        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 
        shall order the agency to--
              (i) deliver the property to another agency that requests

    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.
      (2) Nonapplication.--This subsection does not--
          (A) recognize or concede any right to enforce by seizure,

claim for the security or satisfaction and the right of the person

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.

Made.--When the Government has taken or may take title to real property 
during a condemnation proceeding and in advance of final judgment in

    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 interest 
    for each additional year shall be calculated on the amount by which

    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 Board of Governors of the

    beginning of each additional year.

furnish to the Government the following bonds, which become binding 
when the contract is awarded:

    the officer for the protection of all persons supplying labor and 
    material in carrying out the work provided for in the contract for 
    the use of each person. The amount of the payment 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. The amount of the payment bond shall 
    not be less than the amount of the performance bond.

    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.).
      (3) Civil action.--The Government may not bring a civil action on 
    the bond for the taxes--
          (A) unless notice is given as provided in this subsection;

          (B) more than one year after the day on which notice is 
        given.
  (d) Waiver of Bonds for Contracts Performed in Foreign Countries.--A

payment bond for work under a contract that is to be performed in a 
foreign country if the officer finds that it is impracticable for the 
contractor to furnish the bonds.
  (e) Authority to Require Additional Bonds.--This section does not 
limit the authority of a contracting officer to require a performance 
bond or other security in addition to those, or in cases other than the 
cases, specified in subsection (b).

furnish a certified copy of a payment bond and the contract for which 
it was given to any person applying for a copy who submits an affidavit 
that the person has supplied labor or material for work described in 
the contract and payment for the work has not been made or that the 
person is being sued on the bond. The copy is prima facie evidence of 
the contents, execution, and delivery of the original. Applicants shall 
pay any fees the department secretary or agency head of the contracting 
agency fixes to cover the cost of preparing the certified copy.
  (b) Right to Bring a Civil Action.--

    which the person did or performed the last of the labor or 
    furnished or supplied the material for which the claim is made may 
    bring a civil action on the payment bond for the amount unpaid at 
    the time the civil action is brought and may prosecute the action 
    to final execution and judgment for the amount due.
      (2) Person having direct contractual relationship with a 
    subcontractor.--A person having a direct contractual relationship 
    with a subcontractor but no contractual relationship, express or 
    implied, with the contractor furnishing the payment bond may bring

    contractor within 90 days from the date on which the person did or 
    performed the last of the labor or furnished or supplied the last 
    of the material for which the claim is made. The action must state 
    with substantial accuracy the amount claimed and the name of the 
    party to whom the material was furnished or supplied or for whom

        verification of delivery to the contractor at any place the 
        contractor maintains an office or conducts business or at the 
        contractor's residence; or
          (B) in any manner in which the United States marshal of the 
        district in which the public improvement is situated by law may 
        serve summons.

    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 
required under this subchapter is void unless the waiver is--

                 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

        holiday pay, for defraying the costs of apprenticeship or other 
        similar programs, or for other bona fide fringe benefits, but

        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

    volunteering;
      (3) who is not employed by and does not provide services to a

    based on the context of the economic realities of the situation 
    involved.

        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

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.

      (1) Time limit for appeal.--Within 60 days after an amount is 
    withheld as liquidated damages, any contractor or subcontractor

    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.--

        guarantee, assistance, or insurance attributable to the 
        performance of the contract.
      (3) Nonapplicability.--Section 3703 of this title does not apply

    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 
    Secretary's action.
      (3) Judicial review.--A person aggrieved by the Secretary's 
    action under this subsection or subsection (b) may file with the 
    appropriate United States court of appeals a petition for review of 
    the Secretary's action within 60 days after receiving notice of the 
    Secretary's action. The clerk of the court immediately shall send a 
    copy of the petition to the Secretary. The Secretary then shall 
    file with the court the record on which the action is based. The 
    findings of fact by the Secretary, if supported by substantial 
    evidence, are final. The court may enter a decree enforcing, 
    modifying, modifying and enforcing, or setting aside any part of,

    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

    Governments so that those activities may conform with general 
    objectives;

    for coordinate and unified policies in planning both federal and 
    local development in the interest of order and economy;
      (6) there are developmental problems of an interstate character, 
    the planning of which requires collaboration between federal, 
    state, and local governments in the interest of equity and

    the development of the federal establishment at the seat of 
    government in a manner--
          (A) consistent with the nature and function of the National 
        Capital and with due regard for the rights and prerogatives of 
        the adjoining States and local governments to exercise control 
        appropriate to their functions; and
          (B) which will, in accordance with present and future needs,

        interests of the federal establishment in the National Capital, 
        the element or amendment shall not be implemented.
          (D) Findings and recommendations rejected.--If the Council

        or amendment has a negative impact on the interests or 
        functions of the federal establishment within the National 
        Capital. If the Commission does not act within the 60-day 
        period, the modified element or amendment is deemed to have no

                    CHAPTER 141--GENERAL PROVISIONS

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 national and world markets;
          (B) to provide a framework for coordinating federal, state, 
        and local initiatives to respond to the economic 
        competitiveness challenges in the Appalachian region through--
              (i) improving the skills of the region's workforce;
              (ii) adapting and applying new technologies for the 
            region's businesses, including eco-industrial development 
            technologies; and
              (iii) improving the access of the region's businesses to 
            the technical and financial resources necessary to 
            development of the businesses; and
          (C) to address the needs of severely and persistently 
        distressed areas of the Appalachian region and focus special 
        attention on the areas of greatest need so as to provide a 
        fairer opportunity for the people of the region to share the 
        quality of life generally enjoyed by citizens across the United 
        States.

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 
or facilitate a school consolidation program.

          (B) local access roads to be constructed;
          (C) priorities for the construction of segments of the 
        development highways; and
          (D) other criteria for the program authorized by this 
        section.

    Before a state member participates in or votes ondesignations, the 
member must obtain the recommendations of the state transportation 
department of the State which the member represents.
  (c) Addition to Federal-aid Primary System.--When completed, each 
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 State, to the maximum 
    extent possible, to use coal derivatives in the construction of not 
    more than 10 percent of the roads authorized under this subtitle.
  (e) Federal Share.--Federal assistance to any construction project 
under this section shall not be more than 80 percent of the cost of the 
project.
  (f) Construction Without Federal Amounts.--
      (1) Payment of federal share.--When a participating State 
    constructs a segment of a development highway without the aid of 
    federal amounts and the construction is in accordance with 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.

    apply to the development highway system and the local access roads.
      (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

          (B) does not include--
              (i) the program for the construction of the development 
            highway system authorized by section 14501 of this title or

    title is deemed to be constructed with that assistance.
  (b) Purpose.--To enable the people, States, and local communities of 
the Appalachian region, including local development districts, to take 
maximum advantage of federal grant programs for which they are eligible 
but for which, because of their economic situation, they cannot supply 
the required matching share, or for which there are insufficient 
amounts available under the federal law authorizing the programs to 
meet pressing needs of the region, the Federal Cochairman may use 
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
      (2) to increase the federal contribution to projects and 
    activities under the programs above the fixed maximum part of the 
    cost of the projects or activities otherwise authorized by the 
    applicable law.
  (c) Certification Required.--For a program, project, or activity for 
which any part of the basic federal contribution to the project or 
activity under a federal grant program is proposed to be made under 
subsection (b), the contribution shall not be made until the 
responsible federal official administering the federal law authorizing 
the contribution certifies that the program, project, or activity meets 
the applicable requirements of the federal law and could be approved 
for federal contribution under that law if amounts were available under 
the law for the program, project, or activity.
  (d) Limitations in Other Laws Inapplicable.--Amounts provided 
pursuant to this subtitle are available without regard to any 
limitations on areas eligible for assistance or authorizations for 
appropriation in any other law.
  (e) Acceptance of Certain Material.--For a supplemental grant for a 
project or activity under a federal grant program, the Federal 
Cochairman shall accept any finding, report, certification, or 
documentation required to be submitted to the head of the department, 
agency, or instrumentality of the Federal Government responsible for 
the administration of the program.
  (f) Federal Share.--The federal portion of the cost of a project or 
activity shall not--
      (1) be increased to more than the percentages the Commission 
    establishes; nor
      (2) be more than 80 percent of the cost.
  (g) Maximum Commission Contribution.--
      (1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), the Commission may 
    contribute not more than 50 percent of a project or activity cost 
    eligible for financial assistance under this section from amounts 
    appropriated to carry out this subtitle.
      (2) Distressed counties.--The maximum Commission contribution for 
    a project or activity to be carried out in a county for which a

    this title may be increased to 80 percent.

                     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 
shall not be implemented until--
      (1) the responsible federal official has decided that 
    applications and plans relating to the program or project are 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 or 
    political subdivisions or instrumentalities of the State that seek 
    to undertake the project;
      (4) the importance of the project or class of projects in 
    relation to other projects or classes of projects that may be in 
    competition for the same amounts;
      (5) the prospects that the project for which assistance is sought 
    will improve, on a continuing rather than a temporary basis, the 
    opportunities for employment, the average level of income, or the 
    economic and social development of the area served by the project; 
    and
      (6) the extent to which the project design provides for detailed 
    outcome measurements by which grant expenditures may be evaluated.
  (b) Limitation on Use.--Financial assistance made available under 
this subtitle shall not be used to assist establishments relocating 
from one area to another.
  (c) Determination Required Before Amounts May Be Provided.--Amounts 
may be provided for programs and projects in a State under this 
subtitle only if the Commission determines that the level of federal 
and state financial assistance under other laws for the same type of 
programs or projects in that part of the State within the Appalachian 
region will not be diminished in order to substitute amounts authorized 
by this subtitle.
  (d) Minimum Amount of Assistance to Distressed Counties and Areas.--
For each fiscal year, not less than 50 percent of the amount of grant 
expenditures the Commission approves shall support activities or 
projects that benefit severely and persistently distressed counties and 
areas.

Sec. 14525. State development planning process

  (a) State Development Plan.--Pursuant to policies the Appalachian 
Regional Commission establishes, each state member shall submit a 
development plan for the area of the State within the Appalachian 
region. The plan shall--
      (1) be submitted according to a schedule the Commission 
    prescribes;
      (2) reflect the goals, objectives, and priorities identified in 
    the regional development plan and in any subregional development 
    plan that may be approved for the subregion of which the State is a 
    part;
      (3) describe the state organization and continuous process for 
    Appalachian development planning, including--
          (A) the procedures established by the State for the 
        participation of local development districts in the process;
          (B) how the process is related to overall statewide planning 
        and budgeting processes; and
          (C) the method of coordinating planning and projects in the 
        region under this subtitle, the Public Works and Economic 
        Development Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. 3121 et seq.), and other 
        federal, state, and local programs;
      (4) set forth the goals, objectives, and priorities of the State 
    for the region, as established by the Governor, and identify the 
    needs on which the goals, objectives, and priorities are based; and
      (5) describe the development strategies for achieving the goals, 
    objectives, and priorities, including funding sources, and 
    recommendations for specific projects to receive assistance under 
    this subtitle.
  (b) Areawide Action Programs.--The Commission shall encourage the 
preparation and execution of areawide action programs that specify 
interrelated projects and schedules of actions, the necessary agency 
funding, and other commitments to implement the programs. The programs 
shall make appropriate use of existing plans affecting the area.
  (c) Local Development Districts.--Local development districts 
certified by the State as described in section 14102(a)(2) of this 
title provide the linkage between state and substate planning and 
development. The districts shall assist the States in the coordination 
of areawide programs and projects and may prepare and adopt areawide 
plans or action programs. In carrying out the development planning 
process, including the selection of programs and projects for 
assistance, States shall consult with local development districts, 
local units of government, and citizen groups and shall consider the 
goals, objectives, priorities, and recommendations of those bodies.
  (d) Federal Responsibilities.--To the maximum extent practicable, 
federal departments, agencies, and instrumentalities undertaking or 
providing financial assistance for programs or projects in the region 
shall--
      (1) take into account the policies, goals, and objectives the 
    Commission and its member States establish pursuant to this 
    subtitle;
      (2) recognize Appalachian state development strategies approved 
    by the Commission as satisfying requirements for overall economic 
    development planning under the programs or projects; and
      (3) accept the boundaries and organization of any local 
    development district certified under this subtitle that the 
    Governor may designate as the areawide agency required under any of 
    those programs undertaken or assisted by those federal departments, 
    agencies, and instrumentalities.

Sec. 14526. Distressed and economically strong counties

  (a) Designations.--
      (1) In general.--The Appalachian Regional Commission, in 
    accordance with criteria the Commission may establish, each year 
    shall--
          (A) designate as ``distressed counties'' those counties in 
        the Appalachian region that are the most severely and 
        persistently distressed; and
          (B) designate two categories of economically strong counties, 
        consisting of--
              (i) ``competitive counties'', which shall be those 
            counties in the region that are approaching economic parity 
            with the rest of the United States; and
              (ii) ``attainment counties'', which shall be those

    of the project cost.
      (2) Attainment counties.--Except as provided in paragraphs (3)

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.

   CHAPTER 183--NATIONAL CAPITAL AREA INTEREST ARBITRATION STANDARDS

Sec.
18301.  Findings and purposes.
18302.  Definitions.
18303.  Standards for arbitrators.
18304.  Procedures for enforcement of awards.

Sec. 18301. Findings and purposes

  (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:

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

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.

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.

are repealed, except for rights and duties that matured, penalties that 
were incurred, and proceedings that were begun before the date of
