accessing facilities (as defined under section 70101 of title 46, 
United States Code), the Commandant of the Coast Guard may, to the 
extent practicable and consistent with the protocols and plans required 
under this section to ensure the safe and secure transit of vessels to 
ports in the United States after a transportation security incident, 
give priority to a vessel--
        (1) that has an approved security plan under section 70103(c) 
    of title 46, United States Code, or a valid international ship 
    security certificate, as provided under part 104 of title 33, Code

            (B) an x-ray, density, or other imaging scan; and
            (C) a system to positively identify the container at the 
        last port of departure prior to arrival in the United States, 
        which data has been evaluated and analyzed by personnel of the 
        United States Customs and Border Protection.
    (d) Coordination.--The Secretary shall ensure that there is 
appropriate coordination among the Commandant of the Coast Guard, the 
Commissioner, and other Federal officials following a maritime 
disruption or maritime transportation security incident in order to 
provide for the resumption of trade.
    (e) Communication.--Consistent with section 201, the Commandant of 
the Coast Guard, Commissioner, and other appropriate Federal officials, 
shall promptly communicate any revised procedures or instructions 
intended for the private sector following a maritime disruption or 
maritime transportation security incident.

    movement of a shipment of cargo through the international supply 
    chain; and
        (2) analyze the data described in paragraph (1) to identify 
    high-risk cargo for inspection.
    (b) Requirement.--The Secretary, acting through the Commissioner, 
shall require the electronic transmission to the Department of 
additional data elements for improved high-risk targeting, including 
appropriate security elements of entry data, as determined by the 
Secretary, to be provided as advanced information with respect to cargo 
destined for importation into the United States prior to loading of 
such cargo on vessels at foreign seaports.
    (c) Consideration.--The Secretary, acting through the Commissioner, 
shall--
        (1) consider the cost, benefit, and feasibility of--
            (A) requiring additional nonmanifest documentation;
            (B) reducing the time period allowed by law for revisions 
        to a container cargo manifest;

        for improving the information relied upon for the Automated 
        Targeting System and any successor targeting system in 
        furthering the security and integrity of the international 
        supply chain; and

    Operations Advisory Committee, and identify to them the need for 
    such information, and the appropriate timing of its submission.
    (d) Regulations.--The Secretary shall promulgate regulations to 
carry out this section. In promulgating such regulations, the Secretary 
shall adhere to the parameters applicable to the development of 
regulations under section 343(a) of the Trade Act of 2002 (19 U.S.C.

    (e) System Improvements.--The Secretary, acting through the 
Commissioner, shall--
        (1) conduct, through an independent panel, a review of the 
    effectiveness and capabilities of the Automated Targeting System;
        (2) consider future iterations of the Automated Targeting 
    System, which would incorporate smart features, such as more 
    complex algorithms and real-time intelligence, instead of relying 
    solely on rule sets that are periodically updated;
        (3) ensure that the Automated Targeting System has the 
    capability to electronically compare manifest and other available 
    data for cargo entered into or bound for the United States to 
    detect any significant anomalies between such data and facilitate 
    the resolution of such anomalies;
        (4) ensure that the Automated Targeting System has the 
    capability to electronically identify, compile, and compare select 
    data elements for cargo entered into or bound for the United States 
    following a maritime transportation security incident, in order to 
    efficiently identify cargo for increased inspection or expeditious 
    release; and
        (5) develop a schedule to address the recommendations of the 
    Comptroller General of the United States, the Inspector General of 
    the Department of the Treasury, and the Inspector General of the 
    Department with respect to the operation of the Automated Targeting 
    System.
    (f) Secure Transmission of Certain Information.--All information 
required by the Department from supply chain partners shall be 
transmitted in a secure fashion, as determined by the Secretary, so as 
to protect the information from unauthorized access.

movement of international cargo.
    (j) Lesser Risk Port.--The Secretary, acting through the 
Commissioner, may treat cargo loaded in a foreign seaport designated

    This title may be cited as the ``Unlawful Internet Gambling 
Enforcement Act of 2006''.
    SEC. 802. PROHIBITION ON ACCEPTANCE OF ANY PAYMENT INSTRUMENT FOR 
      UNLAWFUL INTERNET GAMBLING.
    (a) In General.--Chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code, is 
amended by adding at the end the following:

 ``SUBCHAPTER IV--PROHIBITION ON FUNDING OF UNLAWFUL INTERNET GAMBLING

``Sec. 5361. Congressional findings and purpose

    ``(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
        ``(1) Internet gambling is primarily funded through personal 
    use of payment system instruments, credit cards, and wire 
    transfers.
        ``(2) The National Gambling Impact Study Commission in 1999 
    recommended the passage of legislation to prohibit wire transfers 
    to Internet gambling sites or the banks which represent such sites.
        ``(3) Internet gambling is a growing cause of debt collection 
    problems for insured depository institutions and the consumer 
    credit industry.
        ``(4) New mechanisms for enforcing gambling laws on the 
    Internet are necessary because traditional law enforcement 
    mechanisms are often inadequate for enforcing gambling prohibitions 
    or regulations on the Internet, especially where such gambling 
    crosses State or national borders.
    ``(b) Rule of Construction.--No provision of this subchapter shall 
be construed as altering, limiting, or extending any Federal or State 
law or Tribal-State compact prohibiting, permitting, or regulating 
gambling within the United States.

        ``(1) Bet or wager.--The term `bet or wager'--
