3)) is amended by adding at the end the following new 
subparagraph:
    ``(E)(i) Notwithstanding subparagraphs (A) through (D), fees 
charged for the guarantee of, or commitment to guarantee, multiclass 
securities backed by a trust or pool of securities or notes guaranteed 
by the Association under this subsection, and other related fees shall 
be charged by the Association in an amount the Association deems 
appropriate. The Association shall take such action as may be necessary 
to reasonably assure that such portion of the benefit, resulting from 
the Association's multiclass securities program, as the Association 
determines is appropriate accrues to mortgagors who execute eligible 
mortgages after the date of the enactment of this subparagraph.
    ``(ii) In its annual report, the Association shall provide a 
summary of each activity of the Association pertaining to the 
Association's multiclass securities program. Each summary shall contain 
a description of the activity and shall include--
            ``(I) information pertaining to the size of the 
        transactions closed, the number of mortgages involved, the 
        amount of fees charged, those persons or entities receiving 
        payments for services provided and the amounts of such 
        payments; and
            ``(II) an estimate of the portion of the benefit of the 
        multiclass securities program accruing to mortgagors as well as 
        a description of any action taken by the Association to ensure 
        such accrual.
    ``(iii) The Association shall provide for the initial 
implementation of the program for which fees are charged under the 
first sentence of clause (i) by notice published in the Federal 
Register. The notice shall be effective upon publication and shall 
provide an opportunity for public comment. Not later than 12 months 
after publication of the notice, the Association shall issue 
regulations for such program based on the notice, comments received, 
and the experience of the Association in carrying out the program 
during such period.
    ``(iv) The Association shall consult with persons or entities in 
such manner as the Association deems appropriate to ensure the 
efficient commencement and operation of the multiclass securities 
program.
    ``(v) No State or local law, and no Federal law (except Federal law 
enacted expressly in limitation of this clause after the effective date 
of this subparagraph) shall preclude or limit the exercise by the 
Association of its power to contract with persons or entities, and its 
rights to enforce such contracts, for the purpose of ensuring the 
efficient commencement and continued operation of the multiclass 
securities program.
    ``(vi) Prior to the commencement of the multiclass securities 
program, the Association shall provide to the Committee on Banking, 
Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on Banking, 
Finance and Urban Affairs of the House of Representatives a report

SEC. 3005. MUTUAL MORTGAGE INSURANCE FUND PREMIUMS.

    To improve the actuarial soundness of the Mutual Mortgage Insurance 
Fund under the National Housing Act, the Secretary of Housing and Urban 
Development shall increase the rate at which the Secretary earns the 
single premium payment collected at the time of insurance of a mortgage 
that is an obligation of such Fund (with respect to the rate in effect 
on the date of the enactment of this Act). In establishing such 
increased rate, the Secretary shall consider any current audit findings 
and reserve analyses and information regarding the expected average 
duration of mortgages that are obligations of such Fund and may 
consider any other information that the Secretary determines to be 
appropriate.

              TITLE IV--COMMUNICATIONS AND TRANSPORTATION

              Subtitle A--Spectrum Allocation and Auction

SEC. 4001. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Emerging Telecommunications 
Technologies Act of 1993''.

SEC. 4002. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the Federal Government currently reserves for its own 
        use, or has priority of access to, approximately 40 percent of 
        the electromagnetic spectrum that is assigned for use pursuant 
        to the Communications Act of 1934;
            (2) many of such frequencies are underutilized by Federal 
        Government licensees;
            (3) the public interest requires that many of such 
        frequencies be utilized more efficiently by Federal Government 
        and non-Federal licensees;
            (4) additional frequencies are assigned for services that 
        could be obtained more efficiently from commercial providers or 
        other vendors;
            (5) scarcity of assignable frequencies for licensing by the 
        Commission can and will--
                    (A) impede the development and commercialization of 
                new telecommunications products and services;
                    (B) limit the capacity and efficiency of 
                telecommunications systems in the United States;
                    (C) prevent some State and local police, fire, and 
                emergency services from obtaining urgently needed radio 
                channels; and
                    (D) adversely affect the productive capacity and 
                international competitiveness of the United States 
                economy;
            (6) a reassignment of these frequencies can produce 
        significant economic returns;
            (7) a reassignment of Federal Government frequencies can be 
        accomplished without adverse impact on amateur radio licenses 
        that currently share allocations with Federal Government 
        stations;
            (8) current spectrum assignment procedures--comparative 
        hearings and lotteries--can be expensive and time consuming, 
        can strain the limited resources of the Federal Communications 
        Commission, and can result in an inefficient distribution of 
        spectrum and an unjustified windfall to speculators;
            (9) competitive bidding could reduce the cost in time and 
        money--and increase the efficiency--of the spectrum assignment 
        process for certain radio services, discourage speculative 
        applications, encourage the efficient use of spectrum by 
        licensees, and fairly compensate United States taxpayers for 
        use of a scarce public natural resource;
            (10) competitive bidding should be structured to--
                    (A) facilitate introduction of new spectrum-based 
                technologies and services and entry of new companies 
                into the telecommunications market;
                    (B) recognize the legitimate needs of rural 
                telephone companies in providing spectrum-based, common 
                carrier services in rural markets in which they provide 
                telephone exchange service by wire;
                    (C) give appropriate consideration to small 
                businesses and minority-owned businesses that want to 
                participate in the competitive bidding process;
                    (D) recognize the need to make reasonably priced 
                mobile communications services available to businesses 
                in rural areas;
                    (E) recognize the need to ensure that adequate 
                spectrum continues to be available for public safety 
                services; and
                    (F) otherwise further the public interest;
            (11) competitive bidding should apply only to the granting 
        of new spectrum licenses and should not--
                    (A) disrupt the operations of existing spectrum 
                licensees;
                    (B) alter existing spectrum allocation procedures;
                    (C) apply to certain services governed by public 
                interest regulations;
                    (D) diminish the existing authority of the Federal 
                Communications Commission to regulate or reclaim 
                spectrum licenses;
                    (E) prevent or discourage the allocation of 
                spectrum to meet the current or future needs of public 
                safety services; or
                    (F) grant any right to a spectrum licensee 
                different from the rights awarded to licensees who 
                obtain their license through assignment methods other 
                than competitive bidding;
            (12) in appropriating revenues received from competitive 
        bidding, priority should be given to--
                    (A) funding spectrum management, planning, 
                monitoring, and enforcement and other activities of the 
                Federal Communications Commission, the National 
                Telecommunications and Information Administration, and 
                other Federal agencies aimed at increasing the 
                efficiency and effectiveness of spectrum use, 
                facilitating the introduction of new spectrum-based 
                technologies and services, and enhancing the 
                international competitiveness of the United States and 
                the ability of American companies to enter new markets; 
                and
                    (B) extending the reach of public radio and 
                television to underserved areas of the United States 
                and underserved groups of Americans and enhancing the 
                ability of public telecommunications to deliver needed 
                original, high-quality public service programming; and
            (13) because commercial mobile services require a Federal 
        license and the Federal Government is attempting to promote 
        competition for such services, and because providers of such 
        services do not exercise market power vis-a-vis telephone 
        exchange service carriers and State regulation can be a barrier 
        to the development of competition in this market, uniform 
        national policy is necessary and in the public interest.

SEC. 4003. NATIONAL SPECTRUM PLANNING.

    (a) Planning Activities.--The Assistant Secretary of Commerce for 
Communications and Information and the Chairman of the Commission shall 
meet, at least biannually, to conduct joint spectrum planning with 
respect to the following issues:
            (1) the future spectrum requirements for public and private 
        uses, including State and local government public safety 
        agencies;
            (2) the spectrum allocation actions necessary to 
        accommodate those uses; and
            (3) actions necessary to promote the efficient use of the 
        spectrum, including spectrum management techniques to promote 
        increased shared use of the spectrum that does not cause 
        harmful interference, as a means of increasing commercial 
        access.
    (b) Report On Planning Activities.--Not later than 24 months after 
the date of enactment of this Act, the Assistant Secretary of Commerce 
for Communications and Information and the Chairman of the Commission 
shall submit a joint report to the Committee on Energy and Commerce of 
the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, 
and Transportation of the Senate on the joint spectrum planning 
activities conducted under subsection (a) and recommendations for 
action developed pursuant to such activities. The report shall contain 
recommendations for the reform of the process of allocating spectrum 
between Federal uses and non-Federal uses.
    (c) Procedures To Ensure Opportunity for Minority-Owned Businesses 
and Small Businesses.--The Commission shall develop procedures to 
ensure that minority-owned businesses and small businesses are given 
the opportunity to provide spectrum-based services. In developing such 
procedures, the Commission shall consider the use of tax certificates 
and bidding preferences.
    (d) Study on Spectrum Needs of Public Safety Agencies.--The 
Commission shall complete and submit to Congress, not later than 18 
months after the date of enactment of this Act, a study of current and 
future spectrum needs of State and local government public safety 
agencies through the year 2010, and a specific plan to satisfy those 
spectrum needs.

SEC. 4004. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REALLOCATION OF CERTAIN FREQUENCIES.

    (a) Identification Required.--For purposes of reallocation, the 
Secretary shall identify frequencies that--
            (1) are allocated on a primary basis for Federal Government 
        use;
            (2) are not required for the present or identifiable future 
        needs of the Federal Government;
            (3) can feasibly be made available, as of the date of such 
        identification or at any time during the next 15 years, for use 
        under the Act (other than for Federal Government stations under 
        section 305 of the Act) without resulting in costs to the 
        Federal Government, or loss of services or benefits to the 
        public, that are excessive in relation to the benefits to the 
        public that may be provided by non-Federal licensees; and
            (4) are most likely to have the greatest potential for 
        productive uses and public benefits under the Act if allocated 
        for commercial uses.
    (b) Minimum Amount of Spectrum Recommended.--
            (1) Overall recommendation.--In accordance with the 
        provisions of this section, the Secretary shall recommend for 
        reallocation, for use other than by Federal Government stations 
        under section 305 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 305), at least 200 
        megahertz of frequencies identified under subsection (a) that 
        are located below 5 gigahertz. At least one-half of such 
        frequencies shall be located below 3 gigahertz.
            (2) Mixed uses permitted to be counted.--Among the 
        frequencies recommended under this section for reallocation, 
        the Secretary may include frequencies and frequency bands that 
        are to be partially retained for use by Federal Government 
        stations but that are also recommended to be reallocated under 
        the Act for use by non-Federal stations, except that--
                    (A) such mixed-use frequencies and frequency bands 
                may not count toward more than one-half of the 200 
                megahertz minimum required by paragraph (1);
                    (B) such mixed-use frequencies and frequency bands 
                may not be so counted unless the assignments of the 
                frequencies to Federal Government stations under 
                section 305 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 305) are limited by 
                geographic area, by time, or by other means so as to 
                guarantee that the potential use to be made by such 
                Federal Government stations is substantially less (as 
                measured by geographic area, time, or otherwise) than 
                the potential use to be made by non-Federal stations; 
                and
                    (C) the operational sharing permitted under this 
                paragraph shall be subject to coordination procedures 
                that the Commission and the Secretary shall jointly 
                establish and implement to ensure against harmful 
                interference.
    (c) Consideration of Criteria for Identification.--
            (1) Needs of the federal government.--In determining 
        whether a frequency meets the criteria specified in subsection 
        (a)(2), the Secretary shall--
                    (A) consider whether the frequency is used to 
                provide a communications service that is or could be 
                made available from a commercial carrier or other 
                vendor;
                    (B) seek to promote--
                            (i) the maximum practicable reliance on 
                        commercially available substitutes;
                            (ii) the sharing of frequencies (as 
                        permitted under subsection (b)(2));
                            (iii) the development and use of new 
                        communications technologies; and
                            (iv) the use of nonradiating communications 
                        systems where practicable; and
                    (C) seek to avoid--
                            (i) serious degradation of Federal 
                        Government services and operations;
                            (ii) excessive costs to the Federal 
                        Government and users of Federal Government 
                        services; and
                            (iii) excessive disruption of existing use 
                        of Federal Government frequencies by amateur 
                        radio licensees.
            (2) Feasibility of use.--In determining whether a frequency 
        meets the criteria specified in subsection (a)(3), the 
        Secretary shall--
                    (A) assume that the frequency will be assigned by 
                the Commission under section 303 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 
                303) within 15 years;
                    (B) assume reasonable rates of scientific progress 
                and growth of demand for telecommunications services;
                    (C) seek to include frequencies which can be used 
                to stimulate the development of new technologies; and
                    (D) consider the immediate and recurring costs to 
                reestablish services displaced by the reallocation of 
                spectrum.
            (3) Commercial use.--In determining whether a frequency 
        meets the criteria specified in subsection (a)(4), the 
        Secretary shall consider--
                    (A) the extent to which equipment is available that 
                is capable of utilizing such frequency;
                    (B) the proximity of frequencies that are already 
                assigned for commercial or other non-Federal use;
                    (C) the extent to which, in general, commercial 
                users could share the frequency with amateur radio 
                licensees; and
                    (D) the activities of foreign governments in making 
                frequencies available for experimentation or commercial 
                assignments in order to support their domestic 
                manufacturers of equipment.
            (4) Other uses.--
                    (A) Applicability of criteria.--The criteria 
                specified by subsection (a) shall be deemed not to be 
                met for any purpose under this subtitle with regard to 
                any frequency assignment to, or any frequency 
                assignment used by, a Federal power agency for the 
                purpose of withdrawing that assignment.
                    (B) Mixed use eligibility.--The frequencies 
                assigned to any Federal power agency may only be 
                eligible for mixed use under subsection (b)(2) in 
                geographically separate areas, but in those cases where 
                a frequency is to be shared by an affected Federal 
                power agency and a non-Federal user, such use by the 
                non-Federal user shall not cause harmful interference 
                to the affected Federal power agency or adversely 
                affect the reliability of its power system.
                    (C) Definition.--As used in this paragraph, the 
                term ``Federal power agency'' means the Tennessee 
                Valley Authority, the Bonneville Power Administration, 
                the Western Area Power Administration, or the 
                Southwestern Power Administration.
    (d) Procedure for Identification of Reallocable Bands of 
Frequencies.--
            (1) Report identifying 30 megahertz for immediate 
        reallocation.--Within 6 months after the date of enactment of 
        this Act, the Secretary shall prepare and submit to the 
        President and the Congress a report that recommends for 
        immediate reallocation no less than 30 megahertz of frequencies 
        identified under subsection (a). None of the frequencies 
        covered by such report may be allocated for mixed use as 
        described in subsection (b)(2). Not less than one-half of such 
        frequencies shall be located below 3 gigahertz.
            (2) Preliminary report on other reallocable frequencies.--
        Within 6 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
        Secretary shall prepare, make publicly available, and submit to 
        the President and the Congress a preliminary report that 
        recommends for reallocation at least 170 megahertz of 
        frequencies identified under subsection (a), other than those 
        recommended for immediate reallocation under paragraph (1).
            (3) Public comment; changes to report.--The Secretary shall 
        receive public comment on the preliminary report required by 
        paragraph (2) and shall, based upon the comments, make such 
        changes to the report as are warranted to meet the objectives 
        of this section.
            (4) Direct discussions.--The Secretary shall encourage and 
        provide opportunity for direct discussions among commercial 
        representatives and Federal Government users of the spectrum to 
        aid the Secretary in determining which frequencies to recommend 
        for reallocation. The Secretary shall provide notice to the 
        public of any such discussions, including the name or names of 
        any businesses or other persons represented in such 
        discussions, and shall provide the public with an opportunity 
        to comment on the results of any such negotiations prior to the 
        submission of the final report required by paragraph (5).
            (5) Final report on other reallocable frequencies.--Within 
        18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
        Secretary shall prepare and submit to the President and the 
        Congress a final report that recommends the reallocation of at 
        least 170 megahertz of frequencies as described in paragraph 
        (2). Not less than one-half of such frequencies shall be 
        located below 3 gigahertz.
            (6) Limitation on reallocation.--None of the frequencies 
        recommended for reallocation in the reports required by this 
        subsection shall have been recommended, prior to the date of 
        enactment of this Act, for reallocation to non-Federal use by 
        international agreement.
    (e) Timetable for reallocation and limitation.--The Secretary 
shall, as part of the reports required by paragraphs (1) and (2) of 
subsection (d), include a timetable that recommends dates by which the 
President shall withdraw or limit assignments of the frequencies 
specified in the reports. In setting the recommended effectived dates, 
the Secretary shall--
            (1) consider the need to reallocate frequencies as early as 
        possible, taking into account the requirements of section 406;
            (2) consider the useful remaining life of equipment that 
        has been purchased or contracted for purchase to operate on 
        identified frequencies;
            (3) consider the need to coordinate frequency use with 
        other nations; and
            (4) take into account the relationship between the costs to 
        the Federal Government of changing to different frequencies and 
        the benefits that may be obtained from commercial and other 
        non-Federal uses of the reassigned frequencies.

SEC. 4005. WITHDRAWAL OR LIMITATION OF ASSIGNMENT TO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 
              STATIONS.

    (a) In General.--The President shall--
            (1) within 12 months after receipt of the report required 
        by section 404(d)(1), withdraw the assignment to a Federal 
        Government station of any frequency in the frequencies 
        recommended by that report for immediate reallocation;
            (2) by the effective date recommended by the Secretary 
        under section 404(e) (except as provided in subsection (b)(4) 
        of this section), withdraw or limit the assignment to a Federal 
        Government station of any frequency which the report required 
        by section 404(d)(3) recommends be reallocated or made 
        available for mixed use on such recommended effective date;
            (3) assign or reassign other frequencies to Federal 
        Government stations as necessary to adjust to such withdrawal 
        or limitation of assignments; and
            (4) transmit a notice and description to the Commission and 
        each House of Congress of the actions taken under this 
        subsection.
    (b) Exceptions.--
            (1) Authority to substitute.--If the President determines 
        that a circumstance described in paragraph (2) exists, the 
        President--
                    (A) may substitute an alternative frequency for the 
                frequency that is subject to such determination and 
                withdraw (or limit) the assignment of that alternative 
                frequency in the manner required by subsection (a); and
                    (B) shall submit a statement of the reasons for 
                taking the action described in subparagraph (A) to the 
                Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of 
                Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, 
                and Transportation of the Senate.
            (2) Grounds for substitution.--Each of the following 
        subparagraphs describes a circumstance referred to in paragraph 
        (1):
                    (A) The reassignment would seriously jeopardize the 
                national defense interests of the United States.
                    (B) The frequency proposed for reassignment is 
                uniquely suited to meeting important governmental 
                needs.
                    (C) The reassignment would seriously jeopardize 
                public health or safety.
                    (D) The reassignment will result in costs to the 
                Federal Government that are excessive in relation to 
                the benefits that may be obtained from commercial or 
                other non-Federal uses of the reassigned frequency.
                    (E) The reassignment will disrupt the existing use 
                of a Federal Government band of frequencies by amateur 
                radio licensees.
            (3) Criteria for substituted frequencies.--For purposes of 
        paragraph (1), a frequency may not be substituted for a 
        frequency identified and recommended under section 404 for 
        reallocation, unless the substituted frequency also meets each 
        of the criteria specified by section 404(a).
            (4) Delays in implementation.--If the President determines 
        that any action cannot be completed by the effective date 
        recommended by the Secretary pursuant to section 404(e), or 
        that such an action by such date would result in a frequency 
        being unused as a consequence of the Commission's plan under 
        section 404(b), the President may--
                    (A) withdraw or limit the assignment to Federal 
                Government stations on a later date that is consistent 
                with such plan, except that the President shall notify 
                each Committee specified in paragraph (1)(B) and the 
                Commission of the reason that withdrawal or limitation 
                at a later date is required; or
                    (B) substitute alternative frequencies pursuant to 
                this subsection.
    (c) Costs of Withdrawing Frequencies Assigned to the Federal 
Government.--
            (1) Reimbursement authorized.--Any Federal agency, or non-
        Federal entity operating on behalf of a Federal agency, whose 
        operation is displaced from a frequency pursuant to this 
        section may be reimbursed, from revenues received pursuant to 
        section 408, not more than the incremental costs such agency or 
        entity incurs (in such amounts as are provided in advance in an 
        appropriations Act) that are directly attributable to the 
        displacement from the frequency. The estimates of these costs 
        shall be prepared by the affected agency, in consultation with 
        the Department of Commerce.
            (2) Authorization of appropriations.--There are authorized 
        to be appropriated to the affected Federal agencies such sums 
        as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this 
        subsection.
    (d) Existing Authority Retained.--
            (1) Additional reallocation.--Nothing in this subtitle 
        prevents or limits additional reallocation of spectrum from the 
        Federal Government to the commercial or other sectors.
            (2) Implementation of new technologies and services.--
        Notwithstanding any other provision of this subtitle--
                    (A) the Secretary may at any time allow frequencies 
                allocated on a primary basis for Federal Government use 
                to be used by non-Federal licensees on a mixed-use 
                basis for the purpose of facilitating the prompt 
                implementation of new technologies or services; and
                    (B) the Commission shall expedite and give priority 
                to the allocation of any frequencies identified 
                pursuant to subparagraph (A), and any associated 
                licensing.

SEC. 4006. ALLOCATION AND ASSIGNMENT OF FREQUENCIES BY THE COMMISSION.

    (a) Allocation and Assignment of Immediately Available 
Frequencies.--With respect to the frequencies made available for 
immediate reallocation pursuant to section 405(a)(1), the Commission, 
not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, shall 
issue rules to allocate such frequencies and shall propose rules to 
assign such frequencies.
    (b) Allocation and Assignment of Remaining Available Frequencies.--
With respect to the frequencies made available for reallocation 
pursuant to section 405(a)(2), the Commission shall, not later than 1 
year after receipt of the final report identified in section 404(d)(4), 
prepare, in consultation with the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for 
Communications and Information, submit to the President and the 
Congress, and implement, a plan for the allocation and assignment under 
the Act of such frequencies. Such plan shall--
            (1) not propose the immediate allocation and assignment of 
        all such frequencies but, taking into account the timetable 
        recommended by the Secretary pursuant to section 404(e), shall 
        propose--
                    (A) gradually to allocate and assign the 
                frequencies remaining, after making the reservation 
                required by subparagraph (B), over the course of 10 
                years beginning on the date of submission of such plan; 
                and
                    (B) to reserve a significant portion of such 
                frequencies for distribution beginning after the end of 
                such 10-year period;
            (2) contain appropriate provisions to ensure the 
        availability of frequencies for (A) new technologies and 
        services in accordance with the policies of section 7 of the 
        Act (47 U.S.C. 157) and (B) the safety of life and property in 
        accordance with the policies of section 1 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 
        151);
            (3) address (A) the feasibility of reallocating portions of 
        the spectrum from current commercial and other non-Federal uses 
        to provide for more efficient use of the spectrum, and (B) 
        innovation and marketplace developments that may affect the 
        relative efficiencies of different spectrum allocations;
            (4) not prevent the Commission from allocating frequencies, 
        and assigning licenses to use frequencies, not included in the 
        plan; and
            (5) not preclude the Commission from making changes to the 
        plan in future proceedings.
    (c) Amendment to the Act.--Section 303 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 303) 
is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(v) Have authority to assign licenses to use the frequencies 
reallocated from United States Government use to non-United States 
Government use pursuant to the Emerging Telecommunications Technologies 
Act of 1993; except that any such assignment shall be made expressly 
subject to the right of the President to reclaim such frequencies under 
section 7 of such Act.''.

SEC. 4007. AUTHORITY TO RECLAIM REASSIGNED FREQUENCIES.

    (a) Authority of President.--Subsequent to the withdrawal of 
assignment to Federal Government stations pursuant to section 405, the 
President may reclaim reassigned frequencies for reassignment to 
Federal Government stations in accordance with this section.
    (b) Procedure for Reclaiming Frequencies.--
            (1) Unallocated frequencies.--If the frequencies to be 
        reclaimed have not been allocated or assigned by the Commission 
        pursuant to the Act, the President shall follow the procedures 
        for substitution of frequencies established by section 405(b) 
        of this subtitle.
            (2) Allocated frequencies.--If the frequencies to be 
        reclaimed have been allocated or assigned by the Commission, 
        the President shall follow the procedures for substitution of 
        frequencies established by section 405(b) of this subtitle, 
        except that the notification required by section 405(b)(1)(B) 
        shall include--
                    (A) a timetable to accommodate an orderly 
                transition for displaced licensees to obtain new 
                frequencies and equipment necessary for its 
                utilization; and
                    (B) an estimate of the cost of displacing spectrum 
                uses licensed by the Commission.
    (c) Costs of Reclaiming Frequencies; Appropriations Authorized.--
The Federal Government shall bear all costs of reclaiming frequencies 
pursuant to this section, including the cost of equipment which is 
rendered unusable, the cost of relocating operations to a different 
frequency, and any other costs that are directly attributable to the 
reclaiming of the frequency pursuant to this section. There are 
authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry 
out the purposes of this section.
    (d) Effective Date of Reclaimed Frequencies.--The Commission shall 
not withdraw licenses for any reclaimed frequencies until the end of 
the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the President's 
notification is received.
    (e) Effect on Other Law.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to limit or otherwise affect the authority of the President 
under section 706 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 606).

SEC. 4008. COMPETITIVE BIDDING.

    (a) Competitive Bidding.--
            (1) In general.--
                    (A) Five-year authorization.--The Commission shall, 
                during fiscal years 1994 through 1998, use the 
                competitive bidding process authorized under the 
                amendment made by subsection (b) to grant all radio 
                spectrum licenses for which two or more mutually 
                exclusive applications have been filed, including the 
                200 megahertz of spectrum made available to the 
                Commission under this subtitle, and including the 
                licenses issued for a personal communications service 
                established pursuant to the proceeding entitled 
                ``Amendment to the Commission's Rules to Establish New 
                Personal Communications Services'', or any successor 
                proceeding, except for those licenses identified in 
                subparagraphs (A) through (E) of section 309(j)(4) of 
                the Act and those licenses that the Commission 
                determines should in the public interest be issued by 
                comparative hearing under section 309(a) through (f) of 
                the Act. To the extent possible, and consistent with 
                the purposes of this subtitle, the Commission shall 
                seek to ensure that revenues received pursuant to the 
                competitive bidding process are received before the end 
                of fiscal year 1998.
                    (B) Expiration of requirements.--The requirements 
                of subparagraph (A) shall expire either--
                            (i) upon a determination by the Secretary 
                        of the Treasury that competitive bidding has 
                        resulted in or is reasonably expected to result 
                        in the receipt of $7,200,000,000 by the end of 
                        fiscal year 1998, or
                            (ii) at the end of fiscal year 1998, 
                        whichever is earlier.
                    (C) Report to president and congress.--The 
                Commission shall prepare, in consultation with the 
                Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and 
                Information, and submit to the President and the 
                Congress, not later than March 31, 1997, and March 31, 
                1999, reports on the use of competitive bidding under 
                subparagraph (A). Such reports shall examine, in 
                addition to any other matters deemed appropriate by the 
                Commission, whether and to what extent--
                            (i) competitive bidding significantly 
                        improved the efficiency and effectiveness of 
                        the process for granting radio spectrum 
                        licenses;
                            (ii) competitive bidding facilitated the 
                        introduction of new spectrum-based technologies 
                        and the entry of new companies into the 
                        telecommunications market;
                            (iii) the needs of rural spectrum users 
                        were adequately addressed in the competitive 
                        bidding process;
                            (iv) small businesses and minority-owned 
                        businesses were able to participate 
                        successfully in the competitive bidding 
                        process; and
                            (v) statutory changes are needed to improve 
                        the competitive bidding process.
            (2) Retention of revenues.--Notwithstanding paragraph (6) 
        of section 309(j) of the Act, as added by this subtitle, the 
        salaries and expenses account of the Commission shall retain as 
        an offsetting collection such sums as may be necessary from the 
        receipts received pursuant to such section for the costs of 
        developing and implementing the program required by subsection 
        (a)(1)(A). Such offsetting collections shall be available for 
        obligation subject to the terms and conditions of the receiving 
        appropriations account, and shall be deposited in such accounts 
        on a quarterly basis. Any funds appropriated to the Commission 
        for fiscal years 1994 through 1998 for the purpose of assigning 
        licenses using random selection under section 309(i) of the Act 
        shall be used by the Commission to implement section 309(j) of 
        the Act.
    (b) Competitive Bidding Authorization.--Section 309 of the Act (47 
U.S.C. 309) is amended by adding at the end the following new 
subsection:
    ``(j)(1) Subject to the exemptions and conditions set forth in the 
other provisions of this subsection, if there are two or more mutually 
exclusive applications for any construction permit or initial license 
which will involve any use of the electromagnetic spectrum, the 
Commission shall have authority to use competitive bidding in the 
granting of such construction permit or initial license.
    ``(2)(A) The Commission shall, within 6 months after the date of 
enactment of the Emerging Telecommunications Technologies Act of 1993 
and following public notice and comment proceedings, issue rules 
establishing competitive bidding procedures under this subsection. Such 
rules shall include safeguards to protect the public interest in the 
use of the spectrum and shall ensure the opportunity for successful 
participation by small businesses and minority-owned businesses.
    ``(B)(i) In the rules issued pursuant to subparagraph (A), the 
Commission shall require potential bidders to file a first-stage 
application indicating an intent to participate in the competitive 
bidding process and containing such other information as the Commission 
finds necessary. After conducting the bidding, the Commission shall 
require the wining bidder to file a second-stage application. After 
determining that such application is acceptable for filing and that the 
winning bidder is qualified as described in clause (ii), the Commission 
shall grant the permit or license to the winning bidder.
    ``(ii) No permit or license shall be granted to a winning bidder 
pursuant to clause (i) unless the Commission determines that such 
winning bidder is qualified pursuant to section 308(b) and subsection 
(a) of this section, on the basis of the information contained in the 
first-stage and second-stage applications submitted pursuant to clause 
(i).
    ``(iii) Each participant in the competitive bidding process shall 
be subject to the schedule of charges contained in section 8.
    ``(C) In the rules issued pursuant to subparagraph (A), the 
Commission, in addition to other actions it finds necessary to 
implement competitive bidding fairly and effectively, shall--
            ``(i) establish the method of bidding (including but not 
        limited to sealed bids) and the basis for payment (such as 
        installment or lump sum payments, royalties on future income, a 
        combination thereof, or other reasonable forms of payment 
        specified by the Commission); and
            ``(ii) establish other appropriate conditions on such 
        permits and licenses that serve the public interest.
    ``(3)(A)(i) If the Commission decides to use competitive bidding to 
grant two or more national, regional, or local licenses per market in a 
terrestrial service that will compete with telephone exchange service 
provided by a qualified common carrier, the Commission shall designate 
one such license per market as a rural program license.
    ``(ii) The Commission shall define the geographic boundaries of the 
rural program license to correspond to the geographic area of the 
telephone exchange service by which the qualified common carrier became 
eligible for the rural program license under subparagraph (E)(ii).
    ``(B)(i) Except as provided in subparagraph (D), the Commission 
shall either grant a rural program license to the qualified common 
carrier providing telephone exchange service in the area covered by 
such license, or grant a license to a consortium of such qualified 
carriers.
    ``(ii) No qualified common carrier that receives a rural program 
license shall be eligible to--
            ``(I) receive any other license to provide the same service 
        in such area; or
            ``(II) own any equity interest in, become a creditor of, or 
        otherwise become affiliated with any entity that holds a 
        license to provide the same service in such area.
    ``(iii) Any qualified common carrier that receives a rural program 
license shall (I) provide to all other licensees providing the same 
service in such area the same quality of access to its wire network 
that it provides itself, and (II) shall interconnect its wireless 
service with the wireless service provided by another licensee 
providing the same service on the same frequency in a different 
geographic area. Such other licensee shall provide an equivalent 
interconnection with the wireless service of such rural program 
licensee.
    ``(iv) The Commission may establish other rules or conditions for 
the award of a rural program license, consistent with the intent of 
this paragraph.
    ``(C)(i) Upon the grant of a rural program license to a qualified 
common carrier, such carrier shall pay a fee (in lump sum or 
installment payments, in royalties on future income, in a combination 
thereof, or on any other reasonable basis specified by the Commission) 
equal to the value of such license. The value of such license shall be 
the average of the amounts paid by persons granted licenses through 
competitive bidding to provide the same service in such area, except 
that the Commission shall determine the value of such license by any 
reasonable means when the geographic area served by the rural program 
license is not congruent with the geographic area served by the other 
license or licenses. The Commission shall ensure that the total amount 
paid by qualified common carriers for all the licenses issued to them 
under the rural program shall equal the total value, as determined 
under clause (ii), of such licenses.
    ``(ii) The Commission shall determine the total value of the 
licenses issued under the rural program to qualified common carriers by 
first adding the amounts paid for the licenses not subject to the rural 
program, and dividing that sum by the number of licenses per market 
that are not subject to the rural program. The Commission shall then 
subtract from the amount found in the previous calculation the total 
amount paid for the licenses issued for the non-rural areas under 
bidding subject to the rural program and the total amount paid for 
licenses issued pursuant to subparagraph (D). The amount remaining 
shall be the total value of all the licenses issued under the rural 
program to qualified common carriers.
    ``(D) If no qualified common carrier applies for a rural program 
license in a particular market and the Commission awards the non-rural 
program licenses through competitive bidding, the rural program shall 
not apply for that particular market and the Commission shall use 
competitive bidding to award the licenses for the former rural program 
areas, either separately or as part of larger license areas.
    ``(E) For purposes of this paragraph--
            ``(i) the term `rural area' means any geographic area that 
        does not include either--
                    ``(I) any incorporated place of 10,000 inhabitants

        warranting an exemption to the extent the Commission determines 
        the use of competitive bidding would jeopardize appropriate 
        treatment of those factors.
    ``(5) No provision of this subsection or of the Emerging 
Telecommunications Technologies Act of 1993 shall be construed, in any

    (c) State and Local Tax Treatment of Licenses and Permits.--Title 
VII of the Act (47 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end 
the following new section:

``SEC. 714. STATE AND LOCAL TAX TREATMENT OF LICENSES AND PERMITS.

not be treated as the property of the licensee for property tax

SEC. 4009. REGULATORY PARITY.

    (a) Amendment.--Section 332 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 332) is amended--
            (1) by striking ``private land'' from the heading of the 
        section; and
            (2) by amending subsection (c) to read as follows:
    ``(c)(1)(A) A person engaged in the provision of commercial mobile 
services shall, insofar as such person is so engaged, be treated as a 
common carrier for purposes of this Act, except that the Commission may 
waive the requirements of sections 203, 204, 205, and 214, and the 30-
day notice provision of section 309(a), for commercial mobile services 
and such other provisions of title II as the Commission may, consistent 
with the public interest, specify by rule. In prescribing any such 
rule, the Commission may not waive for commercial mobile services the 
requirements of section 201, 202, 206, 208, 209, 215(c), 216, 217, 220 
(d) or (e), 223, 225, 226 (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), or (i), 
227, or 228, or any other provision that is necessary in order to 
ensure that the charges, practices, classifications, or regulations for 
or in connection with commercial mobile services are just and 
reasonable and are not unjustly or unreasonably discriminatory or that 
is otherwise in the public interest.
    ``(B) Upon reasonable request of any person providing commercial 
mobile service, the Commission shall order a common carrier to 
establish physical connections with such service pursuant to section 
201. Except to the extent that the Commission is required to respond to 
such a request, this subparagraph shall not be construed as a 
limitation or expansion of the Commission's authority to order 
interconnection under this Act.
    ``(2) A person engaged in private land mobile service shall not, 
insofar as such person is so engaged, be treated as a common carrier 
for any purpose under this Act. A common carrier shall not provide any 
dispatch service on any frequency allocated for common carrier service, 
except to the extent that such dispatch service is provided on stations 
licensed by the Commission in the Specialized Mobile Radio Service 
prior to May 24, 1993, or is provided on stations licensed in the 
domestic public land mobile radio service before January 1, 1982. The 
Commission may by regulation terminate, in whole or in part, the 
prohibition contained in the preceding sentence if the commission 
determines that such termination will service the public interest.
    ``(3)(A) Notwithstanding sections 2(b) and 221(b), no State or 
local government shall have any authority to regulate the entry of or 
the rates charged by any commercial mobile service or any private land 
mobile service, except that this paragraph shall not prohibit a State 
from regulating the other terms and conditions of commercial mobile 
services. Nothing in this subparagraph shall exempt providers of 
commercial mobile services (where such services are a substitute for 
land line telephone exchange service for a substantial portion of the 
communications within such State) from requirements imposed by a State 
commission on all providers of telecommunications services necessary to 
ensure the continued availability of telephone exchange service at 
affordable rates.
    ``(B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), a State may petition the 
Commission for authority to regulate the rates for any commercial 
mobile service if such State demonstrates that (i) such service is a 
substitute for land line telephone exchange service for a substantial 
portion of the communications within such State, or (ii) market 
conditions with respect to such services fail to protect subscribers 
adequately from unjust and unreasonable rates or rates that are 
unjustly or unreasonably discriminatory. The Commission shall provide 
reasonable opportunity for public comment in response to such petition, 
and shall, within 9 months after the date of its submission, grant or 
deny such petition. If the Commission grants such petition, the 
Commission shall authorize the State to exercise under State law such 
authority over rates, for such periods of time, as the Commission deems 
necessary to ensure that such rates are just and reasonable and not 
unjustly or unreasonably discriminatory.
    ``(C) If a State has in effect on June 1, 1993, any regulation 
concerning the rates for any commercial mobile service, such State may, 
no later than 1 year after the date of enactment of the Emerging 
Telecommunications Technologies Act of 1993, petition the Commission 
requesting that the State be authorized to continue exercising 
authority over such rates. The State's existing regulation shall, 
notwithstanding subparagraph (A), remain in effect until the Commission 
issues a final order granting or denying such petition. The Commission 
shall review such petition in accordance with the procedures and 
schedule established in subparagraph (B), and shall grant such petition 
if the State satisfies the showing required under subparagraph (B)(i) 
or (B)(ii). If the Commission grants such petition, the Commission 
shall authorize the State to exercise under the State law such 
authority over rates, for such period of time, as the Commission deems 
necessary to ensure that such rates are just and reasonable and not 
unjustly or unreasonably discriminatory.
    ``(D) After a reasonable period of time, as determined by the 
Commission, has elapsed from the issuance of an order under 
subparagraph (B) or (C), any interested party may petition the 
Commission for an order that the exercise of authority by a State 
pursuant to such subparagraph is no longer necessary to ensure that the 
rates for commercial mobile services are just and reasonable and not 
unjustly or unreasonably discriminatory. The Commission shall provide 
reasonable opportunity for public comment in response to such petition, 
and shall, within 9 months after the date of its submission, grant or 
deny such petition in whole or in part.
    ``(4) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to alter or 
affect the regulatory treatment required by title IV of the 
Communications Satellite Act of 1962 of the corporation authorized by 
title III of such Act.
    ``(5) The Commission shall continue to determine whether the 
provision of space segment capacity by satellite systems to providers 
of commercial mobile services shall be treated as common carriage.
    ``(6) The provisions of section 310(b) shall not apply to any 
lawful foreign ownership in a provider of commercial mobile services 
prior to May 24, 1993, if that provider was not regulated as a common 
carrier prior to the date of enactment of the Emerging 
Telecommunications Technologies Act of 1993 and is deemed to be a 
common carrier under this Act.
    ``(7) As part of any proceeding under this subsection the 
Commission (i) shall consider in such proceeding the ability of new 
entrants to compete in the services to which such proceeding relates, 
and (ii) shall have the flexibility to amend, modify, or forbear from 
any regulation of new entrants under this subsection, or, consistent 
with the public interest, take other appropriate action, to provide a 
full opportunity for new entrants to compete in such services.
    ``(8) For purposes of this section--
            ``(A) the term `commercial mobile service' means any mobile 
        service (as defined in section 3(n)) that, as specified by 
        regulation by the Commission, is provided for profit and makes 
        interconnected service available (i) to the public or (ii) to 
        such broad classes of eligible users as to be effectively 
        available to a substantial portion of the public;
            ``(B) the term `interconnected service' means service that 
        is interconnected with the public switched network (as such 
        term is defined by regulation by the Commission) or service for 
        which interconnection pursuant to paragraph (1)(B) is pending; 
        and
            ``(C) the term `private land mobile service' means any 
        mobile service (as defined in section 3(n)) that is not a

    (b) Conforming Amendments.--
            (1) Definition of mobile service.--Section 3 of the Act (47 
        U.S.C. 153) is amended--

    (a) In General.--The first sentence of section 4(b) of the Land and

by striking out ``visitors' centers,'' and all that follows down 
through the period at the end thereof and inserting the following: 
``scenic drives, or toilet facilities: Provided, That in no event shall 
there be any charge for the use of any campground not having a majority 
of the following: tent or trailer spaces, picnic tables, drinking 
water, access road, refuse containers, toilet facilities, fee 
collection by an employee or agent of the Federal agency operating the 
facility, reasonable visitor protection, and simple devices for 
containing a campfire (where campfires are permitted). For purposes of 
this subsection, the term `specialized outdoor recreation site' 
includes but shall not be limited to campgrounds, swimming sites, boat 
launch facilities, and managed parking lots.''.
    (b) Costs of Collection.--Section 4(i) of the Land and Water 
Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (16 U.S.C. 460l-6a(i)) is amended by

        may withhold from the special account established under 
        subparagraph (A) such portion of all receipts the fees 
        collected in that fiscal year under this section as such 
        Secretary determines to be equal to the additional fee 
        collection costs for that fiscal year. The amounts so withheld 
        shall be retained by the Secretary of Agriculture or the 
        Secretary of the Interior and shall be available, without 
        further appropriation, for expenditure by the Secretary 
        concerned in the fiscal year in which collected to cover such

        deposit in the special account established pursuant to

        unexpended and unobligated at the end of such fiscal year. For 
        the purposes of this subparagraph, for any fiscal year, the 
        term `additional fee collection costs' means those costs for 
        personnel and infrastructure directly associated with the 
        collection fees imposed under this section which exceed the 
        costs for personnel and infrastructure directly associated with

Interior shall establish, by October 1, 1993, a commercial tour use fee 
to be imposed on each vehicle entering the unit for the purpose of 
providing commercial tour services within the unit. Fee revenue derived

Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter referred to 
as ``the Secretaries''), shall assess and collect charges for 
utilization of radio and television communications sites located on 
Federal lands administered by the Forest Service or the Bureau of Land 
Management at such rates as the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land 
Management shall establish or at such modified rates as are established 
pursuant to the provisions of subsection (b) of this section.
    (b) The schedule of charges established under this section shall be 
reviewed by the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management on an 
annual basis, and shall be adjusted by the Forest Service and the 
Bureau of Land Management to reflect changes in the Consumer Price 
Index. Increases or decreases in charges shall apply to all categories 
of charges, but any increase or decrease shall not total less than 3 
percent or more than 5 percent of the charge assessed to the user in 
the preceding year. The Bureau of Land Management and the Forest 
Service shall transmit to the Congress notification of any such 
adjustment not later than 60 days before the effective date of such 
adjustment.
            (1) Under the schedule of charges established under the 
        section, if any radio or television communications site user is 
        to be charged an amount that is greater than $1,000 more than 
        the amount such site user pays to the Bureau of Land Management 
        or the Forest Service as of January 1, 1993, then during the 
        first year in which the schedule of charges is in effect, such 
        site user shall pay an amount equal to the amount it paid to 
        the Bureau of Land Management or the Forest Service as of 
        January 1, 1993 plus $1,000. Each year thereafter, such site 
        user shall pay the full amount under the schedule of charges, 
        as modified pursuant to the subsection.
            (2) Under the schedule of charges established under this 
        section, if any radio or television communications site user is 
        to be charged an amount that is less than the amount such site 
        user paid to the Bureau of Land Management or the Forest 
        Service as of January 1, 1993, such site user shall continue to 
        pay the higher amount until such time as the charge to the site 
        user in the schedule of charges equals or exceeds that amount, 
        as modified pursuant to this subsection.
    (c)(1) If the radio or television communications site user is 
permitted under the terms of its site use authorization from the Bureau 
of Land Management or the Forest Service to grant access to the site to 
additional users, then the radio or television communications site user 
shall pay annually to the Bureau of Land Management or the Forest 
Service an amount equal to 25 percent of the gross income it receives 
from each such additional user during that year.
    (2) Authorizations to radio and television communications site 
users shall require such site users to provide the Bureau of Land 
Management or the Forest Service with a certified list which identifies 
all additional users of such sites and all gross revenues received from 
such additional users. The Bureau of Land Management and the Forest 
Service shall not require any additional user of a radio or television 
communications site to obtain a separate authorization to use such a 
site.
    (d)(1) The Secretaries shall prescribe appropriate rules and 
regulations to carry out the provisions of this section.
    (2) Ten years after the date of enactment of this section, the 
Secretaries shall establish a broad-based advisory group, including 
representatives from the radio and television broadcast industry, to 
review the schedule of charges and other acceptable criteria for 
determining fair market value for radio and television communications 
site users. The advisory group shall report its findings to the 
Congress no later than 1 year after it is established.
    (e)(1) Until modified pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, 
the schedule of charges for television communications site users which 
the Secretaries shall prescribe pursuant to subsection (a) of this 
section shall be as listed in exhibit 3, (television rental fee 
schedule) in the report of the radio and television broadcast use fee 
advisory committee dated December 1992.
    (2) Until modified pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, the 
schedule of charges for radio communications site users which the 
Secretaries shall prescribe pursuant to subsection (a) of this section 
shall be as listed in exhibit 4, (radio rental fee schedule) in the 
report of the radio and television broadcast use fee advisory committee 
dated December 1992.
    (f)(1) The Secretaries are directed to jointly establish a broad-
based advisory group comprised of representatives from the non-
broadcast communications industry (users of both private and public 
communication sites) and the two agencies to review recommendations on 
acceptable criteria for determining fair market values and next best 
alternative use.
    (2) The advisory group shall review the methodology used in any 
previous studies and reach concurrence on such methodology.
    (3) The advisory group shall also assess the validity of the 
results of such studies, taking into account all reasonable options for 
the establishment of fair market values and next best alternative use.
    (4) The advisory group shall report its findings to the Committee 
on Energy and Natural Resources of the United States Senate and the 
Committee on Natural Resources of the United States House of 
Representatives within one year after the enactment of this Act.

                once signed by the father and the mother, constitute a 
                voluntary acknowledgment of paternity.

                paternity, and under which such voluntary 
                acknowledgment is admissible as evidence of paternity.

                acknowledgment of paternity must be recognized as a 
                basis for seeking a support order without first 
                requiring any further proceedings to establish 
                paternity.

                results are admissible as evidence of paternity without 
                the need for foundation testimony or other proof of 
                authenticity or accuracy.

                threshold probability of the alleged father being the 
                father of the child.

                required by State law.''; and
            (3) by inserting after paragraph (10) the following new 
        paragraph:
            ``(11) Procedures under which a State must give full faith 
        and credit to a determination of paternity made by any other 
        State, whether established through voluntary acknowledgment or 
        through administrative or judicial processes.''.

Subpart A--Extension of Qualified Mortgage Bonds and Low-Income Housing 
                                 Credit

SEC. 8141. EXTENSION OF QUALIFIED MORTGAGE BONDS.

qualified mortgage bond) is amended by striking ``1992'' each place it 
appears and inserting ``1994''.
    (b) Mortgage Credit Certificates.--Subsection (h) of section 25 is

        apply to bonds issued after June 30, 1992.
            (2) Certificates.--The amendment made by subsection (b) 
        shall apply to elections for periods after June 30, 1992.

SEC. 8141A. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING PERMANENT EXTENSION OF 
              QUALIFIED MORTGAGE BONDS.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that:
            (1) Low and moderate income families often have difficulty 
        in obtaining affordable mortgage financing.
            (2) The mortgage revenue bond provisions of the Internal 
        Revenue Code are an important tool in providing affordable 
        financing for first-time home buyers.
            (3) The tax-exempt status of mortgage revenue bonds have 
        enabled State and local housing agencies to finance home 
        mortgages for first-time buyers at rates below conventional 
        market rates. This cost differential enables buyers, who 
        otherwise might not be able to get mortgage financing, to 
        obtain a loan at an affordable rate.
            (4) Mortgage revenue bonds are targeted to families with 
        the greatest need. In 1992, the average income of a mortgage 
        revenue bond borrower was 74 percent of median income. Mortgage 
        revenue bonds are only available to buyers who have not owned a 
        home within the past 3 years, earn 115 percent or less of the 
        applicable median income, and buy a principal residence that 
        does not exceed 90 percent of the average home purchase price.
            (5) Prior to its expiration in June, mortgage revenue bonds 
        were the only Federal assistance targeted to first-time home 
        buyers. During the past 15 years, mortgage revenue bonds have 
        financed more than 2 million home purchases and accounted for 1 
        out of every 12 mortgages made to first-time buyers.
            (6) In the last decade, mortgage revenue bonds have been 
        scheduled to sunset 7 times, making administration and timing 
        of bond issues extremely difficult and costly. The mortgage 
        revenue bond program lapsed on June 30, underscoring the need 
        for permanent extension.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that 
mortgage revenue bonds are a vital, proven tool for providing 
affordable home ownership opportunities for low- and moderate-income 
families and that Congress should adopt a permanent extension of the 
mortgage revenue bond program as part of the Internal Revenue Code.

        business meals and entertainment expenses from 80 percent to 50 
        percent may have a negative impact on the United States 
        restaurant, entertainment, and tourism industries.

        paragraph (4) may result in the loss of jobs in the restaurant, 
        entertainment, and tourism industries, many of which are filled 
        by young individuals in their first jobs and by members of 
        minority groups.
            (6) The unemployment rate among individuals and members 
        described in paragraph (5) greatly exceeds the national 
        unemployment rate of 6.9 percent.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
conferees with respect to this title will make every effort to reduce 
or eliminate the proposed reduction in the deductibility of business

             ``PART D--FEDERAL DIRECT STUDENT LOAN PROGRAM

``SEC. 451. PURPOSE; PROGRAM AUTHORIZATION.

    ``(a) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this part--
            ``(1) to simplify the delivery of student loans to 
        borrowers and eliminate borrower confusion;
            ``(2) to provide a variety of repayment plans, including 
        income contingent repayment, to borrowers so that borrowers 
        have flexibility in managing their student loan repayment 
        obligations, and so that those obligations do not foreclose 
        careers in community or public service for those borrowers;
            ``(3) to replace, through an orderly transition, the 
        Federal Family Education Loan Program under part B of this 
        title with the Federal Direct Student Loan Program under this 
        part;
            ``(4) to avoid the unnecessary cost, to taxpayers and 
        borrowers, and administrative complexity associated with the 
        Federal Family Education Loan Program under part B of this 
        title through the use of a direct student loan program; and
            ``(5) to create a more streamlined student loan program 
        that can be managed more effectively at the Federal level.
    ``(b) Program Authority.--There are hereby made available, in 
accordance with the provisions of this part, such sums as may be 
necessary to make loans to all eligible students in attendance at 
participating institutions of higher education selected by the 
Secretary (and the eligible parents of such students), to enable such 
students to pursue their courses of study at such institutions during 
the period beginning July 1, 1994. Such loans shall be made by 
participating institutions, or consortia thereof, that have agreements 
with the Secretary to originate loans, or by alternative originators 
designated by the Secretary to make loans for students in attendance at 
participating institutions (and their parents).

``SEC. 452. FUNDS FOR ORIGINATION OF DIRECT STUDENT LOANS.

    ``(a) In General.--The Secretary shall provide funds for student 
and parent loans under this part--
            ``(1) directly to an institution of higher education that 
        has an agreement with the Secretary under section 454(a) to 
        participate in the direct student loan program under this part 
        and that also has an agreement with the Secretary under section 
        454(b) to originate loans under this part; or
            ``(2) through an alternative originator designated by the 
        Secretary, on the basis of the need and the eligibility of 
        students at each participating institution, and parents of such 
        students, for such loans.
    ``(b) Fees for Origination Services.--
            ``(1) Fees for institutions.--The Secretary shall pay fees 
        to institutions of higher education or consortia thereof having 
        agreements under section 454(b), in an amount established by 
        the Secretary, to assist in meeting the costs of loan 
        origination. Such fees--
                    ``(A) shall be paid by the Secretary based on all 
                the loans made under this part to a particular borrower 
                in the same academic year;
                    ``(B) shall be subject to a sliding scale that 
                decreases the amount of such fees as the number of 
                borrowers increases; and
                    ``(C)(i) for academic year 1994-1995, shall not 
                exceed a program-wide average of $10 per borrower for 
                all the loans made under this part to such borrower in 
                the same academic year; and
                    ``(ii) for succeeding academic years, the Secretary 
                shall establish such average fee pursuant to 
                regulations.
            ``(2) Fees for alternative originators.--The Secretary 
        shall pay fees for loan origination services to alternative 
        originators of loans made under this part in an amount 
        established by the Secretary in accordance with the terms of 
        the contract described in section 456(b) between the Secretary 
        and each such alternative originator.
    ``(c) No Entitlement To Participate or Originate.--No institution 
of higher education shall have a right to participate in the program 
authorized by this part, originate loans, or perform any program 
function under this part. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed 
so as to limit the entitlement of an eligible student attending a 
participating institution (or the eligible parent of such student) to 
borrow under this part nor limit the borrower's contractual right 
against the United States to receive any loan for which the student (or 
parent) is eligible.
    ``(d) Delivery of Loan Funds.--Loan funds shall be paid and 
delivered to an institution by the Secretary prior to the beginning of 
the payment period established by the Secretary in a manner that is 
consistent with payment and delivery of basic grants under subpart 1 of 
part A.

        contracts under section 456(b) or such other means as the 
        Secretary may provide, for students attending participating 
        institutions that do not originate direct student loans under

        conditions of the repayment plans available under paragraph (1)

        circumstances. In designing such alternative repayment plans, 
        the Secretary shall ensure that such plans do not exceed the 
        cost to the Federal Government, as determined on the basis of 
        the present value of future payments by such borrowers, of

        the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) may be obtained under the 
        preceding sentence only to the extent authorized by section 
        6103(l)(13) of such Code. The Secretary shall establish 
        procedures for determining the borrower's repayment obligation 
        on that loan for such year, and such other procedures as are 
        necessary to implement effectively income contingent repayment.

        pursuant to income contingent repayment shall be based on the 
        adjusted gross income (as defined in section 62 of the Internal 
        Revenue Code of 1986) of the borrower or, if the borrower is 
        married and files a Federal income tax return jointly with the

        current income, shall provide to the Secretary other 
        documentation of income satisfactory to the Secretary, which 
        documentation the Secretary may use to determine an appropriate 
        repayment schedule.
            ``(4) Repayment schedules.--Income contingent repayment 
        schedules shall be established by regulations promulgated by 
        the Secretary and shall require payments that vary in relation 
        to the appropriate portion of the annual income of the borrower 
        (and the borrower's spouse, if applicable) as determined by the 
        Secretary.
            ``(5) Calculation of balance due.--The balance due on a 
        loan made under this part that is repaid pursuant to income 
        contingent repayment shall equal the unpaid principal amount of 
        the loan, any accrued interest, and any fees, such as late 
        charges, assessed on such loan. The Secretary may promulgate 
        regulations limiting the amount of interest that may be 
        capitalized on such loan, and the timing of any such 
        capitalization.

        establish procedures under which a borrower of a loan made 
        under this part who chooses or is required to repay such loan 
        pursuant to income contingent repayment is notified of the 
        terms and conditions of such plan, including notification of

                Revenue Code of 1986; and

                circumstances, such as a loss of employment by the 
                borrower or the borrower's spouse, warrant an 
                adjustment in the borrower's loan repayment as 
                determined using the information described in 
                subparagraph (A), or the alternative documentation

                the Secretary, who shall determine whether such

                required for the administration of the programs 
                authorized under part D of this title, or for the 
                administration of loans made under part B of this title

        10-year repayment period under section 428(b)(1)(D), such 
        period shall commence at the time the first payment of 
        principal is due from the borrower.''; and
            (4) by adding at the end the following new subsection:

        loans which were made under sections 428A and 428B as such 
        sections were in effect prior to the date of enactment of the 
        Higher Education Amendments of 1986, under a single repayment 
        schedule which provides for a single principal payment and a 
        single payment of interest, and shall calculate the repayment 
        period for each included loan from the date of the commencement 
        of repayment of the most recent included loan. Unless the 
        consolidated loan is obtained by a borrower who is electing to 
        obtain variable interest under paragraph (2) or (3), such 
        consolidated loan shall bear interest at the weighted average

        loan pursuant to this paragraph shall be reported (if required 
        by such loan) to the Secretary or guaranty agency insuring the

        shall be payable with respect to any such extension. The 
        extension of the repayment period of any included loan shall 
        not require the formal extension of the promissory note 
        evidencing the included loan or the execution of a new 
        promissory note, but shall be treated as an administrative 
        forbearance of the repayment terms of the included loan.
            ``(2) Refinancing to secure variable interest rate.--An 
        eligible lender may reissue a loan which was made under this 
        section before July 1, 1987, or under sections 428A and 428B as 
        such sections were in effect prior to the date of enactment of 
        the Higher Education Amendments of 1986 in order to permit the 
        borrower to obtain the interest rate provided under section 
        427A(c)(4). A lender offering to reissue a loan or loans for 
        such purpose may charge a borrower an amount not to exceed $100 
        to cover the administrative costs of reissuing such loan or 
        loans, not more than one-half of which shall be paid to the 
        guarantor of the loan being reissued to recover costs of 
        reissuance. Reissuance of a loan under this paragraph shall not

        the case of loans made before the date of enactment of this 
        paragraph, notify the borrower of such loan--

                total payments for a set of loan examples; and

                holder will not make available, the holder will, to the 
                extent practicable, refer the borrower to an eligible 
                lender offering such option.''.

        shall be effective on July 1, 1994.

made by this section, with respect to loans provided under sections 
428A and 428H of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (as such sections 
existed on the date preceding the date of enactment of this Act) the 
terms, conditions and benefits applicable to such loans under such 
sections shall continue to apply to such loans after the date of

                   TITLE XV--MISCELLANOUS PROVISIONS

SEC. 15001. SENSE OF THE SENATE WITH RESPECT TO FEDERAL ENTERPRISE 
              ZONES AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENT ZONES.

  (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) the crises of poverty, high unemployment, out-
        migration, and job loss in America's inner-cities, rural areas 
        and Indian reservations demands an appropriate and timely 
        response from Congress;
            (2) manufacturing and industry has largely disappeared from 
        many United States inner cities and rural areas. This, in turn, 
        has led to the severe decline in good high-wage jobs, wholesale 
        trade, retail businesses, and a large source of local tax 
        revenues;
            (3) encouraging small and medium-sized businesses, which 
        create the majority of new jobs in the United States economy, 
        to locate and invest in poor areas is one of the keys to 
        revitalizing urban and rural America;
            (4) Enterprise Zones will help attract businesses to build 
        and grow in poor areas; they will give people incentives to 
        invest in such businesses and to hire and train both unemployed 
        and economically disadvantaged individuals; they will create 
        jobs and stimulate entrepreneurship; and they will help restore 
        the local tax revenue base to these communities;
            (5) the decline of small industry in rural areas has caused 
        thousands of people to leave such areas, thus hastening the 
        decay of rural communities and leaving the elderly in 
        particular stranded without the help of family and younger 
        neighbors;
            (6) Enterprise Zones have been tested in 37 States since 
        1982 and have proven to be successful, having generated capital 
        investments in poor neighborhoods in excess of $28,000,000,000 
        and having created more than 258,000 jobs; and
            (7) Enterprise Zones have been endorsed by, among others, 
        the National Governors Association, the National Council of 
        State Legislators, the Council of Black State Legislators, the 
        Conference of Mayors, and the Conference of Black Mayors.
    (b) Definitions.--
            (1) The term ``Enterprise Zone'' means any economically 
        distressed urban area, rural area, or Indian reservation 
        designated by the Secretaries of Housing and Urban Development, 
        Agriculture or Interior for special regulatory and tax 
        treatment, and for the targeting of Federal, State, and local 
        programs for the purposes of providing economic revitalization, 
        economic development, and job creation;
            (2) The term ``empowerment zone'' means any designated 
        enterprise zone which is designated to receive the full package 
        of regulatory and tax relief and targeted programs as provided 
        for by the enterprise zone program; and
            (3) The term ``enterprise community'' means any area 
        eligible for enterprise zone designation and ultimately 
        designated by the Secretaries of Housing and Urban Development, 
        Agriculture, or the Interior but does not receive the full 
        package regulatory relief, tax relief and targeted programs.
    (c) Sense of the Senate.--It is the Sense of the Senate that--
            (1) enterprise zones are a vital, proven tool for inner-
        city, rural, and Indian reservation revitalization and that 
        Congress should adopt Federal enterprise zone legislation;
            (2) to insure cooperation and coordination among Federal 
        agencies and to provide targeted regulatory relief, such 
        legislation shall include the establishment of an Enterprise 
        Board to development the selection criteria and to waive any 
        provision of Federal law or regulation administered by the 
        Secretary of the Department's of Housing and Urban Development, 
        Agriculture, Health and Human Services, Labor, or Education, if 
        the Board determines the waiver is necessary for achievement of 
        the comprehensive strategic plan of an enterprise zone;
            (3) to adequately and substantially address the crisis in 
        urban and rural America, such legislation shall include at 
        least 75 empowerment zones; and
            (4) each empowerment zone shall include each of the 
        following provisions:
                    (A) Enterprise Grants for implementing local 
                coordinated strategic plans such as:
                            (i) creating new, coordinated delivery 
                        systems for relevant government services;
                            (ii) creating community lending or micro-
                        enterprise loan funds;
                            (iii) providing technical assistance, 
                        entrepreneurial support, workforce skill 
                        programs, and job-search and job matching 
                        networks in the labor market;
                            (iv) leveraging private matching support; 
                        and
                            (v) matching funds for community 
                        development corporations;
                    (B) Community Policing Grants to increase police 
                presence, expand cooperative efforts between law 
                enforcement and the community, and to assure public 
                safety;
                    (C) Innovative programs and zone priority 
                investments of existing Federal agency funds targeted 
                towards empowerment zones;
                    (D) Tax incentives aimed at reducing both capital 
                and labor costs associated with operation of a business 
                in an empowerment zone;
                    (E) Tax incentives aimed at attracting equity 
                investments, including venture and seed capital, in 
                start-up or small enterprise zone businesses; and
                    (F) Tax incentives to encourage the hiring and 
                training of economically disadvantaged individuals;
            (5) Because the migration of jobs from rural areas has 
        caused many families to migrate too, the indications of 
        distress are different for rural than for urban areas. 
        Specifically, in determining whether a rural area is eligible 
        for an enterprise zone, the factors shall include job loss and 
        out-migration, rather than just the poverty rate, which is an 
        appropriate factor for urban areas.

SEC. 15002. AMERICAN CITIZENS ANNUAL REPORT ACT.

    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``American 
Citizens Annual Report Act''.
    (b) Findings and Purposes.--
            (1) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
                    (A) Publicly owned corporations provide 
                shareholders with an annual report on the financial 
                status of the corporation.
                    (B) Americans are entitled to an annual report on 
                the financial status of the Federal Government, as all 
                citizens share an interest in the financial well-being 
                of our Federal Government. Accurate, consistent, and 
                broadly distributed reporting on the Nation's finances 
                are central to the conduct of democracy.
                    (C) Recent Federal budget deficits have resulted in 
                more than a tripling of the Federal debt. With 
                prospects for enormous Federal budget deficits for the 
                next several years, the debt is a burden that affects 
                the present and future generations of Americans.
                    (D) The actual financial performance of the Federal 
                Government often differs from the budget by tens, even 
                hundreds, of billions of dollars. For example, the 
                fiscal year 1991 budget was to result in a deficit of 
                $63,000,000,000. Instead, the actual deficit for the 
                year was $268,700,000,000.
                    (E) The Chief Financial Officers Act is leading 
                agencies to develop reliable and relevant financial 
                information that is to be useful to the public, 
                including audited financial statements.
                    (F) The Federal Government continues to lose 
                billions of dollars each year through fraud, waste, 
                abuse, and mismanagement. Standardized reporting to the 
                public is essential to the improvement of 
                accountability of public programs.
                    (G) The growing Federal debt is hindering economic 
                growth and competitiveness, and ultimately, reduces the 
                standard of living of all Americans.
            (2) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are to--
                    (A) provide the American taxpayer with an annual 
                report on the financial status of the Federal 
                Government;
                    (B) increase the participation and awareness of the 
                public in finding solutions to the Federal Government's 
                budget problems;
                    (C) require the President, Congressional leaders, 
                and the chief financial officers of the Government to 
                report to the public on the well-being of the Federal 
                Government's finances as a part of their fiduciary 
                responsibilities; and
                    (D) bring a public focus to efforts already 
                underway that seek to develop and improve financial 
                standards, annual reporting, and systems in the 
                agencies of the Federal Government.
    (c) Annual Report.--Section 3513 of title 31, United States Code, 
is amended by adding at the end thereof the following:

        receipts, expenditures, fund balances, assets and liabilities, 
        and debts by major category or source, along with a brief 
        description of those trends for the most recent year;
            ``(B) a comparison of the actual Federal spending and 
        revenues by major category or source for the most recent fiscal 
        year--

                by the President for that year; and

    ``(4) The annual report shall be prepared annually in a timely

the material described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (1) 
and the final annual report shall be prepared and published as soon as

    ``(5)(A) In the case of any booklet of instructions for Form 1040,

            ``(iii) be presented in a manner that is easily 
        comprehensible to a taxpayer.
    ``(6)(A) A taxpayer is described in this paragraph if such taxpayer
