                surplus property only after public advertising for 
                bids, under regulations the Administrator prescribes.
                  (B) Exceptions.--This subsection does not apply to 
                disposal or a contract for disposal of surplus

          (2) Time, method, and terms.--The time, method, and terms and 
        conditions of advertisement must permit full and free 
        competition consistent with the value and nature of the

        conforming to the invitation for bids, is most advantageous to

        However, all bids may be rejected if it is in the public 
        interest to do so.
  (b) Negotiated Disposal.--Under regulations the Administrator 
prescribes, disposals and contracts for disposal may be negotiated 
without regardto subsection (a), but subject to obtaining competition 
that is feasible under the circumstances, if--

                  (A) during the period of a national emergency 
                declared by the President or Congress, with respect to 
                a particular lot of personal property; or
                  (B) for a period not exceeding three months, with 
                respect to a specifically described category of

        promoted by a particular disposal of personal property;
          (3) public exigency will not allow delay incident to

          (4) the nature and quantity of personal property involved are 
        such that disposal under subsection (a) would impact an 
        industry to an extent that would adversely affect the national

        and other satisfactory terms of disposal can be obtained by 
        negotiation;

        does not exceed $15,000;
          (6) after advertising under subsection (a), the bid prices 
        for the property, or part of the property, are not reasonable 
        or have not been independently arrived at in open competition;
          (7) with respect to real property, the character or condition 
        of the property or unusual circumstances make it impractical to 
        advertise publicly for competitive bids and the fair market 
        value of the property and other satisfactory terms of disposal 
        can be obtained by negotiation;
          (8) the disposal will be to a State, territory, or possession 
        of the United States, or to a political subdivision of, or a 
        tax-supported agency in, a State, territory, or possession, and

disposal.

        sale of personal property at a fixed price, either directly or 
        through the use of a disposal contractor, without regard to 
        subsection (a). However, the sale must be publicized to an 
        extent consistent with the value and nature of the property 
        involved and the price established must reflect the estimated 
        fair market value of the property. Sales under this subsection 
        are limited to categories of personal property for which the 
        Administrator determines that disposal under this subsection 
        best serves the interests of the Government.

                (1) is any personal property that--
                          (i) is under the control of an executive 
                        agency; and
                          (ii) has been determined to be surplus 
                        property.
                  (B) Special rule.--In determining whether the 
                property is to be transferred for donation under this

                capitalized in a working-capital fund established under

        consideration, consistent with the established criteria, to an 
        expression of need and interest from a public agency or other

                development, education, parks and recreation, public 
                health, and public safety; or

                          (iii) a school, college, or university;
                          (iv) a school for the mentally retarded or 
                        physically handicapped;

        including maritime academies, or military, naval, Air Force, or 
        Coast Guard preparatory schools.
          (2) Property usable for special interest activities.--If the 
        Secretary of Defense determines that the property is usable and 
        necessary for educational activities which are of special 
        interest to the armed services, the Secretary shall allocate 
        the property for transfer by the Administrator to the 
        appropriate state agency for distribution through donation to 
        the educational activities.
          (3) Property not usable for special interest activities.--If

                Administrator may consult with interested federal 
                agencies to obtain their views concerning the 
                administration and operation of this section.
                  (B) Publication and period for comment.--The state 
                plan of operation, and any major amendment to the plan, 
                may not be filed with the Administrator until 60 days 
                after general notice of the proposed plan or amendment 
                has been published and interested persons have been 
                given at least 30 days to submit comments.
                  (C) Certification.--The chief executive officer of 
                the State shall certify and submit the state plan of 
                operation to the Administrator.
          (3) Requirements.--
                  (A) State agency.--The state plan of operation shall 
                include adequate assurance that the state agency has--
                          (i) the necessary organizational and 
                        operational authority and capability including 
                        staff, facilities, and means and methods of 
                        financing; and
                          (ii) established procedures for 
                        accountability, internal and external audits, 
                        cooperative agreements, compliance and use 
                        reviews, equitable distribution and property 
                        disposal, determination of eligibility, and 
                        assistance through consultation with advisory 
                        bodies and public and private groups.
                  (B) Equitable distribution.--The state plan of 
                operation shall provide for fair and equitable 
                distribution of property in the State based on the 
                relative needs and resources of interested public 
                agencies and other eligible institutions in the State 
                and their abilities to use the property.
                  (C) Management control and accounting systems.--The 
                state plan of operation shall require, for donable 
                property transferred under this section, that the state 
                agency use management control and accounting systems of 
                the same type as systems required by state law for 
                state-owned property. However, with approval from the 
                chief executive officer of the State, the state agency 
                may elect to use other management control and 
                accounting systems that are effective to govern the 
                use, inventory control, accountability, and disposal of 
                property under this section.
                  (D) Return and redistribution for non-use.--The state 
                plan of operation shall require the state agency to 
                provide for the return and redistribution of donable 
                property if the property, while still usable, has not 
                been placed in use for the purpose for which it was 
                donated within one year of donation or ceases to be 
                used by the donee for that purpose within one year of 
                being placed in use.
                  (E) Request by recipient.--The state plan of 
                operation shall require the state agency, to the extent 
                practicable, to select property requested by a public 
                agency or other eligible institution in the State and, 
                if requested by the recipient, to arrange shipment of 
                the property directly to the recipient.
                  (F) Service charges.--If the state agency is 
                authorized to assess and collect service charges from 
                participating recipients to cover direct and reasonable 
                indirect costs of its activities, the method of 
                establishing the charges shall be set out in the state 
                plan of operation. The charges shall be fair and 
                equitable and shall be based on services the state 
                agency performs, including screening, packing, crating, 
                removal, and transportation.
                  (G) Terms, conditions, reservations, and 
                restrictions.--
                          (i) In general.--The state plan of operation 
                        shall provide that the state agency--
                                  (I) may impose reasonable terms, 
                                conditions, reservations, and 
                                restrictions on the use of property to 
                                be donated under subsection (c); and
                                  (II) shall impose reasonable terms, 
                                conditions, reservations, and 
                                restrictions on the use of a passenger 
                                motor vehicle and any item of property 
                                having a unit acquisition cost of 
                                $5,000 or more.
                          (ii) Special limitations.--If the 
                        Administrator finds that an item has 
                        characteristics that require special handling 
                        or use limitations, the Administrator may 
                        impose appropriate conditions on the donation 
                        of the property.
                  (H) Unusable property.--
                          (i) Disposal.--The state plan of operation 
                        shall provide that surplus personal property 
                        which the state agency determines cannot be 
                        used by eligible recipients shall be disposed 
                        of--
                                  (I) subject to the disapproval of the 
                                Administrator within 30 days after 
                                notice to the Administrator, through 
                                transfer by the state agency to another 
                                state agency or through abandonment or 
                                destruction if the property has no 
                                commercial value or if the estimated 
                                cost of continued care and handling 
                                exceeds estimated proceeds from sale; 
                                or
                                  (II) under this subtitle, on terms 
                                and conditions and in a manner the 
                                Administrator prescribes.

          (2) In general.--The net proceeds of a disposition or 
        transfer of property described in paragraph (1) shall be--
                  (A) credited to the applicable reimbursable fund or 
                appropriation; or
                  (B) paid to the federal agency that determined the 
                property to be excess.
          (3) Calculation of net proceeds.--For purposes of this

        property are the proceeds less all expenses incurred for the 
        disposition or transfer, including care and handling.
          (4) Alternative credit to miscellaneous receipts.--If the 
        agency that determined the property to be excess decides that

        receipts.
  (b) Special Account for Refunds or Payments for Breach.--
          (1) Deposits.--A federal agency that disposes of surplus

                  (A) appropriate refunds to purchasers for 
                dispositions that are rescinded or that do not become 
                final; and

          (2) Withdrawals.--A federal agency that deposits proceeds in 
        a special account under paragraph (1) may withdraw amounts to 
        be refunded or paid from the account without regard to the 
        origin of the amounts withdrawn.
  (c) Credit to Cost of Contractor's Work.--If a contract made by an 
executive agency, or a subcontract under that contract, authorizes the 
proceeds of a sale of property in the custody of a contractor or 
subcontractor to be credited to the price or cost of work covered by 
the contract or subcontract, then the proceeds of the sale shall be 
credited in accordance with the contract or subcontract.
  (d) Acceptance of Property Instead of Cash.--An executive agency 
entitled to receive cash under a contract for the lease, sale, or other 
disposition of surplus property may accept property instead of cash if 
the President determines that the property is strategic or critical 
material. The property is valued at the prevailing market price when 
the cash payment becomes due.
  (e) Management of Credit, Leases, and Permits.--For a disposition of 
surplus property under this chapter, if credit has been extended, or if 
the disposition has been by lease or permit, the Administrator of 
General Services, in a manner and on terms the Administrator determines 
are in the best interest of the Federal Government--

        and any security for the credit, lease, or permit; and
          (2) may enforce, adjust, and settle any right of the

        services are performed;
          (2) purchase, repair, and clean uniforms for civilian 
        employees of the General Services Administration who are 
        required by law or regulation to wear uniform clothing; and
          (3) furnish arms and ammunition for the protection force the 
        Administration maintains.
  (c) Acquisition and Management of Property.--

        buildings owned by the Federal Government or occupied by 
        federal agencies, and pay the rent in advance if required by

        in the public interest.
          (3) Rent and repairs under a lease.--The Administrator may 
        pay rent and make repairs, alterations, and improvements under

          (4) Repairs that are economically advantageous.--The 
        Administrator may repair, alter, or improve rented premises if 
        the Administrator determines that doing so is advantageous to 
        the Government in terms of economy, efficiency, or national 
        security. The Administrator's determination must--
                  (A) set forth the circumstances that make the repair, 
                alteration, or improvement advantageous; and
                  (B) show that the total cost (rental, repair, 
                alteration, and improvement) for the expected life of

                  (C) may sell the property at public sale to the 
                highest responsible bidder on terms and after public 
                advertisement that the Administrator considers to be in 
                the public interest.
          (2) Review of decision to assign space.--If the federal 
        agency to which space is assigned does not desire to occupy the 
        space, the decision of the Administrator under paragraph (1)(A) 
        is subject to review by the President.
          (3) Negotiated sale.--If no bids which are satisfactory as to 
        price and responsibility of the bidder are received as a result 
        of public advertisement, the Administrator may sell the 
        property by negotiation, on terms as may be considered to be to 
        the best interest of the Government, but at a price not less 
        than that bid by the highest responsible bidder.
  (c) Demolition.--The Administrator may demolish any building declared 
to be surplus to the needs of the Government under this section on 
deciding that demolition will be in the best interest of the

Administrator's intention to demolish the building, and shall not 
proceed with the demolition until receiving written notice from the 
Secretary that the building is not an historic building of national 
significance within the meaning of the Act of August 21, 1935 (16 
U.S.C. 461 et seq.) (known as the Historic Sites, Buildings, and 
Antiquities Act). If the Secretary does not notify the Administrator of 
the Secretary's decision as to whether the building is an historic 
building of national significance within 90 days of the receipt of the 
notice of intention to demolish the building, the Administrator may 
proceed to demolish the building.
  (d) Repairs and Alterations to Assigned Real Property.--When the 
Administrator, after investigation, decides that real property referred 
to in subsection (b) should be used for the accommodation of a federal 
agency, the Administrator may make any repairs or alterations that the 
Administrator considers necessary or advisable and may maintain and 
operate the property.
  (e) Payment by Federal Agencies.--
          (1) Assigned real property.--To the extent that the 
        appropriations of the General Services Administration not 
        otherwise allocated are inadequate for repairs, alterations, 
        maintenance, or operation, the Administrator may require each 
        federal agency to which space has been assigned to pay promptly 
        by check to the Administrator out of its appropriation for rent 
        any part of the estimated or actual cost of the repairs, 
        alterations, maintenance, and operation. Payment may be either 
        in advance of, or on or during, occupancy of the space. The 
        Administrator shall determine and equitably apportion the total 
        amount to be paid among the agencies to whom space has been 
        assigned.
          (2) Leased spaces.--To the extent that the appropriations of 
        the Administration not otherwise required are inadequate, the 
        Administrator may require each federal agency to which leased 
        space has been assigned to pay promptly by check to the 
        Administrator out of its available appropriations any part of 
        the estimated cost of rent, repairs, alterations, maintenance, 
        operation, and moving. Payment may be either in advance or 
        during occupancy of the space. When space in a building is 
        occupied by two or more agencies, the Administrator shall 
        determine and equitably apportion rental, operation, and other 
        charges on the basis of the total amount of space leased.
  (f) Authorization of Appropriations.--Necessary amounts may be 
appropriated to cover the costs incident to the sale or lease of real 
property, or authorized demolition of buildings on the property, 
declared to be surplus to the needs of any federal agency under this 
section, and the care, maintenance, and protection of the property, 
including pay of employees, travel of Government employees, brokers' 
fees not in excess of rates paid for similar services in the community 
where the property is situated, appraisals, photographs, surveys, 
evidence of title and perfecting of defective titles, advertising, and 
telephone and telegraph charges. However, the agency remains 
responsible for the proper care, maintenance, and protection of the 
property until the Administrator assumes custody or other disposition 
of the property is made.

necessary to carry out this section.

        returned to any claimant.
          (2) Agency does not desire to retain property.--If the agency

                seized the property files a request for the property 
                under paragraph (1), the Administrator shall apply to

                the court to order delivery of the property to the 
                requesting agency if the Administrator believes that 
                the requesting agency should be given the property.
                  (D) Delivery to seizing agency for temporary 
                holding.--If application to the court cannot be made 
                under subparagraph (B) or (C) and the Administrator 
                believes the property may later become necessary to any 
                agency for official use, the Administrator shall apply 
                to the court to order delivery of the property to the 
                agency that seized the property, to be retained in its 
                custody. Within a reasonable time, the Administrator

                        that requests the property and that the 
                        Administrator believes should be given the 
                        property; or
                          (ii) dispose of the property as otherwise 
                        provided by law.

          (1) Person asserting claim entitled to benefits.--In a 
        judicial proceeding under the laws of a State, district, 
        territory, or possession of the United States, when property 
        owned or held by the Federal Government, or in which the 
        Government has or claims an interest, is seized, arrested, 
        attached, or held for the security or satisfaction of a claim 
        made against the property, the Attorney General may direct the 
        United States Attorney for the district in which the property 
        is located to enter a stipulation that on discharge of the 
        property from the seizure, arrest, attachment, or proceeding, 
        the person asserting the claim against the property becomes 
        entitled to all the benefits of this section.

                  (B) waive an objection to a proceeding brought to 
                enforce the claim.
  (b) Payment.--After a discharge, a final judgment which affirms the 
claim for the security or satisfaction and the right of the person 
asserting the claim to enforce it against the property, notwithstanding 
the claims of the Government, is deemed to be a full and final 
determination of the rights of the person and entitles the person, as 
against the Government, to the rights the person would have had if 
possession of the property had not been changed. When the claim is for 
the payment of money found to be due, presentation of an authenticated 
copy of the record of the judgment and proceedings is sufficient 
evidence to the proper accounting officers for the allowance of the 
claim, which shall be allowed and paid out of amounts in the Treasury 
not otherwise appropriated. The amount allowed and paid shall not 
exceed the value of the interest of the Government in the property.

                district, territory, or possession of the United States 
                where the military installation in which the violation

        equal to the weekly average one-year constant maturity Treasury 
        yield, as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal 
        Reserve System, for the calendar week preceding the date of 
        taking.
          (2) Period of more than one year.--Where the period for which 
        interest is owed is more than one year, interest for the first 
        year shall be calculated in accordance with paragraph (1) and

        deposit referred to in section 3114 of this title, plus accrued 
        interest, at an annual rate equal to the weekly average one-
        year constant maturity Treasury yield, as published by the

        bond shall equal the total amount payable by the terms of the 
        contract unless the officer awarding the contract determines, 
        in a writing supported by specific findings, that a payment 
        bond in that amount is impractical, in which case the 
        contracting officer shall set the amount of the payment bond.

        amount of the performance bond.

        contractor files a return for the period, except that notice 
        must be given no later than 180 days from the date when a 
        return for the period was required to be filed under the 
        Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. 1 et seq.).

bond or other security in addition to those, or in cases other than the

        amount due.
          (2) Person having direct contractual relationship with a 
        subcontractor.--A person having a direct contractual

        relationship, express or implied, with the contractor 
        furnishing the payment bond may bring a civil action on the 
        payment bond on giving written notice to the contractor within 
        90 days from the date on which the person did or performed the

                  (B) in the United States District Court for any 
                district in which the contract was to be performed and 
                executed, regardless of the amount in controversy.
          (4) Period in which action must be brought.--An action 
        brought under this subsection must be brought no later than one 
        year after the day on which the last of the labor was performed 
        or material was supplied by the person bringing the action.
          (5) Liability of federal government.--The Government is not 
        liable for the payment of any costs or expenses of any civil 
        action brought under this subsection.
  (c) A waiver of the right to bring a civil action on a payment bond

          (1) in writing;
          (2) signed by the person whose right is waived; and
          (3) executed after the person whose right is waived has

                 SUBCHAPTER IV--WAGE RATE REQUIREMENTS

Sec. 3141. Definitions
  In this subchapter, the following definitions apply:
          (1) Federal government.--The term ``Federal Government'' has 
        the same meaning that the term ``United States'' had in the Act 
        of March 3, 1931 (ch. 411, 46 Stat. 1494 (known as the Davis-
        Bacon Act).
          (2) Wages, scale of wages, wage rates, minimum wages, and 
        prevailing wages.--The terms ``wages'', ``scale of wages'', 
        ``wage rates'', ``minimum wages'', and ``prevailing wages'' 
        include--
                  (A) the basic hourly rate of pay; and
                  (B) for medical or hospital care, pensions on 
                retirement or death, compensation for injuries or 
                illness resulting from occupational activity, or 
                insurance to provide any of the forgoing, for 
                unemployment benefits, life insurance, disability and 
                sickness insurance, or accident insurance, for vacation 
                and holiday pay, for defraying the costs of 
                apprenticeship or other similar programs, or for other 
                bona fide fringe benefits, but only where the 
                contractor or subcontractor is not required by other 
                federal, state, or local law to provide any of those 
                benefits, the amount of--
                          (i) the rate of contribution irrevocably made 
                        by a contractor or subcontractor to a trustee 
                        or to a third person under a fund, plan, or 
                        program; and
                          (ii) the rate of costs to the contractor or 
                        subcontractor that may be reasonably 
                        anticipated in providing benefits to laborers 
                        and mechanics pursuant to an enforceable 
                        commitment to carry out a financially 
                        responsible plan or program which was 
                        communicated in writing to the laborers and 
                        mechanics affected.
Sec. 3142. Rate of wages for laborers and mechanics
  (a) Application.--The advertised specifications for every contract in 
excess of $2,000, to which the Federal Government or the District of 
Columbia is a party, for construction, alteration, or repair, including 
painting and decorating, of public buildings and public works of the 
Government or the District of Columbia that are located in a State or 
the District of Columbia and which requires or involves the employment 
of mechanics or laborers shall contain a provision stating the minimum 
wages to be paid various classes of laborers and mechanics.
  (b) Based on Prevailing Wage.--The minimum wages shall be based on 
the wages the Secretary of Labor determines to be prevailing for the 
corresponding classes of laborers and mechanics employed on projects of 
a character similar to the contract work in the civil subdivision of 
the State in which the work is to be performed, or in the District of 
Columbia if the work is to be performed there.
  (c) Stipulations Required in Contract.--Every contract based upon the 
specifications referred to in subsection (a) must contain stipulations 
that--
          (1) the contractor or subcontractor shall pay all mechanics 
        and laborers employed directly on the site of the work, 
        unconditionally and at least once a week, and without 
        subsequent deduction or rebate on any account, the full amounts 
        accrued at time of payment, computed at wage rates not less 
        than those stated in the advertised specifications, regardless 
        of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist 
        between the contractor or subcontractor and the laborers and 
        mechanics;
          (2) the contractor will post the scale of wages to be paid in 
        a prominent and easily accessible place at the site of the 
        work; and
          (3) there may be withheld from the contractor so much of 
        accrued payments as the contracting officer considers necessary 
        to pay to laborers and mechanics employed by the contractor or 
        any subcontractor on the work the difference between the rates 
        of wages required by the contract to be paid laborers and 
        mechanics on the work and the rates of wages received by the 
        laborers and mechanics and not refunded to the contractor or 
        subcontractors or their agents.
  (d) Discharge of Obligation.--The obligation of a contractor or 
subcontractor to make payment in accordance with the prevailing wage 
determinations of the Secretary of Labor, under this subchapter and 
other laws incorporating this subchapter by reference, may be 
discharged by making payments in cash, by making contributions 
described in section 3141(2)(B)(i) of this title, by assuming an 
enforceable commitment to bear the costs of a plan or program referred 
to in section 3141(2)(B)(ii) of this title, or by any combination of 
payment, contribution, and assumption, where the aggregate of the 
payments, contributions, and costs is not less than the basic hourly 
rate of pay plus the amount referred to in section 3141(2)(B).
  (e) Overtime Pay.--In determining the overtime pay to which a laborer 
or mechanic is entitled under any federal law, the regular or basic 
hourly rate of pay (or other alternative rate on which premium rate of 
overtime compensation is computed) of the laborer or mechanic is deemed 
to be the rate computed under section 3141(2)(A) of this title, except 
that where the amount of payments, contributions, or costs incurred 
with respect to the laborer or mechanic exceeds the applicable 
prevailing wage, the regular or basic hourly rate of pay (or other 
alternative rate) is the amount of payments, contributions, or costs 
actually incurred with respect to the laborer or mechanic minus the 
greater of the amount of contributions or costs of the types described 
in section 3141(2)(B) of this title actually incurred with respect to 
the laborer or mechanic or the amount determined under section 
3141(2)(B) but not actually paid.
Sec. 3143. Termination of work on failure to pay agreed wages
  Every contract within the scope of this subchapter shall contain a 
provision that if the contracting officer finds that any laborer or 
mechanic employed by the contractor or any subcontractor directly on 
the site of the work covered by the contract has been or is being paid 
a rate of wages less than the rate of wages required by the contract to 
be paid, the Federal Government by written notice to the contractor may 
terminate the contractor's right to proceed with the work or the part 
of the work as to which there has been a failure to pay the required 
wages. The Government may have the work completed, by contract or 
otherwise, and the contractor and the contractor's sureties shall be 
liable to the Government for any excess costs the Government incurs.
Sec. 3144. Authority of Comptroller General to pay wages and list 
                    contractors violating contracts
  (a) Payment of Wages.--
          (1) In general.--The Comptroller General shall pay directly 
        to laborers and mechanics from any accrued payments withheld 
        under the terms of a contract any wages found to be due 
        laborers and mechanics under this subchapter.
          (2) Right of action.--If the accrued payments withheld under 
        the terms of the contract are insufficient to reimburse all the 
        laborers and mechanics who have not been paid the wages 
        required under this subchapter, the laborers and mechanics have 
        the same right to bring a civil action and intervene against 
        the contractor and the contractor's sureties as is conferred by 
        law on persons furnishing labor or materials. In those 
        proceedings it is not a defense that the laborers and mechanics 
        accepted or agreed to accept less than the required rate of 
        wages or voluntarily made refunds.
  (b) List of Contractors Violating Contracts.--
          (1) In general.--The Comptroller General shall distribute to 
        all departments of the Federal Government a list of the names 
        of persons whom the Comptroller General has found to have 
        disregarded their obligations to employees and subcontractors.
          (2) Restriction on awarding contracts.--No contract shall be 
        awarded to persons appearing on the list or to any firm, 
        corporation, partnership, or association in which the persons 
        have an interest until three years have elapsed from the date 
        of publication of the list.
Sec. 3145. Regulations governing contractors and subcontractors
  (a) In General.--The Secretary of Labor shall prescribe reasonable 
regulations for contractors and subcontractors engaged in constructing, 
carrying out, completing, or repairing public buildings, public works, 
or buildings or works that at least partly are financed by a loan or 
grant from the Federal Government. The regulations shall include a 
provision that each contractor and subcontractor each week must furnish 
a statement on the wages paid each employee during the prior week.
  (b) Application.--Section 1001 of title 18 applies to the statements.
Sec. 3146. Effect on other federal laws
  This subchapter does not supersede or impair any authority otherwise 
granted by federal law to provide for the establishment of specific 
wage rates.
Sec. 3147. Suspension of this subchapter during a national emergency
  The President may suspend the provisions of this subchapter during a 
national emergency.
Sec. 3148. Application of this subchapter to certain contracts
  This subchapter applies to a contract authorized by law that is made 
without regard to section 3709 of the Revised Statutes (41 U.S.C. 5), 
or on a cost-plus-a-fixed-fee basis or otherwise without advertising 
for proposals, if this subchapter otherwise would apply to the 
contract.

                    SUBCHAPTER V--VOLUNTEER SERVICES

Sec. 3161. Purpose
  It is the purpose of this subchapter to promote and provide 
opportunities for individuals who wish to volunteer their services to 
state or local governments, public agencies, or nonprofit charitable 
organizations in the construction, repair, or alteration (including 
painting and decorating) of public buildings and public works that at 
least partly are financed with federal financial assistance authorized 
under certain federal programs and that otherwise might not be possible 
without the use of volunteers.
Sec. 3162. Waiver for individuals who perform volunteer services
  (a) Criteria for Receiving Waiver.--The requirement that certain 
laborers and mechanics be paid in accordance with the wage-setting 
provisions of subchapter IV of this chapter as set forth in the Indian 
Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450 et 
seq.), the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (25 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), 
and the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301 
et seq.) does not apply to an individual--
          (1) who volunteers to perform a service directly to a state 
        or local government, a public agency, or a public or private 
        nonprofit recipient of federal assistance--
                  (A) for civic, charitable, or humanitarian reasons;
                  (B) only for the personal purpose or pleasure of the 
                individual;
                  (C) without promise, expectation, or receipt of 
                compensation for services rendered, except as provided 
                in subsection (b); and
                  (D) freely and without pressure or coercion, direct 
                or implied, from any employer;
          (2) whose contribution of service is not for the direct or 
        indirect benefit of any contractor otherwise performing or 
        seeking to perform work on the same project for which the 
        individual is volunteering;
          (3) who is not employed by and does not provide services to a 
        contractor or subcontractor at any time on the federally 
        assisted or insured project for which the individual is 
        volunteering; and
          (4) who otherwise is not employed by the same public agency 
        or recipient of federal assistance to perform the same type of 
        services as those for which the individual proposes to 
        volunteer.
  (b) Payments.--
          (1) In accordance with regulations.--Volunteers described in 
        subsection (a) who are performing services directly to a state 
        or local government or public agency may receive payments of 
        expenses, reasonable benefits, or a nominal fee only in 
        accordance with regulations the Secretary of Labor prescribes. 
        Volunteers who are performing services directly to a public or 
        private nonprofit entity may not receive those payments.
          (2) Criteria and content of regulations.--In prescribing the 
        regulations, the Secretary shall consider criteria such as the 
        total amount of payments made (relating to expenses, benefits, 
        or fees) in the context of the economic realities. The 
        regulations shall include provisions that provide that--
                  (A) a payment for an expense may be received by a 
                volunteer for items such as uniform allowances, 
                protective gear and clothing, reimbursement for 
                approximate out-of-pocket expenses, or the cost or 
                expense of meals and transportation;
                  (B) a reasonable benefit may include the inclusion of 
                a volunteer in a group insurance plan (such as a 
                liability, health, life, disability, or worker's 
                compensation plan) or pension plan, or the awarding of 
                a length of service award; and
                  (C) a nominal fee may not be used as a substitute for 
                compensation and may not be connected to productivity.
          (3) Nominal fee.--The Secretary shall decide what constitutes 
        a nominal fee for purposes of paragraph (2)(C). The decision 
        shall be based on the context of the economic realities of the 
        situation involved.
  (c) Economic Reality.--In determining whether an expense, benefit, or 
fee described in subsection (b) may be paid to volunteers in the 
context of the economic realities of the particular situation, the 
Secretary may not permit any expense, benefit, or fee that has the 
effect of undermining labor standards by creating downward pressure on 
prevailing wages in the local construction industry.

together with the name of each laborer or mechanic who was required or 
permitted to work in violation of this chapter and the day the 
violation occurred.
  (b) Withholding Amounts.--
          (1) Determining amount.--The amount of unpaid wages and 
        liquidated damages owing under this chapter shall be determined 
        administratively.
          (2) Amount directed to be withheld.--The officer or 
        individual whose duty it is to approve the payment of money by 
        the Government, territory, or District of Columbia in 
        connection with the performance of the contract work shall 
        direct the amount of--
                  (A) liquidated damages to be withheld for the use and 
                benefit of the Government, territory, or District; and
                  (B) unpaid wages to be withheld for the use and 
                benefit of the laborers and mechanics who were not 
                compensated as required under this chapter.
          (3) Payment.--The Comptroller General shall pay the amount 
        administratively determined to be due directly to the laborers 
        and mechanics from amounts withheld on account of underpayments 
        of wages if the amount withheld is adequate. If the amount 
        withheld is not adequate, the Comptroller General shall pay an 
        equitable proportion of the amount due.
  (c) Right of Action and Intervention Against Contractors and 
Sureties.--If the accrued payments withheld under the terms of the 
contract are insufficient to reimburse all the laborers and mechanics 
who have not been paid the wages required under this chapter, the 
laborers and mechanics, in the case of a department or agency of the 
Government, have the same right of action and intervention against the 
contractor and the contractor's sureties as is conferred by law on 
persons furnishing labor or materials. In those proceedings it is not a 
defense that the laborers and mechanics accepted or agreed to accept 
less than the required rate of wages or voluntarily made refunds.
  (d) Review Process.--
          (1) Time limit for appeal.--Within 60 days after an amount is 
        withheld as liquidated damages, any contractor or subcontractor 
        aggrieved by the withholding may appeal to the head of the 
        agency of the Government or territory for which the contract 
        work is done or which is providing financial assistance for the 
        work, or to the Mayor of the District of Columbia in the case 
        of liquidated damages withheld for the use and benefit of the 
        District.
          (2) Review by agency head or mayor.--The agency head or Mayor 
        may review the administrative determination of liquidated 
        damages. The agency head or Mayor may issue a final order 
        affirming the determination or may recommend to the Secretary 
        of Labor that an appropriate adjustment in liquidated damages 
        be made, or that the contractor or subcontractor be relieved of 
        liability for the liquidated damages, if it is found that the 
        amount is incorrect or that the contractor or subcontractor 
        violated this chapter inadvertently, notwithstanding the 
        exercise of due care by the contractor or subcontractor and the 
        agents of the contractor or subcontractor.
          (3) Review by secretary.--The Secretary shall review all 
        pertinent facts in the matter and may conduct any investigation 
        the Secretary considers necessary in order to affirm or reject 
        the recommendation. The decision of the Secretary is final.
          (4) Judicial action.--A contractor or subcontractor aggrieved 
        by a final order for the withholding of liquidated damages may 
        file a claim in the United States Court of Federal Claims 
        within 60 days after the final order. A final order of the 
        agency head, Mayor, or Secretary is conclusive with respect to 
        findings of fact if supported by substantial evidence.
  (e) Applicability of Other Laws.--

        contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the 
        contract work shall require any laborer or mechanic employed in

        prescribes by regulation based on proceedings pursuant to

        4 and 5 of the Walsh-Healey Act (41 U.S.C. 38, 39).

                for the completion of the contract work, charging any 
                additional cost to the original contractor; or
                  (B) section 3701(b)(1)(B)(iii) of this title, the 
                governmental agency which is providing the financial 
                guarantee, assistance, or insurance for the contract 
                work may withhold the guarantee, assistance, or

        agency hearing, decides on the record that, by repeated willful 
        or grossly negligent violations of this chapter, a contractor 
        or subcontractor has demonstrated that subsection (b) is not 
        effective to protect the safety and health of the employees of 
        the contractor or subcontractor, the Secretary shall make a 
        finding to that effect and, not sooner than 30 days aftergiving

        person in which the contractor or subcontractor has a 
        substantial interest may not be awarded a contract subject to 
        this section until three years have elapsed from the date the 
        name is transmitted to the Comptroller General. The Secretary 
        shall terminate the ban if, before the end of the three-year 
        period, the Secretary, after affording interested persons due 
        notice and an opportunity for a hearing, is satisfied that a 
        contractor or subcontractor whose name was transmitted to the 
        Comptroller General will comply responsibly with the 
        requirements of this section. The Comptroller General shall 
        inform all Government agencies after being informed of the

District of Columbia, the general welfare of the District of Columbia, 
the health and living standards of the people residing or working in 
the District of Columbia, and the conduct of industry, trade, and

and instrumentalities of the Government which may be carried out in, or 
in relation to, the other areas of the Washington metropolitan region, 
shall be coordinated with the development of those other areas and with 
the management of their public affairs so that, with the cooperation

Sec. 8701. Findings and purposes
  (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
          (1) the location of the seat of government in the District of 
        Columbia has brought about the development of a metropolitan 
        region extending well into adjoining territory in Maryland and 
        Virginia;
          (2) effective comprehensive planning is necessary on a 
        regional basis and of continuing importance to the federal 
        establishment;
          (3) the distribution of federal installations throughout the 
        region has been and will continue to be a major influence in 
        determining the extent and character of development;
          (4) there is needed a central planning agency for the 
        National Capital region to coordinate certain developmental 
        activities of the many different agencies of the Federal and 
        District of Columbia Governments so that those activities may 
        conform with general objectives;
          (5) there is an increasing mutuality of interest and 
        responsibility between the various levels of government that 
        calls for coordinate and unified policies in planning both 
        federal and local development in the interest of order and

                negative impact and shall be incorporated into the 
                comprehensive plan and implemented. If the Commission 
                finds a negative impact, it shall certify its findings

Commission shall acquire land the Planning Commission believes is 
necessary and desirable in the District of Columbia and adjacent areas 
in Maryland and Virginia for suitable development of the National 
Capital park, parkway, andplayground system. The acquisition must be 
within the limits of the appropriations made for those purposes. The 
Planning Commission shall request the advice of the Commission of Fine 
Arts in selecting land to be acquired.
  (b) How Land May Be Acquired.--
          (1) Purchase or condemnation proceeding.--The National 
        Capital Planning Commission may buy land when the land can be 
        acquired at a price the Planning Commission considers 
        reasonable or by a condemnation proceeding when the land cannot 
        be bought at a reasonable price.
          (2) Land in the district of columbia.--A condemnation 
        proceeding to acquire land in the District of Columbia shall be 
        conducted in accordance with section 1 of the Act of December 
        23, 1963 (Public Law 88-241, 77 Stat. 571).
          (3) Land in maryland or virginia.--The Planning Commission 
        may acquire land in Maryland or Virginia under arrangements 
        agreed to by the Commission and the proper officials of 
        Maryland or Virginia.
  (c) Control of Land.--
          (1) Land in the district of columbia.--Land acquired in the 
        District of Columbia shall be a part of the park system of the 
        District of Columbia and be under the control of the Director 
        of the National Park Service. The National Capital Planning 
        Commission may assign areas suitable for playground purposes to 
        the control of the Mayor of the District of Columbia for 
        playground purposes.
          (2) Land in maryland or virginia.--Land acquired in Maryland 
        or Virginia shall be controlled as determined by agreement 
        between the Planning Commission and the proper officials of 
        Maryland or Virginia.
  (d) Presidential Approval Required.--The designation of all land to 
be acquired by condemnation, all contracts to purchase land, and all 
agreements between the National Capital Planning Commission and the 
officials of Maryland and Virginia are subject to the approval of the 
President.
Sec. 8732. Acquiring land subject to limited rights reserved to grantor 
                    and limited permanent rights in land adjoining park 
                    property
  (a) In General.--The National Capital Planning Commission in 
accordance with this chapter may acquire, for and on behalf of the 
Federal Government, by gift, devise, purchase, or condemnation--
          (1) fee title to land subject to limited rights, but not for 
        business purposes, reserved to the grantor; and
          (2) permanent rights in land adjoining park property 
        sufficient to prevent the use of the land in certain specified 
        ways which would essentially impair the value of the park 
        property for its purposes.
  (b) Prerequisites to Acquisition.--
          (1) Fee title to land subject to limited rights.--The 
        reservation of rights to the grantor shall not continue beyond 
        the life of the grantor of the fee. The Commission must decide 
        that the permanent public park purposes for which control over 
        the land is needed are not essentially impaired by the reserved 
        rights and that there is a substantial saving in cost by 
        acquiring the land subject to the limited rights as compared 
        with the cost of acquiring unencumbered title to the land.
          (2) Permanent rights in land adjoining park property.--The 
        Commission must decide that the protection and maintenance of 
        the essential public values of the park can be secured more 
        economically by acquiring the permanent rights than by 
        acquiring the land.
  (c) Presidential Approval Required.--All contracts to acquire land or 
rights under this section are subject to the approval of the President.

          (1) subject to the approval of the National Capital Planning 
        Commission;
          (2) subject to the need for the immediate use of the land, 
        building, or structure in other ways by the public; and
          (3) on terms the Administrator decides.

Sec. 8735. Sale of land by Secretary of the Interior
  (a) Authority To Sell.--With the approval of the National Capital 
Planning Commission, the Secretary of the Interior, for the best 
interests of the Federal Government, may sell, by deed or instrument, 
real estate held by the Government in the District of Columbia and 
under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service which may be no 
longer needed for public purposes. The land may be sold for cash or on 
a deferred-payment plan the Secretary approves, at a price not less 
than the Government paid for it and not less than its present appraised 
value as determined by the Secretary.
  (b) Sale to Highest Bidder.--In selling any parcel of land under this 
section, the Secretary shall have public or private solicitation for 
bids or offers be made as the Secretary considers appropriate. The 
Secretary shall sell the parcel to the party agreeing to pay the 
highest price if the price is otherwise satisfactory. If the price 
offered or bid by the owner of land abutting the land to be sold equals 
the highest price offered or bid by any other party, the parcel may be 
sold to the owner of the abutting land.
  (c) Paying Expenses and Depositing Proceeds.--The Secretary--
          (1) may pay the reasonable and necessary expenses of the sale 
        of each parcel of land sold; and
          (2) shall deposit the net proceeds of each sale in the 
        Treasury to the credit of the Government and the District of 
        Columbia in the proportion that each--
                  (A) paid the appropriations used to acquire the 
                parcels; or
                  (B) was obligated to pay the appropriations, at the 
                time of acquisition, by reimbursement.
Sec. 8736. Execution of deeds

for real estate sold under this subchapter. The deeds shall contain a

continental United States as determined by the last preceding decennial 
census may be appropriated each year in the District of Columbia 
Appropriation Act for the National Capital Planning Commission to use 
for the payment of its expenses and for the acquisition of land the 
Commission may acquire under section 8731 of this title for the 
purposes named, including compensation for the land, surveys, 
ascertainment of title, condemnation proceedings, and necessary 
conveyancing. The appropriated amounts shall be paid from the revenues 
of the District of Columbia and the general amounts of the Treasury in 
the same proportion as other expenses of the District of Columbia.

consultation with the National Capital Memorial Commission, determines 
that a site where commemorative works may be displayed on a temporary

        in Area I only if the Secretary or Administrator decides that 
        the subject of the commemorative work is of preeminent 
        historical and lasting significance to the United States. The 
        Secretary or Administrator shall notify the Commission, the 
        Committee on House Administration of the House of 
        Representatives, and the Committee on Energy and Natural 
        Resources of the Senate of the recommendation that a

                and performance of all products and services available 
                for ordering through the multiple award schedules;
                  (B) provide for updating that information to reflect 
                changes in prices, features, and performance as soon as 
                information on the changes becomes available; and
                  (C) enable users to make on-line computer comparisons 
                of the prices, features, and performance of similar 
                products and services offered by various vendors; and
          (2) be used to place orders under the multiple award 
        schedules in a fiscal year for an amount equal to at least 60 
        percent of the total amount spent for all orders under the 
        multiple award schedules in that fiscal year.
  (c) Streamlined Procedures.--
          (1) Pilot program.--On certification by the Administrator of 
        General Services that the system for providing on-line computer 
        access meets the requirements of subsection (b)(1) and was used 
        as required by subsection (b)(2) in the fiscal year preceding 
        the fiscal year in which the certification is made, the 
        Administrator for Federal Procurement Policy may establish a 
        pilot program to test streamlined procedures for the 
        procurement of information technology products and services 
        available for ordering through the multiple award schedules.
          (2) Applicability to multiple award schedule contracts.--
        Except as provided in paragraph (4), the pilot program shall be 
        applicable to all multiple award schedule contracts for the 
        purchase of information technology and shall test the following 
        procedures:
                  (A) A procedure under which negotiation of the terms 
                and conditions for a covered multiple award schedule 
                contract is limited to terms and conditions other than 
                price.
                  (B) A procedure under which the vendor establishes 
                the prices under a covered multiple award schedule 
                contract and may adjust those prices at any time in the 
                discretion of the vendor.
                  (C) A procedure under which a covered multiple award 
                schedule contract is awarded to any responsible offeror 
                that--
                          (i) has a suitable record of past 
                        performance, which may include past performance 
                        on multiple award schedule contracts;
                          (ii) agrees to terms and conditions that the 
                        Administrator for Federal Procurement Policy 
                        determines are required by law or are 
                        appropriate for the purchase of commercial 
                        items; and
                          (iii) agrees to establish and update prices, 
                        features, and performance and to accept orders 
                        electronically through the automated system 
                        established pursuant to subsection (a).
          (3) Comptroller general review and report.--
                  (A) Authority to conduct review and make report.--Not 
                later than three years after the date on which the 
                pilot program is established, the Comptroller General 
                shall review the pilot program and report to Congress 
                on the results of the pilot program.
                  (B) Content of report.--The report shall include the 
                following:
                          (i) An evaluation of the extent to which 
                        there is competition for the orders placed 
                        under the pilot program.
                          (ii) The effect that the streamlined 
                        procedures under the pilot program have on 
                        prices charged under multiple award schedule 
                        contracts.
                          (iii) The effect that those procedures have 
                        on paperwork requirements for multiple award 
                        schedule contracts and orders.
                          (iv) The impact of the pilot program on small 
                        businesses and socially and economically 
                        disadvantaged small businesses.
          (4) Withdrawal of schedule or portion of schedule from pilot 
        program.--
                  (A) When allowed.--The Administrator for Federal 
                Procurement Policy may withdraw a multiple award 
                schedule or portion of a schedule from the pilot 
                program if the Administrator determines that--
                          (i) price competition is not available under 
                        that schedule or portion of that schedule; or
                          (ii) the cost to the Government for that 
                        schedule or portion for the previous year was 
                        higher than it would have been if the contract 
                        for that schedule or portion had been awarded 
                        using procedures that would apply if the pilot 
                        program were not in effect.
                  (B) Notice.--The Administrator for Federal 
                Procurement Policy shall notify Congress at least 30 
                days before the date on which the Administrator 
                withdraws a schedule or portion under this paragraph.

          (5) Termination of pilot program.--Unless reauthorized by 
        law, the authority of the Administrator for Federal Procurement 
        Policy to award contracts under the pilot program shall expire 
        four years after the date on which the pilot program is 
        established. A contract entered into before the authority 
        expires remains in effect according to the terms of the 
        contract after the expiration of the authority to award new 
        contracts under the pilot program.
Sec. 11702. Identification of excess and surplus computer equipment
  In accordance with chapter 5 of this title, the head of an executive 
agency shall maintain an inventory of all computer equipment under the 
control of that official that is excess or surplus property.
Sec. 11703. Index of certain information in information systems 
                    included in directory established under section 
                    4101 of title 44

created pursuant to section 4101 of title 44. This section does not 
authorize the dissemination of information to the public unless 
otherwise authorized.
Sec. 11704. Procurement procedures
   To the maximum extent practicable, the Federal Acquisition 
Regulatory Council shall ensure that the process for acquisition of 
information technology is a simplified, clear, and understandable 
process that specifically addresses the management of risk, incremental

Sec.
14101.  Findings and purposes.
14102.  Definitions.
Sec. 14101. Findings and purposes
  (a) 1965 Findings and Purpose.--
          (1) Findings.--Congress finds and declares that the 
        Appalachian region of the United States, while abundant in 
        natural resources and rich in potential, lags behind the rest 
        of the Nation in its economic growth and that its people have 
        not shared properly in the Nation's prosperity. The region's 
        uneven past development, with its historical reliance on a few 
        basic industries and a marginal agriculture, has failed to 
        provide the economic base that is a vital prerequisite for 
        vigorous, self-sustaining growth. State and local governments 
        and the people of the region understand their problems and have 
        been working, and will continue to work, purposefully toward 
        their solution. Congress recognizes the comprehensive report of 
        the President's Appalachian Regional Commission documenting 
        these findings and concludes that regionwide development is 
        feasible, desirable, and urgently needed.
          (2) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this subtitle to assist 
        the region in meeting its special problems, to promote its 
        economic development, and to establish a framework for joint 
        federal and state efforts toward providing the basic facilities 
        essential to its growth and attacking its common problems and 
        meeting its common needs on a coordinated and concerted 
        regional basis. The public investments made in the region under 
        this subtitle shall be concentrated in areas where there is a 
        significant potential for future growth and where the expected 
        return on public dollars invested will be the greatest. States 
        will be responsible for recommending local and state projects 
        within their borders that will receive assistance under this 
        subtitle. As the region obtains the needed physical and 
        transportation facilities and develops its human resources, 
        Congress expects that the region will generate a diversified 
        industry and that the region will then be able to support 
        itself through the workings of a strengthened free enterprise 
        economy.
  (b) 1975 Findings and Purpose.--
          (1) Findings.--Congress further finds and declares that while 
        substantial progress has been made toward achieving the 
        purposes set out in subsection (a), especially with respect to 
        the provision of essential public facilities, much remains to 
        be accomplished, especially with respect to the provision of 
        essential health, education, and other public services. 
        Congress recognizes that changes and evolving national purposes 
        in the decade since 1965 affect not only the Appalachian region 
        but also its relationship to a nation that on December 31, 
        1975, is assigning higher priority to conservation and the 
        quality of life, values long cherished within the region. 
        Appalachia as of December 31, 1975, has the opportunity, in 
        accommodating future growth and development, to demonstrate 
        local leadership and coordinated planning so that housing, 
        public services, transportation and other community facilities 
        will be provided in a way congenial to the traditions and 
        beauty of the region and compatible with conservation values 
        and an enhanced quality of life for the people of the region, 
        and consistent with that goal, the Appalachian region should be 
        able to take advantage of eco-industrial development, which 
        promotes both employment and economic growth and the 
        preservation of natural resources. Congress recognizes also 
        that fundamental changes are occurring in national energy 
        requirements and production, which not only risk short-term 
        dislocations but will undoubtedly result in major long-term 
        effects in the region. It is essential that the opportunities 
        for expanded energy production be used so as to maximize the 
        social and economic benefits and minimize the social and 
        environmental costs to the region and its people.
          (2) Purpose.--It is also the purpose of this subtitle to 
        provide a framework for coordinating federal, state and local 
        efforts toward--
                  (A) anticipating the effects of alternative energy 
                policies and practices;
                  (B) planning for accompanying growth and change so as 
                to maximize the social and economic benefits and 
                minimize the social and environmental costs; and
                  (C) implementing programs and projects carried out in 
                the region by federal, state, and local governmental 
                agencies so as to better meet the special problems 
                generated in the region by the Nation's energy needs 
                and policies, including problems of transportation, 
                housing, community facilities, and human services.
  (c) 1998 Findings and Purpose.--
          (1) Findings.--Congress further finds and declares that while 
        substantial progress has been made in fulfilling many of the 
        objectives of this subtitle, rapidly changing national and 
        global economies over the decade ending November 13, 1998, have 
        created new problems and challenges for rural areas throughout 
        the United States and especially for the Appalachian region.
          (2) Purpose.--In addition to the purposes stated in 
        subsections (a) and (b), it is the purpose of this subtitle--
                  (A) to assist the Appalachian region in--
                          (i) providing the infrastructure necessary 
                        for economic and human resource development;
                          (ii) developing the region's industry;
                          (iii) building entrepreneurial communities;
                          (iv) generating a diversified regional 
                        economy; and
                          (v) making the region's industrial and 
                        commercial resources more competitive in

Sec. 14501. Appalachian development highway system
  (a) Purpose.--To provide a highway system which, in conjunction with 
the Interstate System and other Federal-aid highways in the Appalachian 
region, will open up an area with a developmental potential where 
commerce and communication have been inhibited by lack of adequate 
access, the Secretary of Transportation may assist in the construction 
of an Appalachian development highway system and local access roads 
serving the Appalachian region. Construction on the development highway 
system shall not be more than 3,025 miles. There shall not be more than 
1,400 miles of local access roads that serve specific recreational, 
residential, educational, commercial, industrial, or similar facilities

development highway not already on the Federal-aid primary system shall 
be added to the system.
  (d) Use of Specific Materials and Products.--
          (1) Indigenous materials and products.--In the construction 
        of highways and roads authorized under this section, a State 
        may give special preference to the use of materials and 
        products indigenous to the Appalachian region.
          (2) Coal derivatives.--For research and development in the 
        use of coal and coal products in highway construction and 
        maintenance, the Secretary may require each participating

        all procedures and requirements applicable to the construction 
        of segments of Appalachian development highways with those 
        amounts, except for procedures and requirements that limit a 
        State to the construction of projects for which federal amounts 
        have previously been appropriated, the Secretary, on 
        application by the State and with the approval of the 
        Commission, may pay to the State the federal share, which shall 
        not be more than 80 percent of the cost of the construction of 
        the segment, from any amounts appropriated and allocated to the 
        State to carry out this section.
          (2) No commitment or obligation.--This subsection does not

          (2) Construction and maintenance.--States are required to 
        maintain each development highway and local access road as 
        provided for Federal-aid highways in title 23. All other 
        provisions of title 23 that are applicable to the construction 
        and maintenance of Federal-aid primary and secondary highways

        project. Except for a loan to an organization established for 
        profit, the Secretary may cancel any part of a loan made under

        the project cannot be obtained in an amount adequate for 
        repayment of a loan made under this section.

        to an organization established for profit and, except as

        be recoverable from the proceeds of a permanent loan made to 
        finance the project.

        Secretary may make grants and commitments for grants, and may

        organizations and public bodies for reasonable site development 
        costs and necessary offsite improvements, such as sewer and 
        water line extensions, when the grant, commitment, or advance 
        is essential to the economic feasibility of a housing 
        construction or rehabilitation project for low- and moderate-
        income families and individuals which otherwise meets the 
        requirements for assistance under this section. A grant under 
        this paragraph for--
                  (A) the construction of housing shall not be more

amounts made available to carry out this section--
          (1) for any part of the basic federal contribution to 
        projects or activities under the federal grant programs 
        authorized by federal laws; and

the administration of the program.

                     SUBCHAPTER II--ADMINISTRATIVE

Sec. 14521. Required level of expenditure
  A State or political subdivision of a State is not eligible to 
receive benefits under this subtitle unless the aggregate expenditure 
of state amounts, except expenditures for participation in the Dwight 
D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways and local and 
federal amounts, for the benefit of the area within the State located 
in the Appalachian region is maintained at a level which does not fall 
below the average level of those expenditures for the State's last two 
full fiscal years prior to March 9, 1965. In computing the level, a 
State's past expenditure for participation in the Dwight D. Eisenhower 
System of Interstate and Defense Highways and expenditures of local and 
federal amounts shall not be included. The Commission shall recommend 
to the President a lesser requirement when it finds that a substantial 
population decrease in that part of a State which lies within the 
region would not justify a state expenditure equal to the average level 
of the last two years or when it finds that a State's average level of 
expenditure in an individual program has been disproportionate to the 
present need for that part of the State.
Sec. 14522. Consent of States
  This subtitle does not require a State to engage in or accept a 
program under this subtitle without its consent.
Sec. 14523. Program implementation
  (a) Requirements.--A program or project authorized under this chapter

        not incompatible with the provisions and objectives of federal 
        laws that the official administers that are not inconsistent 
        with this subtitle; and
          (2) the Appalachian Regional Commission has approved the 
        program or project and has determined that it--
                  (A) meets the applicable criteria under section 14524 
                of this title and the requirements of the development 
                planning process under section 14525 of this title; and
                  (B) will contribute to the development of the 
                Appalachian region.
  (b) Decision Is Controlling.--A decision under subsection (a)(2) is 
controlling and shall be accepted by the federal agencies.
Sec. 14524. Program development criteria
  (a) Factors To Be Considered.--In considering programs and projects 
to be given assistance under this subtitle, and in establishing a 
priority ranking of the requests for assistance presented to the 
Appalachian Regional Commission, the Commission shall follow procedures 
that will ensure consideration of--
          (1) the relationship of the project or class of projects to 
        overall regional development, including its location in a 
        severely and persistently distressed county or area;
          (2) the population and area to be served by the project or 
        class of projects, including the per capita market income and 
        the unemployment rates in the area;
          (3) the relative financial resources available to the State

Sec.
17901.  Definitions.
17902.  Sale of electric energy.
17903.  Purchase of electric power.
17904.  Implementation powers and limitations.
Sec. 17901. Definitions
  In this chapter, the following definitions apply:
          (1) Federal agency.--The term ``federal agency'' means a 
        department, agency, or instrumentality of the Federal 
        Government.
          (2) Federally generated electric energy.--The term 
        ``federally generated electric energy'' means any electric 
        power generated by an electric generating facility owned and 
        operated by a federal agency.
          (3) Non-federal person.--The term ``non-federal person'' 
        means a corporation, cooperative, municipality, or other non-
        federal entity that generates electric energy through a 
        facility other than a federally owned electric generating 
        facility.
Sec. 17902. Sale of electric energy
  (a) In General.--To conserve oil and natural gas and better utilize 
coal, the head of a federal agency may sell, or enter into a contract 
to sell, to any non-federal person electric energy generated by coal-
fired electric generating facilities of that agency in Alaska without 
regard to any provision of law that precludes the sale when the 
electric energy to be sold is available from other local sources, if 
the head of the federal agency determines that--
          (1) the electric energy to be sold is generated by an 
        existing coal-fired generating facility;
          (2) the electric energy to be sold is surplus to the federal 
        agency's needs and is in excess of the electric energy 
        specifically generated for consumption by, or necessary to 
        serve the requirements of, another federal agency;
          (3) the cost to the ultimate consumers of the electric energy 
        to be sold is less than the cost that, in the absence of the 
        sale, would be incurred by those consumers for the purchase of 
        an equivalent amount of energy; and
          (4) the sale will reduce the total consumption of oil or 
        natural gas by the non-federal person purchasing the electric 
        energy below the level of consumption that would occur in the 
        absence of the sale.
  (b) Pricing Policies.--Federally generated electric energy sold by 
the head of a federal agency under subsection (a) shall be priced to 
recover the fuel and variable operation and maintenance costs of the 
facility generating the energy that are attributable to that sale, plus 
an amount equal to one-half the difference between--
          (1) the costs of producing the electric energy by coal 
        generation; and
          (2) the costs of producing electric energy by the oil or gas 
        generation being displaced.
Sec. 17903. Purchase of electric power
  For purposes of economy, efficiency, and conserving oil and natural 
gas, the head of a federal agency, when practicable and consistent with 
other laws and requirements applicable to that agency, shall endeavor 
to purchase electric energy from a non-federal person for consumption 
in Alaska by a facility of that agency when (taking into account the 
remaining useful life of any facility available to that agency to 
generate electric energy for that agency and the cost of maintaining 
the facility on a standby basis) the purchase will result in--
          (1) a savings to other consumers of electric energy sold by 
        that non-federal person without increasing the cost incurred by 
        any federal agency for electric energy; or
          (2) a cost savings to the federal agency purchasing the 
        electric energy without increasing costs to other consumers of 
        electric energy.
Sec. 17904. Implementation powers and limitations
  (a) Accommodation of Needs for Electric Energy.--This chapter does 
not require or authorize a federal agency to construct a new electric 
generating facility or related facility, to modify an existing 
facility, or to employ reserve or standby equipment to accommodate the 
needs of a non-federal person for electric energy.
  (b) Availability of Revenue From Sales.--Revenue received by a 
federal agency pursuant to section 17902 of this title from the sale of 
electric energy generated from a facility of that agency is available 
to the agency without fiscal year limitation to purchase fuel and for 
operation, maintenance, and other costs associated with that facility.
  (c) Exercise of Authorities.--The authority under this chapter shall 
be exercised for those periods and pursuant to terms and conditions 
that the head of the federal agency concerned decides are necessary 
consistent with--
          (1) this chapter; and
          (2) responsibilities of the head of the federal agency under 
        other law.
  (d) Negotiation and Execution of Contracts and Other Agreements.--A 
contract or other agreement executed under this chapter shall be 
negotiated and executed by the head of the federal agency selling or 
purchasing electric energy under this chapter.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
          (1) affordable public transportation is essential to the 
        economic vitality of the national capital area and is an 
        essential component of regional efforts to improve air quality 
        to meet environmental requirements and to improve the health of 
        both residents of and visitors to the national capital area as 
        well as to preserve the beauty and dignity of the Nation's 
        capital;
          (2) use of mass transit by both residents of and visitors to 
        the national capital area is substantially affected by the 
        prices charged for mass transit services, prices that are 
        substantially affected by labor costs, since more than two-
        thirds of operating costs are attributable to labor costs;
          (3) labor costs incurred in providing mass transit in the 
        national capital area have increased at an alarming rate and 
        wages and benefits of operators and mechanics currently are 
        among the highest in the Nation;
          (4) higher operating costs incurred for public transit in the 
        national capital area cannot be offset by increasing costs to 
        patrons, since this often discourages ridership and thus 
        undermines the public interest in promoting the use of public 
        transit;
          (5) spiraling labor costs cannot be offset by the 
        governmental entities that are responsible for subsidy payments 
        for public transit services since local governments generally, 
        and the District of Columbia government in particular, are 
        operating under severe fiscal constraints;
          (6) imposition of mandatory standards applicable to 
        arbitrators resolving arbitration disputes involving interstate 
        compact agencies operating in the national capital area will 
        ensure that wage increases are justified and do not exceed the 
        ability of transit patrons and taxpayers to fund the increase; 
        and
          (7) federal legislation is necessary under section 8 of 
        Article I of the United States Constitution to balance the need 
        to moderate and lower labor costs while maintaining industrial 
        peace.
  (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this chapter is to adopt standards 
governing arbitration that must be applied by arbitrators resolving 
disputes involving interstate compact agencies operating in the 
national capital area in order to lower operating costs for public 
transportation in the Washington metropolitan area.
Sec. 18302. Definitions
  In this chapter, the following definitions apply:
          (1) Arbitration.--The term ``arbitration''--
                  (A) means the arbitration of disputes, regarding the 
                terms and conditions of employment, that is required 
                under an interstate compact governing an interstate 
                compact agency operating in the national capital area; 
                but
                  (B) does not include the interpretation and 
                application of rights arising from an existing 
                collective bargaining agreement.
          (2) Arbitrator.--The term ``arbitrator'' refers to either a 
        single arbitrator, or a board of arbitrators, chosen under 
        applicable procedures.
          (3) Interstate compact agency operating in the national 
        capital area.--The term ``interstate compact agency operating 
        in the national capital area'' means any interstate compact 
        agency that provides public transit services and that was 
        established by an interstate compact to which the District of 
        Columbia is a signatory.
Sec. 18303. Standards for arbitrators
  (a) Definition.--In this section, the term ``public welfare'' 
includes, with respect to arbitration under an interstate compact--
          (1) the financial ability of the individual jurisdictions 
        participating in the compact to pay for the costs of providing 
        public transit services; and
          (2) the average per capita tax burden, during the term of the 
        collective bargaining agreement to which the arbitration 
        relates, of the residents of the Washington metropolitan area, 
        and the effect of an arbitration award rendered under that 
        arbitration on the respective income or property tax rates of 
        the jurisdictions that provide subsidy payments to the 
        interstate compact agency established under the compact.
  (b) Factors in Making Arbitration Award.--An arbitrator rendering an 
arbitration award involving the employees of an interstate compact 
agency operating in the national capital area may not make a finding or 
a decision for inclusion in a collective bargaining agreement governing 
conditions of employment without considering the following factors:
          (1) The existing terms and conditions of employment of the 
        employees in the bargaining unit.
          (2) All available financial resources of the interstate 
        compact agency.
          (3) The annual increase or decrease in consumer prices for 
        goods and services as reflected in the most recent consumer 
        price index for theWashington metropolitan area, published by 
the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
          (4) The wages, benefits, and terms and conditions of the 
        employment of other employees who perform, in other 
        jurisdictions in the Washington standard metropolitan 
        statistical area, services similar to those in the bargaining 
        unit.
          (5) The special nature of the work performed by the employees 
        in the bargaining unit, including any hazards or the relative 
        ease of employment, physical requirements, educational 
        qualifications, job training and skills, shift assignments, and 
        the demands placed upon the employees as compared to other 
        employees of the interstate compact agency.
          (6) The interests and welfare of the employees in the 
        bargaining unit, including--
                  (A) the overall compensation presently received by 
                the employees, having regard not only for wage rates 
                but also for wages for time not worked, including 
                vacations, holidays, and other excused absences;
                  (B) all benefits received by the employees, including 
                previous bonuses, insurance, and pensions; and
                  (C) the continuity and stability of employment.
          (7) The public welfare.
  (c) Ability To Finance Salaries and Benefits Provided in Award.--An 
arbitrator rendering an arbitration award involving the employees of an 
interstate compact agency operating in the national capital area may 
not, with respect to a collective bargaining agreement governing 
conditions of employment, provide for salaries and other benefits that 
exceed the ability of the interstate compact agency, or of any 
governmental jurisdiction that provides subsidy payments or budgetary 
assistance to the interstate compact agency, to obtain the necessary 
financial resources to pay for wage and benefit increases for employees 
of the interstate compact agency.
  (d) Requirements for Final Award.--
          (1) Written award.--In resolving a dispute submitted to 
        arbitration involving the employees of an interstate compact 
        agency operating in the national capital area, the arbitrator 
        shall issue a written award that demonstrates that all the 
        factors set forth in subsections (b) and (c) have been 
        considered and applied.
          (2) Prerequisites.--An award may grant an increase in pay 
        rates or benefits (including insurance and pension benefits), 
        or reduce hours of work, only if the arbitrator concludes that 
        any costs to the agency do not adversely affect the public 
        welfare.
          (3) Substantial evidence.--The arbitrator's conclusion 
        regarding the public welfare must be supported by substantial 
        evidence.
Sec. 18304. Procedures for enforcement of awards
  (a) Modifications and Finality of Award.--Within 10 days after the 
parties receive an arbitration award to which section 18303 of this 
title applies, the interstate compact agency and the employees, through 
their representative, may agree in writing on any modifications to the 
award. After the end of that 10-day period, the award, and any 
modifications, become binding on the interstate compact agency, the 
employees in the bargaining unit, and the employees' representative.
  (b) Implementation.--Each party to an award that becomes binding 
under subsection (a) shall take all actions necessary to implement the 
award.
  (c) Judicial Review.--Within 60 days after an award becomes binding 
under subsection (a), the interstate compact agency or the exclusive 
representative of the employees concerned may bring a civil action in a 
court that has jurisdiction over the interstate compact agency for 
review of the award. The court shall review the award on the record, 
and shall vacate the award or any part of the award, after notice and a 
hearing, if--

          (2) the arbitrator exceeded the arbitrator's powers;
          (3) the decision by the arbitrator is arbitrary or 
        capricious;
          (4) the arbitrator conducted the hearing contrary to the 
        provisions of this chapter or other laws or rules that apply to 
        the arbitration so as to substantially prejudice the rights of 
        a party;

        prejudicing the rights of a party;
          (6) the award was procured by corruption, fraud, or bias on

1949 (ch. 288), as added by section 6(d) of the Act of September 5, 
1950 (ch. 849, 64 Stat. 583), is repealed.

SEC. 5. LEGISLATIVE PURPOSE AND CONSTRUCTION.

  (a) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to revise, codify, and enact 
without substantive change the general and permanent laws of the United 
States related to public buildings, property, and works, in order to 
remove ambiguities, contradictions, and other imperfections and to 
repeal obsolete, superfluous, and superseded provisions.
  (b) No Substantive Change.--
          (1) In general.--This Act makes no substantive change in 
        existing law and may not be construed as making a substantive 
        change in existing law.
          (2) Deemed date of enactment for certain purposes.--For 
        purposes of determining whether one provision of law supersedes 
        another based on enactment later in time, and otherwise to 
        ensure that this Act makes no substantive change in existing 
        law, the date of enactment of a provision restated in section 1 
        or 2 of this Act is deemed to remain unchanged, continuing to 
        be the date of enactment of the underlying provision of public 
        law that is being restated.
          (3) Inconsistent laws enacted after March 31, 2002.--This Act 
        restates certain laws enacted before April 1, 2002. Any law 
        enacted after March 31, 2002, that is inconsistent with this 
        Act, including any law purporting to amend or repeal a 
        provision that is repealed by this Act, supersedes this Act to 
        the extent of the inconsistency.
  (c) References.--A reference to a law replaced by section 1 or 2 of 
this Act, including a reference in a regulation, order, or other law, 
is deemed to refer to the corresponding provision enacted by this Act.
  (d) Continuing Effect.--An order, rule, or regulation in effect under 
a law replaced by section 1 or 2 of this Act continues in effect under 
the corresponding provision enacted by this Act until repealed, 
amended, or superseded.
  (e) Actions and Offenses Under Prior Law.--An action taken or an 
offense committed under a law replaced by section 1 or 2 of this Act is 
deemed to have been taken or committed under the corresponding 
provision enacted by this Act.
  (f) Inferences.--An inference of a legislative construction is not to 
be drawn by reason of the location in the United States Code of a 
provision enacted by this Act or by reason of a caption or catch line 
of the provision.
  (g) Severability.--If a provision enacted by this Act is held 
invalid, all valid provisions that are severable from the invalid 
provision remain in effect. If a provision enacted by this Act is held 
invalid in any of its applications, the provision remains valid for all 
valid applications that are severable from any of the invalid 
applications.

SEC. 6. REPEALS.

  (a) Inferences of Repeal.--The repeal of a law by this Act may not be 
construed as a legislative inference that the provision was or was not 
in effect before its repeal.
  (b) Repealer Schedule.--The laws specified in the following schedule 
are repealed, except for rights and duties that matured, penalties that 
were incurred, and proceedings that were begun before the date of 
enactment of this Act:
