SEC. 1411. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY REORGANIZATION AND PERSONNEL 
              REDUCTION.

    (a) Intelligence Community Reorganization.--The President shall 
reorganize the United States Intelligence Community to reduce 
redundancy and overlapping jurisdiction of intelligence components and 
to centralize (to the extent determined appropriate by the President) 
responsibility and authority for intelligence activities.
    (b) Personnel Reductions.--(1) In implementing the reorganization 
required by subsection (a), the President shall, for each of fiscal 
years 1996 through 2000, reduce the total number of military and 
civilian personnel employed by, or assigned or detailed to, elements of 
the Intelligence Community by not less than 4 percent of the baseline 
number specified in paragraph (2). The President shall direct how such 
reductions are to be allocated among the elements of the Intelligence 
Community.
    (2) For purposes of paragraph (1), the baseline number is the total 
number of military and civilian personnel employed by, or assigned or 
detailed to, elements of the Intelligence Community as of September 30,

    (4) Functions and personnel may not be reassigned in order to 
avoid, or reduce the effect of, the reductions required by this

reductions in the overall number of members of the Armed Forces or of 
civilian employees of the Government, as the case may be.
    (c) Intelligence Community Defined.--For purposes of this section, 
the Intelligence Community consists of those agencies (and elements of

identical resolution) by the end of the 20-day period beginning on the 
date on which the Commission transmits the report to the Congress under 
section 4022(f)(4), such committee shall be, at the end of such period, 
discharged from further consideration of such resolution, and such 
resolution shall be placed on the appropriate calendar of the House 
involved.
    (d) Consideration.--
            (1) In general.--On or after the third day after the date 
        on which the committee to which such a resolution is referred 
        has reported, or has been discharged (under subsection (c)) 
        from further consideration of, such a resolution, it is in 
        order (even though a previous motion to the same effect has 
        been disagreed to) for any Member of the respective House to 
        move to proceed to the consideration of the resolution (but 
        only on the day after the calendar day on which such Member 
        announces to the House concerned the Member's intention to do 
        so). All points of order against the resolution (and against 
        consideration of the resolution) are waived. The motion is 
        highly privileged in the House of Representatives and is 
        privileged in the Senate and is not debatable. The motion is 
        not subject to amendment, or to a motion to postpone, or to a

        motions and appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited 
        to not more than 2 hours, which shall be divided equally 
        between those favoring and those opposing the resolution. An 
        amendment to the resolution is not in order. A motion further 
        to limit debate is in order and not debatable. A motion to 
        postpone, or a motion to proceed to the consideration of other 
        business, or a motion to recommit the resolution is not in 
        order. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the resolution 
        is agreed to or disagreed to is not in order.
            (3) Quorum call.--Immediately following the conclusion of 
        the debate on a resolution described in subsection (a) and a 
        single quorum call at the conclusion of the debate if requested 
        in accordance with the rules of the appropriate House, the vote 
        on final passage of the resolution shall occur.
            (4) Appeals from decision of chair.--Appeals from the 
        decisions of the Chair relating to the application of the rules 
        of the Senate or the House of Representatives, as the case may

    (e) Consideration by Other House.--
            (1) In general.--If, before the passage by one House of a 
        resolution of that House described in subsection (a), that 
        House receives from the other House a resolution described in 
        subsection (a), then the following procedures shall apply:
                    (A) The resolution of the other House shall not be 
                referred to a committee and may not be considered in 
                the House receiving it except in the case of final 
                passage as provided in subparagraph (B)(ii).
                    (B) With respect to a resolution described in 
                paragraph (1) of the House receiving the resolution--
                            (i) the procedure in that House shall be 
                        the same as if no resolution had been received 
                        from the other House; but
                            (ii) the vote on final passage shall be on 
                        the resolution of the other House.
            (2) Consideration after disposition by other house.--Upon 
        disposition of the resolution received from the other House, it 
        shall no longer be in order to consider the resolution that 
        originated in the receiving House.
    (f) Rules of the Senate and House.--This section is enacted by 
Congress--
            (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate 
        and House of Representatives, respectively, and as such it is 
        deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but 
        applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in 
        that House in the case of a resolution described in subsection 
        (a), and it supersedes other rules only to the extent that it 
        is inconsistent with such rules; and
            (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of 
        either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the 
        procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and 
        to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that

   CHAPTER 3--PRIVATIZATION OF FEDERAL POWER MARKETING ADMINISTRTIONS
SEC. 4031. SHORT TITLE.

    This chapter may be cited as the ``Federal Power Asset 
Privatization Act of 1995''.

SEC. 4032. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that:
            (1) the Federal Power Marketing Administrations, over the 
        years, have served to help bring electricity to many areas in 
        the Nation;
            (2) they have done so with the investment of the American 
        taxpayer;
            (3) the necessity of federally owned power generation and 
        transmission facilities has passed and halting this practice is 
        in the best national interest of the United States;
            (4) in fairness to the longtime consumers of Federal Power 
        Marketing Administrations, any process of sale should be open 
        to them;
            (5) the taxpayers, through investing in the construction 
        and operation, have established equity in the facilities; and
            (6) this equity entitles the American taxpayer to expect 
        the highest possible return in the sale process.

SEC. 4033. SALE OF ASSETS.

    (a) Sale of Assets.--The Secretary is authorized and directed to 
take such steps as necessary to sell all electric power generation 
facilities and transmission facilities, that are currently owned and 
operated by Federal departments and agencies under the supervision of, 
or coordination with, the Federal Power Marketing Administrations. No 
foreign person or corporation may purchase any such facilities; such 
facilities may be sold only to a United States citizen or to a 
corporation or partnership organized under the laws of a State. After 
such sales are completed the Secretary shall terminate the operations 
of the Federal Power Marketing Administrations. The heads of other 
affected Federal departments and agencies shall assist the Secretary of 
Energy in implementing the sales authorized by this section.
    (b) Price; Structure of Sale.--
            (1) Price.--The Secretary shall obtain the highest possible 
        price for such facilities. In determining the highest possible 
        price, the value of future tax revenues shall be included.
            (2) Retention of financial advisor.--In order to conduct 
        the sales authorized by this section in such manner as will 
        produce the highest possible price for the facilities to be 
        sold consistent with this chapter, within 30 days of enactment 
        of this section, the Secretary shall, through a competitive 
        bidding process, retain an experienced private sector firm to 
        serve as financial advisor to the Secretary with respect to 
        such sales.
            (3) Financial advisor's report.--Within 90 days of being 
        retained by the Secretary, the financial advisor shall provide 
        to the Secretary a report containing--
                    (A) a description of those assets described in 
                subsection (a) which, in the opinion of the financial 
                advisor, can be successfully transferred to private 
                sector ownership or operation;
                    (B) the value of each such asset, calculated on the 
                basis of the valuation method or methods which the 
                financial advisor deems most appropriate to a 
                particular asset;
                    (C) the appropriate alternative transactional 
                methods for transferring each such asset to private 
                sector ownership or operation;
                    (D) the amount of proceeds which the financial 
                advisor estimates would be paid to the United States 
                Government as a result of such transaction, including 
                the present value of future revenue from taxes and any 
                other future payments to be made to the United States 
                Government; and
                    (E) an estimate of the average market rate for 
                wholesale electric power sales within each region 
                served by a Federal Power Marketing Administration.
    (c) Time of Sale.--Sales of facilities under this section shall be 
conducted in accordance with the time of sale schedule set forth in 
section 4034. At least one year before the date of any sale specified 
in such schedule, the Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of 
the Army and the Secretary of the Interior, and based on the 
recommendations of the financial advisor, shall select the facilities 
or groups of facilities to be sold and establish the terms and 
conditions of the sale.
    (d) Former Employees of PMAS.--It is the sense of the Congress that 
the purchaser of any such facilities should offer to employ, where 
possible, former employees of the Federal Power Marketing 
Administrations in connection with the operation of the facilities 
following their purchase.
    (e) Proceeds.--The Secretary of Energy shall deposit sale proceeds 
in the Treasury of the United States to the credit of miscellaneous 
receipts.
    (f) Preparation.--The Secretary of Energy is authorized to use 
funds appropriated to the Department of Energy for the Federal Power 
Marketing Administrations and funds otherwise appropriated to other 
Federal agencies for power generation and related activities in order 
to prepare these assets for sale and conveyance. Such preparation shall 
provide sufficient title to ensure the beneficial use, enjoyment, and 
occupancy to the purchasers of the assets to be sold and shall include 
identification of all associated laws and regulations to be amended for 
the purpose of these sales. The Secretary of Energy shall undertake a 
study of the effect of sales of facilities under this chapter on 
existing contracts for the sale of electric power generated at such 
facilities.
    (g) Reporting of Sales.--Not later than one year after the sale of 
the assets of each Federal Power Marketing Administration in accordance 
with this chapter, the Secretary of Energy shall--
            (1) complete the business of, and close out, such 
        administration; and
            (2) prepare and submit to Congress a report documenting the 
        sales.
    (h) Treatment of Sales for Purposes of Certain Laws.--The sales of 
assets under this chapter shall not be considered a disposal of Federal 
surplus property under the following provisions of law:
            (1) Section 203 of the Federal Property and Administrative 
        Services Act of 1949 (40 U.S.C. 484).
            (2) Section 13 of the Surplus Property Act of 1944 (50 
        U.S.C. App. 1622).

SEC. 4034. TIME OF SALES.

    (a) Schedule.--During the next 5 years, the Secretary of Energy 
shall complete the sale of the electric
 power generation and transmission assets referred to in section 4033

    (b) Unexpended Balances.--Following the sale of the assets of each 
of the Federal Power Marketing Administrations and their associated 
power generation facilities, the Secretary of Energy shall return the 
unexpended balances of funds appropriated for that administration to 
the Treasury of the United States.

SEC. 4035. RATE STABILIZATION FOR AFFECTED CONSUMERS.

    So that the affected consumers of each Federal Power Marketing 
Administration are not impacted by severe rate increases, each 
purchaser of electric power generation facilities providing electric 
power to customers within any region shall be required, as part of the 
agreement to purchase such facilities, to insure that the price at 
which electric power is sold to such consumers does not increase above 
the baseline price at a rate greater than 10 percent annually. For 
purposes of this section, the term ``baseline price'' means the price 
for the sale of electric power to a consumer that is in effect on the 
date of the sale of the facility. The preceding sentence shall cease to 
apply when the price at which electric power is sold to a consumer is 
at least equal to the average market rate for wholesale electric power 
sales within the region concerned, as determined by the Financial 
Advisor.

SEC. 4036. LICENSING OF PROJECTS TO PRESERVE CURRENT OPERATING 
              CONDITIONS.

    (a) Original License.--Simultaneously with the sale of 
hydroelectric generation facility under this chapter, the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission shall issue an original license under part 
1 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a-823b) to the purchaser for 
the construction, operation, and maintenance of such facility. Such 
license shall expire on the date 10 years after the date of the sale 
facility and shall contain standard terms and conditions for 
hydroelectric power licenses issued under part 1 of such Act for 
facilities installed at Federal water projects, together with such 
additional terms and conditions as the Commission deems necessary, in 
consultation with the department or agency which operates such water 
project, to further the project purposes and insure that the project 
will continue operations in the same manner and subject to the same 
procedures, contracts, and other requirements as were applicable prior 
to the sale. The Commission shall publish such license terms and 
conditions for each facility to be sold under this chapter as promptly 
as practicable after the date of the enactment of this Act but not 
later than one year prior to the date established for the sale of the 
facility.
    (b) License Required.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission shall have jursidiction under 
part 1 of the Federal Power Act over any hydroelectric generation 
facility sold under this chapter.

site-specific risk assessment conducted in accordance with section 413 
and an analysis of risk reduction benefits and costs conducted in 
accordance with section 414.

action, the Under Secretary shall select the lowest cost action which 
achieves a residual risk that is within the risk range goal established 
by the National Contingency Plan for protection of public health and 
the environment, unless--
            ``(1) the incremental benefits of a more expensive remedial 
        action justify incurring the incremental costs of the more 
        expensive remedy, as set forth in the analysis of risk 
        reductions cost and benefits for the remedial action pursuant 
        to section 414, in which case a more expensive remedy may be 
        selected, or
            ``(2) the benefits of the lowest cost remedy which achieves 
        a residual risk level within the risk range goal are not 
        reasonably related to the costs of such remedy, in which case a 
        less expensive remedy may be selected.
    ``(c) Consultation.--Before selection a remedial action and before 
public comment under subsection (d), the Under Secretary shall consult 
with the Administrator, officials of State, local, or tribal 
governments having jurisdiction over the property or, in the case of 
property which is exclusively under Federal jurisdiction, having 
jurisdiction over the surrounding areas. Such consultation shall 
include discussion of, at a minimum, current area demographics, land 
and water uses, and currently planned land and water uses, the 
determination of which shall remain the sole purview of the appropriate 
State, local, or tribal government with jurisdiction.--
    ``(d) Public Comment.--Before selection of a remedial action, the 
Under Secretary shall provide a period of not less than 30 days for 
public comment on the remedial action.
    ``(e) Certification.--The Under Secretary shall certify the 
following when selecting a remedial action:
            ``(1) That the analysis of risk reduction benefits and 
        costs for the remedial action pursuant to section 414 is based 
        on objective and unbiased scientific and economic evaluations 
        of all significant and relevant information and on risk 
        assessments provided to the agency by interested parties 
        relating to the costs, risks, and risk reduction and other 
        benefits of the remedial action selected.
            ``(2) That the incremental risk reduction or other benefits 
        of the remedial action will be likely to justify, and be 
        reasonably related to, the incremental costs incurred by the 
        Federal Government, by State, local, and tribal governments, 
        and other public and private entities.
            ``(3) That other alternative remedial actions identified or 
        considered by the agency were found to be less cost-effective 
        at achieving a substantially equivalent reduction in risk.
    ``(f) Administrative Record.--All documents considered by the Under 
Secretary shall be made part of the administrative record for purposes 
of judicial review.

``SEC. 413. SITE-SPECIFIC RISK ASSESSMENT.

    ``(a) In General.--(1) A site-specific risk assessment shall be 
performed in accordance with this section before the selection of a 
remedial action at a defense nuclear facility. The Under Secretary 
shall apply the principles set forth in subsection (b) in order to 
ensure that a site-specific risk assessment--
            ``(A) distinguishes scientific findings from other 
        considerations;
            ``(B) is, to the extent feasible, scientifically objective, 
        unbiased, and inclusive of all relevant data; and
            ``(C) relies, to the extent available and practicable, on 
        factual site-specific data.
    ``(2) Discussions or explanations required under this section need 
not be repeated in each risk assessment document as long as there is a 
reference to the relevant discussions or explanation in another agency 
document which is available to the public.
    ``(b) Principles.--The principles to be applied in conducting a 
site-specific risk assessment are as follows:
            ``(1) When discussing human health risks, a site-specific 
        risk assessment shall contain a discussion of both relevant 
        laboratory and relevant epidemiologic data of sufficient

        health risks and a potential toxin or activity. Where conflicts 
        among such data appear to exist, or where animal data is used 
        as a basis to assess human health, the site-specific risk 
        assessment shall, to the extent feasible and appropriate,

        comparative physiology, routes of exposure, bioavailability, 
        pharmacokinetics, and any other relevant factor, including the 
        sufficiency of basic data for review. The discussion of 
        possible reconciliation should indicate whether there is a 
        biological basis to assume a resulting harm in humans. Animal 
        data shall be reviewed with regard to its relevancy to humans.

        license application in accordance with the provisions of this 
        title and the Commission's regulations governing the licensing 
        of independent high-level radioactive waste and spent fuel 
        storage installations, as amended in accordance with this 
        title, except that the Commission shall issue a final decision 
        granting or denying the license no later than 18 months from 
        the date of the submittal of the license application.
    (e) Additional Authority.--
            (1) The Corps of Engineers is authorized to commence 
        construction of the interim storage facility subsequent to 
        submittal of the license application. The Commission shall 
        issue an order suspending such construction at any time if the 
        Commission determines that such construction poses an 
        unreasonable risk to public health and safety or the 
        environment. The Commission shall terminate all or part of such 
        order upon a determination that the Corps of Engineers has 
        taken appropriate action to eliminate such risk.
            (2) For a temporary period beginning with issuance of the 
        license for the interim storage facility, the Commission shall 
        authorize the Corps of Engineers, at the Corps of Engineers'

        applicable to the licensing of independent high-level 
        radioactive waste and spent fuel storage installations, 
        including the required submission of environmental reports, in 
        like manner as a private applicant. No activity of the Corps of 
        Engineers under this section, including the selection of a site 
        for the interim storage facility, the preparation and submittal 
        of a license application for such facility, and the 
        construction and operation of such facility shall be considered 
        a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of 
        the human environment for purposes of the National 
        Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). No 
        such activity shall require the preparation of an environmental 
        impact statement under section 102(2)(C) of the National 
        Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)) or

        section shall be accompanied by an Environmental Impact 
        Statement prepared under section 102(2)(C) of the National 
        Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)). In 
        preparing such Environmental Impact Statement, the Commission--
                    (i) shall assume that 100,000 MTU will be stored at 
                the facility; and
                    (ii) shall analyze the impacts of the 
                transportation of high-level radioactive waste and 
                spent nuclear fuel to the interim storage facility in a 
                generic manner.
            (B) Such Environmental Impact Statement shall not 
        consider--
                    (i) the need for the interim storage facility, 
                including any individual component thereof;
                    (ii) the time of the initial availability of the 
                interim storage facility;
                    (iii) any alternatives to the storage of high-level 
                radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel at the interim 
                storage facility;
                    (iv) any alternatives to the site of the facility 
                as designated by the Corps of Engineers in accordance 
                with subsection (a);
                    (v) any alternatives to the design criteria for 
                such facility or any individual component thereof, as 
                specified by the Corps of Engineers in the license 
                application; or
                    (vi) the environmental impacts of the storage of 
                high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel at 
                the interim storage facility beyond the initial term of 
                the license or the term of the renewal period for which 
                a license renewal application is made.
    (g) Storage of High-Level Radioactive Waste and Spent Nuclear 
Fuel.--The Corps of Engineers shall begin storing high-level 
radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel at the interim storage

Engineers of the Interior, or any Federal agency or officer with 
respect to consideration of applications or requests for the issuance 
or grant of any authorization related to the interim storage facility, 
including the certification of multi-purpose canister systems, shall be 
expedited, and any such application or request shall take precedence 
over any other activity not related to the interim storage facility.
    (h) Judicial Review.--
            (1) The Corps of Engineers' actions under this section, 
        including to the Corps of Engineers' siting and design of the 
        interim storage facility, application for a facility license, 
        issuance of a Safety Analysis Report and Environmental Report, 
        and construction of the facility, shall not be subject to 
        judicial review under any law.
            (2) Judicial review of the Commission's Environmental 
        Impact Statement shall be consolidated with judicial review of 
        the Commission's licensing decision.
            (3) No court shall have jurisdiction to enjoin the 
        construction or operation of the interim storage facility prior 
        to its final decision on review of the Commission's licensing 
        action.
    (i) Waste Confidence.--The Corps of Engineers' obligation to 
construct and operate the interim storage facility in accordance with 
this section and the Corps of Engineers' obligation to develop an 
integrated high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel 
management system in accordance with the provisions of this title, 
shall provide sufficient and independent grounds for any further 
findings by the Commission of reasonable assurance that high-level 
radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive 
waste will be disposed of safely for purposes of the Commission's 
decision to grant or amend any license to operate any civilian nuclear 
power reactor under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2011 et 
seq.).
    (j) Storage of Material Other Than Commercial High-Level 
Radioactive Waste and Spent Nuclear Fuel.--
            (1) Nothing contained in this section shall prohibit--
                    (A) the Commission from establishing criteria for 
                the issuance of an amendment to the interim storage 
                facility license authorizing storage of high-level 
                radioactive waste or spent nuclear fuel from atomic 
                energy defense activities in the interim storage 
                facility; and
                    (B) the Corps of Engineers from seeking a license 
                amendment to allow for the storage of high-level 
                radioactive waste or spent nuclear fuel from atomic 
                energy defense activities at the interim storage 
                facility.
            (2) The acceptance at the interim storage facility of high-
        level radioactive waste or spent nuclear fuel resulting from 
        atomic energy defense activities shall not affect the 
        acceptance of high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear 
        fuel in accordance with the acceptance schedule.

        reserves (as defined in section 7420(2) of title 10, United 
        States Code) by the United States is no longer necessary to 
        promote the national security interests of the United States.
            (2) The sale of the naval petroleum reserves by the United 
        States would eliminate the costs currently incurred by the 
        Secretary of Energy to operate the naval petroleum reserves and 
        would be a source of revenue to reduce the Federal budget 
        deficit.
    (b) Sale Required.--The Secretary of Energy shall sell all right, 
title, and interest of the United States in and to naval petroleum 
reserves. The Secretary shall complete the sale of the naval petroleum 
reserves not later than the end of the ____-year period beginning on

time period if the Secretary notifies Congress before the end of such 
period that, as a result of the condition specified in subsection 
(c)(1), the Secretary will be unable to complete the sale of the naval 
petroleum reserves within such time period.
    (c) Conditions on Sale.--(1) Notwithstanding subsection (b), the 
naval petroleum reserves may not be sold for less than the fair market 
value, as determined by the Secretary of Energy.
    (2) The Secretary of Energy shall conduct sales under subsection 
(b) using competitive procedures. All sales shall be made to the 
highest responsible qualified bidder or bidders, as determined by the 
Secretary. The Secretary may establish such bidding terms and 
conditions as the Secretary considers to be necessary and appropriate, 
including the establishment of sale units and minimum bids.
    (d) Purchaser To Be Held Harmless.--No purchaser under this section 
of any right, title, or interest of the United States in the naval 
petroleum reserves shall be liable for any claim of liability arising 
exclusively from or during the ownership of the interest by the United 
States. Such a claim of liability may be asserted only against the 
United States to the extent and in the manner provided by law.
    (e) Congressional Consultation.--(1) The Secretary of Energy shall 
periodically notify Congress of the progress of the Secretary in 
selling the naval petroleum reserves under this section.
    (2) The Congressional consultation and Presidential approval 
requirements of section 7431(a) of title 10, United States Code, 
regarding each individual sale of a portion of the naval petroleum 
reserves shall not apply to sales under this section.
    (f) Proceeds of Sale.--(1) The Secretary of Energy may use the 
proceeds resulting from sales of the naval petroleum reserves under 
this section to satisfy any contractual obligations of the United 
States directly related to the sales, and to pay any liability of the 
Department of Energy arising under any relevant Federal law concerning 
the environment with respect to the interests sold.
    (2) Funds remaining following operation of paragraph (1) from the 
sales of the naval petroleum reserves shall be deposited into the

timber sale program of that unit exceed the total revenues for the 
program, the Secretary shall immediately terminate the timber sale 
program for that unit and may not enter into any contract for the sale

        the program is to be reinstated.
    ``(d) Effect of Subsequent Determination of Below-Cost Sales.--If,

reinstatement under subsection (c) of a timber sale program for a unit 
of the National Forest System, the Secretary determines pursuant to 
subsection (a) that the total costs for the program exceed the total 
revenues for the program, the Secretary shall immediately terminate the 
timber sale program of that unit of the National Forest System. A 
timber sale program of a unit of the National Forest System terminated 
under this subsection may not be reinstated, and the Secretary shall 
prohibit all further sales of national forest materials from that unit. 
If a timber sale program successfully completes this three-fiscal year 
period without being terminated, the Secretary shall apply the

        authorized programs, and only for the purpose of providing a 
        level of resource protection, visitor facilities, or services 
        for health and safety projects, recurring maintenance 
        activities, or for other routine activities normally funded 
        through annual agency appropriations. Such requests must be in

        delegated his authority under paragraph (1) and the categories 
        of employees of the National Park Service that are authorized 
        to request donations pursuant to paragraph (2). Such 
        regulations shall also set forth any limitations on the types

        sources of those donations.
            (5) Guidelines.--The Secretary shall publish guidelines

        the solicitation or acceptance of contributions of lands, 
        buildings, other property, services, moneys and other gifts or 
        donations authorized by this section would reflect unfavorably 
        upon the ability of the Department of the Interior or any 
        employee to carry out its responsibilities or official duties 
        in a fair and objective manner, or would compromise the 
        integrity or the appearance of the integrity of its programs or 
        any official involved in those programs. The Secretary shall 
        also issue written guidance on the extent of the cooperation

                this section shall authorize Federal hunting or fishing 
                licenses or fees or charges for commercial or other 
                activities not related to recreation, nor shall it 
                affect any rights or authority of the States with 
                respect to fish and wildlife, nor shall it repeal or 
                modify any provision of law that permits States or 
                political subdivisions to share in the revenues from 
                Federal lands or any provision of law that provides 
                that any fees or charges collected at particular 
                Federal areas shall be used for or credited to specific 
                purposes or special funds as authorized by that

SEC. 5201. LIMITATION ON ACQUISITION OF LANDS BY BUREAU OF LAND 
              MANAGEMENT.

    (a) Congressional Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) the Bureau of Land Management presently holds title to 
        1,800,000,000 acres of public land;
            (2) much of this land is marginal in value and left over 
        from the 19th century;
            (3) in many cases, the costs of maintaining and surveying 
        this land far exceed the actual value of these parcels;
            (4) the agency is presently facing a sizable budget backlog 
        which is hampering its ability to properly manage all of this 
        property;
            (5) under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 
        1976, the Bureau is required to identify public lands suitable 
        for sale, exchange, or transfer; and
            (6) the transfer of some of these parcels could effect 
        budget savings and greater management efficiencies for the 
        Bureau.
    (b) Acquisition of Lands by Bureau of Land Management.--
            (1) Prohibition.--Except as provided by subsection (c), 
        amounts appropriated or otherwise made available after the date 
        of the enactment of this Act may not be obligated or expended 
        by the Secretary of the Interior (hereafter in this section 
        referred to as the ``Secretary'') for the acquisition of any 
        lands or interests therein which are to be administered by the 
        Bureau of Land Management.
            (2) Acquisition by donation or exchange or with amounts 
        from fund.--After the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
        Secretary may acquire lands or interests therein for 
        administration by the Bureau of Land Management only by 
        exchange, by donation, or from amounts made available from the 
        Fund pursuant to subsection (c).
    (c) Bureau of Land Management Land Sale and Acquisition Fund.--
            (1) Establishment.--There is established in the Department 
        of the Interior a fund to be known as the ``Bureau of Land 
        Management Land Sale and Acquisition Fund'' (hereafter in this 
        section referred to as the ``Fund'').
            (2) Administration.--The Fund shall be administered by the 
        Secretary.
            (3) Deposits into fund.--There shall be deposited into the 
        Fund--
                    (A) all amounts received by the Secretary from the 
                disposal of any lands or interests therein administered 
                by the Bureau of Land Management; and
                    (B) all amounts received by the United States by 
                gift for acquisition of lands to be administered by the 
                Bureau of Land Management.
            (4) Expenditures from fund.--Amounts may be made available 
        from the Fund, subject to appropriation, for the acquisition of 
        lands or interests therein to be administered by the Bureau of 
        Land Management.
    (d) Information Required To Be Included in Annual Budget Requests 
Relating to Transfer or Disposal of Public Lands.--Each annual budget 
request submitted by the Secretary to the Congress shall be accompanied 
by information as to whether the Bureau of Land Management, through 
preparation of land-use plans pursuant to the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of 1976, has identified public lands which are suitable 
for transfer to other management or for disposal through exchange or 
otherwise, the transfer or disposal of which has been delayed because 
of incomplete surveys or other reasons. If enactment of additional 
legislation would be desirable in order to facilitate the transfer or 
disposal of public lands described in the request, the Secretary may 
include a proposal for such additional legislation in such request.

SEC. 5202. ABOLITION OF BUREAU OF MINES.

as is applicable under section 6621(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code 
of 1986. In the case of an underpayment, interest shall be computed and 
charged only on the amount of the deficiency and not on the total 
amount.
    (2) If there is any underreporting of royalty owed on production 
from a claim for any production month by any person liable for royalty 
payments under this section, the Secretary may assess a penalty of 10 
percent of the amount of that underreporting.
    (3) If there is a substantial underreporting of royalty owed on 
production from a claim for any production month by any person 
responsible for paying the royalty, the Secretary may assess a penalty 
of 10 percent of the amount of that underreporting.
    (4) For the purposes of this subsection, the term ``substantial 
underreporting'' means the difference between the royalty on the value 
of the production which should have been reported and the royalty on 
the value of the production which was reported, if the value which 
should have been reported is greater than the value which was reported. 
An underreporting constitutes a ``substantial underreporting'' if such 
difference exceeds 10 percent of the royalty on the value of production 
which should have been reported.
    (5) The Secretary shall not impose the assessment provided in 
paragraphs (2) or (3) of this subsection if the person liable for 
royalty payments under this section corrects the underreporting before 
the date such person receives notice from the Secretary that an 
underreporting may have occurred, or before 90 days after the date of 
the enactment of this section, whichever is later.
    (6) The Secretary shall waive any portion of an assessment under 
paragraph (2) or (3) of this subsection attributable to that portion of 
the underreporting for which the person responsible for paying the 
royalty demonstrates that--
            (A) such person had written authorization from the 
        Secretary to report royalty on the value of the production on 
        basis on which it was reported,
            (B) such person had substantial authority for reporting 
        royalty on the value of the production on the basis on which it 
        was reported,
            (C) such person previously had notified the Secretary, in 
        such manner as the Secretary may by rule prescribe, of relevant 
        reasons or facts affecting the royalty treatment of specific 
        production which led to the underreporting, or
            (D) such person meets any other exception which the 
        Secretary may, by rule, establish.
    (7) All penalties collected under this subsection shall be 
deposited in the Treasury.
    (h) Effective Date.--The royalty under this section shall take 
effect with respect to the production of locatable minerals after the 
enactment of this Act, but any royalty payments attributable to 
production during the first 12 calendar months after the enactment of 
this Act shall be payable at the expiration of such 12-month period.

involve property upon which there is located a dwelling designed 
principally for occupancy by 1 to 4 families shall be carried out only 
by qualified mortgagees and, to the extent that the Secretary enters

`qualified mortgagee' means a mortgagee approved by the Secretary 
pursuant to this section as having the capability to carry out the 
function of insuring mortgages. In making such determination, the 
Secretary may consider the experience of the mortgagee, the past 
performance of the mortgagee, including the performance of the 
mortgagee under the direct endorsement program, the default rate of

        of this title and such other requirements as may be established

        require the qualified mortgagee approved under this section to 
        indemnify the Secretary for the loss.
            ``(2) Fraud or misrepresentation.--If fraud or 
        misrepresentation was involved in connection with the 
        origination of a mortgage referred to in paragraph (1), the 
        Secretary may require the qualified mortgagee to indemnify the 
        Secretary for the loss regardless of when an insurance claim is 
        paid.
    ``(d) Termination of Mortgagee's Authority.--If a qualified 
mortgagee violates the requirements and procedures established by the 
Secretary pursuant to this section or the Secretary determines that 
other good cause exists, the Secretary may terminate the mortgagee's 
status as a qualified mortgagee by providing notice of the termination 
to the mortgagee. Such a termination shall be effective upon receipt of 
the notice by the mortgagee or at a later date specified in the notice 
by the Secretary. A decision by the Secretary to terminate a 
mortgagee's status as a qualified mortgagee shall be final and 
conclusive and shall not be subject to judicial review.

regulations establishing appropriate requirements and procedures to 
carry out this section, including requirements and procedures governing 
the indemnification of the Secretary by qualified mortgagees.''.

             CHAPTER 1--SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS; AND PURPOSE
SEC. 10101. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Back to Basics Education Reform 
Act''.

SEC. 10102. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Principles of federalism embodied in the Constitution 
        of the United States entrust authority over issues of 
        educational policy to the States and the people and a Federal 
        Department of Education is inconsistent with such principles.
            (2) Tradition and experience dictate that the governance 
        and management of schools in the United States are best 
        performed by parents, teachers and communities.
            (3) The intrusion by the Department of Education into 
        education policy has not benefited the quality of education in 
        this nation.
            (4) The Department of Education has weakened the ability of 
        parents to make essential decisions about their children's 
        education and has undermined the capacity of communities to 
        govern their schools.
            (5) In the 15 years of its existence, the Department of 
        Education has grown from 130 programs and a budget of $14 
        billion to over 240 separately authorized programs which cost 
        almost $32 billion annually. Meanwhile, education performance 
        has stagnated or deteriorated.
            (6) Since 1980, the year the Federal role in education was 
        elevated to department status, the graduation rate has dropped 
        1.3 percent. Only 71.2 percent of students who enroll in the 
        ninth grade now graduate from high school.
            (7) The Department of Education has fostered over-
        regulation, standardization, bureaucratization, and litigation 
        in United States education.
            (8) The Department of Education expends large amounts of 
        money on its own maintenance and overhead. As an organization, 
        it is inefficient, ill-managed, and wasteful.
            (9) Recent tests reflect poor results in mathematics and 
        reading for American students compared with students from other 
        nations.
            (10) Only through initiatives led by parents and local 
        communities with the power to act can the United States elevate 
        educational performance toward an acceptable level.
            (11) The Department of Education has been hostile to many 
        promising reform ideas.

SEC. 10103. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this subtitle are--
            (1) to improve the quality of elementary and secondary and 
        higher education programs in the Nation.
            (2) to return the responsibility and authority for 
        education to parents, teachers, communities, students, and 
        States, and provide them greater control over education 
        spending.
            (3) to ensure that the Federal Government does not 
        overregulate and interfere in the decisionmaking of parents, 
        local communities, teachers, and students regarding education.
            (4) to ensure that Americans are able to compete in the 
        global economy of the 21st century.

SEC. 11101. FEDERALLY-SUPPORTED UNIVERSITY RESEARCH; REDUCTION IN RATES 
              FOR INDIRECT COSTS OF RESEARCH.

    (a) Authority of Federal Agencies Regarding Indirect Costs of 
Supported Research.--In making an award of financial assistance to an 
institution of higher education for a fiscal year for a project of 
research, the head of the Federal agency involved is subject to the 
following:
            (1) The agency head may in accordance with this section 
        authorize the institution to expend a portion of the award for 
        costs that are indirectly related to the conduct of the 
        project, and are appropriate for the institution to maintain 
        the program or programs of which the project is a part (which 
        costs regarding a project of research are referred to in this 
        section as ``indirect costs'').
            (2) The agency head may not make the award for the project 
        unless the institution--
                    (A) agrees that the award will be expended for the 
                indirect costs of the project only in accordance with 
                determinations made under this section by the agency 
                head regarding the project; and
                    (B) certifies to the agency head that each award of 
                financial assistance provided by the agency head to the 
                institution for the immediately preceding fiscal year 
                for a project of research was expended in accordance 
                with the determinations made under this section 
                regarding the project.
    (b) Direct and Indirect Costs as Total Amount of Assistance.--With 
respect to a project of research for which the head of a Federal agency 
is under subsection (a)(1) authorizing an award for a fiscal year to be 
expended for indirect costs, the total amount of the award provided for 
the project for such year shall consist of an amount provided for the 
direct costs of the project, together with the sum of--
            (1) the aggregate amount the agency head determines under 
        subparagraph (A) of subsection (c)(1) for the administrative 
        categories of indirect cost; and
            (2) the aggregate amount the agency head determines under 
        subparagraph (B) of such subsection for the nonadministrative 
        categories of such costs.
    (c) Determination of Amounts for Administrative and 
Nonadministrative Categories.--
            ``(1) In general.--With respect to a project of research 
        for which the head of a Federal agency is under subsection 
        (a)(1) authorizing an award for a fiscal year to be expended 
        for indirect costs, the agency head, after consultation with 
        the institution of higher education involved and after 
        consideration of relevant records and materials, shall make a 
        determination of--
                    ``(A) the amount, expressed as a percentage in 
                accordance with paragraph (2), that is authorized to be 
                expended for the administrative categories of indirect 
                cost (determined individually for each of such 
                categories or determined in the aggregate for the 
                categories); and
                    ``(B) the amount, expressed as a percentage in 
                accordance with paragraph (2), that is authorized to be 
                made for the nonadministrative categories of indirect 
                cost (determined individually for each of such 
                categories or determined in the aggregate for the 
                categories).
            ``(2) Category percentages; modified direct costs.--The 
        amounts determined under subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph 
        (1) for a fiscal year with respect to a project of research 
        shall be determined as a percentage of the modified direct 
        costs of the project. The percentage so determined may not 
        exceed the applicable percentage specified in subsection (d), 
        and shall be in effect only during the fiscal year for which 
        the financial assistance involved is provided.
    (d) General Limitations Regarding Category Percentages.--
            (1) Reduction in rate for administrative categories.--With 
        respect to an award made by the head of a Federal agency to an 
        institution of higher education for a fiscal year
         for a project of research, the percentage determined under 
subsection (c)(2) for the fiscal year for an administrative category of 
indirect costs may not exceed 90 percent of an amount equal to the mean 
average of the percentages applicable to the institution for the 
category for awards by the agency head to the institution for fiscal 
year 1995.
            (2) Reduction in rate for nonad- ministrative categories.--
        With respect to an award made by the head of a Federal agency 
        to an institution of higher education for a fiscal year for a 
        project of research, the percentage determined under subsection 
        (c)(2) for the fiscal year for a nonadministrative category of 
        indirect costs may not exceed 90 percent of an amount equal to 
        the mean average of the percentages applicable to the 
        institution for the category for awards by the agency head to 
        the institution for fiscal year 1995.
    (e) Institution-Specific Uniform Rates Across Awards.--With respect 
to multiple awards made by the head of a Federal agency to an 
institution of higher education for a fiscal year for projects of 
research, the agency head may, for each of the categories of indirect 
costs (administrative and nonadministrative), determine a single 
percentage under subsection (c) that will be applicable to the category 
for all such awards by the agency head to the institution for the 
fiscal year. Any such determination is subject to subsection (d).
    (f) Failure To Comply With Limitation.--In the case of an 
institution of higher education making an agreement under subsection 
(a)(2) regarding expenditures for the indirect costs of a project of 
research, if the head of the Federal agency involved determines that 
the institution has made an expenditure in violation of the agreement, 
the agency head shall recover from the institution an amount equal to 
the amount of the expenditure, together with an amount representing 
interest on the amount of such expenditure.

        the members of the hospital's medical staff, on a pro-rata 
        basis according to the proportion of physicians' services 
        furnished to inpatients of the hospital during the year that

  Subtitle A--Block Grants for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families

SEC. 14100. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) marriage is the foundation of a successful society;
            (2) marriage is an essential social institution which 
        promotes the interests of children and society at large;
            (3) the negative consequences of an out-of-wedlock birth on 
        the child, the mother, and society are well documented as 
        follows:
                    (A) the illegitimacy rate among black Americans was 
                26 percent in 1965, but today the rate is 68 percent 
                and climbing;
                    (B) the illegitimacy rate among white Americans has 
                risen tenfold, from 2.29 percent in 1960 to 22 percent 
                today;
                    (C) the total of all out-of-wedlock births between 
                1970 and 1991 has risen from 10 percent to 30 percent 
                and if the current trend continues, 50 percent of all 
                births by the year 2015 will be out-of-wedlock;
                    (D) \3/4\ of illegitimate births among whites are 
                to women with a high school education or less;
                    (E) the 1-parent family is 6 times more likely to 
                be poor than the 2-parent family;
                    (F) children born into families receiving welfare 
                assistance are 3 times more likely than children not 
                born into families receiving welfare to be on welfare 
                when they reach adulthood;
                    (G) teenage single parent mothering is the single 
                biggest contributor to low birth weight babies;
                    (H) children born out-of-wedlock are more likely to 
                experience low verbal cognitive attainment, child 
                abuse, and neglect;
                    (I) young people from single parent or stepparent 
                families are 2 to 3 times more likely to have emotional 
                or behavioral problems than those from intact families;
                    (J) young white women who were raised in a single 
                parent family are more than twice as likely to have 
                children out-of-wedlock and to become parents as 
                teenagers, and almost twice as likely to have their 
                marriages end in divorce, as are children from 2-parent 
                families;
                    (K) the younger the single parent mother, the less 
                likely she is to finish high school;
                    (L) young women who have children before finishing 
                high school are more likely to receive welfare 
                assistance for a longer period of time;
                    (M) between 1985 and 1990, the public cost of 
                births to teenage mothers under the aid to families 
                with dependent children program, the food stamp 
                program, and the medicaid program has been estimated at 
                $120,000,000,000;
                    (N) the absence of a father in the life of a child 
                has a negative effect on school performance and peer 
                adjustment;
                    (O) the likelihood that a young black man will 
                engage in criminal activities doubles if he is raised 
                without a father and triples if he lives in a 
                neighborhood with a high concentration of single parent 
                families; and
                    (P) the greater the incidence of single parent 
                families in a neighborhood, the higher the incidence of 
                violent crime and burglary; and
            (4) in light of this demonstration of the crisis in our 
        Nation, the reduction of out-of-wedlock births is an important 
        government interest and the policy contained in provisions of 
        this subtitle address the crisis.

SEC. 14205. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING TIMELY ADOPTION OF 
              CHILDREN.

    It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) too many children who wish to be adopted are spending 
        inordinate amounts of time in foster care;
            (2) there is an urgent need for States to increase the 
        number of waiting children being adopted in a timely and lawful 
        manner;
            (3) studies have shown that States spend an excess of 
        $15,000 each year on each special needs child in foster care, 
        and would save significant amounts of money if they offered 
        incentives to families to adopt special needs children;
            (4) States should allocate sufficient funds under this 
        subtitle for adoption assistance and medical assistance to 
        encourage more families to adopt children who otherwise would 
        languish in the foster care system for a period that many 
        experts consider detrimental to their development;
            (5) States should offer incentives for families that adopt 
        special needs children to make adoption more affordable for 
        middle-class families;
            (6) when it is necessary for a State to remove a child from 
        the home of the child's biological parents, the State should 
        strive--
                    (A) to provide the child with a single foster care 
                placement and a single coordinated case team; and
                    (B) to conclude an adoption of the child, when 
                adoption is the goal of the child and the State, within 
                one year of the child's placement in foster care; and
            (7) States should participate in local, regional, or 
        national programs to enable maximum visibility of waiting 
        children to potential parents. Such programs should include a 
        nationwide, interactive computer network to disseminate 
        information on children eligible for adoption to help match 
        them with families around the country.

     Subtitle D--Restricting Welfare and Public Benefits for Aliens
SEC. 14400. STATEMENTS OF NATIONAL POLICY CONCERNING WELFARE AND 
              IMMIGRATION.

    The Congress makes the following statements concerning national 
policy with respect to welfare and immigration:
            (1) Self-sufficiency has been a basic principle of United 
        States immigration law since this country's earliest 
        immigration statutes.
            (2) It continues to be the immigration policy of the United 
        States that--
                    (A) aliens within the nation's borders not depend 
                on public resources to meet their needs, but rather 
                rely on their own capabilities and the resources of 
                their families, their sponsors, and private 
                organizations, and
                    (B) the availability of public benefits not 
                constitute an incentive for immigration to the United 
                States.
            (3) Despite the principle of self-sufficiency, aliens have 
        been applying for and receiving public benefits from Federal, 
        State, and local governments at increasing rates.
            (4) Current eligibility rules for public assistance and 
        unenforceable financial support agreements have proved wholly 
        incapable of assuring that individual aliens not burden the 
        public benefits system.
            (5) It is a compelling government interest to enact new 
        rules for eligibility and sponsorship agreements in order to 
        assure that aliens be self-reliant in accordance with national 
        immigration policy.
            (6) It is a compelling government interest to remove the 
        incentive for illegal immigration provided by the availability 
        of public benefits.

          CHAPTER 1--ELIGIBILITY FOR FEDERAL BENEFITS PROGRAMS

SEC. 14401. INELIGIBILITY OF ILLEGAL ALIENS FOR CERTAIN PUBLIC BENEFITS 
              PROGRAMS.

    (a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law and 
except as provided in subsections (b) and (c), any alien who is not 
lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible for any 
Federal means-tested public benefits program (as defined in section

            (2) meet other domestic obligations;
            (3) meet international market development and food aid

        Agricultural Act of 1949, and the Commodity Credit Corporation 
        Charter Act;

such commodities, to the States for distribution in accordance with 
this chapter.
    (e) During each fiscal year, the types, varieties, and amounts of 
commodities to be purchased under this chapter shall be determined by 
the Secretary. In purchasing such commodities, except those commodities

practicable and appropriate, make purchases based on--
            (1) agricultural market conditions;

        accordance with sections 14516 and 14520;
            (3) set forth the standards of eligibility for recipient 
        agencies; and
            (4) set forth the standards of eligibility for individual

                    (A) individuals or households to be comprised of 
                needy persons; and
                    (B) individual or household members to be residing 
                in the geographic location served by the distributing 
                agency at the time of application for assistance.

State.
    (d) A State agency receiving commodities under this chapter may--
            (1)(A) enter into cooperative agreements with State 
        agencies of other States to jointly provide

includes such States; or
            (B) transfer commodities received under this chapter to any 
        such eligible recipient agency in the other State under such 
        agreement; and
            (2) advise the Secretary of an agreement entered into under 
        this subsection and the transfer of commodities made pursuant 
        to such agreement.

SEC. 14515. ALLOCATION OF COMMODITIES TO STATES.

    (a) In each fiscal year, except for those commodities purchased 
under section 14520, the Secretary shall allocate the commodities 
distributed under this chapter as follows:
            (1) 60 percent of the such total value of commodities shall 
        be allocated in a manner such that the value of commodities 
        allocated to each State bears the same ratio to 60 percent of 
        such total value as the number of persons in households within 
        the State having incomes below the poverty line bears to the 
        total number of persons in households within all States having 
        incomes below such poverty line. Each State shall receive the 
        value of commodities allocated under this paragraph.
            (2) 40 percent of such total value of commodities shall be 
        allocated in a manner such that the value of commodities 
        allocated to each State bears the same ratio to 40 percent of 
        such total value as the average monthly number of unemployed 
        persons within the State bears to the average monthly number of 
        unemployed persons within all States during the same fiscal 
        year. Each State shall receive the value of commodities 
        allocated to the State under this paragraph.
    (b)(1) The Secretary shall notify each State of the amount of 
commodities that such State is allotted to receive under subsection (a) 
or this subsection, if applicable. Each State shall promptly notify the 
Secretary if such State determines that it will not accept any or all 
of the commodities made available under such allocation. On such a 
notification by a State, the Secretary shall reallocate and distribute 
such commodities as the Secretary deems appropriate and equitable. The 
Secretary shall further establish procedures to permit States to 
decline to receive portions of such allocation during each fiscal year 
as the State determines is appropriate and the Secretary shall 
reallocate and distribute such allocation as the Secretary deems 
appropriate and equitable.
    (2) In the event of any drought, flood, hurricane, or other natural 
disaster affecting substantial numbers of persons in a State, county, 
or parish, the Secretary may request that States unaffected by such a 
disaster consider assisting affected States by allowing the Secretary 
to reallocate commodities from such unaffected State to States 
containing areas adversely affected by the disaster.
    (c) Purchases of commodities under this chapter shall be made by 
the Secretary at such times and under such conditions as the Secretary 
determines appropriate within each fiscal year. All commodities so 
purchased for each such fiscal year shall be delivered at reasonable 
intervals to States based on the allocations and reallocations made 
under subsections (a) and (b), and or carry out section 14520, not 
later than December 31 of the following fiscal year.
SEC. 14516. PRIORITY SYSTEM FOR STATE DISTRIBUTION OF COMMODITIES.

    (a) In distributing the commodities allocated under subsections (a) 
and (b) of section 14515, the State agency, under procedures determined 
by the State agency, shall offer, or otherwise make available, its full 
allocation of commodities for distribution to emergency feeding 
organizations.
    (b) If the State agency determines that the State will not exhaust 
the commodities allocated under subsections (a) and (b) of section 
14515 through distribution to organizations referred to in subsection 
(a), its remaining allocation of commodities shall be distributed to 
charitable institutions described in section 14523(3) not receiving 
commodities under subsection (a).
    (c) If the State agency determines that the State will not exhaust 
the commodities allocated under subsections (a) and (b) of section 
14515 through distribution to organizations referred to in subsections 
(a) and (b), its remaining allocation of commodities shall be 
distributed to any eligible recipient agency not receiving commodities 
under subsections (a) and (b).

SEC. 14517. INITIAL PROCESSING COSTS.

    The Secretary may use funds of the Commodity Credit Corporation to 
pay the costs of initial processing and packaging of commodities to be 
distributed under this chapter into forms and in quantities suitable, 
as determined by the Secretary, for use by the individual households or 
eligible recipient agencies, as applicable. The Secretary may pay such 
costs in the form of Corporation-owned commodities equal in value to 
such costs. The Secretary shall ensure that any such payments in kind 
will not displace commercial sales of such commodities.

SEC. 14518. ASSURANCES; ANTICIPATED USE.

    (a) The Secretary shall take such precautions as the Secretary 
deems necessary to ensure that commodities made available under this 
chapter will not displace commercial sales of such commodities or the 
products thereof. The Secretary shall submit to the Committee on 
Agriculture of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate by December 31, 
1997, and not less than every two years thereafter, a report as to 
whether and to what extent such displacements or substitutions are 
occurring.
    (b) The Secretary shall determine that commodities provided under 
this chapter shall be purchased and distributed only in quantities that 
can be consumed without waste. No eligible recipient agency may receive 
commodities under this chapter in excess of anticipated use, based on 
inventory records and controls, or in excess of its ability to accept 
and store such commodities.

SEC. 14519. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

    (a) Purchase of Commodities.--To carry out this chapter there are 
authorized to be appropriated $260,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 
1996 through 2000 to purchase, process, and distribute commodities to 
the States in accordance with this chapter.
    (b) Administrative Funds.--
            (1) There are authorized to be appropriated $40,000,000 for 
        each of the fiscal years 1996 through 2000 for the Secretary to 
        make available to the States for State and local payments for 
        costs associated with the distribution of commodities by 
        eligible recipient agencies under this chapter, excluding costs 
        associated with the distribution of those commodities 
        distributed under section 14520. Funds appropriated under this 
        paragraph for any fiscal year shall be allocated to the States 
        on an advance basis dividing such funds among the States in the 
        same proportions as the commodities distributed under this 
        chapter for such fiscal year are allocated among the States. If 
        a State agency is unable to use all of the funds so allocated 
        to it, the Secretary shall reallocate such unused funds among 
        the other States in a manner the Secretary deems appropriate 
        and equitable.
            (2)(A) A State shall make available in each fiscal year to 
        eligible recipient agencies in the State not less than 40 
        percent of the funds received by the State under paragraph (1) 
        for such fiscal year, as necessary to pay for, or provide 
        advance payments to cover, the allowable expenses of eligible 
        recipient agencies for distributing commodities to needy 
        persons, but only to the extent such expenses are actually so 
        incurred by such recipient agencies.
            (B) As used in this paragraph, the term ``allowable 
        expenses'' includes--
                    (i) costs of transporting, storing, handling, 
                repackaging, processing, and distributing commodities 
                incurred after such commodities are received by 
                eligible recipient agencies;
                    (ii) costs associated with determinations of 
                eligibility, verification, and documentation;
                    (iii) costs of providing information to persons 
                receiving commodities under this chapter concerning the 
                appropriate storage and preparation of such 
                commodities; and
                    (iv) costs of recordkeeping, auditing, and other 
                administrative procedures required for participation in 
                the program under this chapter.
            (C) If a State makes a payment, using State funds, to cover 
        allowable expenses of eligible recipient agencies, the amount 
        of such payment shall be counted toward the amount a State must 
        make available for allowable expenses of recipient agencies 
        under this paragraph.
            (3) States to which funds are allocated for a fiscal year 
        under this subsection shall submit financial reports to the 
        Secretary, on a regular basis, as to the use of such funds. No 
        such funds may be used by States or eligible recipient agencies 
        for costs other than those involved in covering the expenses 
        related to the distribution of commodities by eligible 
        recipient agencies.
            (4)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), to be 
        eligible to receive funds under this subsection, a State shall 
        provide in cash or in kind (according to procedures approved by 
        the Secretary for certifying these in-kind contributions) from 
        non-Federal sources a contribution equal to the difference 
        between--
                    (i) the amount of such funds so received; and
                    (ii) any part of the amount allocated to the State 
                and paid by the State--
                            (I) to eligible recipient agencies; or
                            (II) for the allowable expenses of such 
                        recipient agencies; for use in carrying out 
                        this chapter.
            (B) Funds allocated to a State under this section may, upon 
        State request, be allocated before States satisfy the matching 
        requirement specified in subparagraph (A), based on the 
        estimated contribution required. The Secretary shall 
        periodically reconcile estimated and actual contributions and 
        adjust allocations to the State to correct for overpayments and 
        underpayments.
            (C) Any funds distributed for administrative costs under 
        section 14520(b) shall not be covered by this paragraph.
            (5) States may not charge for commodities made available to 
        eligible recipient agencies, and may not pass on to such 
        recipient agencies the cost of any matching requirements, under 
        this chapter.
    (c) The value of the commodities made available under subsections 
(c) and (d) of section 14512, and the funds of the Commodity Credit 
Corporation used to pay the costs of initial processing, packaging 
(including forms suitable for home use), and delivering commodities to 
the States shall not be charged against appropriations authorized by 
this section.

SEC. 14520. COMMODITY SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD PROGRAM.

    (a) From the funds appropriated under section 14519(a), $94,500,000 
shall be used for each fiscal year to purchase and distribute 
commodities to supplemental feeding programs serving woman, infants, 
and children or elderly individuals (hereinafter in this section 
referred to as the ``commodity supplemental food program''), or serving 
both groups wherever located.
    (b) Not more than 20 percent of the funds made available under 
subsection (a) shall be made available to the States for State and 
local payments of administrative costs associated with the distribution 
of commodities by eligible recipient agencies under this section. 
Administrative costs for the purposes of the commodity supplemental 
food program shall include, but not be limited to, expenses for 
information and referral, operation, monitoring, nutrition education, 
start-up costs, and general administration, including staff, warehouse 
and transportation personnel, insurance, and administration of the 
State or local office.
    (c)(1) During each fiscal year the commodity supplemental food 
program is in operation, the types, varieties, and amounts of 
commodities to be purchased under this section shall be determined by 
the Secretary, but, if the Secretary proposes to make any significant 
changes in the types, varieties, or amounts from those that were 
available or were planned at the beginning of the fiscal year the 
Secretary shall report such changes before implementation to the 
Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives and the 
Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate.
    (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Commodity 
Credit Corporation shall, to the extent that the Commodity Credit 
Corporation inventory levels permit, provide not less than 9,000,000 
pounds of cheese and not less than 4,000,000 pounds of nonfat dry milk 
in each of the fiscal years 1996 through 2000 to the Secretary. The 
Secretary shall use such amounts of cheese and nonfat dry milk to carry 
out the commodity supplemental food program before the end of each 
fiscal year.
    (d) The Secretary shall, in each fiscal year, approve applications 
of additional sites for the program, including sites that serve only 
elderly persons, in areas in which the program currently does not 
operate, to the full extent that applications can be approved within 
the appropriations available for the program for the fiscal year and 
without reducing actual participation levels (including participation 
of elderly persons under subsection (e)) in areas in which the program 
is in effect.
    (e) If a local agency that administers the commodity supplemental 
food program determines that the amount of funds made available to the 
agency to carry out this section exceeds the amount of funds necessary 
to provide assistance under such program to women, infants, and 
children, the agency, with the approval of the Secretary, may permit 
low-income elderly persons (as defined by the Secretary) to participate 
in and be served by such program.
    (f)(1) If it is necessary for the Secretary to pay a significantly 
higher than expected price for one or more types of commodities 
purchased under this section, the Secretary shall promptly determine 
whether the price is likely to cause the number of persons that can be 
served in the program in a fiscal year to decline.
    (2) If the Secretary determines that such a decline would occur, 
the Secretary shall promptly notify the State agencies charged with 
operating the program of the decline and shall ensure that a State 
agency notify all local agencies operating the program in the State of 
the decline.
    (g) Commodities distributed to States pursuant to this section 
shall not be considered in determining the commodity allocation to each 
State under section 14515 or priority of distribution under section 
14516.

under this chapter by the Secretary for distribution within the States 
to eligible recipient agencies, the State may not charge recipient

storing, and transporting to recipient agencies the commodities minus 
any amount the Secretary provides the State for the costs of storing 
and transporting such commodities.

(1) Regulations issued pursuant to this section shall provide for the

            (A) The nature and extent of the food business conducted by 
        the applicant.
            (B) The volume of coupon business which may reasonably be 
        expected to be conducted by the applicant food store or

penalty imposed on such store or concern.
    (3) Regulations issued pursuant to this section shall require an 
applicant retail food store or wholesale food concern to submit 
information which will permit a determination to be made as to whether 
such applicant qualifies, or continues to qualify, for approval under 
this section or the regulations issued pursuant to this section. 
Regulations issued pursuant to this section shall provide for 
safeguards which limit the use or disclosure of information obtained 
under the authority granted by this subsection to purposes directly 
connected with administration and enforcement of this section or the 
regulations issued pursuant to this section, except that such 
information may be disclosed to and used by States that purchase such 
coupons.
    (4) Any retail food store or wholesale food concern which has 
failed upon application to receive approval to participate in the 
program under this sectionmay obtain a hearing on such refusal as 
provided in subsection (f).
    (c) Redemption of Coupons.--Regulations issued under this section 
shall provide for the redemption of coupons accepted by retail food 
stores through approved wholesale food concerns or through financial 
institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corporation, or which are insured under the Federal Credit Union Act 
(12 U.S.C. 1751 et seq.) and have retail food stores or wholesale food 
concerns in their field of membership, with the cooperation of the 
Treasury Department, except that retail food stores defined in section 
14533(5)(D) shall be authorized to redeem their members' food coupons 
prior to receipt by the members of the food so purchased, and publicly 
operated community mental health centers or private nonprofit 
organizations or institutions which serve meals to narcotics addicts or

institution in a manner consistent with the requirements, other than 
any requirements relating to cancellation of coupons, for the 
presentation of coupons by financial institutions to the Federal 
Reserve banks.

or wholesale food concern may be disqualified for a specified period of 
time from further participation in the coupon program under this 
section, or subjected to a civil money penalty of up to $10,000 for

made as specified in the regulations, that such store or concern has 
violated this section or the regulations issued pursuant to this 
section.
    (2) Disqualification under paragraph (1) shall be--
            (A) for a reasonable period of time, of no less than 6 
        months nor more than 5 years, upon the first occasion of

        months nor more than 10 years, upon the second occasion of 
        disqualification, and
            (C) permanent upon--
                    (i) the third occasion of disqualification,
                    (ii) the first occasion or any subsequent occasion 
                of a disqualification based on the purchase of coupons 
                or trafficking in coupons by a retail food store or 
                wholesale food concern, except that the Secretary shall 
                have the discretion to impose a civil money penalty of 
                up to $20,000 for each violation (except that the 
                amount of civil money penalties imposed for violations 
                occurring during a single investigation may not exceed 
                $40,000) in lieu of disqualification under this 
                subparagraph, for such purchase of coupons or 
                trafficking in coupons that constitutes a violation of 
                this section or the regulations issued pursuant to this 
                section, if the Secretary determines that there is 
                substantial evidence (including evidence that neither 
                the ownership nor management of the store or food 
                concern was aware of, approved, benefited from, or was 
                involved in the conduct or approval of the violation) 
                that such store or food concern had an effective policy 
                and program in effect to prevent violations of this 
                section and such regulations, or
                    (iii) a finding of the sale of firearms, 
                ammunition, explosives, or controlled substance (as 
                defined in section 802 of title 21, United States Code) 
                for coupons, except that the Secretary shall have the 
                discretion to impose a civil money penalty of up to 
                $20,000 for each violation (except that the amount of 
                civil money penalties imposed for violations occurring 
                during a single investigation may not exceed $40,000) 
                in lieu of disqualification under this subparagraph if 
                the Secretary determines that there is substantial 
                evidence (including evidence that neither the ownership 
                nor management of the store or food concern was aware 
                of, approved, benefited from, or was involved in the 
                conduct or approval of the violation) that the store or 
                food concern had an effective policy and program in 
                effect to prevent violations of this section.
    (3) The action of disqualification or the imposition of a civil 
money penalty shall be subject to review as provided in subsection (f).
    (4) As a condition of authorization to accept and redeem coupons 
issued under subsection (a), the Secretary may require a retail food 
store or wholesale food concern which has been disqualified or 
subjected to a civil penalty
 pursuant to paragraph (1) to furnish a bond to cover the value of 
coupons which such store or concern may in the future accept and redeem 
in violation of this section. The Secretary shall, by regulation, 
prescribe the amount, terms, and conditions of such bond. If the 
Secretary finds that such store or concern has accepted and redeemed 
coupons in violation of this section after furnishing such bond, such 
store or concern shall forfeit to the Secretary an amount of such bond 
which is equal to the value of coupons accepted and redeemed by such 
store or concern in violation of this section. Such store or concern 
may obtain a hearing on such forfeiture pursuant to subsection (f).
    (5)(A) In the event any retail food store or wholesale food concern 
that has been disqualified under paragraph (1) is sold or the ownership 
thereof is otherwise transferred to a purchaser or transferee, the 
person or persons who sell or otherwise transfer ownership of the 
retail food store or wholesale food concern shall be subjected to a 
civil money penalty in an amount established by the Secretary through 
regulations to reflect that portion of the disqualification period that 
has not yet expired. If the retail food store or wholesale food concern 
has been disqualified permanently, the civil money penalty shall be 
double the penalty for a 10-year disqualification period, as calculated 
under regulations issued by the Secretary. The disqualification period 
imposed under paragraph (2) shall continue in effect as to the person 
or persons who sell or otherwise transfer ownership of the retail food 
store or wholesale food concern notwithstanding the imposition of a 
civil money penalty under this paragraph.
    (B) At any time after a civil money penalty imposed under 
subparagraph (A) has become final under subsection (f)(1), the 
Secretary may request the Attorney General of the United States to 
institute a civil action against the person or persons subject to the 
penalty in a district court of the United States for any district in 
which such person or persons are found, reside, or transact business to 
collect the penalty and such court shall have jurisdiction to hear and 
decide such action. In such action, the validity and amount of such 
penalty shall not be subject to review.
    (C) The Secretary may impose a fine against any retail food store 
or wholesale food concern that accepts coupons that are not accompanied 
by the corresponding book cover, other than the denomination of coupons 
used for making change as specified in regulations issued under this 
section. The amount of any such fine shall be established by the 
Secretary and may be assessed and collected separately in accordance 
with regulations issued under this section or in combination with any 
fiscal claim established by the Secretary. The Attorney General of the 
United States may institute judicial action in any court of competent 
jurisdiction against the store or concern to collect the fine.
    (6) The Secretary may impose a fine against any person not approved 
by the Secretary to accept and redeem coupons who violates this section 
or a regulation issued under this section, including violations 
concerning the acceptance of coupons. The amount of any such fine shall 
be established by the Secretary and may be assessed and collected in 
accordance with regulations issued under this section separately or in 
combination with any fiscal claim established by the Secretary. The 
Attorney General of the United States may institute judicial action in 
any court of competent jurisdiction against the person to collect the 
fine.
    (e) Collection and Disposition of Claims.--The Secretary shall have 
the power to determine the amount of and settle and adjust any claim 
and to compromise or deny all or part of any such claim or claims 
arising under this section or the regulations issued pursuant to this 
section, including, but not limited to, claims arising from fraudulent 
and nonfraudulent overissuances to recipients, including the power to 
waive claims if the Secretary determines that to do so would serve the 
purposes of this section. Such powers with respect to claims against 
recipients may be delegated by the Secretary to State agencies.
    (f) Administrative and Judicial Review.--(1) Whenever--
            (A) an application of a retail food store or wholesale food 
        concern for approval to accept and redeem coupons issued under 
        subsection (a) is denied pursuant to this section,
            (B) a retail food store or wholesale food concern is 
        disqualified or subjected to a civil money penalty under 
        subsection (d),
            (C) all or part of any claim of a retail food store or 
        wholesale food concern is denied under subsection (e), or
            (D) a claim against a State is stated pursuant to 
        subsection (e),
notice of such administrative action shall be issued to the retail food 
store, wholesale food concern, or State involved. Such notice shall be 
delivered by certified mail or personal service. If such store, 
concern, or State is aggrieved by such action, it may, in accordance 
with regulations promulgated under this section, within 10 days of the 
date of delivery of such notice, file a written request for an 
opportunity to submit information in support of its position to such 
person or persons as the regulations may designate. If such a request 
is not made or if such store, concern, or State fails to submit 
information in support of its position after filing a request, the 
administrative determination shall be final. If such request is made by 
such store, concern, or State such information as may be submitted by 
such store, concern, or State as well as such other information as may 
be available, shall be reviewed by the person or persons designated by 
the Secretary, who shall, subject to the right of judicial review 
hereinafter provided, make a determination which shall be final and 
which shall take effect 30 days after the date of the delivery or 
service of such final notice of determination. If such store, concern, 
or State feels aggrieved by such final determination, it may obtain 
judicial review thereof by filing a complaint against the United States 
in the United States court for the district in which it resides or is 
engaged in business, or, in the case of a retail food store or 
wholesale food concern, in any court of record of the State having 
competent jurisdiction, within 30 days after the date of delivery or 
service of the final notice of determination upon it, requesting the 
court to set aside such determination. The copy of the summons and 
complaint required to be delivered to the official or agency whose 
order is being attacked shall be sent to the Secretary or such person 
or persons as the Secretary may designate
 to receive service of process. The suit in the United States district 
court or State court shall be a trial de novo by the court in which the 
court shall determine the validity of the questioned administrative 
action in issue. If the court determines that such administrative 
action is invalid, it shall enter such judgment or order as it 
determines is in accordance with the law and the evidence. During the 
pendency of such judicial review, or any appeal therefrom, the 
administrative action under review shall be and remain in full force 
and effect, unless on application to the court on not less than ten 
days' notice, and after hearing thereon and a consideration by the 
court of the applicant's likelihood of prevailing on the merits and of 
irreparable injury, the court temporarily stays such administrative 
action pending disposition of such trial or appeal.
    (g) Violations and Enforcement.--(1) Subject to paragraph (2), 
whoever knowingly uses, transfers, acquires, alters, or possesses 
coupons in any manner contrary to this section or the regulations 
issued pursuant to this section shall, if such coupons are of a value 
of $5,000 or more, be guilty of a felony and shall be fined not more 
than $250,000 or imprisoned for not more than 20 years, or both, and 
shall, if such coupons are of a value of $100 or more, but less than 
$5,000, be guilty of a felony and shall, upon the first conviction 
thereof, be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than 
5 years, or both, and, upon the second and any subsequent conviction 
thereof, shall be imprisoned for not less than 6 months nor more than 5 
years and may also be fined not more than $10,000 or, if such coupons 
are of a value of less than $100, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, 
and, upon the first conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than 
$1,000 or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both, and upon the 
second and any subsequent conviction thereof, shall be imprisoned for 
not more than one year and may also be fined not more than $1,000.
    (2) In the case of any individual convicted of an offense under 
paragraph (1), the court may permit such individual to perform work 
approved by the court for the purpose of providing restitution for 
losses incurred by the United States and the State as a result of the 
offense for which such individual was convicted. If the court permits 
such individual to perform such work and such individual agrees 
thereto, the court shall withhold the imposition of the sentence on the 
condition that such individual perform the assigned work. Upon the 
successful completion of the assigned work the court may suspend such 
sentence.
    (3) Whoever presents, or causes to be presented, coupons for 
payment or redemption of the value of $100 or more, knowing the same to 
have been received, transferred, or used in any manner in violation of 
this section or the regulations issued under this section, shall be 
guilty of a felony and, upon the first conviction thereof, shall be 
fined not more than $20,000 or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or 
both, and, upon the second and any subsequent conviction thereof, shall 
be imprisoned for not less than one year nor more than 5 years and may 
also be fined not more than $20,000, or, if such coupons are of a value 
of less than $100, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon the first 
conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned 
for not more than one year, or both, and, upon the second and any 
subsequent conviction thereof, shall be imprisoned for not more than 
one year and may also be fined not more than $1,000.

    ``(iv) In the case of an individual who has attained 18 years of 
age and for whom a determination has been made of eligibility for a 
benefit under this title by reason of disability, the following 
applies:
            ``(I) Subject to the provisions of this clause, the 
        determination of eligibility is effective for the 3-year period 
        beginning on the date of the determination, and the eligibility 
        of the individual lapses unless a determination of continuing 
        eligibility is made before the end of such period, and before 
        the end of each subsequent 3-year period. This subclause ceases 
        to apply to the individual upon the individual attaining 65 
        years of age. This subclause does not apply to the individual 
        if the individual has an impairment that is not expected to 
        improve (or a combination of impairments that are not expected 
        to improve).
            ``(II) With respect to a determination under subclause (I) 
        of whether the individual continues to be eligible for the 
        benefit (in this clause referred to as a `redetermination'), 
        the Commissioner may not make the redetermination unless the 
        individual submits to the Commissioner an application 
        requesting the redetermination. If such an application is 
        submitted, the Commissioner shall make the redetermination. 
        This subclause is subject to subclause (V).
            ``(III) If as of the date on which this clause takes effect 
        the individual has been receiving the benefit for three years 
        or less, the first period under subclause (I) for the 
        individual is deemed to end on the expiration of the period 
        beginning on the date on which this clause takes effect and 
        continuing through a number of months equal to 12 plus a number 
        equal to 36 minus the number of months the individual has been 
        receiving the benefit.
            ``(IV) If as of the date on which this clause takes effect 
        the individual has been receiving the benefit for five years or 
        less, but for more than three years, the first period under 
        subclause (I) for the individual is deemed to end on the 
        expiration of the 1-year period beginning on the date on which 
        this clause takes effect.
            ``(V) If as of the date on which this clause takes effect 
        the individual has been receiving the benefit for more than 
        five years, the Commissioner shall make redeterminations under 
        subclause (I) and may not require the individual to submit 
        applications for the redeterminations. The first 3-year period 
        under subclause (I) for the individual is deemed to begin upon 
        the expiration of the period beginning on the date on which 
        this clause takes effect and ending upon the termination of a 
        number of years equal to the lowest number (greater than zero) 
        that can be obtained by subtracting the number of years that 
        the individual has been receiving the benefit from a number 
        that is a multiple of three.
            ``(VI) If the individual first attains 18 years of age on 
        or after the date on which this clause takes effect, the first 
        3-year period under subclause (I) for the individual is deemed 
        to end on the date on which the individual attains such age.
            ``(VII) Not later than one year prior to the date on which 
        a determination under subclause (I) expires, the Commissioner 
        shall (except in the case of an individual to whom subclause 
        (V) applies) provide to the individual a written notice 
        explaining the applicability of this clause to the individual, 
        including an explanation of the effect of failing to submit the 
        application. If the individual submits the application not 
        later than 180 days prior to such date and the Commissioner 
        does not make the redetermination before such date, the 
        Commissioner shall continue to provide the benefit pending the 
        redetermination and shall publish in the Federal Register a 
        notice that the Commissioner was unable to make the 
        redetermination by such date.
            ``(VIII) If the individual fails to submit the application 
        under subclause (II) by the end of the applicable period under 
        subclause (I), the individual may apply for a redetermination. 
        The Commissioner shall make the redetermination for the 
        individual only after making redeterminations for individuals 
        for whom eligibility has not lapsed pursuant to subclause 
        (I).''.

effect upon the expiration of the 9-month period beginning on the date
