                        under paragraph (2)(D), except that the 
                        exception under clauses (i) and (ii) shall not

                                such class are unduly burdensome given 
                                the revenues generated by such small

Section 227(b)(2) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 
227(b)(2)), as amended by subsection (c), is further amended by adding 
at the end the following:

                unsolicited advertisements to their members in 
                furtherance of the association's tax-exempt purpose

                        associations from sending any future

    (f) Authority To Establish Time Limit on Established Business 
Relationship Exception.--Section 227(b)(2) of the Communications Act of 
1934 (47 U.S.C. 227(b)(2)), as amended by subsections (c), (d), and (e) 
of this section, is further amended by adding at the end the following:
                    ``(G)(i) may, consistent with clause (ii), limit 
                the duration of the existence of an established

                occurrence of an action sufficient to establish such a 
                relationship, but only if--

                        (1)(C) relating to an established business 
                        relationship has resulted in a significant 
                        number of complaints to the Commission 
                        regarding the sending of unsolicited 
                        advertisements to telephone facsimile machines;

                        of such complaints involve unsolicited 
                        advertisements that were sent on the basis of 
                        an established business relationship that was 
                        longer in duration than the Commission believes 
                        is consistent with the reasonable expectations 
                        of consumers;

                        of an established business relationship within 
                        a specified period of time do not outweigh the 
                        benefits to recipients of establishing a 
                        limitation on such established business 
                        relationship; and
                            ``(IV) the Commission determines that, with 
                        respect to small businesses, the costs are not 
                        unduly burdensome, given the revenues generated 
                        by small businesses, and taking into account 
                        the number of specific complaints to the 
                        Commission regarding the sending of unsolicited 
                        advertisements to telephone facsimile machines 
                        by small businesses; and
                    ``(ii) may not commence a proceeding to determine 
                whether to limit the duration of the existence of an 
                established business relationship before the expiration 
                of the 3-year period that begins on the date of the 
                enactment of the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2004.''.
    (g) Unsolicited Advertisement.--Section 227(a)(5) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as so redesignated by subsection (b)(1), is 
amended by inserting ``, in writing or otherwise'' before the period at 
the end.
    (h) Regulations.--Except as provided in section 227(b)(2)(G)(ii) of 
the Communications Act of 1934 (as added by subsection (f)), not later 
than 270 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Federal 
Communications Commission shall issue regulations to implement the 
amendments made by this section.

    (a) In General.--The Comptroller General of the United States shall 
conduct a study regarding complaints received by the Federal 
Communications Commission concerning unsolicited advertisements sent to 
telephone facsimile machines, which study shall determine--
            (1) the mechanisms established by the Commission to 
        receive, investigate, and respond to such complaints;
            (2) the level of enforcement success achieved by the 
        Commission regarding such complaints;
            (3) whether complainants to the Commission are adequately 
        informed by the Commission of the responses to their 
        complaints; and
            (4) whether additional enforcement measures are necessary 
        to protect consumers, including recommendations regarding such 
        additional enforcement measures.
    (b) Additional Enforcement Remedies.--In conducting the analysis 
and making the recommendations required under subsection (a)(4), the

            (4) whether increasing the amount of financial penalties is 
        warranted to achieve greater deterrent effect; and
            (5) whether establishing penalties and enforcement actions 
        for repeat violators or abusive violations similar to those 
        established under section 1037 of title 18, United States Code, 
        would have a greater deterrent effect.

the results of the study under this section to Committee on Energy and 
Commerce of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce,

SEC. 814. AMENDMENT TO TITLE 18, UNITED STATES CODE.

    (a) Sentencing Enhancement.--Section 3559 of title 18, United 
States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
    ``(f)(1) If a defendant who is convicted of a felony offense (other 
than offense of which an element is the false registration of a domain 
name) knowingly falsely registered a domain name and knowingly used 
that domain name in the course of that offense, the maximum 
imprisonment otherwise provided by law for that offense shall be 
doubled or increased by 7 years, whichever is less.
    ``(2) As used in this subsection--
            ``(A) the term `falsely registers' means registers in a 
        manner that prevents the effective identification of or contact 
        with the person who registers; and
            ``(B) the term `domain name' has the meaning given that 
        term in section 45 of the Act entitled `An Act to provide for 
        the registration and protection of trademarks used in commerce, 
        to carry out the provisions of certain international 
        conventions, and for other purposes' approved July 5, 1946 
        (commonly referred to as the `Trademark Act of 1946') (15 
        U.S.C. 1127).''.
    (b) United States Sentencing Commission.--
            (1) Directive.--Pursuant to its authority under section 
        994(p) of title 28, United States Code, and in accordance with 
        this section, the United States Sentencing Commission shall 
        review and amend the sentencing guidelines and policy 
        statements to ensure that the applicable guideline range for a 
        defendant convicted of any felony offense carried out online 
        that may be facilitated through the use of a domain name 
        registered with materially false contact information is 
        sufficiently stringent to deter commission of such acts.
            (2) Requirements.--In carrying out this subsection, the 
        Sentencing Commission shall provide sentencing enhancements for 
        anyone convicted of any felony offense furthered through 
        knowingly providing or knowingly causing to be provided 
        materially false contact information to a domain name 
        registrar, domain name registry, or other domain name 
        registration authority in registering, maintaining, or renewing 
        a domain name used in connection with the violation.
            (3) Definition.--For purposes of this subsection, the term 
        ``domain name'' has the meaning given that term in section 45 
        of the Act entitled ``An Act to provide for the registration 
        and protection of trademarks used in commerce, to carry out the 
        provisions of certain international conventions, and for other 
        purposes'', approved July 5, 1946 (commonly referred to as the

subtitle shall restrict the discretion of a court in determining 
damages or other relief to be assessed against a person found liable 
for the infringement of intellectual property rights.
    (c) Discretion of Courts in Determining Terms of Imprisonment.--
Nothing in this subtitle shall be construed to limit the discretion of
