SEC. 2. REGISTRATION RENEWAL (``SUNSET'').

    (a) Section 3 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C. 136a) is amended by adding at the end of the 
following:
    ``(g) Registration Renewal.--
            ``(1) General rule.--Under the subsection the registrations 
        of pesticides are to be renewed periodically as set out in 
        paragraph (4). The dates for the renewal of a registration of a 
        pesticide are based on dates applicable to the active 
        ingredient of the pesticide as set out in paragraph (2). The 
        date on or after which an application shall be submitted for 
        the renewal of a registration is the reapplication date of the 
        active ingredient as set out in paragraph (3). The initial and 
        subsequent reapplication date of an active ingredient is set 
        out in paragraph (4). The date by which a renewal application 
        is required to be approved is the expiration date of the active 
        ingredient as set out in paragraph (5). The expiration date 
        refers to the date a registration will expire if not renewed 
        and such date is 3 years after the reapplication date of the 
        active ingredient. A registration shall not expire under this 
        section except as provided under paragraph (5) of this 
        subsection.
            ``(2) List of active ingredients.--
                    ``(A) Initial list.--Not later than 180 days after 
                the date of enactment of the Federal Insecticide, 
                Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act Amendments of 1994, the 
                Administrator shall publish in the Federal Register a 
                list of each active ingredient contained in any 
                pesticide currently registered on the date of the 
                publication of such list.
                    ``(B) List revision.--The Administrator shall 
                revise the list to add a new pesticide active 
                ingredient on the date a pesticide is registered under 
                subsection (c) which contains such ingredient. If the 
                expiration date of the active ingredient expires 
                without renewal of the registration of at least one 
                pesticide containing such active ingredient, the 
                Administrator shall remove the active ingredient from 
                the list. The Administrator shall annually publish such 
                list to include each revision made under this 
                subparagraph.
                    ``(C) List content.--The list published by the 
                Administrator under this paragraph shall state the 
                name, reapplication date, and the expiration date of 
                each active ingredient contained in the list.
                    ``(D) Publication groups.--Active ingredients 
                listed under this paragraph shall be grouped as 
                follows: An active ingredient shall be classified--
                            ``(i) in group 1 if the active ingredient 
                        was first contained in a pesticide initially 
                        registered before November 1, 1984,
                            ``(ii) in group 2 if the active ingredient 
                        was first contained in a pesticide initially 
                        registered after October 31, 1984, but before 
                        the date of enactment of the Federal 
                        Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 
                        Amendments of 1994, or
                            ``(iii) in group 3 if the active ingredient 
                        was first contained in a pesticide initially 
                        registered after such date of enactment.
            ``(3) Reapplication date.--The initial reapplication date 
        of an active ingredient--
                    ``(A) in group 1, shall be a date established by 
                the Administrator 12-14 years after the issuance of a 
                reregistration eligibility decision document for the 
                active ingredient under section 4(g)(2),
                    ``(B) in group 2, shall be a date established by 
                the Administrator 10-13 years after the enactment of 
                the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 
                Amendments of 1994, and
                    ``(C) in group 3 shall be 12 years after the date 
                of initial registration of a product containing the 
                active ingredient.
        Subsequent reapplication dates for each active ingredient shall 
        be 12 years after the preceding expiration date of such active 
        ingredient.
            ``(4) Renewal.--
                    ``(A) Procedure for renewal.--All registrants shall 
                comply with guidelines published by the Administrator 
                specifying the information required for renewal of 
                registration that are in effect 4 years prior to the 
                reapplication date for each active ingredient in the 
                registrant's product. Such guidelines shall provide 
                registrants with information sufficient to determine 
                each scientific study that must be submitted for 
                renewal of registration.
                    ``(B) Data submission, compensation, and 
                exemption.--For purposes of this subsection, the 
                provisions of subsections (c)(1) and (c)(2)(D) shall be 
                applicable to requirements for renewal of a 
                registration of a pesticide.
                    ``(C) Standard.--The Administrator shall renew the 
                registration of a pesticide if the Administrator 
                determines that (i) the registrant has submitted an 
                application for renewal of registration no later than 
                the date set forth in paragraph (3) of this subsection; 
                (ii) the registrant has submitted all required 
                information as specified by the guidelines published 
                pursuant to subparagraph (A) and any written 
                communications from the Administrator to the registrant 
                regarding the application of such guidelines; and (iii) 
                the active ingredient meets the requirements of 
                subsection (c)(5) of this section.
                    ``(D) Notification.--The Administrator shall 
                endeavor to review applications as expeditiously as 
                practicable, and shall notify the registrant promptly 
                of any deficiencies in the application for renewal of 
                registration.
                    ``(E) Effective date of renewal.--The renewal of 
                the registration of a pesticide under this paragraph 
                shall take effect on the day after the expiration date 
                of the previous registration of the pesticide.
                    ``(F) Extension.--If the registrant of a pesticide 
                submits a complete application for the renewal of the 
                registration of a pesticide in accordance with 
                subparagraph (A) and the Administrator does not take 
                final action on such application before the expiration 
                date of such registration, the Administrator shall 
                extend the pesticide's registration for one additional 
                year.
            ``(5) Expiration.--
                    ``(A) Incomplete application.--If the registrant of 
                a pesticide does not submit a complete application to 
                the Administrator, including all required information 
                as specified by the guidelines published pursuant to 
                paragraph (4)(A), on or before the reapplication date 
                of the active ingredient for which registration renewal 
                is required and the Administrator has not after such 
                date renewed the registration, the Administrator shall 
                notify the registrant at least 30 days prior to the 
                expiration date of the registration that the 
                registration shall expire upon the expiration date 
                unless the registrant has requested a hearing before 
                such time. No reapplication shall be deemed incomplete 
                if it complies with the guidelines under paragraph (4). 
                If a hearing is requested, the only matter for 
                resolution at that hearing shall be whether the 
                registrant failed to submit a complete application on 
                or before the reapplication date of the active 
                ingredient. If a hearing is held, a decision after 
                completion of such hearing shall be final. If, after a 
                hearing, the Administrator issues a determination that 
                the application is incomplete, the registration shall 
                expire. Notwithstanding any other provision of this 
                Act, a hearing shall be held and a determination made 
                within 75 days after receipt of a request for such 
                hearing. If a registrant fails to submit a request for 
                a hearing under this subsection, the registration shall 
                expire automatically upon the expiration date and the 
                expiration of the registration shall not be reviewable 
                in any court.
                    ``(B) Insufficient information.--Notwithstanding 
                any other provision of this section, if the 
                Administrator determines that the information submitted 
                for an active ingredient for which registration renewal 
                is required is insufficient to permit the Administrator 
                to evaluate the active ingredient under the 
                requirements of section 3(c)(5), the Administrator 
                shall notify each registrant to which the determination 
                applies at least 30 days prior to the expiration date 
                for such registrations that each registration shall 
                expire upon the expiration date unless the registrant 
                has requested a hearing before such time. If a hearing 
                is requested, the only matter for resolution at that 
                hearing shall be whether the Administrator's 
                determination was reasonable that the information 
                submitted is insufficient to evaluate the active 
                ingredient under section 3(c)(5). If a hearing is held, 
                a decision after completion of such hearing shall be 
                final. If after a hearing, the Administrator issues a 
                determination that the information submitted is 
                insufficient to permit the Administrator to evaluate 
                the active ingredient under the requirements of section 
                3(c)(5), the registration shall expire. Notwithstanding 
                any other provision of this Act, a hearing shall be 
                held and a determination made within 75 days after 
                receipt of a request for such hearing. If a registrant 
                fails to submit a request for a hearing under this 
                subsection, the registration shall expire automatically 
                upon the expiration date and the expiration of the 
                registration shall not be reviewable in any court.
            ``(6) Cancellation.--If the Administrator determines on the 
        basis of a registrant's application or any other information 
        that one or more uses of an active ingredient for which 
        registration renewal is required does not meet the requirements 
        of section 3(c)(5) of this Act, the Administrator shall 
        initiate a proceeding to cancel all registrations containing 
        such active ingredient to which the determination applies under 
        section 6(b) of this Act. Registrations subject to cancellation 
        proceedings shall neither expire nor be renewed pending the 
        completion of cancellation proceedings. If, after completion of 
        cancellation proceedings under section 6(b), the Administrator 
        determines not to cancel a registration, the Administrator 
        shall renew such registration.
            ``(7) Fees.--
                    ``(A) The Administrator is authorized to issue 
                regulations to assess fees from registrants reasonably 
                calculated to cover costs associated with the review of 
                registrations pursuant to this subsection.
                    ``(B) If any fee prescribed by regulations issued 
                pursuant to this paragraph with respect to the 
                registration of a pesticide is not paid by the time 
                prescribed by such regulations, the Administrator, by 
                order and without hearing, may cancel the registration.
            ``(8) Registration renewal fund.--
                    ``(A) Establishment.--There shall be established in 
                the Treasury of the United States a registration 
                renewal fund.
                    ``(B) Source and use.--All fees collected by the 
                Administrator under paragraph (6) shall be deposited 
                into the fund and shall be available to the 
                Administrator, without fiscal year limitation, to carry 
                out the provisions of subsection (g) of this Act.
            ``(9) Existing stocks.--Whenever a pesticide registration 
        expires pursuant to this subsection, the Administrator may 
        issue an order allowing continued distribution, sale or use of 
        existing stock of the expired pesticide subject to such 
        conditions and limitations as the Administrator may specify, 
        provided such distribution, sale or use is consistent with the 
        provisions of the Act.''.

SEC. 3. IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.

    (a) Exports.--
            (1) Section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o), is amended to read as 
        follows:
    ``(a) Cancellation Notices Furnished to Foreign Governments.--
Whenever a registration or a cancellation or suspension of the 
registration of a pesticide becomes effective, or ceases to be 
effective, the Administrator shall transmit, not later than 180 days 
after the effective date of the action, notification of the action to 
the governments of other countries and to appropriate international 
agencies. The notification shall include information related to the 
cancellation or suspension of the registration of the pesticide and 
information concerning other pesticides that are registered under 
section 3 and other alternatives including Integrated Pest Management, 
that could be used in lieu of the pesticide.
    ``(b) Certain Pesticides Prohibited From Export.--
            ``(1) Pesticides containing active ingredients banned 
        because of adverse effects on human health or the 
        environment.--
                    ``(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B) or 
                (C), no person may export to a foreign country a

                virtually all use of the active ingredient in the 
                United States has been prohibited. An active ingredient 
                is subject to the preceding sentence if any of the

                information indicating use of the pesticide could pose 
                a risk of significant adverse effects on public health

follows:

        determines that the requirements of paragraph (5) for 
        registration are not satisfied, the Administrator may issue a 
        notice proposing denial. The Administration shall send a notice 
        proposing denial of registration. Such a notice shall include 
        the legal and factual bases for the denial. The Administrator 
        shall send a notice proposing denial to the applicant for 
        registration and shall promptly publish the notice in the

follows:
            ``(2) Change in classification.--If the Administrator 
        determines that a change in the classification of any use of a 
        pesticide from general use to restricted use is necessary 
        because, without such restriction, the use may cause 
        unreasonable adverse effects on the environment, he shall 
        follow the applicable provisions of section 6(b).''.
    (c) Section 6(b) (7 U.S.C. 136d (b)) is amended to read as follows:

            The proponents of registration of a pesticide shall at all 
        times have the burden of showing that the standard for 
        cancellation, denial or change in classification is not met.
            ``(2) Consultation with federal agencies.--If the 
        Administrator intends to cancel or change the classification of

        shall consult with the Secretary of Agriculture regarding the 
        proposed action and provide an opportunity to submit written 
        comments. If the Administrator intends to cancel or change the 
        classification of a pesticide registered for public health 
        uses, the Administrator shall consult with the Secretary of 
        Health and Human Services regarding the proposed action and

        the standard for canceling, denying application for 
        registration of, or changing the classification of a pesticide 
        may be met, the Administrator may issue a proposed order to 
        cancel, deny or change the classification of a pesticide. In 
        issuing any proposed order under this paragraph, the 
        Administrator shall consider restricting a pesticide's use or 
        uses as an alternative to cancellation. The Administrator shall 
        send a copy of the proposed order to each registrant holding a 
        registration addressed by the proposed order and shall publish 
        the proposed order in the Federal Register. The proposed order

                whether reconsideration should be granted and whether 
                the application should be granted.
                    ``(C) After the opportunity for comment on a notice 
                issued pursuant to section 6(b)(8)(B) has expired, the 
                Administrator shall publish a final decision in the 
                Federal Register either denying the application or 
                granting reconsideration of the prior final order to 
                the extent necessary to consider the application. A 
                final decision granting reconsideration may, at the 
                Administrator's discretion, contain a final 
                determination granting or rejecting the application. If 
                such a final determination is not contained in a final 
                decision granting reconsideration, the application 
                shall be reviewed according to the provisions of 
                section 3 or 24 as appropriate.
                    ``(D)(i) If the Administrator grants 
                reconsideration, but denies the application, the 
                Administrator shall publish in the Federal Register a 
                notice proposing denial of registration pursuant to 
                section 3(c)(6) of this Act. Such a notice may be 
                contained in a final decision granting reconsideration 
                issued pursuant to section 6(b)(8)(B). Subsequent 
                action on the proposed denial shall be in accord with 
                the applicable provisions of section 6(b).
                    ``(ii) If the Administrator determines, after 
                granting reconsideration, that the application should 
                be granted, he shall publish in the Federal Register a 
                notice granting the application. Such a notice may be 
                contained in a final decision grating reconsideration 
                issued pursuant to section 6(b)(8)(B).
            ``(9) Existing stocks.--The Administrator may permit the 
        continued sale and use of existing stocks of a pesticide whose 
        registration is canceled under this Act to such extent, under 
        such conditions, and for such uses as the Administrator may 
        specify if such sale or use is not inconsistent with the 
        purposes of this Act and will not have unreasonable adverse 
        effects on the environment.''.
    (d) Conforming Amendment.--Section 25(d) (7 U.S.C. 136w(d)) is 
amended to read as follows:
    ``(d) Scientific Advisory Panel.--Prior to issuance of a proposed 
order under section 6(b), the Administrator shall notify an advisory 
panel of such action and shall provide such panel and opportunity to 
submit written comments as to the impact on health and the environment 
of such proposed orders. The Administrator shall submit proposed and 
final form regulations issued under section 25(a) within the same time 
periods as provided for the comments of the Secretary of Agriculture. 
The time requirements for proposed and final form regulations may not 
be modified or waived unless in addition to meeting the requirements of 
section 25(a), the advisory panel has failed to comment on the proposed 
action within the prescribed time period or has agreed to the 
modification or waiver.''.

SEC. 5. COORDINATION WITH THE FEDERAL FOOD, DRUG, AND COSMETIC ACT

    Section 6 (7 U.S.C. 136d) is amended by adding at the end the 
following:
    ``(i) Coordination With the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.--
            ``(1) The Administrator shall, by order and without a 
        hearing, cancel a pesticide registration, or deny the 
        application for registration or amended registration of a 
        pesticide if the Administrator has revoked a tolerance 
        regulation or denied a petition to establish a tolerance 
        regulation under section 408 of title 21 of the United States 
        Code for residues of the pesticide in or on food that could 
        result from the use of the pesticide, unless the Administrator 
        determines that such use is unlikely to result in food that is 
        adulterated within the meaning of section 342(a)(2)(B) of title 
        21 of the United States Code.
            ``(2) Except where such order eliminates all uses of a 
        pesticide, any order issued pursuant to paragraph (1) shall not 
        be effective until thirty days after publication in the Federal 
        Register, and an application or registration shall not be 
        denied or canceled pursuant to the order if the applicant or 
        registrant, within such thirty days, has applied to amend the 
        registration or application to delete the uses that form the 
        basis of the cancellation or denial under paragraph (1).''.

SEC. 6. SUSPENSION.

    (a) Section 6(c) (7 U.S.C. 136d(c)) is amended to read as follows:
    ``(c) Suspension.--
            ``(1) Order.--If the Administrator determines that use of a 
        pesticide results in an imminent hazard, he may issue an order 
        immediately suspending the registration of such pesticide. The 
        order shall specify the bases for the Administrator's 
        determination that an imminent hazard exists. The Administrator 
        shall send to the registrant by certified mail a copy of the 
        suspension order, and shall publish the order in the Federal 
        Register. The order shall become effective with respect to the 
        registrant, upon publication in the Federal Register or upon 
        receipt by the registrant of the order, whichever occurs first. 
        The order shall become effective with regard to persons other 
        than the registrant, upon publication of the order in the 
        Federal Register. The suspension shall automatically expire one 
        hundred and eighty days after becoming effective unless, on or 
        before such expiration date, the Administrator has published in 
        the Federal Register a proposed cancellation order that would 
        cancel the registration of the pesticide use suspended by the 
        order issued under this subparagraph. If a proposed 
        cancellation order is issued before the expiration date, the 
        suspension shall continue in effect until terminated in 
        accordance with paragraph (4).
            ``(2) Consultation with federal agencies.--If the 
        Administrator intends to suspend a pesticide registered for 
        agricultural uses the Administrator shall consult with the 
        Secretary of Agriculture regarding the proposed suspension. If 
        the Administrator intends to suspend a pesticide registered for 
        public health uses, the Administrator shall consult with the 
        Secretary of Health and Human Services regarding the proposed 
        suspension.
            ``(3) Duration of suspension.--A suspension order issued 
        under this subsection may be terminated by the Administrator at 
        any time. A suspension order issued under this subsection shall 
        automatically terminate upon completion of a proceeding to 
        cancel the registration of the pesticide under subsection (b), 
        or upon cancellation by the Administrator of the suspended 
        registration. If the Administrator's cancellation of the 
        suspended registration is overturned by a reviewing court, the 
        suspension order issued under this subsection shall be 
        reinstated unless otherwise ordered by the reviewing court, if 
        the decision of the court overturning the cancellation allows 
        for further substantive deliberations by the Administrator on 
        the proposed cancellation.
            ``(4) Petition to reconsider suspension.--(A) A registrant, 
        or any other interested person with the concurrence of the 
        registrant, may, within thirty days of publication of the 
        suspension order in the Federal Register, petition the 
        Administrator to reconsider the issuance of the suspension 
        order. A petitioner must include in the petition specific 
        objections to the suspension order, and must include the 
        specific bases supporting the petitioner's conclusion that the 
        standard for suspension is not met. A petition must be 
        accompanied by any information the petitioner wishes the 
        Administrator to consider in reviewing the petition. The 
        Administrator shall, within one hundred and twenty days of 
        receipt of the last of such petitions, issue an order granting 
        or denying petitions received within thirty days of the 
        publication of a suspension order. Any suspension order issued 
        under this subsection shall expire automatically if the 
        Administrator fails to respond to any petition within the time 
        required. Such an order responding to a petition for 
        reconsideration shall be sent to the petitioner and published 
        in the Federal Register, and shall include the factual and 
        legal bases for the Administrator's determination on the 
        petition.
            ``(B) A registrant, or any other interested person with the 
        concurrence of the registrant, may file with the Administrator 
        a petition to reconsider the issuance of a suspension order 
        more than thirty days after publication of the suspension order 
        in the Federal Register only if the petition is based upon 
        substantial new information which--
                    ``(i) may materially affect the basis for or 
                content of the suspension order;
                    ``(ii) was not available to the Administrator at 
                the time he issued the suspension order or denied any 
                petition submitted under subparagraph (5)(A) of this 
                paragraph; and
                    ``(iii) could not, through the exercise of due 
                diligence, have been submitted to the Administrator 
                within thirty days of the issuance of a suspension 
                order.
        In addition to demonstrating that the petition is based upon 
        new information which meets the criteria of this subparagraph, 
        a person filing a petition more than thirty days after the 
        publication of a suspension order must include in the petition 
        specific objections to the suspension order and the specific 
        base supporting the petitioner's conclusion that the standard 
        for suspension is not met. Such a petition must be accompanied 
        by any information the petitioner wishes the Administrator to 
        consider in reviewing the petition. The Administrator shall 
        issue an order granting or denying a petition filed more thirty 
        days after the publication of a suspension order within one 
        hundred and twenty days of receipt of the petition. Such an 
        order shall be sent to the petitioner and published in the 
        Federal Register, and shall include the factual and legal bases 
        for the Administrator's determination on the petition.''.
    (b) Section 6(h) (7 U.S.C. 136(h)) is amended to read as follows:
    ``(h) Unreviewable Actions.--Nothing in this section relating to 
the provision of notification to or consultation with other Federal 
Agencies or the Scientific Advisory Panel shall be construed as 
creating any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable 
at law by a party against the United States, its agencies its officers, 
or any person. No court of the United States shall have jurisdiction to 
review any challenge to any action or failure to take action by the 
Agency pursuant to this section where such challenge is based upon an 
assertion that the Agency failed to properly notify or consult with any 
other Federal Agency or the Scientific Advisory Panel.''.

SEC. 7. LABEL CALL-IN.

    (a) Section 3 (7 U.S.C. 136a) is amended by adding at the end the 
following:
    ``(h) Label Call-In.--
            ``(1) Authority to require changes.--If the Administrator 
        determines that the risks associated with the use of a 
        pesticide can be reduced by a change in the labeling, 
        packaging, or composition of the pesticide, the Administrator 
        may issue a notice requiring that registrants change the 
        labeling, packaging, or composition of the pesticide: Provided, 
        however, That the Administrator may not pursuant to this 
        section require any change in the labeling, packaging or 
        composition of a pesticide if the Administrator determines the 
        change will effectively prohibit or make economically 
        unfeasible substantially all use of the pesticide on one or 
        more use sites. The Administrator shall send any notice issued 
        pursuant to this section to the registrant of every pesticide 
        to which the determination relates. The notice shall include a 
        description of the required changes and the bases for the 
        Administrator's determination that such changes will reduce the 
        risks associated with the use of the pesticide. The notice 
        shall also include such requirements for notifying the 
        Administrator or submitting amendments of registration 
        reflecting the changes as the Administrator deems appropriate.
            ``(2) Registrant response.--Any registrant receiving a 
        notice pursuant to subsection (a) may, within 60 days of 
        receipt of the notice, file written objections to the change. A 
        registrant may object to the change if the registrant 
        believes--
                    ``(A) the change would effectively prohibit or make 
                economically unfeasible substantially all use of the 
                pesticide on one or more use sites;
                    ``(B) the change is not necessary for the 
                particular product or that a better alternative means 
                exists to prevent the unreasonable adverse effects on 
                the environment; and
                    ``(C) the costs to society of making the proposed 
                change exceed the benefits of the risk reduction 
                associated with making the proposed change.
        Any objections must include the specific bases for the 
        objections, and may be accompanied by any written information 
        the registrant desires to submit in support of the objections. 
        If a registrant fails to file timely objections to a notice, 
        the requirements contained in the notice shall become final and 
        shall not be reviewable in any court.
            ``(3) Response to objections.--The Administrator shall 
        respond to any objections within 90 days of receipt of the 
        objections by either withdrawing, modifying, or affirming the 
        requirements contained in the notice issued pursuant to 
        subsection (a). Such written response shall be sent to the 
        registrant and shall include the bases therefor. The response 
        shall also include such requirements for notifying the 
        Administrator or submitting amendments of registration 
        reflecting the changes as the Administrator deems appropriate.
            ``(4) Annual compliance date.--An annual compliance date is 
        hereby established to be on the first day of October. The 
        Administrator may establish a different compliance date for 
        registrants if it would be in the public interest.
            ``(5) Time to make change.--Except as provided in paragraph 
        (g), a registrant may not distribute or sell a product on or 
        after the first compliance date occurring more than one year 
        after issuance of a notice pursuant to subsection (a) of this 
        section unless the labeling, packaging, or composition of such 
        product complies with any requirements contained in the notice 
        or, if the notice is challenged, in the response to objections 
        issued pursuant to subsection (c). Provided, however, that if 
        timely objections are filed and the Administrator does not 
        respond to such objections within 90 days, a registrant may not 
        distribute or sell a product on or after the first compliance 
        date occurring more than 7 months after the Agency responds to 
        the objections, or more than one year from the issuance of the 
        notice under subsection (a), whichever is later.
            ``(6) Exception.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
        this subsection, if the Administrator determines that an 
        earlier effective date for a change in product labeling, 
        packaging, or composition is in the public interest, the 
        Administrator may require such changes within reasonable 
        timeframes.
            ``(7) Suspension. If a registrant fails to comply with a 
        notice issued under subsection (a) or a written response 
        modifying a notice under subsection (c), the Administrator may 
        issue an order without hearing suspending the registration. 
        Such suspension shall remain in effect until the registrant has 
        complied with the terms of the notice or the response modifying 
        the notice.

                (a) and any written response to objections under 
                subsection (c), may continue to distribute or sell such 
                pesticide product for two years after the registrant is 
                prohibited from selling such product under subsection

                shorter period is in the public interest. The 
                Administrator shall publish promptly such determination 
                in the Federal Register.

        recall of any pesticide distributed or sold in violation of any 
        requirement issued by the Administrator pursuant to this 
        section. An order issued under this subsection may apply to any 
        person who distributes or sells any pesticide in violation of 
        such a requirement and may require such person to--

                facilities to receive and store the pesticide to which

        means, for any agricultural use of a pesticide, a particular 
        crop or commodity. The Administrator shall identify, by

    (b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 12(a)(2) (7 U.S.C. 136j(a)(2)) 
is amended by adding at the end the following:

    Section 6 (7 U.S.C. 136d) is amended by adding at the end the 
following:

                a reduced risk pesticide, an explanation of the basis 
                for the request, in accordance with paragraph (9) of 
                this subsection.''.
            (2) Section 3 (c) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)) is amended to add at 
        the end the following:

                    ``(A) Not later than 1 year after the enactment of 
                this paragraph, the Administrator shall develop 
                criteria, after opportunity for public comment, for the 
                designation of reduced risk pesticides. Such criteria 
                shall, at a minimum, address potential risks to human 
                health, toxicity to other non-target organisms, 
                environmental persistence, potential to contaminate the 
                environment, and compatibility with integrated pest 
                management strategies.
                    ``(B) Any registrant or applicant for registration 
                may request the Administrator to designate a pesticide

                Administrator shall prescribe the form and content of 
                such requests for designation, which shall require the 
                requestor to address each criterion established under 
                subparagraph (A). A request for designation may be 
                combined with an application for registration under 
                this section.

                receiving a request for designation, shall notify the 
                applicant or registrant requesting designation whether 
                the request is complete. If it is found to be 
                incomplete, the Administrator shall reject the request. 
                If the request is complete, the Administrator shall 
                review the request not later than 120 days after 
                receipt, and shall designate the pesticide as a 
                `reduced risk pesticide' if the pesticide meets the 
                criteria for reduced risk issued pursuant to paragraph 
                (A). The Administrator shall publish a notice of 
                findings regarding such designation in the Federal

                designating that a pesticide qualifies for reduced risk 
                status, shall complete review of the application and 
                shall notify the applicant or registrant whether the 
                registration or amended registration has been granted 
                or denied. If the application is denied, the 
                Administrator shall comply with the procedures under 
                section 3(c)(6).
                    ``(E) If at any time after the designation of a 
                pesticide as a reduced risk pesticide the registrant

                ability to meet the criteria established under 
                subparagraph (A), the registrant shall immediately 
                submit a report containing such information to the 
                Administrator.

                subparagraph (C) can no longer be supported, the 
                Administrator shall revoke the designation, after 
                providing the registrant with an opportunity for 
                comment on the basis of the Agency's conclusion.''.

        to research in pest control methods, to support research and 
        development of pest control methods that reduce risks to human 
        health and the environment. The purpose of such research shall 
        be to achieve pest management in the most environmentally sound 
        manner possible, to reduce the incidence of pest resistance, 
        and to develop sufficient pest management alternative to ensure 
        economical agricultural production.
            ``(2) In support of (1), the following activities shall be 
        pursued:

                significant environmental properties and potential 
                human health effects of pesticides, provides for 
                comparison and analysis of those properties, and 
                provides information necessary to assist in 
                establishing priorities for research and development of 
                alternative pest management methods.

                methods.--The Secretary of Agriculture, in coordination 
                and cooperation with the Administrator, shall develop a 
                system for evaluating agricultural pest control needs 
                and the effectiveness of available chemical, 
                biological, and non-pesticide methods to control pests. 
                Such system shall identify agricultural pest management 
                needs for which there are inadequate methods of control 
                including the incidence of pest resistance and provide 
                a means to assist in setting priorities for research

                Secretary shall give highest priority to research and 
                development of methods that would significantly reduce 
                risks to public health and the environment and would 
                meet agricultural pest management needs for which there 
                are inadequate methods of control. The highest priority 
                shall be for research and development into methods that 
                would meet the criteria stated above and would provide 
                pest control methods to serve as alternatives to 
                pesticides identified in (b).
    ``(b) Safer Alternative Pest Control Plans.--The Secretary and the 
Administrator, in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior, 
shall develop and implement a process for coordinating environmental 
risk reduction through identification of pesticides that pose 
significant risk to human health or the environment, and for which 
development of use reduction programs and research on safer alternative 
means of pest control should be high priority for USDA research 
programs. The Secretary shall give highest priority to research on 
methods that would significantly reduce risks to public health and the 
environment, lead to more sustainable agricultural systems, and would 
meet significant agricultural pest management needs for which there are 
inadequate methods of pest management.
            ``(1) List of pesticides.--The Administrator shall identify 
        and provide to the Secretary of Agriculture, within six months 
        of enactment and annually thereafter, a list of agricultural 
        use pesticides--
                    ``(A) for which the Administrator is considering 
                regulatory action under section 4 or 6 that would 
                affect the availability of the pesticide. Such list 
                shall include the associated agricultural commodities 
                and pests which may be affected by regulatory action 
                regarding the pesticide;
                    ``(B) which otherwise pose significant risks to 
                human health and the environment; and
                    ``(C) for which there exists significant instances 
                of pest resistance.
            ``(2) Development of plans.--The Secretary shall review all 
        available alternatives to the pesticides contained in the list 
        provided in (b)(1). Not later than 6 months after the 
        Administrator provides the list to the Secretary, the Secretary 
        shall, in consultation with the Administrator, develop a 
        research technology transfer plan for each pest-commodity 
        combination on the list for which there are insufficient 
        efficacious alternative pest control techniques that present 
        significantly less risk to human health or the environment. In 
        developing and implementing such plans, the Secretary shall 
        give highest priority to those pesticides identified in 
        subsection (b)(1)(A).
                    ``(A) The objectives of each plan shall be--
                            ``(i) to provide alternative pest control 
                        methods to growers who will otherwise be 
                        limited in the pest control methods available; 
                        and
                            ``(ii) to significantly reduce risks to 
                        humans and the environment.
                    ``(B) Each plan shall be developed and implemented 
                in a manner consistent with any schedules for 
                regulatory action in sections 4 and 6.
    ``(c) Research.--The research component of each plan shall--
            ``(1) identify all ongoing research which could support the 
        strategy and establish priorities for research to be undertaken 
        pursuant to the plan; and
            ``(2) provide for the direct involvement of growers in 
        affected regions, educational or research institutions, and 
        other interested persons in the design, implementation, and 
        evaluation of the plan; and
            ``(3) give priority to research in cultural pest controls, 
        biological pest controls, and other non-chemical pest controls.
    ``(d) Technology Transfer.--The technology transfer component of 
each plan shall--
            ``(1) be developed with direct involvement of affected 
        growers, educational or research institutions, and other 
        interested persons;
            ``(2) provide for farm level education and technology 
        transfer of successful alternative pest controls; and
            ``(3) identify research projects nearing completion which 
        meet the objectives of this subsection and expedite technology 
        transfer of such research to growers.''
    ``(e) Coordination With Registration Activities.--The Administrator 
shall give priority to applications of any pesticide meeting the 
criteria for reduced risk under section 9 that may be developed as part 
of the strategy implementation;
    ``(f) Implementation Plan.--The Secretary and the Administrator 
shall prepare annually and present to the House Agriculture Committee 
and the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee report on 
the progress of pest management for each agricultural commodity for 
which there is a plan under paragraph (2). The report shall include an 
evaluation of whether the plans are meeting the objectives of paragraph 
(2). Evaluation shall be conducted by a committee that includes 
affected growers, researchers, members of the public, and officials of 
USDA and EPA. The Secretary and the Administrator shall make necessary 
modifications to the plans, pursuant to such evaluation.
    ``(g) Use of Research Funds.--
            ``(1) The Secretary shall allocate sufficient appropriated 
        funds to carry out the objectives of this section.
            ``(2) The Secretary may provide funds to carry out research 
        and technology transfer plans to which grower funds have been 
        committed, including grower check-off programs, marketing 
        orders, or other grower funded activities. The Secretary shall 
        give priority to research which is partially funded by non-
        Federal entities. No monies under this section may be made 
        available to persons directly or indirectly engage in the 
        registration of pesticides under this Act for profit.
    ``(h) Duplication of Research Activities.--The Secretary shall 
ensure that research conducted under this section does not duplicate 
research being undertaken by other government agencies, academic 
institutions, or private entities.
    ``(i) Integrated Pest Management.--The Secretary of Agriculture, in 
consultation and cooperation with the Administrator, shall establish a 
national goal for the adoption of integrated pest management 
techniques. Integrated pest management refers to the use of pest 
management techniques that includes reliance on field monitoring data, 
use of economic thresholds in decision-making, conservation of 
beneficial and non-target species, utilization of biologically based 
controls, and other techniques which minimize the environmental and 
human health risks of pest management practices. The Secretary of 
Agriculture, in cooperation with the Administrator, shall implement 
research, demonstration, and education programs to support meeting the 
goals for adoption of integrated pest management, and shall collect 
such information as necessary to evaluate the extent to which the goal 
is being met. The Secretary of Agriculture and the Administrator shall 
make information on integrated pest management widely available to 
pesticide users, including Federal agencies. Federal agencies shall use 
integrated pest management techniques in carrying out pest management 
activities and shall promote integrated pest management through 
procurement, regulatory policies, and other activities.
    ``(j) Use Reduction.--The Secretary, in cooperation with the 
Administrator, shall initiate pilot programs designed to establish and 
implement pesticide use reduction goals in selected ecosystems, in 
cooperation with agricultural producers, Federal, State, and local 
officials, and other appropriate public and private entities.''.

SEC. 10. MINOR USE OF PESTICIDES.

    (a) Definition.--Section 2(7 U.S.C. 136) is amended by adding at 
the end the following:
    ``(ii) Minor use.--The term `minor use' means the use of a 
pesticide on a commercial agricultural crop, on an animal, or for the 
protection of public health, for which the Administrator determines 
that--
            ``(1) the total United States acreage for the crop is less 
        than 300,000 acres and the average annual value of production 
        for the crop for the three calendar years most recently 
        completed does not exceed $500,000,000 adjusted upward annually 
        for inflation utilizing the Producer Price Index for Farm 
        Products; or
            ``(2) based on information supplied by the applicant, the 
        use does not provide sufficient economic incentive to support 
        initial or continued registration and one of the following 
        criteria applies:
                    ``(A) there are insufficient efficacious 
                alternative registered pesticides available for the 
                use;
                    ``(B) the alternatives to the pesticide pose 
                greater risks to the environment or human health; or
                    ``(C) the pesticide plays a significant part in 
                managing pest resistance.''.
    (b) Adequate Time for Submission of Minor Use Data.--Section 4 (7 
U.S.C. 136a) is amended by adding at the end the following:
    ``(m) Adequate Time for Submission of Minor Use Data.--
            ``(1) If--
                    ``(A) A registrant requests a waiver, within time 
                frames and in accordance with the terms established by 
                the Administrator for a minor use waiver of data 
                required under this section or section 3(c)(2)(B); and
                    ``(B) The Administrator denies in whole or in part 
                such waiver request;
        the registrant shall have the time period originally 
        established by the Agency for submission of such data, 
        beginning with the date of the Administrator's notification of 
        denial.
            ``(2) If a registrant requests additional time, within time 
        frames and in accordance with the terms established by the 
        Administrator, for submission of residue chemistry data for one 
        or more minor food uses, the Administrator may approve a time 
        extension for submission of such data until the final deadline, 
        established as of the date of the approval of the request, for 
        the submission of the last data required to support 
        reregistration of the pesticide active ingredient.
    ``(n) Continuation of Unsupported Minor Uses.--
            ``(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, 
        the Administrator, on request of a registrant, may delay action 
        to delete a minor food or feed use for which the registrant has 
        not agreed to timely submit residue data necessary for 
        reregistration under this section: Provided, That, the 
        Administrator may approve such delay only if the registrant 
        continues to timely submit all other data necessary for 
        reregistration and provided that the delay would not increase 
        the risk of unreasonable adverse effects on the environment or 
        impair the Administrator's ability to make the determination 
        required by subsection (g)(2). Such delay shall extend no 
        longer than the final deadline, established as of the date of 
        the approval of the request, for the submission of data for the 
        continued uses of the active ingredient.
            ``(2) The Administrator shall publish in the Federal 
        Register notice of minor uses that are approved for continued 
        use, and the date upon which such will be deleted from the 
        pesticide registrations. Each registrant must cease all 
        distribution and sale of products labeled for the minor use on 
        the established date.
            ``(3) The Administrator may by order and without hearing 
        delete a use continued under this subsection at any time prior 
        to the established date if no registrant is fulfilling data 
        requirements (other than residue chemistry data) necessary for 
        reregistration, or if the Administrator determines that the 
        delay may increase the risk of unreasonable adverse effects on 
        the environment or significantly impair the ability to make the 
        determination required by subsection (g)(2). If the registrant 
        does not comply with the order to remove the use from its 
        product registrations, the Administrator shall cancel 
        registrations containing the use by order without a hearing.
    ``(o) Authorization of Funds To Develop Public Health Data.--
            ``(1) For the purposes of this section, Secretary means the 
        Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the 
        Public Health Service.
            ``(2) In the case of a pesticide registered for use in 
        public health programs for vector control or for other uses the 
        Administrator determines to be human health protection uses, 
        the Administrator shall, upon timely request by the registrant 
        or any other interested person, or on the Administrator's own 
        initiative may, consult with the Secretary prior to taking 
        final action to suspend registration under section 
        3(c)(2)(B)(iv), or cancel a registration under sections 4, 
        6(e), or 6(f). In consultation with the Secretary, the 
        Administrator shall prescribe the form and content of requests 
        under this section.
            ``(3) The Administrator, after consulting with the 
        Secretary, shall make a determination whether the potential 
        benefits of continued use of the pesticide for public health or 
        health protection purposes are of such significance as to 
        warrant a commitment by the Secretary to conduct or to arrange 
        for the conduct of the studies required by the Administrator to 
        support continued registration under section 3 or 
        reregistration under section 4.
            ``(4) If the Administrator determines that such a 
        commitment is warranted and in the public interest, the 
        Administrator shall notify the Secretary and shall, to the 
        extent necessary, amend a notice issued under section 
        3(c)(2)(B) to specify additional reasonable time periods for 
        submission of the data.
            ``(5) The Secretary shall make such arrangements for the 
        conduct of required studies as the Secretary finds necessary 
        and appropriate to permit submission of data in accordance with 
        the time periods prescribed by the Administrator. Such 
        arrangements may include, but are not limited to, Public Health 
        Service intramural research activities, grants, contracts, or 
        cooperative agreements with academic, public health, or other 
        organizations qualified by experience and training to conduct 
        such studies.
            ``(6) The Secretary may provide for support of the required 
        studies using funds authorized to be appropriated under this 
        section, the Public Health Service Act, or other appropriate 
        authorities. After a determination is made under subsection 
        (d), the Secretary shall notify the Committees on 
        Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate 
        of the sums required to conduct the necessary studies.
            ``(7) There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out 
        the purposes of this section $12,000,000 for fiscal year 1993, 
        and such sums as may be necessary for succeeding fiscal 
        years.''.

                        restriction may cause unreasonable adverse 
                        effects on the environment, the pesticide shall 
                        be applied only by or under the direct

                        only by prescription if the Administrator 
                        determines that retaining the use of a

        subsection shall state with reasonable specificity the nature 
        of the violation and specify a time for compliance which the 
        Administrator determines is reasonable, taking into account the 
        seriousness of the violation and any good faith efforts to 
        comply with applicable requirements. An order issued under this 
        subsection shall require the person to whom it was issued to 
        comply with the requirement immediately or within a specified 
        time period, but in no event longer than one year after the 
        date the order was issued.

        corrective action within the time specified in the order, the 
        Administrator may assess a civil penalty of not more than 
        $25,000 for each day of continued noncompliance with the order.
            ``(4) Consultation with administrator.--The recipient of an 
        order issued under this section (other than an administrative 
        penalty order as described in subsection (c)), shall have an

        with the Administrator or any duly designated representative 
        concerning the alleged violation.

        under this subsection shall prevent the State or the 
        Administrator from assessing any penalties nor otherwise affect

        under other provisions of this Act, nor affect any person's 
        obligations to comply with any section of this Act or with a 
        term or condition of any registration approved under this Act.

        jurisdiction under any Federal or State law to review any order 
        issued under this subsection in any action except an action to 
        enforce an order issued under this subsection or to recover a 
        civil penalty for violation of, or noncompliance with such

        a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed $25,000 or the 
        economic benefit of noncompliance, whichever is higher, for 
        each such violation. Each day such a violation continues shall, 
        for purposes of this subsection, constitute a separate 
        violation of the Act. The Administrator's authority under this 
        paragraph shall be limited to matters where the total penalty 
        sought does not exceed $400,000, except where the Administrator 
        and the Attorney General jointly determine that a matter or 
        matters involving a larger penalty amount are appropriate for 
        administrative penalty action. Any such determination by the 
        Administrator and the Attorney General shall not be subject to 
        judicial review.
            ``(2) Hearing.--A civil penalty for a violation of this Act

        record after an opportunity (provided in accordance with this 
        subparagraph) for a hearing in accordance with section 554 of 
        Title 5, United States Code. Before issuing such an order, the 
        Administrator shall give written notice to the person to be 
        assessed a civil penalty under such order by the Administrator, 
        and shall provide such person an opportunity to request, within 
        15 days of the date the notice is received by such person, such 
        a hearing on the order.
            ``(3) Determination of penalty.--In determining the amount 
        of a civil penalty, the Administrator shall take into account 
        the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation 
        or violations and, with respect to the violator, ability to 
        pay, effect on ability to continue to do business, any history 
        of prior such violations (including whether the violation was a 
        first-time violation), the degree of culpability, the economic 
        benefit of noncompliance, and such other matters as justice may 
        require.
            ``(4) The minimum penalty the Administrator must assess 
        under this subsection upon a determination of liability is the 
        amount of the economic benefit resulting from the violation, 
        where such economic benefit, if any, is calculable, provided 
        that nothing in this subsection shall limit the Administrator's 
        discretion to issue warning notices pursuant to section 
        14(a)(3) of the Act.

        compromise, modify, or remit, with or without conditions, any 
        civil penalty which may be imposed under this subsection. The 
        amount of such penalty, or the amount agreed upon in 
        compromise, may be deducted from any sums owing by the United 
        States to the person charged.
            ``(6) Judicial review.--Any person who requested in 
        accordance with paragraph (2) a hearing respecting the 
        assessment of a civil penalty and who is aggrieved by an order 
        assessing a civil penalty, or against whom a civil penalty is 
        assessed under paragraph (8) of this subsection, may seek 
        judicial review in accordance with section 16(a)(2) of the Act.

                the case may be) in an action brought in any

                such an action, the validity, amount, and 
                appropriateness of such penalty shall not be subject to 
                review.

                proceedings and a quarterly nonpayment penalty for each 
                quarter during which such failure to pay persists. Such 
                nonpayment penalty shall be 10 percent of the aggregate 
                amount of such person's outstanding penalties and 
                nonpayment penalties accrued as of the beginning of 
                each quarter.

        administrative proceedings under this subsection, may issue 
        subpoenas compelling the attendance and testimony of witnesses 
        and the production of documents, and may request the Attorney 
        General to bring an action to enforce any subpoena issued under 
        this paragraph. The district courts of the United States shall 
        have jurisdiction to enforce such subpoenas and impose

        upon conviction of violating this subparagraph, be subject to a 
        fine of not more than $1,000,000. If a conviction of a person 
        is for a violation committed after a first conviction of such 
        person under this subparagraph, the maximum punishment shall be 
        doubled with respect to both fine and imprisonment.
            ``(B) For purposes of this subparagraph--
                    ``(i) the term ``imminent danger'' means the 
                existence of a condition or set of conditions that 
                could reasonably be expected to cause death or serious 
                bodily injury unless the condition is remedied; and
                    ``(ii) the term ``serious bodily injury'' means 
                bodily injury which involves a substantial risk of 
                death, unconsciousness, extreme physical pain, 
                protracted and obvious disfigurement, or protracted 
                loss or impairment of the function of a bodily member, 
                organ, or mental faculty.
            ``(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a court 
        may make the following disposition of fines imposed under this 
        Title, in addition to payment, if any, to the United States 
        Treasury:
                    ``(A) Upon recommendation of the United States, and 
                in accordance with the terms of such recommendation, 
                the court may pay to an individual who has given 
                information or services leading to a criminal 
                conviction under this Title an amount from the criminal 
                fine assessed as a result of any violation of this 
                subchapter not more than the lesser of one-half the 
                fine imposed or $50,000.
                    ``(B) Upon recommendation of the United States, and 
                in accordance with the terms of such recommendation, 
                the court may pay to any State, municipality, or other 
                political subdivision of a State, which has given 
                significant support to the prosecution or investigation 
                leading to a conviction under this title, an amount not 
                more than one-half of the fine imposed for that 
                conviction.
    ``(f) Emergency Powers.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
this Act, the Administrator, upon receipt of evidence that a specific 
use of a pesticide or pesticide device is presenting an imminent and 
substantial endangerment to public health or welfare, or the 
environment, may request the Attorney General to bring suit on behalf 
of the United States in the appropriate United States district court to 
immediately restrain any person using such pesticide or device to stop 
the activity or to take such other action as may be necessary, provided 
that relief under this subsection does not include suspension under 
section 6(c) of the Act and is not available where the Administrator, 
in his discretion, determines that a suspension under section 6(c) is 
adequate to stop or prevent the imminent and substantial endangerment. 
If it is not practicable to assure prompt protection of public health 
or welfare or the environment by commencement of such civil action, the 
Administrator may issue such orders as may be necessary to protect 
public health or welfare or the environment. Any order issued by the 
Administrator under this section shall be effective upon issuance and 
shall remain in effect for a period of not more than 60 days, unless an 
action is brought pursuant to the first sentence of this section before 
the expiration of that period. Whenever such an action is brought 
within the 60-day period, the order shall remain in effect for an 
additional 14 days or for such longer period as may be authorized by 
the court in which such action is brought. Any order issued under this 
paragraph shall not be subject to judicial review except during 
judicial enforcement proceedings brought by the Attorney General or his 
delegate. Nothing herein shall diminish the right of any person subject 
to a suspension proceeding under section 6(c) of the Act.''.

the contract for the procurement of goods, materials, and services, or 
the grant or loan is to be performed, in whole or in any part, at any 
facility at which the violation which gave rise to such conviction 
occurred, and if sucy facility is owned, operated, leased, or 
supervised at the time of the violation by such person. The prohibition 
in the preceding sentence shall continue until the Administrator 
certifies that the condition giving rise to such conviction has been 
corrected.

to provide all Federal agencies with the notification necessary for the 
purposes of subsection (a).

        official.
The district courts shall have jurisdiction, without regard to the 
amount in controversy or the citizenship of the parties, to enforce the 
Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to order any 
appropriate relief under section XX of the Act, and to impose any 
appropriate civil penalties (except for actions under subsection (2)) 
for violations of the Act. The district court shall have jurisdiction 
in actions brought under subsection (a)(2) against the Federal official

                criminal action in a court of the United States or a 
                State or a Federal administrative penalty action to 
                require compliance with the Act or a regulation

plaintiff shall serve a copy of the complaint on the Attorney General 
of the United States and on the Administrator. No consent judgment 
shall be entered in an action brought under this section in which the 
United States is not a party prior to 60 days following the receipt of 
a copy of the proposed consent judgment by the Attorney General and the 
Administrator during which time the Government may submit its comments 
on the proposed consent judgment to the court and parties or may 
intervene as a matter of right. The court shall not approve a proposed 
consent judgment that is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or 
inconsistent with the purposes or requirements of the Act, and shall 
consider any views expressed by the United States with respect to the 
consent judgment.

employee's compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment 
because the employee (or any persons acting pursuant to a request of 
the employee) has--
            ``(1) commenced, caused to be commenced, or is about to 
        commence or cause to be commenced a proceeding under this

        action to carry out the purposes of this chapter.
    ``(b) Remedy.--
            ``(1) Any employee who believes that the employee has been 
        discharged or otherwise discriminated against by any person in 
        violation of subsection (a) of this section may, within 30 days 
        after such alleged violation occurs, file (or have any person 
        file on the employee's behalf) a complaint with the Secretary 
        of Labor (hereafter in this section referred to as the 
        `Secretary') alleging such discharge or discrimination. Upon 
        receipt of such a complaint, the Secretary shall notify the 
        person named in the complaint of the filing of the complaint.
            ``(2)(A) Upon receipt of a complaint filed under paragraph 
        (1), the Secretary shall conduct an investigation of the 
        violation alleged in the complaint. Within 120 days of the 
        receipt of such complaint, the Secretary shall complete such 
        investigation and shall notify in writing the complainant (and 
        any person acting on behalf of the complainant) and the person 
        alleged to have committed such violation of the results of the 
        investigation conducted pursuant to this paragraph. Within 90 
        days of the receipt of such complaint the Secretary shall, 
        unless the proceeding on the complaint is terminated by the 
        Secretary on the basis of a settlement entered into by the 
        Secretary and the person alleged to have committed such 
        violation, issue an order either providing the relief 
        prescribed by subparagraph (B) or denying the complaint. An 
        order of the Secretary shall be made on the record after notice 
        and opportunity for agency hearing. The Secretary may not enter 
        into a settlement terminating a proceeding on a complaint 
        without the participation and consent of the complainant.
            ``(B) If in response to a complaint filed under paragraph 
        (1) the Secretary determines that a violation of subsection (a) 
        of this section has occurred, the Secretary shall order (i) the 
        person who committed such violation to take affirmative action 
        to abate the violation, (ii) such person to reinstate the 
        complainant to the complainant's former position together with 
        compensation (including back pay) terms, condition, and 
        privileges of the complainant's employment, (iii) compensatory 
        damages, and (iv) where appropriate, exemplary damages. If such 
        an order is issued, the Secretary, at the request of the 
        complainant shall assess against the person against whom the 
        order is issued a sum equal to the aggregate amount of all 
        costs and expenses (including attorney's fees), reasonably 
        incurred, as determined by the Secretary, by the complainant 
        for, or in connection with, the bringing of the complaint upon 
        which the order was issued.
    ``(c) Review.--
            ``(1) Any employee or employer adversely affected or 
        aggrieved by an order issued under subsection (b) of this 
        section may obtain review of the order in the United States 
        court of appeals for the circuit in which the violation, with 
        respect to which the order was issued, allegedly occurred. The 
        petition for review must be filed within 60 days from the 
        issuance of the Secretary's order. Review shall conform to 
        chapter 7 of title 5.
            ``(2) An order of the Secretary, with respect to which 
        review could have been obtained under paragraph (1), shall not 
        be subject to judicial review in any criminal or other civil 
        proceeding.
    ``(d) Enforcement.--Whenever a person has failed to comply with an 
order issued under subsection (b)(2) of this section, the Secretary 
shall file a civil action in the United States district court for the 
district in which the violation was found to occur to enforce such 
order. In actions brought under this subsection, the district courts 
shall have jurisdiction to grant all appropriate relief, including 
injunctive relief and compensatory and exemplary damages.
    ``(e) Exclusion.--Subsection (a) of this section shall not apply 
with respect to any employee who, acting without direction from the 
employee's employer (or any agent of the employer), deliberately causes 
a violation of any requirement of this chapter.''.
