Program Act''.

SEC. 302. STUDY.

    (a) Study.--The Secretary of the Treasury shall by June 1, 1997 
complete a study of the feasibility of a circulating commemorative coin 
program to commemorate each of the 50 States. The study shall assess 
likely public acceptance of and consumer demand for different coins 
that might be issued in connection with such a program (taking into 
consideration the pace of issuance of coins and the length of such a 
program), a comparison of the costs of producing coins issued under the 
program and the revenue that the program would generate, the impact on 
coin distribution systems, the advantages and disadvantages of 
different approaches to selecting designs for coins in such a program, 
and such other factors as the Secretary considers appropriate in 
deciding upon the feasibility of such a program. No steps taken in 
order to gather information for this study shall be considered a 
collection of information within the meaning of section 3502 of title 
44, United States Code.
    (b) Report.--The Secretary shall submit the study required in 
subsection (a) above, to the Committee on Banking and Financial 
Services of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Banking, 
Housing and Urban Affairs of the Senate, simultaneously on its receipt 
by the Secretary.
    (c) 50-State Commemorative Coin Program.--The Secretary shall 
determine by August 1, 1997 whether the results of the study authorized 
by subsection (a) justify such a program. If the Secretary determines 
that such a program is justified, then he shall by January 1, 1999, 
notwithstanding the fourth sentence of subsection (d)(1) and subsection 
(d)(2) of section 5112, title 31, United States Code, commence a 
commemorative coin program consisting of the minting and issuance of 
quarter dollar coins bearing designs, selected in accordance with 
paragraph (4) of this subsection, which are emblematic of the 50 
States. If the Secretary determines that such a commemorative coin 
program is justified but that it is not practicable to commence the 
program by January 1, 1999, then he shall notify the Committee on 
Banking and Financial Services of the House of Representatives and the 
Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate of such 
impracticability and of the date on which the program will commence.
            (1) Design.--The design for each quarter dollar issued 
        under the program shall be emblematic of 1 of the 50 States. 
        The designs for quarter dollar coins issued during each year of 
        the program shall be emblematic of States which have not 
        previously been commemorated under the program.
            (2) Order of issuance.--Each State will be honored by a 
        coin in the order of that State's admission to the United 
        States.
            (3) Number of coins.--Of the quarter dollar coins issued 
        during each year of the program, the Secretary shall prescribe, 
        on the basis of such factors as the Secretary determines to be 
        appropriate, the number of quarter dollar coins which shall be 
        issued with each of the designs selected for such year.
            (4) Selection of design.--Each of the 50 designs required 
        for quarter dollars issued under the program shall be--
                    (A) selected pursuant to a process, decided upon by 
                the Secretary, on the basis of the study conducted 
                pursuant to subsection (a), which process shall 
                involve, among other things, consultation with 
                appropriate officials of the State being commemorated 
                with such design; and
                    (B) reviewed by the Citizens Commemorative Coin 
                Advisory Committee and the Commission of Fine Arts.
            (5) Treatment as numismatic items.--For purposes of 
        sections 5134 and 5136 of title 31, United States Code, all 
        coins minted under this section shall be considered to be 
        numismatic items.
            (6) Numismatic items.--
                    (A) Quality of coins.--The Secretary may mint and 
                issue such number of quarter dollars of each design 
                selected under paragraph (4) of this subsection in 
                uncirculated and proof qualities as the Secretary 
                determines to be appropriate.
                    (B) Silver coins.--Notwithstanding the provisions 
                of subsection 5112(b) of title 31, United States Code, 
                the Secretary may mint and issue such number of quarter 
                dollars of each design selected under paragraph (4) of 
                this subsection as the Secretary determines to be 
                appropriate with a content of 90 percent silver and 10 
                percent copper.
                    (C) Sources of bullion.--The Secretary may obtain 
                silver for minting coins under paragraph (6)(B) from
