        is added to the economy, the highest multiplier effect of any 
        economic sector.
            (3) Manufacturing supports an estimated 17,400,000 jobs in 
        the United States--about 1 in 6 private-sector jobs. More than 
        12,000,000 Americans (or 9 percent of the workforce) are 
        employed directly in manufacturing.
            (4) In 2012, the average manufacturing worker in the United 
        States earned $77,505 annually, including pay and benefits. The 
        average worker in all industries earned $62,063.
            (5) Taken alone, manufacturing in the United States would 
        be the 8th largest economy in the world.
            (6) Manufacturers in the United States perform two-thirds 
        of all private-sector research and development in the United 
        States, driving more innovation than any other sector.

                is providing substantial reimbursement of such taxes; 
                or
                    (B) the foreign policy interests of the United

        States foreign assistance for such country generally, or an 
        individual agreement between the Government of the United 
        States and such government that describes, among other things,

of availability:  Provided, That such designated funds that continue to 
be available for an additional fiscal year shall be obligated only for 
the purpose of such designation.
    (c) Ceilings and specifically designated funding levels contained

            (1) the Arab League boycott of Israel, and the secondary

        States investment and trade in the Middle East and North 
        Africa;
            (2) the Arab League boycott, which was regrettably

        terminated, and the Central Office for the Boycott of Israel

        recipient country in the boycott when determining to sell

        Israel, including those to encourage allies and trading 
        partners of the United States to enact laws prohibiting

                terrorism and terrorist financing in the West Bank and 
                Gaza, including the dismantling of terrorist 
                infrastructures, and is cooperating with appropriate 
                Israeli and other appropriate security organizations;

        enable Israel and an independent Palestinian state to exist

        lane that is converted to a toll lane shall not be subject to 
        this section, and shall not be considered to be a nontoll lane 
        for purposes of determining whether a highway will have fewer 
        nontoll lanes than prior to the date of imposition of the toll, 
        if--
                    (A) high-occupancy vehicles occupied by the number 
                of passengers specified by the entity operating the

                approved by the appropriate county, town, municipal or 
                other local government entity, or public toll road or

    (b) Phased Transfers.--Transfers of project-based assistance under 
this section may be done in phases to accommodate the financing and

    (c) The transfer authorized in subsection (a) is subject to the 
following conditions:
            (1) Number and bedroom size of units.--
                    (A) For occupied units in the transferring project:

                the transferring project shall remain the same in the 
                receiving project or projects.
                    (B) For unoccupied units in the transferring 
                project: the Secretary may authorize a reduction in the 
                number of dwelling units in the receiving project or 
                projects to allow for a reconfiguration of bedroom 
                sizes to meet current market demands, as determined by 
                the Secretary and provided there is no increase in the 
                project-based assistance budget authority.
            (2) The transferring project shall, as determined by the 
        Secretary, be either physically obsolete or economically 
        nonviable.
            (3) The receiving project or projects shall meet or exceed 
        applicable physical standards established by the Secretary.
            (4) The owner or mortgagor of the transferring project

        transferring project and provide a certification of approval by 
        all appropriate local governmental officials.
            (5) The tenants of the transferring project who remain 
        eligible for assistance to be provided by the receiving project 
        or projects shall not be required to vacate their units in the 
        transferring project or projects until new units in the 
        receiving project are available for occupancy.
            (6) The Secretary determines that this transfer is in the 
        best interest of the tenants.
            (7) If either the transferring project or the receiving 
        project or projects meets the condition specified in subsection 
        (d)(2)(A), any lien on the receiving project resulting from 
        additional financing obtained by the owner shall be subordinate 
        to any FHA-insured mortgage lien transferred to, or placed on, 
        such project by the Secretary, except that the Secretary may 
        waive this requirement upon determination that such a waiver is 
        necessary to facilitate the financing of acquisition, 
        construction, and/or rehabilitation of the receiving project or 
        projects.
            (8) If the transferring project meets the requirements of 
        subsection (d)(2), the owner or mortgagor of the receiving 
        project or projects shall execute and record either a 
        continuation of the existing use agreement or a new use 
        agreement for the project where, in either case, any use 
        restrictions in such agreement are of no lesser duration than 
        the existing use restrictions.
            (9) The transfer does not increase the cost (as defined in 
        section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as 
        amended) of any FHA-insured mortgage, except to the extent that 
        appropriations are provided in advance for the amount of any 
        such increased cost.

determines, in consultation with the tenants and the local government, 
that such a multifamily property owned or held by the Secretary is not

based contracts remain in effect prior to foreclosure, subject to the 
exercise of contractual abatement remedies to assist relocation of 
tenants for imminent major threats to health and safety after written 
notice to and informed consent of the affected tenants and use of other 
available remedies, such as partial abatements or receivership. After

subject to the requirements under section 524 of MAHRAA.

                    (D) seek judicial appointment of a receiver to 
                manage the property and cure all project deficiencies

    (c) The Secretary shall also take appropriate steps to ensure that 
project-based contracts remain in effect, subject to the exercise of 
contractual abatement remedies to assist relocation of tenants for 
imminent major threats to health and safety after written notice to and 
informed consent of the affected tenants and use of other remedies set 
forth above. To the extent the Secretary determines, in consultation 
with the tenants and the local government, that the property is not 
feasible for continued rental assistance payments under such section 8 
or other programs, based on consideration of (1) the costs of 
rehabilitating and operating the property and all available Federal, 
State, and local resources, including rent adjustments under section 
524 of the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 
1997 (``MAHRAA'') and (2) environmental conditions that cannot be 
remedied in a cost-effective fashion, the Secretary may, in 
consultation with the tenants of that property, contract for project-
based rental assistance payments with an owner or owners of other 
existing housing properties, or provide other rental assistance. The 
Secretary shall report semi-annually on all properties covered by this 
section that are assessed through the Real Estate Assessment Center and 
have physical inspection scores of less than 30 or have consecutive 
physical inspection scores of less than 60. The report shall include:
            (1) The enforcement actions being taken to address such 
        conditions, including imposition of civil money penalties and 
        termination of subsidies, and identify properties that have 
        such conditions multiple times; and

        Development is taking to protect tenants of such identified 
        properties.

                 Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation

    For payment to the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation for use in 
neighborhood reinvestment activities, as authorized by the Neighborhood 
Reinvestment Corporation Act (42 U.S.C. 8101-8107), $135,000,000, of 
which $5,000,000 shall be for a multi-family rental housing program:  
Provided, That in addition, $50,000,000 shall be made available until 
expended to the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation for mortgage 
foreclosure mitigation activities, under the following terms and 
conditions:
            (1) The Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation (``NRC'') 
        shall make grants to counseling intermediaries approved by the 
        Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) (with match 
        to be determined by the NRC based on affordability and the 
        economic conditions of an area; a match also may be waived by 
        the NRC based on the aforementioned conditions) to provide 
        mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance primarily to States 
        and areas with high rates of defaults and foreclosures to help 
        eliminate the default and foreclosure of mortgages of owner-
        occupied single-family homes that are at risk of such 
        foreclosure. Other than areas with high rates of defaults and 
        foreclosures, grants may also be provided to approved 
        counseling intermediaries based on a geographic analysis of the 
        Nation by the NRC which determines where there is a prevalence 
        of mortgages that are risky and likely to fail, including any 
        trends for mortgages that are likely to default and face 
        foreclosure. A State Housing Finance Agency may also be 
        eligible where the State Housing Finance Agency meets all the 
        requirements under this paragraph. A HUD-approved counseling 
        intermediary shall meet certain mortgage foreclosure mitigation 
        assistance counseling requirements, as determined by the NRC, 
        and shall be approved by HUD or the NRC as meeting these 
        requirements.
            (2) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance shall only 
        be made available to homeowners of owner-occupied homes with 
        mortgages in default or in danger of default. These mortgages 
        shall likely be subject to a foreclosure action and homeowners 
        will be provided such assistance that shall consist of 
        activities that are likely to prevent foreclosures and result 
        in the long-term affordability of the mortgage retained 
        pursuant to such activity or another positive outcome for the 
        homeowner. No funds made available under this paragraph may be 
        provided directly to lenders or homeowners to discharge 
        outstanding mortgage balances or for any other direct debt 
        reduction payments.
            (3) The use of mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance 
        by approved counseling intermediaries and State Housing Finance 
        Agencies shall involve a reasonable analysis of the borrower's 
        financial situation, an evaluation of the current value of the 
        property that is subject to the mortgage, counseling regarding 
        the assumption of the mortgage by another non-Federal party, 
        counseling regarding the possible purchase of the mortgage by a 
        non-Federal third party, counseling and advice of all likely 
        restructuring and refinancing strategies or the approval of a 
        work-out strategy by all interested parties.
            (4) NRC may provide up to 15 percent of the total funds 
        under this paragraph to its own charter members with expertise 
        in foreclosure prevention counseling, subject to a 
        certification by the NRC that the procedures for selection do 
        not consist of any procedures or activities that could be 
        construed as a conflict of interest or have the appearance of 
        impropriety.
            (5) HUD-approved counseling entities and State Housing 
        Finance Agencies receiving funds under this paragraph shall 
        have demonstrated experience in successfully working with 
        financial institutions as well as borrowers facing default, 
        delinquency and foreclosure as well as documented counseling 
        capacity, outreach capacity, past successful performance and 
        positive outcomes with documented counseling plans (including 
        post mortgage foreclosure mitigation counseling), loan workout 
        agreements and loan modification agreements. NRC may use other 
        criteria to demonstrate capacity in underserved areas.
            (6) Of the total amount made available under this 
        paragraph, up to $2,500,000 may be made available to build the 
        mortgage foreclosure and default mitigation counseling capacity 
        of counseling intermediaries through NRC training courses with 
        HUD-approved counseling intermediaries and their partners, 
        except that private financial institutions that participate in 
        NRC training shall pay market rates for such training.
            (7) Of the total amount made available under this 
        paragraph, up to 5 percent may be used for associated 
        administrative expenses for the NRC to carry out activities 
        provided under this section.
            (8) Of the total amount made available under this 
        paragraph, up to $4,000,000 may be used for wind-down and 
        closeout of the mortgage foreclosure mitigation activities 
        program.
            (9) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance grants may 
        include a budget for outreach and advertising, and training, as 
        determined by the NRC.
            (10) The NRC shall continue to report bi-annually to the 
        House and Senate Committees on Appropriations as well as the 
        Senate Banking Committee and House Financial Services Committee 
        on its efforts to mitigate mortgage default.

        of minimum essential coverage under such section 5000A(f) by 
        reference:
                    (A) An expatriate health plan offered to primary 
                enrollees who are described in subsections (d)(3)(A) 
                and (d)(3)(B) of this section shall be treated as an

                such Code.
                    (B) An expatriate health plan offered to primary 
                enrollees who are described in subsection (d)(3)(C) of

                such section with respect to such issuer for each such 
                year, less the amount of premiums for expatriate health 
                plans taken into account under such section with 
                respect to such issuer for each such year, bears to
                    (B) the amount of premiums taken into account under 
                such section with respect to such issuer for each such 
                year.

                previous sentence, an individual shall not be

                        individual was transferred or assigned

                        designate (after taking into account the 
                        barriers and prohibitions to providing health 
                        care services in the countries as designated);
                            (ii) in the case of individuals described 
                        in paragraph (3)(B), in the country or 
                        countries in which the individual is present in 
                        connection with the individual's employment, 
                        and such other country or countries as the

                individual is the child of a child receiving dependent 
                coverage.

                        promulgated thereunder)), has licenses to sell

        applicable plan shall not be treated as failing to meet any 
        requirement of this title, or as failing to have a uniform 
        normal retirement age for purposes of this title, solely 
        because the plan provides for a normal retirement age described 
        in paragraph (2).

                    ``(A) In general.--The term `applicable plan' means

                A plan shall not fail to be treated as an applicable 
                plan solely because the normal retirement age described 
                in the preceding sentence only applied to certain 
                participants or only applied to employees of certain 
                employers in the case of a plan maintained by more than

                        participant in such plan after such date.''.
