Bureau-funded school, comply with all applicable Tribal, Federal, or 
State health and safety standards, and the Americans with Disabilities 
Act, and demonstrate the benefits of establishing operations at a 
satellite location in lieu of incurring extraordinary costs, such as

                effective arrangement that is providing substantial 
                reimbursement of such taxes; or
                    (B) the foreign policy interests of the United 
                States outweigh the purpose of this section to ensure

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

        under that agreement.
            (2) Taxes and taxation.--The term ``taxes and taxation''

this or any other Act may be extended for an additional fiscal year if 
the Secretary of State or the USAID Administrator, as appropriate, 
determines and reports promptly to the Committees on Appropriations 
that the termination of assistance to a country or a significant change 
in circumstances makes it unlikely that such designated funds can be 
obligated during the original period 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) Other Acts.--Ceilings and specifically designated funding 
levels contained in this Act shall not be applicable to funds or

        agreements, from the agencies' calendar year 2023 MTW funding 
        allocation:  Provided further, That the Secretary shall use any 
        offset referred to in the preceding two provisos throughout the

by the Secretary and statutorily required low-income and very low-
income use restrictions if any, associated with one or more multifamily 
housing project or projects to another multifamily housing project or 
projects.
    (b) Phased Transfers.--Transfers of project-based assistance under 
this section may be done in phases to accommodate the financing and 
other requirements related to rehabilitating or constructing the 
project or projects to which the assistance is transferred, to ensure 
that such project or projects meet the standards under subsection (c).
    (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 number of low-income and very low-income units and 
                the configuration (i.e., bedroom size) provided by the 
                transferring project shall be no less than when 
                transferred to the receiving project or projects and 
                the net dollar amount of Federal assistance provided to 
                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, or be reasonably expected to become economically 
        nonviable when complying with State or Federal requirements for 
        community integration and reduced concentration of individuals 
        with disabilities.
            (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 
        shall notify and consult with the tenants residing in the 
        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 (2 U.S.C. 
        661a)) of any FHA-insured mortgage, except to the extent that 
        appropriations are provided in advance for the amount of any 
        such increased cost.

    Sec. 212.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in fiscal 
year 2023, in managing and disposing of any multifamily property that

States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f) or any other Federal 
programs, the Secretary shall maintain any rental assistance payments 
under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 and other 
programs that are attached to any dwelling units in the property. To 
the extent the Secretary determines, in consultation with the tenants 
and the local government that such a multifamily property owned or 
having a mortgage held by the Secretary 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 (in this section

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 also take appropriate steps to ensure that project-
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 
disposition of any multifamily property described in this section, the 
contract and allowable rent levels on such properties shall be subject 
to the requirements under section 524 of MAHRAA.
    Sec. 213.  Public housing agencies that own and operate 400 or 
fewer public housing units may elect to be exempt from any asset 
management requirement imposed by the Secretary in connection with the 
operating fund rule:  Provided, That an agency seeking a discontinuance 
of a reduction of subsidy under the operating fund formula shall not be 
exempt from asset management requirements.

management of public housing as authorized by sections 9(d) and 9(e) of 
the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g(d),(e)), the 
Secretary shall not impose any requirement or guideline relating to 
asset management that restricts or limits in any way the use of capital 
funds for central office costs pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) of 
section 9(g) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 
1437g(g)(1), (2)):  Provided, That a public housing agency may not use 
capital funds authorized under section 9(d) for activities that are 
eligible under section 9(e) for assistance with amounts from the 
operating fund in excess of the amounts permitted under paragraph (1) 
or (2) of section 9(g).
    Sec. 215.  No official or employee of the Department of Housing and 
Urban Development shall be designated as an allotment holder unless the 
Office of the Chief Financial Officer has determined that such 
allotment holder has implemented an adequate system of funds control 
and has received training in funds control procedures and directives. 
The Chief Financial Officer shall ensure that there is a trained 
allotment holder for each HUD appropriation under the accounts 
``Executive Offices'', ``Administrative Support Offices'', ``Program 
Offices'', ``Government National Mortgage Association--Guarantees of 
Mortgage-Backed Securities Loan Guarantee Program Account'', and 
``Office of Inspector General'' within the Department of Housing and 
Urban Development.
    Sec. 216.  The Secretary shall, for fiscal year 2023, notify the 
public through the Federal Register and other means, as determined 
appropriate, of the issuance of a notice of the availability of 
assistance or notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for any program or 
discretionary fund administered by the Secretary that is to be 
competitively awarded. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for 
fiscal year 2023, the Secretary may make the NOFO available only on the 
Internet at the appropriate Government website or through other 
electronic media, as determined by the Secretary.
    Sec. 217.  Payment of attorney fees in program-related litigation 
shall be paid from the individual program office and Office of General 
Counsel salaries and expenses appropriations.
    Sec. 218.  The Secretary is authorized to transfer up to 10 percent 
or $5,000,000, whichever is less, of funds appropriated for any office 
under the headings ``Administrative Support Offices'' or ``Program 
Offices'' to any other such office under such headings:  Provided, That 
no appropriation for any such office under such headings shall be 
increased or decreased by more than 10 percent or $5,000,000, whichever 
is less, without prior written approval of the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations:  Provided further, That the Secretary 
shall provide notification to such Committees 3 business days in 
advance of any such transfers under this section up to 10 percent or 
$5,000,000, whichever is less.
    Sec. 219. (a) Any entity receiving housing assistance payments 
shall maintain decent, safe, and sanitary conditions, as determined by 
the Secretary, and comply with any standards under applicable State or 
local laws, rules, ordinances, or regulations relating to the physical 
condition of any property covered under a housing assistance payment 
contract.
    (b) The Secretary shall take action under subsection (c) when a 
multifamily housing project with a contract under section 8 of the 
United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f) or a contract for 
similar project-based assistance--
            (1) receives a Uniform Physical Condition Standards (UPCS) 
        score of 59 or less; or
            (2) fails to certify in writing to the Secretary within 3 
        days that all Exigent Health and Safety deficiencies identified 
        by the inspector at the project have been corrected.
    Such requirements shall apply to insured and noninsured projects 
with assistance attached to the units under section 8 of the United 
States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f), but shall not apply to 
such units assisted under section 8(o)(13) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 
1437f(o)(13)) or to public housing units assisted with capital or 
operating funds under section 9 of the United States Housing Act of 
1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g).
    (c)(1) Within 15 days of the issuance of the Real Estate Assessment

with a Notice of Default with a specified timetable, determined by the 
Secretary, for correcting all deficiencies. The Secretary shall provide 
a copy of the Notice of Default to the tenants, the local government, 
any mortgagees, and any contract administrator. If the owner's appeal 
results in a UPCS score of 60 or above, the Secretary may withdraw the 
Notice of Default.
    (2) At the end of the time period for correcting all deficiencies 
specified in the Notice of Default, if the owner fails to fully correct 
such deficiencies, the Secretary may--
            (A) require immediate replacement of project management 
        with a management agent approved by the Secretary;
            (B) impose civil money penalties, which shall be used 
        solely for the purpose of supporting safe and sanitary 
        conditions at applicable properties, as designated by the 
        Secretary, with priority given to the tenants of the property 
        affected by the penalty;
            (C) abate the section 8 contract, including partial 
        abatement, as determined by the Secretary, until all 
        deficiencies have been corrected;
            (D) pursue transfer of the project to an owner, approved by

        project deficiencies;
            (H) work with the owner, lender, or other related party to 
        stabilize the property in an attempt to preserve the property 
        through compliance, transfer of ownership, or an infusion of 
        capital provided by a third-party that requires time to 
        effectuate; or
            (I) take any other regulatory or contractual remedies 
        available as deemed necessary and appropriate by the Secretary.
    (d) The Secretary shall 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 
major threats to health and safety after written notice to the affected 
tenants. 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

        assistance.

time during any public housing agency fiscal year 2023.
    Sec. 221.  None of the funds made available by this Act and 
provided to the Department of Housing and Urban Development may be used

before any project, State, locality, housing authority, Tribe, 
nonprofit organization, or other entity selected to receive a grant 
award is announced by the Department or its offices:  Provided, That 
such notification shall list each grant award by State and 
congressional district.
    Sec. 222.  None of the funds made available in this Act shall be 
used by the Federal Housing Administration, the Government National 
Mortgage Association, or the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development to insure, securitize, or establish a Federal guarantee of 
any mortgage or mortgage backed security that refinances or otherwise 
replaces a mortgage that has been subject to eminent domain 
condemnation or seizure, by a State, municipality, or any other 
political subdivision of a State.
    Sec. 223.  None of the funds made available by this Act may be used

for a formula allocation cycle pursuant to applicable statutes and 
regulations, the Secretary may adjust for any such funding error in the 
next applicable formula allocation cycle by (a) offsetting each such 
recipient's formula allocation (if eligible for a formula allocation in 
the next applicable formula allocation cycle) by the amount of any such 
funding error, and (b) reallocating any available balances that are 
attributable to the offset to the recipient or recipients that would 
have been allocated additional funds in the formula allocation cycle in 
which any such error occurred (if such recipient or recipients are 
eligible for a formula allocation in the next applicable formula 
allocation cycle) in an amount proportionate to such recipient's 
eligibility under the next applicable formula allocation cycle:

balances shall be recorded against funds available for the next 
applicable formula allocation cycle:  Provided further, That the term 
``next applicable formula allocation cycle'' means the first formula

to all Federal resources available to the recipient for the same grant 
purposes, the Secretary determines that the offset in the next 
applicable formula allocation cycle would critically impair the 
recipient's ability to accomplish the purpose of the formula grant, the 
Secretary may adjust for the funding error across two or more formula 
allocation cycles.

Act''.

SEC. 302. PURPOSES.

     The purposes of this title are--
            (1) to ensure that Pacific salmon trends in Alaska 
        regarding productivity and abundance are characterized and that 
        research needs are identified;
            (2) to prioritize scientific research needs for Pacific 
        salmon in Alaska;
            (3) to address the increased variability or decline in 
        Pacific salmon returns in Alaska by creating a coordinated 
        salmon research strategy; and
            (4) to support collaboration and coordination for Pacific 
        salmon conservation efforts in Alaska.

SEC. 303. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) salmon are an essential part of Alaska's fisheries, 
        including subsistence, commercial, and recreational uses, and 
        there is an urgent need to better understand the freshwater and 
        marine biology and ecology of salmon, a migratory species that 
        crosses many borders, and for a coordinated salmon research 
        strategy to address salmon returns that are in decline or 
        experiencing increased variability;
            (2) salmon are an essential element for the well-being and 
        health of Alaskans; and
            (3) there is a unique relationship between people of 
        Indigenous heritage and the salmon they rely on for subsistence 
        and traditional and cultural practices.

        The Secretary of the Treasury shall pay to each possession of 
        the United States which has a mirror code tax system amounts 
        equal to the loss (if any) to that possession by reason of the 
        amendments made by this section. Such amounts shall be 
        determined by the Secretary of the Treasury based on 
        information provided by the government of the respective 
        possession.
            (2) Payments to other possessions.--The Secretary of the 
        Treasury shall pay to each possession of the United States 
        which does not have a mirror code tax system amounts estimated 
        by the Secretary of the Treasury as being equal to the 
        aggregate benefits (if any) that would have been provided to 
        eligible residents of such possession by reason of the 
        amendments made by this section if a mirror code tax system had 
        been in effect in such possession. The preceding sentence shall 
        not apply unless the respective possession has a process, which 
        has been approved by the Secretary of the Treasury, under which 
        such possession promptly transfers the payments directly on 
        behalf of eligible residents to a retirement savings vehicle 
        established under the laws of such possession or the United 
        States that is substantially similar to a plan, or is a plan, 
        described in clause (iii), (iv), (v), or (vi) of section 
        402(c)(8)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or an 
        individual retirement plan, and the restrictions on 
        distributions from such retirement savings vehicle are 
        substantially similar to the provisions of section 6433(d)(2) 
        of such Code (as added by this section).
            (3) Coordination with united states saver's match.--No 
        matching contribution shall be allowed under section 6433 of 
        the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as added by this section) to 
        any person--
                    (A) to whom a matching contribution is paid by the 
                possession by reason of the amendments made by this 
                section, or
                    (B) who is eligible for a payment under a plan 
                described in paragraph (2).
            (4) Mirror code tax system.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, the term ``mirror code tax system'' means, with 
        respect to any possession of the United States, the income tax 
        system of such possession if the income tax liability of the 
        residents of such possession under such system is determined by 
        reference to the income tax laws of the United States as if 
        such possession were the United States.
            (5) Treatment of payments.--For purposes of section 1324 of 
        title 31, United States Code, the payments under this 
        subsection shall be treated in the same manner as a refund due 
        from a credit provision referred to in subsection (b)(2) of 
        such section.
    (c) Administrative Provisions.--
            (1) Deficiencies.--Section 6211(b)(4) is amended by 
        striking ``and 7527A'' and inserting ``7527A, and 6433''.
            (2) Reporting.--The Secretary of the Treasury shall amend 
        the forms relating to reports required under section 6058 of 
        the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to require--
                    (A) separate reporting of the aggregate amount of 
                contributions received by the plan during the year 
                under section 6433 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
                (as added by this section), and
                    (B) similar reporting with respect to individual 
                retirement accounts (as defined in section 408 of such 
                Code) and individual retirement annuities (as defined 
                in section 408(b) of such Code).
    (d) Payment Authority.--Section 1324(b)(2) of title 31, United 
States Code, is amended by striking ``or 7527A'' and inserting ``7527A, 
or 6433''.
    (e) Conforming Amendments.--
            (1) Paragraph (1) of section 25B(d) is amended by striking 
        ``the sum of--'' and all that follows through ``the amount of 
        contributions made before January 1, 2026'' and inserting ``the 
        amount of contributions made before January 1, 2026''.

                        reference to the most recent American Community 
                        Survey of the Bureau of the Census), and

                such contract being purchased under a plan maintained 
                by more than 1 employer.

to meet multiple employer plan requirements.

        include language that requires participating employers be 
        notified that the plan is subject to the Employee Retirement 
        Income Security Act of 1974 and that such employer is a plan 
        sponsor with respect to its employees participating in the 
        multiple employer plan and, as such, has certain fiduciary 
        duties with respect to the plan and to its employees.

        employees by a State, a political subdivision of a State, or an 
        agency or instrumentality of any one or more of the foregoing), 
        the Secretary of the Treasury (or the Secretary's delegate), in

        1986, and which are exempt from tax under section 501(a) of 
        such Code, that multiple employer plans are subject to the 
        Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and that such 
        employer is a plan sponsor with respect to its employees 
        participating in the multiple employer plan and, as such, has 
        certain fiduciary duties with respect to the plan and to its

        the proper treatment of a failure to meet any requirement 
        applicable under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with respect 
        to one employer (and its employees) in the case of a plan to

        individual's account balance, and to make such corresponding 
        changes to the regulations and related forms as are necessary 
        to reflect the elimination of this requirement.

                    (A) In general.--The Secretary (or delegate) shall 
                amend Q&A-17(b)(2)(i) of Treas. Reg. section

                corresponding changes to the regulations and related 
                forms as are necessary to reflect this increase in the 
                dollar limitation.

                second year following the year of enactment of this 
                Act, the $200,000 dollar limitation (as increased by 
                subparagraph (A)) will be adjusted at the same time and 
                in the same manner as the limits are adjusted under 
                section 415(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 
                except that the base period shall be the calendar 
                quarter beginning July 1 of the year of enactment of 
                this Act, and any increase to such dollar limitation 
                which is not a multiple of $10,000 will be rounded to 
                the next lowest multiple of $10,000.
            (3) Facilitate joint and survivor benefits.--The Secretary 
        (or delegate) shall amend Q&A-17(c) of Treas. Reg. section 
        1.401(a)(9)-6, and make such corresponding changes to the 
        regulations and related forms as are necessary, to provide 
        that, in the case of a qualifying longevity annuity contract 
        which was purchased with joint and survivor annuity benefits 
        for the individual and the individual's spouse which were 
        permissible under the regulations at the time the contract was 
        originally purchased, a divorce occurring after the original 
        purchase and before the annuity payments commence under the 
        contract will not affect the permissibility of the joint and 
        survivor annuity benefits or other benefits under the contract, 
        or require any adjustment to the amount or duration of benefits 
        payable under the contract, provided that any qualified 
        domestic relations order (within the meaning of section 414(p) 
        of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) or, in the case of an 
        arrangement not subject to section 414(p) of such Code or

                under the contract.
            (4) Permit short free look period.--The Secretary (or 
        delegate) shall amend Q&A-17(a)(4) of Treas. Reg. section 
        1.401(a)(9)-6 to ensure that such Q&A does not preclude a 
        contract from including a provision under which an employee may 
        rescind the purchase of the contract within a period not

        payments are made in accordance with Treas. Reg. section 
        1.401(a)(9)-6.
            (2) Annuity amount.--The term ``annuity amount'', with 
        respect to a year, is the total amount distributed in the year 
        from all annuity contracts described in paragraph (1).
    (c) Conforming Regulatory Amendments.--The Secretary of the 
Treasury (or the Secretary's delegate) shall amend the regulations 
under sections 403(b)(10), 408(a)(6), 408(b)(3), and 457(d)(2) of the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to conform to the amendments described in 
subsection (a). Such conforming amendments shall treat all individual 
retirement plans (as defined in section 7701(a)(37) of such Code) which 
an individual holds as the owner, or which an individual holds as a 
beneficiary of the same decedent, as one such plan for purposes of the 
amendments described in subsection (a). Such conforming amendments 
shall also treat all contracts described in section 403(b) of such Code 
which an individual holds as an employee, or which an individual holds 
as a beneficiary of the same decedent, as one such contract for such 
purposes.
    (d) Effective Date.--The modifications and amendments required 
under subsections (a) and (c) shall be deemed to have been made as of 
the date of the enactment of this Act, and as of such date--
            (1) all applicable laws shall be applied in all respects as 
        though the actions which the Secretary of the Treasury (or the 
        Secretary's delegate) is required to take under such 
        subsections had been taken, and
            (2) until such time as such actions are taken, taxpayers 
        may rely upon their reasonable good faith interpretations of 
        this section.

  TITLE III--SIMPLIFICATION AND CLARIFICATION OF RETIREMENT PLAN RULES

SEC. 301. RECOVERY OF RETIREMENT PLAN OVERPAYMENTS.

    (a) Overpayments Under ERISA.--Section 206 of the Employee 
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. 1056) is amended by 
adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(h) Special Rules Applicable to Benefit Overpayments.--
            ``(1) General rule.--In the case of an inadvertent benefit 
        overpayment by any pension plan, the responsible plan fiduciary 
        shall not be considered to have failed to comply with the 
        requirements of this title merely because such fiduciary 
        determines, in the exercise of its discretion, not to seek 
        recovery of all or part of such overpayment from--
                    ``(A) any participant or beneficiary,
                    ``(B) any plan sponsor of, or contributing employer 
                to--
                            ``(i) an individual account plan, provided 
                        that the amount needed to prevent or restore 
                        any impermissible forfeiture from any 
                        participant's or beneficiary's account arising 
                        in connection with the overpayment is, 
                        separately from and independently of the 
                        overpayment, allocated to such account pursuant 
                        to the nonforfeitability requirements of 
                        section 203 (for example, out of the plan's 
                        forfeiture account, additional employer 
                        contributions, or recoveries from those 
                        responsible for the overpayment), or
                            ``(ii) a defined benefit pension plan 
                        subject to the funding rules in part 3 of this 
                        subtitle B, unless the responsible plan 
                        fiduciary determines, in the exercise of its 
                        fiduciary discretion, that failure to recover 
                        all or part of the overpayment faster than 
                        required under such funding rules would 
                        materially affect the plan's ability to pay 
                        benefits due to other participants and 
                        beneficiaries, or
                    ``(C) any fiduciary of the plan, other than a 
                fiduciary (including a plan sponsor or contributing 
                employer acting in a fiduciary capacity) whose breach 
                of its fiduciary duties resulted in such overpayment, 
                provided that if the plan has established prudent 
                procedures to prevent and minimize overpayment of 
                benefits and the relevant plan fiduciaries have 
                followed such procedures, an inadvertent benefit 
                overpayment will not give rise to a breach of fiduciary 
                duty.
            ``(2) Reduction in future benefit payments and recovery 
        from responsible party.--Paragraph (1) shall not fail to apply 
        with respect to any inadvertent benefit overpayment merely 
        because, after discovering such overpayment, the responsible 
        plan fiduciary--
                    ``(A) reduces future benefit payments to the 
                correct amount provided for under the terms of the 
                plan, or
                    ``(B) seeks recovery from the person or persons 
                responsible for the overpayment.
            ``(3) Employer funding obligations.--Nothing in this 
        subsection shall relieve an employer of any obligation imposed 
        on it to make contributions to a plan to meet the minimum 
        funding standards under part 3 of this subtitle B or to prevent 
        or restore an impermissible forfeiture in accordance with 
        section 203.
            ``(4) Recoupment from participants and beneficiaries.--If 
        the responsible plan fiduciary, in the exercise of its 
        fiduciary discretion, decides to seek recoupment from a 
        participant or beneficiary of all or part of an inadvertent 
        benefit overpayment made by the plan to such participant or 
        beneficiary, it may do so, subject to the following conditions:
                    ``(A) No interest or other additional amounts (such 
                as collection costs or fees) are sought on overpaid 
                amounts for any period.
                    ``(B) If the plan seeks to recoup past overpayments 
                of a non-decreasing annuity by reducing future benefit 
                payments--
                            ``(i) the reduction ceases after the plan 
                        has recovered the full dollar amount of the 
                        overpayment,
                            ``(ii) the amount recouped each calendar 
                        year does not exceed 10 percent of the full 
                        dollar amount of the overpayment, and
                            ``(iii) future benefit payments are not 
                        reduced to below 90 percent of the periodic 
                        amount otherwise payable under the terms of the 
                        plan.
                Alternatively, if the plan seeks to recoup past 
                overpayments of a non-decreasing annuity through one or 
                more installment payments, the sum of such installment 
                payments in any calendar year does not exceed the sum 
                of the reductions that would be permitted in such year 
                under the preceding sentence.
                    ``(C) If the plan seeks to recoup past overpayments 
                of a benefit other than a non-decreasing annuity, the 
                plan satisfies requirements developed by the Secretary 
                of Labor for purposes of this subparagraph.
                    ``(D) Efforts to recoup overpayments are--
                            ``(i) not accompanied by threats of 
                        litigation, unless the responsible plan 
                        fiduciary makes a determination that there is a 
                        reasonable likelihood of success to recover an 
                        amount greater than the cost of recovery, and
                            ``(ii) not made through a collection agency 
                        or similar third party, unless the participant 
                        or beneficiary ignores or rejects efforts to 
                        recoup the overpayment following either a final 
                        judgment in Federal or State court or a 
                        settlement between the participant or 
                        beneficiary and the plan, in either case 
                        authorizing such recoupment.
                    ``(E) Recoupment of past overpayments to a 
                participant is not sought from any beneficiary of the 
                participant, including a spouse, surviving spouse, 
                former spouse, or other beneficiary.
                    ``(F) Recoupment may not be sought if the first 
                overpayment occurred more than 3 years before the 
                participant or beneficiary is first notified in writing 
                of the error, except in the case of fraud or 
                misrepresentation by the participant.
                    ``(G) A participant or beneficiary from whom 
                recoupment is sought is entitled to contest all or part 
                of the recoupment pursuant to the claims procedures of 
                the plan that made the overpayment to the extent such 
                procedures are consistent with section 503 of this 
                title and in the case of an inadvertent benefit 
                overpayment from a plan to which paragraph (1) applies 
                that is transferred to an eligible retirement plan (as 
                defined in section 402(c)(8)(B) of the Internal Revenue 
                Code of 1986) by or on behalf of a participant or 
                beneficiary--
                            ``(i) such plan shall notify the plan 
                        receiving the rollover of such dispute,
                            ``(ii) the plan receiving the rollover 
                        shall retain such overpayment on behalf of the 
                        participant or beneficiary (and shall be 
                        entitled to treat such overpayment as plan 
                        assets) pending the outcome of such procedures, 
                        and
                            ``(iii) the portion of such overpayment 
                        with respect to which recoupment is sought on 
                        behalf of the plan shall be permitted to be 
                        returned to such plan if it is determined to be 
                        an overpayment (and the plans making and 
                        receiving such transfer shall be treated as 
                        permitting such transfer).
                    ``(H) In determining the amount of recoupment to 
                seek, the responsible plan fiduciary may take into 
                account the hardship that recoupment likely would 
                impose on the participant or beneficiary.
            ``(5) Effect of culpability.--Subparagraphs (A) through (F) 
        of paragraph (4) shall not apply to protect a participant or 
        beneficiary who is culpable. For purposes of this paragraph, a 
        participant or beneficiary is culpable if the individual bears 
        responsibility for the overpayment (such as through 
        misrepresentations or omissions that led to the overpayment), 
        or if the individual knew that the benefit payment or payments 
        were materially in excess of the correct amount. 
        Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, an individual is not 
        culpable merely because the individual believed the benefit 
        payment or payments were or might be in excess of the correct 
        amount, if the individual raised that question with an 
        authorized plan representative and was told the payment or 
        payments were not in excess of the correct amount.''.
    (b) Overpayments Under Internal Revenue Code of 1986.--
            (1) Qualification requirements.--Section 414 is amended by 
        adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(aa) Special Rules Applicable to Benefit Overpayments.--
            ``(1) In general.--A plan shall not fail to be treated as 
        described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) of section 
        219(g)(5)(A) (and shall not fail to be treated as satisfying 
        the requirements of section 401(a) or 403) merely because--
                    ``(A) the plan fails to obtain payment from any 
                participant, beneficiary, employer, plan sponsor, 
                fiduciary, or other party on account of any inadvertent 
                benefit overpayment made by the plan, or
                    ``(B) the plan sponsor amends the plan to increase 
                past, or decrease future, benefit payments to affected 
                participants and beneficiaries in order to adjust for 
                prior inadvertent benefit overpayments.
            ``(2) Reduction in future benefit payments and recovery 
        from responsible party.--Paragraph (1) shall not fail to apply 
        to a plan merely because, after discovering a benefit 
        overpayment, such plan--
                    ``(A) reduces future benefit payments to the 
                correct amount provided for under the terms of the

                responsible for such overpayment.
            ``(3) Employer funding obligations.--Nothing in this 
        subsection shall relieve an employer of any obligation imposed 
        on it to make contributions to a plan to meet the minimum 
        funding standards under sections 412 and 430 or to prevent or 
        restore an impermissible forfeiture in accordance with section 
        411.
            ``(4) Observance of benefit limitations.--Notwithstanding 
        paragraph (1), a plan to which paragraph (1) applies shall 
        observe any limitations imposed on it by section 401(a)(17) or 
        415. The plan may enforce such limitations using any method 
        approved by the Secretary for recouping benefits previously 
        paid or allocations previously made in excess of such 
        limitations.
            ``(5) Coordination with other qualification requirements.--
        The Secretary may issue regulations or other guidance of 
        general applicability specifying how benefit overpayments and 
        their recoupment or non-recoupment from a participant or 
        beneficiary shall be taken into account for purposes of 
        satisfying any requirement applicable to a plan to which 
        paragraph (1) applies.''.
            (2) Rollovers.--Section 402(c) is amended by adding at the 
        end the following new paragraph:
            ``(12) In the case of an inadvertent benefit overpayment 
        from a plan to which section 414(aa)(1) applies that is 
        transferred to an eligible retirement plan by or on behalf of a 
        participant or beneficiary--
                    ``(A) the portion of such overpayment with respect 
                to which recoupment is not sought on behalf of the plan 
                shall be treated as having been paid in an eligible 
                rollover distribution if the payment would have been an 
                eligible rollover distribution but for being an 
                overpayment, and
                    ``(B) the portion of such overpayment with respect 
                to which recoupment is sought on behalf of the plan 
                shall be permitted to be returned to such plan and in 
                such case shall be treated as an eligible rollover 
                distribution transferred to such plan by the 
                participant or beneficiary who received such 
                overpayment (and the plans making and receiving such 
                transfer shall be treated as permitting such 
                transfer).''.
    (c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall 
apply as of the date of the enactment of this Act.
    (d) Certain Actions Before Date of Enactment.--Plans, fiduciaries, 
employers, and plan sponsors are entitled to rely on--
            (1) a reasonable good faith interpretation of then existing 
        administrative guidance for inadvertent benefit overpayment 
        recoupments and recoveries that commenced before the date of 
        enactment of this Act, and
            (2) determinations made before the date of enactment of 
        this Act by the responsible plan fiduciary, in the exercise of 
        its fiduciary discretion, not to seek recoupment or recovery of 
        all or part of an inadvertent benefit overpayment.
In the case of a benefit overpayment that occurred prior to the date of 
enactment of this Act, any installment payments by the participant or 
beneficiary to the plan or any reduction in periodic benefit payments 
to the participant or beneficiary, which were made in recoupment of 
such overpayment and which commenced prior to such date, may continue 
after such date. Nothing in this subsection shall relieve a fiduciary 
from responsibility for an overpayment that resulted from a breach of 
its fiduciary duties.

SEC. 302. REDUCTION IN EXCISE TAX ON CERTAIN ACCUMULATIONS IN QUALIFIED 
              RETIREMENT PLANS.

    (a) In General.--Section 4974(a) is amended by striking ``50

following new subsection:

        substituting `10 percent' for `25 percent'.
            ``(2) Correction window.--For purposes of this subsection, 
        the term `correction window' means the period of time beginning 
        on the date on which the tax under subsection (a) is imposed

        described in subsection (a), and ending on the earliest of--

    (c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall 
apply to taxable years beginning after the date of the enactment of 
this Act.

SEC. 303. RETIREMENT SAVINGS LOST AND FOUND.

    (a) In General.--Part 5 of subtitle B of title I of the Employee 
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.) is 
amended by adding at the end the following:

    (a) In General.--Except as otherwise provided in the Internal 
Revenue Code of 1986, regulations, or other guidance of general 
applicability prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or the 
Secretary's delegate (referred to in this section as the 
``Secretary''), any eligible inadvertent failure to comply with the 
rules applicable under section 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), 408(p), or 
408(k) of such Code may be self-corrected under the Employee Plans 
Compliance Resolution System (as described in Revenue Procedure 2021-
30, or any successor guidance, and hereafter in this section referred 
to as the ``EPCRS''), except to the extent that (1) such failure was 
identified by the Secretary prior to any actions which demonstrate a 
specific commitment to implement a self-correction with respect to such 
failure, or (2) the self-correction is not completed within a 
reasonable period after such failure is identified. For purposes of 
self-correction of an eligible inadvertent failure, the correction 
period under section 9.02 of Revenue Procedure 2021-30 (or any 
successor guidance), except as otherwise provided under such Code, 
regulations, or other guidance of general applicability prescribed by 
the Secretary, is indefinite and has no last day, other than with 
respect to failures identified by the Secretary prior to any actions 
which demonstrate a specific commitment to implement a self-correction 
with respect to such failure or with respect to a self-correction that 
is not completed within a reasonable period, as described in the 
preceding sentence.
    (b) Loan Errors.--In the case of an eligible inadvertent failure 
relating to a loan from a plan to a participant--
            (1) such failure may be self-corrected under subsection (a) 
        according to the rules of section 6.07 of Revenue Procedure 
        2021-30 (or any successor guidance), including the provisions 
        related to whether a deemed distribution must be reported on 
        Form 1099-R,
            (2) the Secretary of Labor shall treat any such failure 
        which is so self-corrected under subsection (a) as meeting the 
        requirements of the Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program of 
        the Department of Labor if, with respect to the violation of 
        the fiduciary standards of the Employee Retirement Income 
        Security Act of 1974, there is a similar loan error eligible 
        for correction under EPCRS and the loan error is corrected in 
        such manner, and
            (3) the Secretary of Labor may impose reporting or other 
        procedural requirements with respect to parties that intend to 
        rely on the Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program for self-
        corrections described in paragraph (2).
    (c) EPCRS for IRAs.--The Secretary shall expand the EPCRS to allow 
custodians of individual retirement plans (as defined in section 
7701(a)(37) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) to address eligible 
inadvertent failures with respect to an individual retirement plan (as 
so defined), including (but not limited to)--
            (1) waivers of the excise tax which would otherwise apply 
        under section 4974 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and
            (2) rules permitting a nonspouse beneficiary to return 
        distributions to an inherited individual retirement plan 
        described in section 408(d)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code 
        of 1986 in a case where, due to an inadvertent error by a 
        service provider, the beneficiary had reason to believe that 
        the distribution could be rolled over without inclusion in 
        income of any part of the distributed amount.
    (d) Correction Methods for Eligible Inadvertent Failures.--The 
Secretary shall issue guidance on correction methods that are required 
to be used to correct eligible inadvertent failures, including general 
principles of correction if a specific correction method is not 
specified by the Secretary.
    (e) Eligible Inadvertent Failure.--For purposes of this section--
            (1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), the 
        term ``eligible inadvertent failure'' means a failure that 
        occurs despite the existence of practices and procedures 
        which--
                    (A) satisfy the standards set forth in section 4.04 
                of Revenue Procedure 2021-30 (or any successor 
                guidance), or
                    (B) satisfy similar standards in the case of an 
                individual retirement plan.
            (2) Exception.--The term ``eligible inadvertent failure'' 
        shall not include any failure which is egregious, relates to 
        the diversion or misuse of plan assets, or is directly or 
        indirectly related to an abusive tax avoidance transaction.
    (f) Application of Certain Requirements for Correcting Errors.--
This section shall not apply to any failure unless the correction of 
such failure under this section is made in conformity with the general 
principles that apply to corrections of such failures under the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, including regulations or other guidance 
issued thereunder and including those principles and corrections set 
forth in Revenue Procedure 2021-30 (or any successor guidance).
    (g) Issuance of Guidance.--The Secretary of the Treasury, or the 
Secretary's delegate, shall revise Revenue Procedure 2021-30 (or any 
successor guidance) to take into account the provisions of this section 
not later than the date which is 2 years after the date of enactment of 
this Act.

                agreement providing for such deferral has been entered 
                into before the compensation is currently available to 
                the individual, and
                    ``(B) in any other case, will be deferred for any 
                calendar month only if an agreement providing for such 
                deferral has been entered into before the beginning of 
                such month,''.

to taxable years beginning after the date of the enactment of this Act.

        holdings of the designated investment alternative;
            (3) the blend is furnished to participants and 
        beneficiaries in a manner that is reasonably calculated to be 
        understood by the average plan participant; and

War I;'' and inserting ``of--
                    ``(i) the Mexican border period;
                    ``(ii) World War I; or
                    ``(iii) World War II;''.
    (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) shall 
take effect on March 31, 2023.

SEC. 102. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS TREATMENT AND RESEARCH OF 
              PROSTATE CANCER.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Prostate cancer is the number one cancer diagnosed in 
        the Veterans Health Administration.
            (2) A 1996 report published by the National Academy of 
        Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine established a link between 
        prostate cancer and exposure to herbicides, such as Agent 
        Orange.
            (3) It is essential to acknowledge that due to these 
        circumstances, certain veterans are made aware that they are 
        high-risk individuals when it comes to the potential to develop 
        prostate cancer.
            (4) In being designated as ``high risk'', it is essential 
        that veterans are proactive in seeking earlier preventative 
        clinical services for the early detection and successful 
        treatment of prostate cancer, whether that be through the 
        Veterans Health Administration or through a community provider.
            (5) Clinical preventative services and initial detection 
        are some of the most important components in the early 
        detection of prostate cancer for veterans at high risk of 
        prostate cancer.
            (6) For veterans with prostate cancer, including prostate 
        cancer that has metastasized, precision oncology, including 
        biomarker-driven clinical trials and innovations underway 
        through the Prostate Cancer Foundation and Department of 
        Veterans Affairs partnership, represents one of the most 
        promising areas of interventions, treatments, and cures for 
        such veterans and their families.
    (b) Establishment of Clinical Pathway.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 365 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs 
        shall establish an interdisciplinary clinical pathway for all 
        stages of prostate cancer, from early detection to end of life

Third Party Administrators.
    ``(2) The Secretary shall ensure that health care providers 
specified under section 1703(c) of this title are able to comply with 
the access standards established under subsection (a) for such 
providers.

        changed, and certain providers or facilities are not available 
        such that the Third Party Administrator is not able to meet 
        those access standards; and
            ``(ii) to address the scarcity of available providers or 
        the change in the provider or facility landscape, as the case 
        may be, the Third Party Administrator has contracted with other 
        providers or facilities that may not meet those access 
        standards but are the currently available providers or 
        facilities most accessible to veterans within the region of 
        responsibility of the Third Party Administrator.
    ``(B) Any waiver requested by a Third Party Administrator under 
subparagraph (A) must be requested in writing and submitted to the 
Office of Integrated Veteran Care of the Department for approval by 
that office.
    ``(C) As part of any waiver request under subparagraph (A), a Third 
Party Administrator must include conclusive evidence and documentation 
that the access standards established under subsection (a) cannot be 
met because of scarcity of available providers or changes to the 
landscape of providers or facilities.
    ``(D) In evaluating a waiver request under subparagraph (A), the 
Secretary shall consider the following:
            ``(i) The number and geographic distribution of eligible 
        health care providers available within the geographic area and 
        specialty referenced in the waiver request.
            ``(ii) The prevailing market conditions within the 
        geographic area and specialty referenced in the waiver request, 
        which shall include the number and distribution of health care 
        providers contracting with other health care plans (including 
        commercial plans and the Medicare program under title XVIII of 
        the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.)) operating in 
        the geographic area and specialty referenced in the waiver 
        request.
            ``(iii) Whether the service area is comprised of highly 
        rural, rural, or urban areas or some combination of such areas.
            ``(iv) How significantly the waiver request differs from 
        the access standards established under subsection (a).
            ``(v) The rates offered to providers in the geographic area 
        covered by the waiver.
    ``(E) The Secretary shall not consider inability to contract as a 
valid sole rationale for granting a waiver under subparagraph (A).
    ``(g)(1) The Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register and on 
a publicly available internet website of the Department the designated 
access standards established under this section for purposes of section 
1703(d)(1)(D) of this title.

         Subtitle D--Improvement of Rural Health and Telehealth

SEC. 151. ESTABLISHMENT OF STRATEGIC PLAN REQUIREMENT FOR OFFICE OF 
              CONNECTED CARE OF DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The COVID-19 pandemic caused the Department of Veterans 
        Affairs to exponentially increase telehealth and virtual care 
        modalities, including VA Video Connect, to deliver health care 
        services to veteran patients.
            (2) Between January 2020 and January 2021, the number of 
        telehealth appointments offered by the Department increased by 
        1,831 percent.
            (3) The Department maintains strategic partnerships, such 
        as the Digital Divide Consult, with a goal of ensuring veterans 
        who reside in rural, highly rural, or medically underserved 
        areas have access to high-quality telehealth services offered 
        by the Department.
            (4) As of 2019, veterans who reside in rural and highly 
        rural areas make up approximately \1/3\ \\ of veteran enrollees 
        in the patient enrollment system, and are on average, older 
        than their veteran peers in urban areas, experience higher 
        degrees of financial instability, and live with a greater 
        number of complex health needs and comorbidities.
            (5) The Federal Communications Commission estimated in 2020 
        that 15 percent of veteran households do not have an internet 
        connection.
            (6) Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic 
        Security Act (Public Law 116-136), Congress granted the 
        Department additional authority to enter into short-term 
        agreements or contracts with private sector telecommunications 
        companies to provide certain broadband services for the 
        purposes of providing expanded mental health services to 
        isolated veterans through telehealth or VA Video Connect during 
        a public health emergency.
            (7) The authority described in paragraph (6) was not 
        utilized to the fullest extent by the Department.
            (8) Though the Department has made significant progress in 
        expanding telehealth services offered to veterans who are 
        enrolled in the patient enrollment system, significant gaps 
        still exist to ensure all veterans receive equal and high-
        quality access to virtual care.
            (9) Questions regarding the efficacy of using telehealth 
        for certain health care services and specialties remain, and 
        should be further studied.
            (10) The Department continues to expand telehealth and 
        virtual care offerings for primary care, mental health care, 
        specialty care, urgent care, and even remote intensive care 
        units.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
telehealth services offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs 
should be routinely measured and evaluated to ensure the telehealth 
technologies and modalities delivered to veteran patients to treat a 
wide variety of health conditions are as effective as in-person 
treatment for primary care, mental health care, and other forms of 
specialty care.
    (c) Development of Strategic Plan.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than one year after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, 
        acting through the Office of Connected Care of the Department 
        of Veterans Affairs, shall develop a strategic plan to ensure 
        the effectiveness of the telehealth technologies and modalities 
        delivered by the Department to veterans who are enrolled in the 
        patient enrollment system.
            (2) Update.--
                    (A) In general.--The Secretary shall update the 
                strategic plan required under paragraph (1) not less 
                frequently than once every three years following 
                development of the plan.
                    (B) Consultation.--The Secretary shall prepare any 
                update required under subparagraph (A) in consultation

                    (E) An outline of all current partnerships

                  Subtitle F--Foreign Medical Program

SEC. 171. ANALYSIS OF FEASIBILITY AND ADVISABILITY OF EXPANDING 
              ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT TO CAREGIVERS TO INCLUDE 
              CAREGIVERS OF VETERANS IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE 
              PHILIPPINES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Although section 161 of the VA MISSION Act of 2018 
        (Public Law 115-182; 132 Stat. 1438) expanded the program of 
        comprehensive assistance for family caregivers of the 
        Department of Veterans Affairs under section 1720G(a) of title 
        38, United States Code, to veterans of all eras, it did not 
        expand the program to family caregivers for veterans overseas.
            (2) Although caregivers for veterans overseas can access 
        online resources as part of the program of support services for 
        caregivers of veterans under subsection (b) section 1720G of 
        such title, those caregivers are not currently eligible for the 
        comprehensive services and benefits provided under subsection 
        (a) of such section.
            (3) The Department has an outpatient clinic and a regional 
        benefits office in Manila, Republic of the Philippines, and the 
        Foreign Medical Program of the Department under section 1724 of 
        such title is used heavily in the Republic of the Philippines 
        by veterans who live in that country.
            (4) Due to the presence of facilities of the Department in 
        the Republic of the Philippines and the number of veterans who 
        reside there, that country is a suitable test case to analyze 
        the feasibility and advisability of expanding caregiver support 
        to caregivers of veterans overseas.
    (b) Analysis.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall complete 
an analysis of the feasibility and advisability of making assistance 
and support under section 1720G(a) of title 38, United States Code, 
available to caregivers of veterans in the Republic of the Philippines.
    (c) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the conclusion of the 
analysis conducted under subsection (b), the Secretary shall submit to 
the Committee on Veterans' Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on 
Veterans' Affairs of the House of Representatives a report that 
includes the following:
            (1) The results of such analysis.
            (2) An assessment of the number of veterans who are 
        enrolled in the patient enrollment system and reside in the 
        Republic of the Philippines.
            (3) An assessment of the number of veterans residing in the 
        Republic of the Philippines with a disability rating from the 
        Department of not less than 70 percent.
            (4) An assessment of the number of veterans who are 
        enrolled in the patient enrollment system and reside in the 
        Republic of the Philippines that have a caregiver to provide 
        them personal care services described in section 1720G(a)(C) of 
        title 38, United States Code.
            (5) An assessment of the staffing needs and associated 
        costs of making assistance and support available to caregivers 
        of veterans in the Republic of the Philippines.
            (6) An assessment of the infrastructure needs and 
        associated costs of making assistance and support available to 
        caregivers of veterans in the Republic of the Philippines.
            (7) An assessment of the local transportation challenges to 
        making assistance and support available to caregivers of 
        veterans in the Republic of the Philippines.
            (8) An assessment of how the Secretary would determine 
        payment rates for caregivers of veterans in the Republic of the 
        Philippines to account for variances in living standards in the 
        Republic of the Philippines.
            (9) Such other elements as the Secretary considers 
        appropriate.
    (d) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Caregiver.--The term ``caregiver'' has the meaning 
        given that term in section 1720G(d) of title 38, United States 
        Code.
            (2) Patient enrollment system.--The term ``patient 
        enrollment system'' means the system of annual patient

                     Subtitle H--Mental Health Care

SEC. 191. ANALYSIS OF FEASIBILITY AND ADVISABILITY OF DEPARTMENT OF 
              VETERANS AFFAIRS PROVIDING EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENTS FOR 
              THE DIAGNOSIS OF TREATMENT-RESISTANT DEPRESSION.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) A systematic review in 2019 of the economics and 
        quality of life relating to treatment-resistant depression 
        summarized that major depressive disorder (in this subsection 
        referred to as ``MDD'') is a global public health concern and 
        that treatment-resistant depression in particular represents a 
        key unmet need. The findings of that review highlighted the 
        need for improved therapies for treatment-resistant depression 
        to reduce disease burden, lower medical costs, and improve the 
        quality of life of patients.
            (2) The Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of 
        MDD (in this subsection referred to as the ``CPG'') developed 
        jointly by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the 
        Department of Defense defines treatment-resistant depression as 
        at least two adequate treatment trials and lack of full 
        response to each.
            (3) The CPG recommends electro-convulsive therapy (in this 
        subsection referred to as ``ECT'') as a treatment strategy for 
        patients who have failed multiple other treatment strategies.
            (4) The CPG recommends offering repetitive transcranial 
        magnetic stimulation (in this subsection referred to as 
        ``rTMS''), an intervention that is indicated by the Food and 
        Drug Administration, for treatment during a major depressive 
        episode in patients with treatment-resistant MDD.
            (5) The final report of the Creating Options for Veterans' 
        Expedited Recovery Commission (commonly referred to as the 
        ``COVER Commission'') established under section 931 of the 
        Jason Simcakoski Memorial and Promise Act (title IX of Public 
        Law 114-198; 38 U.S.C. 1701 note) found that treatment-
        resistant depression is a major issue throughout the mental 
        health treatment system, and that an estimated 50 percent of 
        depressed patients are inadequately treated by available 
        interventions.
            (6) The COVER Commission also reported data collected from 
        the Department of Veterans Affairs that found that only 
        approximately 1,166 patients throughout the Department were 
        referred for ECT in 2018 and only approximately 772 patients 
        were referred for rTMS during that year.
    (b) Analysis.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall complete 
an analysis of the feasibility and advisability of making repetitive 
transcranial magnetic stimulation available at all medical facilities 
of the Department of Veterans Affairs and electro-convulsive therapy 
available at one medical center located within each Veterans Integrated 
Service Network for the treatment of veterans who are enrolled in the 
patient enrollment system and have a diagnosis of treatment-resistant 
depression.
    (c) Inclusion of Assessment of Report.--The analysis conducted 
under subsection (b) shall include an assessment of the final report of 
the COVER Commission submitted under section 931(e)(2) of the Jason 
Simcakoski Memorial and Promise Act (title IX of Public Law 114-198; 38 
U.S.C. 1701 note).
    (d) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the conclusion of the 
analysis conducted under subsection (b), the Secretary shall submit to 
the Committee on Veterans' Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on 
Veterans' Affairs of the House of Representatives a report that 
includes the following:
            (1) The results of such analysis.
            (2) An assessment of the number of veterans who are

        the date of the report.
            (3) An assessment of the number of the veterans who are 
        enrolled in the patient enrollment system who have a diagnosis 
        of treatment-resistant depression and who have received or are 
        currently receiving repetitive transcranial magnetic 
        stimulation or electro-convulsive therapy as a treatment 
        modality during the two-year period preceding the date of the 
        report.
            (4) An assessment of the number and locations of medical 
        centers of the Department that currently provide repetitive 
        transcranial magnetic stimulation to veterans who are enrolled 
        in the patient enrollment system and who have a diagnosis of 
        treatment-resistant depression.
            (5) An assessment of the number and locations of medical 
        centers of the Department that currently provide electro-

    This division may be cited as the ``Computers for Veterans and 
Students Act of 2022'' or the ``COVS Act''.

SEC. 102. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Access to computers and computer technology is 
        indispensable for success in the 21st century. Millions of 
        Americans do not regularly use a computer and research shows 
        that substantial disparities remain in both internet use and 
        the quality of access, with the digital divide concentrated 
        among older, less educated, less affluent populations, 
        especially veterans, low-income students, and senior citizens.
            (2) The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the gap between 
        those with computer access and those without. Millions of 
        students, their families, and workers from across the economy 
        were unable to do schoolwork, work remotely from home, or 
        connect to loved ones and their communities because of the 
        digital divide.
            (3) Any Federal program that distributes surplus, 
        repairable Federal computers or technology equipment would 
        benefit from a partnership with a nonprofit organization whose 
        mission is bridging the digital divide.

SEC. 103. REFURBISHMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF SURPLUS COMPUTERS AND 
              TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT.

               TITLE II--MASIH ALINEJAD HUNT ACT OF 2022

SEC. 201. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Masih Alinejad Harassment and 
Unlawful Targeting Act of 2022'' or the ``Masih Alinejad HUNT Act of 
2022''.

SEC. 202. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran 
surveils, harasses, terrorizes, tortures, abducts, and murders 
individuals who peacefully defend human rights and freedoms in Iran, 
and innocent entities and individuals considered by the Government of 
Iran to be enemies of that regime, including United States citizens on 
United States soil, and takes foreign nationals hostage, including in 
the following instances:
            (1) In 2021, Iranian intelligence agents were indicted for 
        plotting to kidnap United States citizen, women's rights 
        activist, and journalist Masih Alinejad, from her home in New 
        York City, in retaliation for exercising her rights under the 
        First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. 
        Iranian agents allegedly spent at least approximately half a 
        million dollars to capture the outspoken critic of the 
        authoritarianism of the Government of Iran, and studied 
        evacuating her by military-style speedboats to Venezuela before 
        rendition to Iran.
            (2) Prior to the New York kidnapping plot, Ms. Alinejad's 
        family in Iran was instructed by authorities to lure Ms. 
        Alinejad to Turkey. In an attempt to intimidate her into 
        silence, the Government of Iran arrested 3 of Ms. Alinejad's 
        family members in 2019, and sentenced her brother to 8 years in 
        prison for refusing to denounce her.
            (3) According to Federal prosecutors, the same Iranian 
        intelligence network that allegedly plotted to kidnap Ms. 
        Alinejad is also targeting critics of the Government of Iran 
        who live in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab 
        Emirates.
            (4) In 2021, an Iranian diplomat was convicted in Belgium 
        of attempting to carry out a 2018 bombing of a dissident rally 
        in France.
            (5) In 2021, a Danish high court found a Norwegian citizen 
        of Iranian descent guilty of illegal espionage and complicity 
        in a failed plot to kill an Iranian Arab dissident figure in 
        Denmark.
            (6) In 2021, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) 
        appealed to the United Nations to protect BBC Persian employees 
        in London who suffer regular harassment and threats of 
        kidnapping by Iranian government agents.
            (7) In 2021, 15 militants allegedly working on behalf of 
        the Government of Iran were arrested in Ethiopia for plotting 
        to attack citizens of Israel, the United States, and the United 
        Arab Emirates, according to United States officials.
            (8) In 2020, Iranian agents allegedly kidnapped United 
        States resident and Iranian-German journalist Jamshid Sharmahd, 
        while he was traveling to India through Dubai. Iranian 
        authorities announced they had seized Mr. Sharmahd in ``a 
        complex operation'', and paraded him blindfolded on state 
        television. Mr. Sharmahd is arbitrarily detained in Iran, 
        allegedly facing the death penalty. In 2009, Mr. Sharmahd was 
        the target of an alleged Iran-directed assassination plot in 
        Glendora, California.
            (9) In 2020, the Government of Turkey released 
        counterterrorism files exposing how Iranian authorities 
        allegedly collaborated with drug gangs to kidnap Habib Chabi, 
        an Iranian-Swedish activist for Iran's Arab minority. In 2020, 
        the Government of Iran allegedly lured Mr. Chabi to Istanbul 
        through a female agent posing as a potential lover. Mr. Chabi 
        was then allegedly kidnapped from Istanbul, and smuggled into 
        Iran where he faces execution, following a sham trial.
            (10) In 2020, a United States-Iranian citizen and an 
        Iranian resident of California pleaded guilty to charges of 
        acting as illegal agents of the Government of Iran by 
        surveilling Jewish student facilities, including the Hillel 
        Center and Rohr Chabad Center at the University of Chicago, in 
        addition to surveilling and collecting identifying information 
        about United States citizens and nationals who are critical of 
        the Iranian regime.
            (11) In 2019, 2 Iranian intelligence officers at the 
        Iranian consulate in Turkey allegedly orchestrated the 
        assassination of Iranian dissident journalist Masoud Molavi 
        Vardanjani, who was shot while walking with a friend in 
        Istanbul. Unbeknownst to Mr. Molavi, his ``friend'' was in fact 
        an undercover Iranian agent and the leader of the killing 
        squad, according to a Turkish police report.
            (12) In 2019, around 1,500 people were allegedly killed 
        amid a less than 2 week crackdown by security forces on anti-
        government protests across Iran, including at least an alleged 
        23 children and 400 women.
            (13) In 2019, Iranian operatives allegedly lured Paris-
        based Iranian journalist Ruhollah Zam to Iraq, where he was 
        abducted, and hanged in Iran for sedition.
            (14) In 2019, a Kurdistan regional court convicted an 
        Iranian female for trying to lure Voice of America reporter Ali 
        Javanmardi to a hotel room in Irbil, as part of a foiled 
        Iranian intelligence plot to kidnap and extradite Mr. 
        Javanmardi, a critic of the Government of Iran.
            (15) In 2019, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents 
        visited the rural Connecticut home of Iran-born United States 
        author and poet Roya Hakakian to warn her that she was the 
        target of an assassination plot orchestrated by the Government 
        of Iran.
            (16) In 2019, the Government of the Netherlands accused the 
        Government of Iran of directing the assassination of Iranian 
        Arab activist Ahmad Mola Nissi, in The Hague, and the 
        assassination of another opposition figure, Reza Kolahi Samadi, 
        who was murdered near Amsterdam in 2015.
            (17) In 2018, German security forces searched for 10 
        alleged spies who were working for Iran's al-Quds Force to 
        collect information on targets related to the local Jewish 
        community, including kindergartens.
            (18) In 2017, Germany convicted a Pakistani man for working 
        as an Iranian agent to spy on targets including a former German 
        lawmaker and a French-Israeli economics professor.
            (19) In 2012, an Iranian American pleaded guilty to 
        conspiring with members of the Iranian military to bomb a 
        popular Washington, DC, restaurant with the aim of 
        assassinating the ambassador of Saudi Arabia to the United 
        States.
            (20) In 1996, agents of the Government of Iran allegedly 
        assassinated 5 Iranian dissident exiles across Turkey, 
        Pakistan, and Baghdad, over a 5-month period that year.
            (21) In 1992, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the 
        United Kingdom expelled 2 Iranians employed at the Iranian 
        Embassy in London and a third Iranian on a student visa amid 
        allegations they were plotting to kill Indian-born British 
        American novelist Salman Rushdie, pursuant to the fatwa issued 
        by then supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
            (22) In 1992, 4 Iranian Kurdish dissidents were 
        assassinated at a restaurant in Berlin, Germany, allegedly by 
        Iranian agents.
            (23) In 1992, singer, actor, poet, and gay Iranian 
        dissident Fereydoun Farrokhzad was found dead with multiple 
        stab wounds in his apartment in Germany. His death is allegedly 
        the work of Iran-directed agents.
            (24) In 1980, Ali Akbar Tabatabaei, a leading critic of 
        Iran and then president of the Iran Freedom Foundation, was 
        murdered in front of his Bethesda, Maryland, home by an 
        assassin disguised as a postal courier. The Federal Bureau of 
        Investigation had identified the ``mailman'' as Dawud 
        Salahuddin, born David Theodore Belfield. Mr. Salahuddin was 
        working as a security guard at an Iranian interest office in 
        Washington, DC, when he claims he accepted the assignment and 
        payment of $5,000 from the Government of Iran to kill Mr. 
        Tabatabaei.
            (25) Other exiled Iranian dissidents alleged to have been 
        victims of the Government of Iran's murderous extraterritorial 
        campaign include Shahriar Shafiq, Shapour Bakhtiar, and Gholam 
        Ali Oveissi.
            (26) Iranian Americans face an ongoing campaign of 
        intimidation both in the virtual and physical world by agents 
        and affiliates of the Government of Iran, which aims to stifle 
        freedom of expression and eliminate the threat Iranian 
        authorities believe democracy, justice, and gender equality 
        pose to their rule.

      TITLE VII--BENJAMIN BERELL FERENCZ CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL

SEC. 701. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Benjamin Berell Ferencz 
Congressional Gold Medal Act''.

SEC. 702. FINDINGS.

     Congress finds the following:
            (1) Benjamin ``Ben'' Berell Ferencz was born on March 11, 
        1920, in Transylvania, now modern-day Hungary.
            (2) In 1920, Ben and his family fled anti-Semitic 
        persecution and emigrated to the United States. Ben grew up in 
        New York City, and, in 1940, was awarded a scholarship to 
        Harvard Law School where he graduated with honors.
            (3) After the onset of World War II, Ben enlisted in the 
        United States Army in 1943, and joined an anti-aircraft 
        artillery battalion preparing for the invasion of France. As an 
        enlisted man under General Patton, he fought in most of the 
        major campaigns in Europe.
            (4) As Nazi atrocities were uncovered, Ben was transferred 
        to a newly created War Crimes Branch of the Army to gather 
        evidence of war crimes that could be used in a court of law to 
        prosecute persons responsible for these crimes. Ben documented 
        the horrors perpetrated by Nazi Germany, visiting concentration 
        camps as they were liberated.
            (5) At the end of 1945, Ben was honorably discharged from 
        the United States Army with the rank of Sergeant of Infantry. 
        He had been awarded five battle stars.
            (6) In 1946, the United States Government recruited Ben to 
        join the team working on the Nuremberg tribunals, a novel 
        independent court established to try top-ranking Nazi officials 
        for crimes perpetrated during the course of the war, including 
        those crimes we now call the Holocaust. Mr. Ferencz was sent to 
        Berlin to oversee a team of 50 researchers investigating 
        official Nazi records, which provided overwhelming evidence to 
        implicate German doctors, lawyers, judges, generals, 
        industrialists, and others in genocide.
            (7) By 1948, at age 27, Ben had secured enough evidence to 
        prosecute 22 SS members of Nazi killing squads charged for the 
        murder of over 1,000,0000 Jewish, Roma, Soviet, and other men, 
        women, and children in shooting massacres in occupied Soviet 
        territory. He was appointed chief prosecutor in the 
        Einsatzgruppen Trial, in what the Associated Press called ``the 
        biggest murder trial in history''. The court found 20 Nazi 
        officials guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and 
        membership in a criminal organization for their roles in the 
        murder of over a million people. An additional two defendants 
        were found guilty for membership in a criminal organization.
            (8) After the Nuremberg trials ended, Ben fought for 
        compensation for victims and survivors of the Holocaust, the 
        return of stolen assets, and other forms of restitution for 
        those who had suffered at the hands of the Nazis.
            (9) Since the 1970s, Ben has worked tirelessly to promote 
        development of international mechanisms to outlaw and punish 
        aggressive war and the crimes of genocide, crimes against 
        humanity and war crimes. His efforts contributed to the 
        establishment of the International Criminal Court and to the 
        recognition of aggression as an international crime.
            (10) Ben is a tireless advocate for international criminal 
        justice and the conviction that the rule of law offers the 
        world a sustainable path to stem conflict and reach peaceful 
        conclusions to geopolitical disputes. His unwavering goal has 
        been ``to establish a legal precedent that would encourage a 
        more humane and secure world in the future''.
            (11) Ben, at age 102, is still active, giving speeches 
        throughout the world about lessons learned during his 
        extraordinary career. He is compelled by the imperative to 
        ``replace the rule of force with the rule of law'', promoting 
        judicial mechanisms that can resolve conflict. He often tells 
        young people to ``never give up'' because the fight for peace 
        and justice is worth the long struggle ahead.

of subsection (a) as part of a standard promulgated under this section 
based on tip-over data as reasonably necessary to protect children up 
to 72 months of age from injury or death.
    (c) Consumer Product Safety Standard Required.--
            (1) In general.--Except as provided in subsection (f )(1), 
        not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this 
        Act, the Consumer Product Safety Commission shall--
                    (A) in consultation with representatives of 
                consumer groups, clothing storage unit manufacturers, 
                craft or handmade furniture manufacturers, and 
                independent child product engineers and experts, 
                examine and assess the effectiveness of any voluntary 
                consumer product safety standards for clothing storage 
                units; and
                    (B) in accordance with section 553 of title 5, 
                United States Code, and paragraph (2), promulgate a 
                final consumer product safety standard for clothing 
                storage units to protect children from tip-over-related 
                death or injury, that shall take effect 180 days after 
                the date of promulgation or such a later date as the 
                Commission determines appropriate.
            (2) Requirements.--The standard promulgated under paragraph 
        (1) shall protect children from tip-over-related death or 
        injury with--
                    (A) tests that simulate the weight of children up 
                to 60 pounds;
                    (B) objective, repeatable, reproducible, and 
                measurable tests or series of tests that simulate real-
                world use and account for impacts on clothing storage 
                unit stability that may result from placement on 
                carpeted surfaces, drawers with items in them, multiple 
                open drawers, and dynamic force;
                    (C) testing of all clothing storage units, 
                including those 27 inches and above in height; and
                    (D) warning requirements based on ASTM F2057-19, or 
                its successor at the time of enactment, provided that 
                the Consumer Product Safety Commission may strengthen 
                the warning requirements of ASTM F2057-19, or its 
                successor, if reasonably necessary to protect children 
                from tip-over-related death or injury.
            (3) Testing clarification.--Tests referred to in paragraph 
        (2)(B) shall allow for the utilization of safety features 
        (excluding tip restraints) to work as intended if the features 
        cannot be overridden by consumers in normal use.
            (4) Treatment of standard.--A consumer product safety 
        standard promulgated under paragraph (1) shall be treated as a 
        consumer product safety rule promulgated under section 9 of the 
        Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2058).
    (d) Adoption of Voluntary Standard.--
            (1) In general.--If a voluntary standard exists that meets 
        the requirements of paragraph (2), the Commission shall, not 
        later than 90 days after the date on which such determination 
        is made and in accordance with section 553 of title 5, United 
        States Code, promulgate a final consumer product safety 
        standard that adopts the applicable performance requirements of 
        such voluntary standard related to protecting children from 
        tip-over-related death or injury. A consumer product safety 
        standard promulgated under this subsection shall be treated as 
        a consumer product safety rule promulgated under section 9 of 
        the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2058). Such standard 
        shall take effect 120 days after the date of the promulgation 
        of the rule, or such a later date as the Commission determines 
        appropriate. Such standard will supersede any other existing 
        standard for clothing storage units to protect children from 
        tip-over-related death or injury.
            (2) Requirements.--The requirements of this paragraph with 
        respect to a voluntary standard for clothing storage units are 
        that such standard--
                    (A) protects children up to 72 months of age from 
                tip-over-related death or injury;
                    (B) meets the requirements described in subsection 
                (c)(2);
                    (C) is, or will be, published not later than 60 
                days after the date of enactment of this Act; and
                    (D) is developed by ASTM International or such 
                other standard development organization that the 
                Commission determines is in compliance with the intent 
                of this section.
            (3) Notice required to be published in the federal 
        register.--The Commission shall publish a notice in the Federal 
        Register upon beginning the promulgation of a rule under this 
        subsection.
    (e) Revision of Voluntary Standard.--
            (1) Notice to commission.--If the performance requirements 
        of a voluntary standard adopted under subsection (d) are 
        subsequently revised, the organization that revised the 
        performance requirements of such standard shall notify the 
        Commission of such revision after final approval.
            (2) Treatment of revision.--Not later than 90 days after 
        the date on which the Commission is notified of revised 
        performance requirements of a voluntary standard described in 
        paragraph (1) (or such later date as the Commission determines 
        appropriate), the Commission shall determine whether the 
        revised performance requirements meet the requirements of 
        subsection (d)(2)(B), and if so, modify, in accordance with 
        section 553 of title 5, United States Code, the standard 
        promulgated under subsection (d) to include the revised 
        performance requirements that the Commission determines meet 
        such requirements. The modified standard shall take effect 
        after 180 days or such later date as the Commission deems 
        appropriate.
    (f) Subsequent Rulemaking.--
            (1) In general.--Beginning 5 years after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, subsequent to the publication of a 
        consumer product safety standard under this section, the 
        Commission may, at any time, initiate rulemaking, in accordance 
        with section 553 of title 5, United States Code, to modify the 
        requirements of such standard or to include additional 
        provisions if the Commission makes a determination that such 
        modifications or additions are reasonably necessary to protect 
        children from tip-over-related death or injury.
            (2) Petition for revision of rule.--
                    (A) In general.--If the Commission receives a 
                petition for a new or revised test that permits 
                incorporated safety features (excluding tip restraints) 
                to work as intended, if the features cannot be 
                overridden by consumers in normal use and provide an 
                equivalent or greater level of safety as the tests 
                developed under subsection (c)(2) or the performance 
                requirements described in subsection (d)(2)(B), as 
                applicable, the Commission shall determine within 120 
                days--
                            (i) whether the petition meets the 
                        requirements for petitions set forth in section 
                        1051.5 of title 16, Code of Federal 
                        Regulations, or any successor regulation 
                        implementing section 9(i) of the Consumer 
                        Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2058(i)); and
                            (ii) whether the petition demonstrates that 
                        the test could reasonably meet the requirements 
                        of subsection (c)(2)(B), and if so, the 
                        Commission shall determine by recorded vote, 
                        within 60 days after the determination, whether 
                        to initiate rulemaking, in accordance with 
                        section 553 of title 5, United States Code, to 
                        revise a consumer product safety standard 
                        promulgated under this section to include the 
                        new or revised test.
                    (B) Demonstration of compliance.--Compliance with 
                the testing requirements of a standard revised under 
                subparagraph (A) may be demonstrated either through the 
                performance of a new or revised test under subparagraph 
                (A) or the performance of the tests otherwise required 
                under a standard promulgated under this section.
            (3) Treatment of rules.--Any rule promulgated under this 
        subsection, including any modification or revision made under

                                        of this item shall not prevent 
                                        an online marketplace from 
                                        monitoring communications 
                                        between high-volume third party 
                                        sellers and users of the online 
                                        marketplace for fraud, abuse, 
                                        or spam.
                            (ii) Whether the high-volume third party 
                        seller used a different seller to supply the

                        and, upon the request of an authenticated 
                        purchaser, the information described in clause 
                        (i) relating to any such seller that supplied 
                        the consumer product to the purchaser, if such 
                        seller is different than the high-volume third 
                        party seller listed on the product listing 
                        prior to purchase.
            (2) Exception.--
                    (A) In general.--Subject to subparagraph (B), upon 
                the request of a high-volume third party seller, an 
                online marketplace may provide for partial disclosure 
                of the identity information required under paragraph 
                (1)(B)(i) in the following situations:
                            (i) If such seller certifies to the online 
                        marketplace that the seller does not have a 
                        business address and only has a residential 
                        street address, or has a combined business and 
                        residential address, the online marketplace 
                        may--
                                    (I) disclose only the country and, 
                                if applicable, the State in which such 
                                seller resides; and
                                    (II) inform consumers that there is 
                                no business address available for the 
                                seller and that consumer inquiries 
                                should be submitted to the seller by 
                                phone, email, or other means of 
                                electronic messaging provided to such 
                                seller by the online marketplace.
                            (ii) If such seller certifies to the online 
                        marketplace that the seller is a business that 
                        has a physical address for product returns, the 
                        online marketplace may disclose the seller's 
                        physical address for product returns.
                            (iii) If such seller certifies to the 
                        online marketplace that the seller does not 
                        have a phone number other than a personal phone 
                        number, the online marketplace shall inform 
                        consumers that there is no phone number 
                        available for the seller and that consumer 
                        inquiries should be submitted to the seller's 
                        email address or other means of electronic 
                        messaging provided to such seller by the online 
                        marketplace.
                    (B) Limitation on exception.--If an online 
                marketplace becomes aware that a high-volume third 
                party seller has made a false representation to the 
                online marketplace in order to justify the provision of 
                a partial disclosure under subparagraph (A) or that a 
                high-volume third party seller who has requested and 
                received a provision for a partial disclosure under 
                subparagraph (A) has not provided responsive answers 
                within a reasonable time frame to consumer inquiries 
                submitted to the seller by phone, email, or other means 
                of electronic messaging provided to such seller by the 
                online marketplace, the online marketplace shall, after 
                providing the seller with written or electronic notice 
                and an opportunity to respond not later than 10 days 
                after the issuance of such notice, suspend any future 
                sales activity of such seller unless such seller 
                consents to the disclosure of the identity information 
                required under paragraph (1)(B)(i).
            (3) Reporting mechanism.--An online marketplace shall 
        disclose to consumers in a clear and conspicuous manner on the 
        product listing of any high-volume third party seller a 
        reporting mechanism that allows for electronic and telephonic 
        reporting of suspicious marketplace activity to the online 
        marketplace.
            (4) Compliance.--If a high-volume third party seller does 
        not comply with the requirements to provide and disclose 
        information under this subsection, the online marketplace 
        shall, after providing the seller with written or electronic 
        notice and an opportunity to provide or disclose such 
        information not later than 10 days after the issuance of such 
        notice, suspend any future sales activity of such seller until 
        the seller complies with such requirements.
    (c) Enforcement by Federal Trade Commission.--
            (1) Unfair and deceptive acts or practices.--A violation of 
        subsection (a) or (b) by an online marketplace shall be treated 
        as a violation of a rule defining an unfair or deceptive act or 
        practice prescribed under section 18(a)(1)(B) of the Federal 
        Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 57a(a)(1)(B)).
            (2) Powers of the commission.--
                    (A) In general.--The Commission shall enforce 
                subsections (a) and (b) in the same manner, by the same 
                means, and with the same jurisdiction, powers, and 
                duties as though all applicable terms and provisions of 
                the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.) 
                were incorporated into and made a part of this section.
                    (B) Privileges and immunities.--Any person that

                Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.).
            (3) Regulations.--The Commission may promulgate regulations 
        under section 553 of title 5, United States Code, with respect 
        to the collection, verification, or disclosure of information

        to what is necessary to collect, verify, and disclose such 
        information.
            (4) Authority preserved.--Nothing in this section shall be 
        construed to limit the authority of the Commission under any 
        other provision of law.
    (d) Enforcement by State Attorneys General.--
            (1) In general.--If the attorney general of a State has 
        reason to believe that any online marketplace has violated or 
        is violating this section or a regulation promulgated under 
        this section that affects one or more residents of that State, 
        the attorney general of the State may bring a civil action in 
        any appropriate district court of the United States, to--
                    (A) enjoin further such violation by the defendant;
                    (B) enforce compliance with this section or such 
                regulation;
                    (C) obtain civil penalties in the amount provided 
                for under subsection (c);
                    (D) obtain other remedies permitted under State 
                law; and
                    (E) obtain damages, restitution, or other 
                compensation on behalf of residents of the State.
            (2) Notice.--The attorney general of a State shall provide 
        prior written notice of any action under paragraph (1) to the 
        Commission and provide the Commission with a copy of the 
        complaint in the action, except in any case in which such prior 
        notice is not feasible, in which case the attorney general 
        shall serve such notice immediately upon instituting such 
        action.
            (3) Intervention by the commission.--Upon receiving notice 
        under paragraph (2), the Commission shall have the right--
                    (A) to intervene in the action;
                    (B) upon so intervening, to be heard on all matters 
                arising therein; and
                    (C) to file petitions for appeal.
            (4) Limitation on state action while federal action is 
        pending.--If the Commission has instituted a civil action for 
        violation of this section or a regulation promulgated under 
        this section, no State attorney general, or official or agency 
        of a State, may bring a separate action under paragraph (1) 
        during the pendency of that action against any defendant named 
        in the complaint of the Commission for any violation of this 
        section or a regulation promulgated under this section that is 
        alleged in the complaint. A State attorney general, or official 
        or agency of a State, may join a civil action for a violation 
        of this section or regulation promulgated under this section 
        filed by the Commission.
            (5) Rule of construction.--For purposes of bringing a civil 
        action under paragraph (1), nothing in this section shall be 
        construed to prevent the chief law enforcement officer, or 
        official or agency of a State, from exercising the powers 
        conferred on such chief law enforcement officer, or official or 
        agency of a State, by the laws of the State to conduct 
        investigations, administer oaths or affirmations, or compel the 
        attendance of witnesses or the production of documentary and 
        other evidence.
            (6) Actions by other state officials.--
                    (A) In general.--In addition to civil actions 
                brought by attorneys general under paragraph (1), any 
                other officer of a State who is authorized by the State 
                to do so, except for any private person on behalf of 
                the State attorney general, may bring a civil action 
                under paragraph (1), subject to the same requirements 
                and limitations that apply under this subsection to 
                civil actions brought by attorneys general.
                    (B) Savings provision.--Nothing in this subsection 
                may be construed to prohibit an authorized official of 
                a State from initiating or continuing any proceeding in 
                a court of the State for a violation of any civil or 
                criminal law of the State.
    (e) Severability.--If any provision of this section, or the 
application thereof to any person or circumstance, is held invalid, the 
remainder of this section and the application of such provision to 
other persons not similarly situated or to other circumstances shall 
not be affected by the invalidation.

SEC. 2325. GAO STUDY.

    (a) In General.--The Comptroller General of the United States 
(referred to in this section as the ``Comptroller General'') shall 
conduct a study to assess the extent to which the Department of Health 
and Human Services (referred to in this section as the ``Department'') 
utilizes or provides funding to entities that utilize such funds for 
human genomic sequencing services or genetic services (as such term is 
defined in section 201(6) of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination 
Act of 2008 (42 U.S.C. 2000ff(6))) provided by entities, or 
subsidiaries of such entities, organized under the laws of a country or 
countries of concern, in the estimation of the Director of National 
Intelligence or the head of another Federal department or agency, as 
appropriate.
    (b) Considerations.--In carrying out the study under this section, 
the Comptroller General shall--
            (1) consider--
                    (A) the extent to which the country or countries of 
                concern could obtain human genomic information of 
                citizens and residents of the United States from such 
                entities that sequence, analyze, collect, or store 
                human genomic information and which the Director of 
                National Intelligence or the head of another Federal 
                department or agency reasonably anticipates may use 
                such information in a manner inconsistent with the 
                national security interests of the United States;
                    (B) whether the Department or recipient of such 
                funds from the Department sought to provide funding to, 
                or to use, domestic entities with no such ties to the 
                country or countries of concern for such purposes and 
                any barriers to the use of domestic entities; and
                    (C) whether data use agreements, data security 
                measures, and other such measures taken by the 
                Department or recipient of such funds from the 
                Department are sufficient to protect the identifiable, 
                sensitive information of the people of the United 
                States and the national security interests of the 
                United States; and
            (2) make recommendations to address any vulnerabilities to 
        the United States national security identified, as appropriate.
    (c) Estimation.--In conducting the study under this section, the 
Comptroller General may, as appropriate and necessary to complete such 
study, investigate specific instances of such utilization of genetic 
sequencing services or genetic services, as described in subsection 
(a), to produce estimates of the potential prevalence of such 
utilization among entities in receipt of Departmental funds.
    (d) Report.--Not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of 
this Act, the Comptroller General shall submit a report on the study 
under this section, in a manner that does not compromise national 
security, to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions 
and the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate, and the 
Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence of the House of Representatives. The report shall be 
submitted in unclassified form, to the extent practicable, but may 
include a classified annex.

        reinspection of a manufacturer of an infant formula is required 
        to ensure that such manufacturer completed any remediation 
        actions or addressed any deficiencies, the Secretary shall 
        reinspect such facility in a timely manner. The Secretary shall

        U.S.C. 350a(c)(1)(A)), in accordance with a risk-based approach 
        and ensure timely and effective internal coordination and 
        alignment among the Office of Regulatory Affairs and the Center 
        for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. In meeting the 
        inspection requirements under this subsection, the Secretary 
        may rely on inspections conducted by foreign regulatory 
        authorities, under arrangements or agreements, and conducted by 
        State agencies under contract, memoranda of understanding, or 
        any other obligation.

        Secretary of Agriculture and other heads of relevant 
        departments and agencies, shall develop and issue, not later 
        than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, a 
        national strategy on infant formula to increase the resiliency 
        of the infant formula supply chain, protect against future 
        contamination and other potential causes of supply disruptions 
        and shortages, and ensure parents and caregivers have access to 
        infant formula and information they need.

                        existence as of the date of enactment of this 
                        Act and potential causes of future supply 
                        disruptions and shortages;
                            (ii) assessing and addressing immediate 
                        infant formula needs associated with the

Chapter IV of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 341 
et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following:

``SEC. 424. REQUIREMENTS FOR CRITICAL FOOD.

    ``(a) Notification of Meaningful Disruption for Critical Food.--
            ``(1) In general.--A manufacturer of a critical food (as 
        defined in section 201(ss)) shall notify the Secretary of a 
        permanent discontinuance in the manufacture or an interruption 
        of the manufacture of such food that is likely to lead to a 
        meaningful disruption in the supply of such food in the United 
        States, and the reasons for such discontinuance or 
        interruption, as soon as practicable, but not later than 5 
        business days after such discontinuance or such interruption.
            ``(2) Distribution of information.--Not later than 5 
        calendar days after receiving a notification under paragraph 
        (1), if the Secretary has determined that such discontinuance 
        or interruption has resulted, or is likely to result, in a 
        shortage of such critical food, the Secretary shall distribute, 
        to the Secretary of Agriculture and to the maximum extent 
        practicable to the appropriate entities, as determined by the 
        Secretary through such means as the Secretary determines 
        appropriate, information on such shortage.
            ``(3) Confidentiality.--Nothing in this subsection 
        authorizes the Secretary to disclose any information that is a 
        trade secret or confidential information subject to section 
        552(b)(4) of title 5, United States Code, or section 1905 of 
        title 18, United States Code.
            ``(4) Meaningful disruption.--In this subsection, the term 
        `meaningful disruption'--
                    ``(A) means a change in production that is 
                reasonably likely to lead to a significant reduction in 
                the supply of a critical food by a manufacturer that 
                affects the ability of the manufacturer to meet 
                expected demand for its product; and
                    ``(B) does not include interruptions in 
                manufacturing due to matters such as routine 
                maintenance, changes or discontinuance of flavors, 
                colors, or other insignificant formulation 
                characteristics, or insignificant changes in 
                manufacturing so long as the manufacturer expects to 
                resume operations in a short period of time.
    ``(b) Risk Management Plans.--Each manufacturer of a critical food 
shall develop, maintain, and implement, as appropriate, a redundancy 
risk management plan that identifies and evaluates risks to the supply 
of the food, as applicable, for each establishment in which such food 
is manufactured. A risk management plan under this subsection--
            ``(1) may identify and evaluate risks to the supply of more 
        than one critical food, or critical food category, manufactured 
        at the same establishment;
            ``(2) may identify mechanisms by which the manufacturer 
        would mitigate the impacts of a supply disruption through 
        alternative production sites, alternative suppliers, 
        stockpiling of inventory, or other means; and
            ``(3) shall be subject to inspection and copying by the 
        Secretary pursuant to an inspection under section 704.
    ``(c) Failure To Meet Requirements.--
            ``(1) In general.--If a person fails to submit information 
        required under, and in accordance with, subsection (a)--
                    ``(A) the Secretary shall issue a letter to such 
                person informing such person of such failure; and
                    ``(B) not later than 45 calendar days after the 
                issuance of a letter under subparagraph (A), subject to 
                paragraph (2), the Secretary shall make available to 
                the public on the website of the Food and Drug 
                Administration, with appropriate redactions made to 
                protect the information described in subsection 
                (a)(3)--
                            ``(i) the letter issued under subparagraph 
                        (A); and
                            ``(ii) at the request of such person, any 
                        response to such letter such person submitted 
                        to the Secretary.
            ``(2) Exception.--If the Secretary determines that the 
        letter under paragraph (1) was issued in error or, after review 
        of such response, the person had a reasonable basis for not 
        submitting a notification as required under subsection (a), the 
        requirements of paragraph (1)(B) shall not apply.''.
    (l) Specialty Infant Formula for Importation.--Section 412 of the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 350a), as amended by 
subsection (f)(2), is further amended by adding at the end the 
following:
    ``(m) Waiver of Requirements for Importation of Specialty Infant 
Formula.--
            ``(1) In general.--The Secretary may, during a shortage of 
        specialty infant formula as determined by the Secretary, waive 
        any requirement under this Act applicable to facilitate the 
        importation of specialty infant formula. Such a waiver may be 
        applicable to--
                    ``(A) the importation of specialty infant formula 
                from any country that is determined by the Secretary to 
                be implementing and enforcing requirements for infant 
                formula that provide a similar assurance of safety and 
                nutritional adequacy as the requirements of this Act; 
                or
                    ``(B) the distribution and sale of such imported 
                specialty infant formula.
            ``(2) Rule of construction.--Nothing in paragraph (1) shall 
        be construed to limit the authority of the Secretary to require 
        a recall of, or otherwise impose restrictions and requirements 
        under this Act with respect to, specialty infant formula that 
        is subject to a waiver under paragraph (1).
            ``(3) Definition of specialty infant formula.--In this 
        subsection, the term `specialty infant formula' means infant 
        formula described in subsection (h)(1).''.
    (m) Importation for Personal Use.--
            (1) In general.--Notwithstanding any provision of the 
        Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), 
        during the 90-day period beginning on the date of enactment of 
        this Act, an individual may, without prior notice to the Food 
        and Drug Administration, import up to a 3-month supply of 
        infant formula for personal use from--
                    (A) Canada;
                    (B) any country in the European Union; or
                    (C) any other country that is determined by the 
                Secretary to be implementing and enforcing requirements 
                for infant formula that provide a similar assurance of 
                safety and nutritional adequacy as the requirements of 
                the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 
                et seq.).
            (2) Limitations.--Infant formula may be imported pursuant 
        to paragraph (1) only if the infant formula--
                    (A) is exclusively for personal use and will not be 
                commercialized or promoted; and
                    (B) does not present an unreasonable risk to human 
                health.
            (3) Reporting of adverse events.--If a health care provider 
        becomes aware of any adverse event which the health care 
        provider reasonably suspects to be associated with infant 
        formula imported pursuant to paragraph (1), the health care 
        provider shall report such adverse event to the Commissioner of 
        Food and Drugs.
            (4) Public notice.--The Secretary, acting through the 
        Commissioner of Food and Drugs, shall post on the public 
        website of the Food and Drug Administration notice that--
                    (A) infant formula imported pursuant to paragraph 
                (1) may not have been manufactured in a facility that 
                has been inspected by the Food and Drug Administration;
                    (B) the labeling of such infant formula may not 
                meet the standards and other requirements applicable 
                with respect to infant formula under the Federal Food, 
                Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.); and
                    (C) the nutritional content of infant formula 
                imported pursuant to paragraph (1) may vary from that 
                of infant formula meeting such standards and other 
                requirements.
            (5) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
        persons considering the personal importation of infant formula 
        should consult with their pediatrician about such importation.

event report, or any new information, voluntarily submitted to the 
Secretary shall be considered to be--
            ``(1) a safety report under section 756 and may be 
        accompanied by a statement, which shall be a part of any report 
        that is released for public disclosure, that denies that the

        title 5, United States Code (commonly referred to as the

    ``(a) In General.--The Secretary shall by regulation establish good 
manufacturing practices for facilities that are consistent, to the 
extent practicable, and appropriate, with national and international 
standards, in accordance with section 601. Any such regulations shall 
be intended to protect the public health and ensure that cosmetic 
products are not adulterated. Such regulations may allow for the 
Secretary to inspect records necessary to demonstrate compliance with 
good manufacturing practices prescribed by the Secretary under this 
paragraph during an inspection conducted under section 704.
    ``(b) Considerations.--In establishing regulations for good 
manufacturing practices under this section, the Secretary shall take 
into account the size and scope of the businesses engaged in the 
manufacture of cosmetics, and the risks to public health posed by such 
cosmetics, and provide sufficient flexibility to be practicable for all 
sizes and types of facilities to which such regulations will apply. 
Such regulations shall include simplified good manufacturing practice 
requirements for smaller businesses, as appropriate, to ensure that 
such regulations do not impose undue economic hardship for smaller 
businesses, and may include longer compliance times for smaller 
businesses. Before issuing regulations to implement subsection (a), the 
Secretary shall consult with cosmetics manufacturers, including smaller 
businesses, consumer organizations, and other experts selected by the 
Secretary.

        Secretary determines that a cosmetic product manufactured or 
        processed by a registered facility and distributed in the 
        United States has a reasonable probability of causing serious 
        adverse health consequences or death to humans and the 
        Secretary has a reasonable belief that other products 
        manufactured or processed by the facility may be similarly 
        affected because of a failure that cannot be isolated to a 
        product or products, or is sufficiently pervasive to raise 
        concerns about other products manufactured in the facility.
            ``(2) Notice of suspension.--Before suspending a facility 
        registration under this section, the Secretary shall provide--
                    ``(A) notice to the facility registrant of the 
                cosmetic product or other responsible person, as 
                appropriate, of the intent to suspend the facility 
                registration, which shall specify the basis of the 
                determination by the Secretary that the facility 
                registration should be suspended; and

                notice provided under subparagraph (A), for the

                reasons for possible suspension of the facility 
                registration.

        the registrant subject to an order under paragraph (1) or (2) 
        with an opportunity for an informal hearing, to be held as soon 
        as possible but not later than 5 business days after the 
        issuance of the order, or such other time period agreed upon by 
        the Secretary and the registrant, on the actions required for 
        reinstatement of registration and why the registration that is 
        subject to the suspension should be reinstated. The Secretary 
        shall reinstate a registration if the Secretary determines, 
        based on evidence presented, that adequate grounds do not exist 
        to continue the suspension of the registration.
            ``(4) Post-hearing corrective action plan.--If, after 
        providing opportunity for an informal hearing under paragraph 
        (3), the Secretary determines that the suspension of 
        registration remains necessary, the Secretary shall require the 
        registrant to submit a corrective action plan to demonstrate 
        how the registrant plans to correct the conditions found by the 
        Secretary. The Secretary shall review such plan not later than 
        14 business days after the submission of the corrective action 
        plan or such other time period as determined by the Secretary, 
        in consultation with the registrant.
            ``(5) Vacating of order; reinstatement.--Upon a 
        determination by the Secretary that adequate grounds do not 
        exist to continue the suspension actions, the Secretary shall 
        promptly vacate the suspension and reinstate the registration 
        of the facility.
            ``(6) Effect of suspension.--If the registration of the 
        facility is suspended under this section, no person shall 
        introduce or deliver for introduction into commerce in the 
        United States cosmetic products from such facility.
            ``(7) No delegation.--The authority conferred by this 
        section to issue an order to suspend a registration or vacate 
        an order of suspension shall not be delegated to any officer or 
        employee other than the Commissioner.

    ``(c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
            ``(1) Adequate substantiation of safety.--The term 
        `adequate substantiation of safety' means tests or studies, 
        research, analyses, or other evidence or information that is 
        considered, among experts qualified by scientific training and 
        experience to evaluate the safety of cosmetic products and 
        their ingredients, sufficient to support a reasonable certainty 
        that a cosmetic product is safe.
            ``(2) Safe.--The term `safe' means that the cosmetic 
        product, including any ingredient thereof, is not injurious to 
        users under the conditions of use prescribed in the labeling 
        thereof, or under such conditions of use as are customary or 
        usual. The Secretary shall not consider a cosmetic ingredient 
        or cosmetic product injurious to users solely because it can 
        cause minor and transient reactions or minor and transient skin 
        irritations in some users. In determining for purposes of this 
        section whether a cosmetic product is safe, the Secretary may 
        consider, as appropriate and available, the cumulative or other 
        relevant exposure to the cosmetic product, including any 
        ingredient thereof.

``SEC. 609. LABELING.

    ``(a) General Requirement.--Each cosmetic product shall bear a 
label that includes a domestic address, domestic phone number, or 
electronic contact information, which may include a website, through 
which the responsible person can receive adverse event reports with 
respect to such cosmetic product.
    ``(b) Fragrance Allergens.--The responsible person shall identify 
on the label of a cosmetic product each fragrance allergen included in 
such cosmetic product. Substances that are fragrance allergens for 
purposes of this subsection shall be determined by the Secretary by 
regulation. The Secretary shall issue a notice of proposed rulemaking 
promulgating the regulation implementing this requirement not later 
than 18 months after the date of enactment of the Modernization of 
Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022, and not later than 180 days after the 
date on which the public comment period on the proposed rulemaking 
closes, shall issue a final rulemaking. In promulgating regulations 
implementing this subsection, the Secretary shall consider 
international, State, and local requirements for allergen disclosure, 
including the substance and format of requirements in the European 
Union, and may establish threshold levels of amounts of substances 
subject to disclosure pursuant to such regulations.
    ``(c) Cosmetic Products for Professional Use.--
            ``(1) Definition of professional.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, the term `professional' means an individual who is 
        licensed by an official State authority to practice in the 
        field of cosmetology, nail care, barbering, or esthetics.
            ``(2) Professional use labeling.--A cosmetic product 
        introduced into interstate commerce and intended to be used 
        only by a professional shall bear a label that--
                    ``(A) contains a clear and prominent statement that 
                the product shall be administered or used only by 
                licensed professionals; and

                Secretary for cosmetics labeling under this Act and 
                section 4(a) of the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act.

``SEC. 610. RECORDS.

    ``(a) In General.--If the Secretary has a reasonable belief that a 
cosmetic product, including an ingredient in such cosmetic product, and 
any other cosmetic product that the Secretary reasonably believes is 
likely to be affected in a similar manner, is likely to be adulterated 
such that the use or exposure to such product presents a threat of 
serious adverse health consequences or death to humans, each 
responsible person and facility shall, at the request of an officer or 
employee duly designated by the Secretary, permit such officer or 
employee, upon presentation of appropriate credentials and a written 
notice to such person, at reasonable times and within reasonable limits 
and in a reasonable manner, to have access to and copy all records 
relating to such cosmetic product, and to any other cosmetic product 
that the Secretary reasonably believes is likely to be affected in a 
similar manner, that are needed to assist the Secretary in determining 
whether the cosmetic product is adulterated and presents a threat of 
serious adverse health consequences or death to humans. This subsection 
shall not be construed to extend to recipes or formulas for cosmetics, 
financial data, pricing data, personnel data (other than data as to 
qualification of technical and professional personnel performing 
functions subject to this Act), research data (other than safety 
substantiation data for cosmetic products and their ingredients), or 
sales data (other than shipment data regarding sales).
    ``(b) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to limit the authority of the Secretary to inspect records or 
require establishment and maintenance of records under any other 
provision of this Act, including section 605 or 606.

``SEC. 611. MANDATORY RECALL AUTHORITY.

    ``(a) In General.--If the Secretary determines that there is a 
reasonable probability that a cosmetic is adulterated under section 601 
or misbranded under section 602 and the use of or exposure to such 
cosmetic will cause serious adverse health consequences or death, the 
Secretary shall provide the responsible person with an opportunity to 
voluntarily cease distribution and recall such article. If the 
responsible person refuses to or does not voluntarily cease 
distribution or recall such cosmetic within the time and manner 
prescribed by the Secretary (if so prescribed), the Secretary may, by 
order, require, as the Secretary determines necessary, such person to 
immediately cease distribution of such article.
    ``(b) Hearing.--The Secretary shall provide the responsible person 
who is subject to an order under subsection (a) with an opportunity for 
an informal hearing, to be held not later than 10 days after the date 
of issuance of the order, on whether adequate evidence exists to 
justify the order.
    ``(c) Order Resolution.--After an order is issued according to the 
process under subsections (a) and (b), the Secretary shall, except as 
provided in subsection (d)--
            ``(1) vacate the order, if the Secretary determines that 
        inadequate grounds exist to support the actions required by the 
        order;
            ``(2) continue the order ceasing distribution of the

            (1) Provides, in consultation with health care providers 
        and stakeholders with expertise in mental health and substance 
        use disorder crisis response services, recommendations for an 
        effective continuum of crisis response services that--
                    (A) includes crisis call centers, including 988 
                crisis services hotlines, mobile crisis teams, crisis 
                response services delivered in home, community, 
                residential facility, and hospital settings, and

                response services in the least restrictive setting 
                appropriate to an individual's needs; and
                    (C) promotes culturally competent, trauma-informed 
                care, and crisis de-escalation.
            (2) Outlines the Federal authorities through which States 
        may finance and enhance under Medicaid and CHIP the 
        availability of crisis response services across each stage of 
        the continuum of crisis response services.
            (3) Addresses how States under Medicaid and CHIP may 
        support the ongoing implementation of crisis call centers, 
        including 988 crisis services hotlines, and how Medicaid 
        administrative funding, including enhanced matching, and the 
        Medicaid Information Technology Architecture 3.0 framework, may 
        be used to establish or enhance regional or statewide crisis 
        call centers, including 988 crisis services hotlines, that 
        coordinate in real time.
            (4) Identifies how States under Medicaid and CHIP may 
        support access to crisis response services that are responsive 
        to the needs of children, youth, and families, including

        crisis response services with respect to differing patient 
        populations, including urban, rural, and frontier communities, 
        differing age groups, cultural and linguistic minorities, 
        individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use 
        disorder conditions, and individuals with disabilities.
            (6) Identifies policies and practices to promote evidence-
        based suicide risk screenings and assessments.
            (7) Identifies strategies to facilitate timely provision of 
        crisis response services, including how States can enable 
        access to crisis response services without requiring a 
        diagnosis, the use of presumptive eligibility at different 
        stages of the continuum of crisis response services, the use of 
        telehealth to deliver crisis response services, strategies to 
        make crisis response services available 24/7 in medically 
        underserved regions, and best practices used by States and 
        health providers for maximizing capacity to deliver crisis 
        response services, such as identifying and repurposing 
        available beds, space, and staff for crisis response services.
            (8) Describes best practices for coordinating Medicaid and 
        CHIP funding with other payors and sources of Federal funding 
        for mental health and substance use disorder crisis response 
        services, and best practices for Medicaid and CHIP financing

        financing a continuum of crisis response services through 
        Medicaid managed care organizations, prepaid inpatient health 
        plans, prepaid ambulatory health plans, and fee-for-service 
        delivery systems, including when States carve-out from delivery 
        through Medicaid managed care organizations, prepaid inpatient 
        health plans, prepaid ambulatory health plans, or fee-for-
        service systems, mental health or substance use disorder 
        benefits or a subset of such services.
            (11) Identifies strategies and best practices for measuring

        Secretary, in coordination with the Administrator of the 
        Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Assistant 
        Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use, shall establish 
        a technical assistance center to help States under Medicaid and 
        CHIP design, implement, or enhance a continuum of crisis 
        response services for children, youth, and adults. Such 
        technical assistance shall, at least in part, provide support 
        to States in--

                substance use disorder crisis response services; and
                    (C) after the guidance described in subsection (a) 
                is issued, adopting the best practices and strategies 
                identified in such guidance.
            (2) Compendium of best practices.--The Secretary shall 
        develop and maintain a publicly available compendium of best 
        practices for the successful operation under Medicaid and CHIP

        TITLE II--DISCLOSURE OF SUBSIDIES BY FOREIGN ADVERSARIES

SEC. 201. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Foreign subsidies, which can take the form of direct 
        subsidies, grants, loans (including below-market loans), loan 
        guarantees, tax concessions, preferential government 
        procurement policies, or government ownership or control, can 
        distort the competitive process by enabling the subsidized firm 
        to submit a bid higher than other firms in the market, or 
        otherwise change the incentives of the firm in ways that 
        undermine competition following an acquisition.
            (2) Foreign subsidies are particularly problematic when 
        granted by countries or entities that constitute a strategic or 
        economic threat to United States interests.
            (3) The Made in China 2025 plan, states that the Chinese 
        Communist Party will ``support enterprises to carry out mergers 
        and acquisitions (M&A), equity investment, and venture capital 
        overseas''.
            (4) The 2020 report to Congress from the bipartisan U.S.-
        China Economic and Security Review Commission concluded that 
        the Chinese Government subsidizes companies with a goal of 
        their expanding into the United States and other countries, 
        finding that ``[t]his process assists Chinese national 
        champions in surpassing and supplanting global market 
        leaders''. The report warns that the risk is particularly acute 
        when it comes to emerging technologies, where China seeks to 
        ``surpass and displace the United States altogether [and that] 
        [f]ailure to appreciate the gravity of this challenge and 
        defend U.S. competitiveness would be dire . . . [and] risks 
        setting back U.S. economic and technological progress for 
        decades''.
            (5) In remarks before the Hudson Institute on December 8, 
        2020, FTC Commissioner Noah Phillips stated, ``[O]ne area where 
        antitrust needs to reckon with the strategic interests of other 
        nations is when we scrutinize mergers or conduct involving 
        state-owned entities . . . companies that are controlled, to 
        varying degrees, by the state . . . [and] often are a 
        government tool for implementing industrial policies or to 
        protect national security''.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to require parties 
providing pre-merger notifications to include in the notification 
required under section 7A of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. 18a) 
information concerning subsidies they receive from countries or 
entities that are strategic or economic threats to the United States.

SEC. 202. MERGERS INVOLVING FOREIGN GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES.

    (a) Definition.--In this section, the term ``foreign entity of 
concern'' has the meaning given the term in section 40207 of the 
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (42 U.S.C. 18741(a)).
    (b) Accounting for Foreign Government Subsidies.--A person required 
to file a notification under section 7A of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. 
18a) that received a subsidy from a foreign entity of concern shall

(1) A decision review time that would otherwise end on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, will be extended
  to end on the next business day.
(2) All requests for new uses (food and/or nonfood) contained in any application for a new active ingredient or
  a first food use are covered by the base fee for that new active ingredient or first food use application and
  retain the same decision time review period as the new active ingredient or first food use application. The
  application must be received by the Agency in one package. The base fee for the category covers a maximum of
  five new products. Each application for an additional new product registration and new inert approval that is
  submitted in the new active ingredient application package or first food use application package is subject to
  the registration service fee for a new product or a new inert approval. All such associated applications that
  are submitted together will be subject to the new active ingredient or first food use decision review time. In
  the case of a new active ingredient application, until that new active ingredient is approved, any subsequent
  application for another new product containing the same active ingredient or an amendment to the proposed
  labeling will be deemed a new active ingredient application, subject to the registration service fee and
  decision review time for a new active ingredient. In the case of a first food use application, until that
  first food use is approved, any subsequent application for an additional new food use or uses will be subject
  to the registration service fee and decision review time for a first food use. Any information that (a) was
  neither requested nor required by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant's
  initiative to support the application after completion of the preliminary technical screening, and (c) is not
  itself a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full registration service fee for the
  new active ingredient or first food use application.
(3) Where the action involves approval of a new or amended label, on or before the end date of the decision
  review time, the Agency shall provide to the applicant a draft accepted label, including any changes made by
  the Agency that differ from the applicant-submitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the Agency.
  The applicant will notify the Agency that the applicant either (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with
  the draft accepted label as amended by the Agency and requests that it be issued as the accepted final Agency-
  stamped label; or (b) does not agree to one or more of the terms of the draft accepted label as amended by the
  Agency and requests additional time to resolve the difference(s); or (c) withdraws the application without
  prejudice for subsequent resubmission, but forfeits the associated registration service fee. For cases
  described in (b), the applicant shall have up to 30 calendar days to reach agreement with the Agency on the
  final terms of the Agency-accepted label. If the applicant agrees to all of the terms of the accepted label as
  in (a), including upon resolution of differences in (b), the Agency shall provide an accepted final Agency-
  stamped label to the registrant within 2 business days following the registrant's written or electronic
  confirmation of agreement to the Agency.
(4) If the Administrator determines that endangered species analysis is required for this action, using guidance
  finalized according to section 33(c)(3)(B) for this specific type of action, the decision review time can be
  extended for endangered species assessment one time only for up to 50%, upon written notification to the
  applicant, prior to completion of the technical screening. To the extent practicable, any reason for
  renegotiation should be resolved during the same extension.

(1) A decision review time that would otherwise end on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, will be extended
  to end on the next business day.
(2) All requests for new uses (food and/or nonfood) contained in any application for a new active ingredient or
  a first food use are covered by the base fee for that new active ingredient or first food use application and
  retain the same decision time review period as the new active ingredient or first food use application. The
  application must be received by the Agency in one package. The base fee for the category covers a maximum of
  five new products. Each application for an additional new product registration and new inert approval that is
  submitted in the new active ingredient application package or first food use application package is subject to
  the registration service fee for a new product or a new inert approval. All such associated applications that
  are submitted together will be subject to the new active ingredient or first food use decision review time. In
  the case of a new active ingredient application, until that new active ingredient is approved, any subsequent
  application for another new product containing the same active ingredient or an amendment to the proposed
  labeling will be deemed a new active ingredient application, subject to the registration service fee and
  decision review time for a new active ingredient. In the case of a first food use application, until that
  first food use is approved, any subsequent application for an additional new food use or uses will be subject
  to the registration service fee and decision review time for a first food use. Any information that (a) was
  neither requested nor required by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant's
  initiative to support the application after completion of the preliminary technical screening, and (c) is not
  itself a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full registration service fee for the
  new active ingredient or first food use application.
(3) Where the action involves approval of a new or amended label, on or before the end date of the decision
  review time, the Agency shall provide to the applicant a draft accepted label, including any changes made by
  the Agency that differ from the applicant-submitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the Agency.
  The applicant will notify the Agency that the applicant either (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with
  the draft accepted label as amended by the Agency and requests that it be issued as the accepted final Agency-
  stamped label; or (b) does not agree to one or more of the terms of the draft accepted label as amended by the
  Agency and requests additional time to resolve the difference(s); or (c) withdraws the application without
  prejudice for subsequent resubmission, but forfeits the associated registration service fee. For cases
  described in (b), the applicant shall have up to 30 calendar days to reach agreement with the Agency on the
  final terms of the Agency-accepted label. If the applicant agrees to all of the terms of the accepted label as
  in (a), including upon resolution of differences in (b), the Agency shall provide an accepted final Agency-
  stamped label to the registrant within 2 business days following the registrant's written or electronic
  confirmation of agreement to the Agency.
(4) Amendment applications to add the new use(s) to registered product labels are covered by the base fee for
  the new use(s). All items in the covered application must be submitted together in one package. Each
  application for an additional new product registration and new inert approval(s) that is submitted in the new
  use application package is subject to the registration service fee for a new product or a new inert approval.
  However, if a new use application only proposes to register the new use for a new product and there are no
  amendments in the application, then review of one new product application is covered by the new use fee. All
  such associated applications that are submitted together will be subject to the new use decision review time.
  Any application for a new product or an amendment to the proposed labeling (a) submitted subsequent to
  submission of the new use application and (b) prior to conclusion of its decision review time and (c)
  containing the same new uses, will be deemed a separate new-use application, subject to a separate
  registration service fee and new decision review time for a new use. If the new-use application includes non-
  food (indoor and/or outdoor), and food (outdoor and/or indoor) uses, the appropriate fee is due for each type
  of new use and the longest decision review time applies to all of the new uses requested in the application.
  Any information that (a) was neither requested nor required by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the
  applicant at the applicant's initiative to support the application after completion of the preliminary
  technical screening, and (c) is not itself a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the
  full registration service fee for the new use application.
(5) If the Administrator determines that endangered species analysis is required for this action, using guidance
  finalized according to section 33(c)(3)(B) for this specific type of action, the decision review time can be
  extended for endangered species assessment one time only for up to 50%, upon written notification to the
  applicant, prior to completion of the technical screening. To the extent practicable, any reason for
  renegotiation should be resolved during the same extension.

(1) A decision review time that would otherwise end on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, will be extended
  to end on the next business day.
(2) An application for a new end-use product using a source of active ingredient that (a) is not yet registered
  but (b) has an application pending with the Agency for review, will be considered an application for a new
  product with an unregistered source of active ingredient.
(3) Where the action involves approval of a new or amended label, on or before the end date of the decision
  review time, the Agency shall provide to the applicant a draft accepted label, including any changes made by
  the Agency that differ from the applicant-submitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the Agency.
  The applicant will notify the Agency that the applicant either (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with
  the draft accepted label as amended by the Agency and requests that it be issued as the accepted final Agency-
  stamped label; or (b) does not agree to one or more of the terms of the draft accepted label as amended by the
  Agency and requests additional time to resolve the difference(s); or (c) withdraws the application without
  prejudice for subsequent resubmission, but forfeits the associated registration service fee. For cases
  described in (b), the applicant shall have up to 30 calendar days to reach agreement with the Agency on the
  final terms of the Agency-accepted label. If the applicant agrees to all of the terms of the accepted label as
  in (a), including upon resolution of differences in (b), the Agency shall provide an accepted final Agency-
  stamped label to the registrant within 2 business days following the registrant's written or electronic
  confirmation of agreement to the Agency.
(4) For the purposes of classifying proposed registration actions into PRIA categories, ``pest(s) requiring
  efficacy'' are both invertebrate and vertebrate pests. Invertebrate public health pests (e.g., ticks,
  mosquitoes, cockroaches, flies, etc.), structural pests (e.g., termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring
  beetles) and certain invasive invertebrate species (e.g., Asian Longhorned beetle, Emerald Ashborer) are
  listed in the product performance rule, subpart R of part 158 of title 40, Code of Federal Regulations. This
  list may be updated/refined as invasive pest needs arise. All other pests (e.g., vertebrates) are listed in
  the Pesticide Registration Notice 2002-1. To determine the number of pests for the PRIA categories, pest
  groups, subgroups, and pest specific claims as listed in part 158 of title 40, Code of Federal Regulations,
  should be counted as follows. If seeking a label claim against a general pest group (e.g., cockroaches,
  mosquitoes, termites, etc.), each group will count as 1. If seeking a claim against a pest subgroup (e.g.,
  small biting flies, filth flies, etc.) or specific pests (e.g., smokybrown cockroach, house fly, etc.) without
  a general claim, then each subgroup or specific pest will count as 1.
(5) If the Administrator determines that endangered species analysis is required for this action, using guidance
  finalized according to section 33(c)(3)(B) for this specific type of action, the decision review time can be
  extended for endangered species assessment one time only for up to 50%, upon written notification to the
  applicant, prior to completion of the technical screening. To the extent practicable, any reason for
  renegotiation should be resolved during the same extension.

(1) A decision review time that would otherwise end on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, will be extended
  to end on the next business day.
(2) (a) EPA-initiated amendments shall not be charged registration service fees. (b) Registrant-initiated fast-
  track amendments are to be completed within the timelines specified in section 3(c)(3)(B) and are not subject
  to registration service fees. (c) Registrant-initiated fast-track amendments handled by the Antimicrobials
  Division are to be completed within the timelines specified in section 3(h) and are not subject to
  registration service fees. (d) Registrant initiated amendments submitted by notification under PR Notices,
  such as PR Notice 98-10, continue under PR Notice timelines and are not subject to registration service fees.
  (e) Submissions with data and requiring data review are subject to registration service fees.
(3) Where the action involves approval of a new or amended label, on or before the end date of the decision
  review time, the Agency shall provide to the applicant a draft accepted label, including any changes made by
  the Agency that differ from the applicant-submitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the Agency.
  The applicant will notify the Agency that the applicant either (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with
  the draft accepted label as amended by the Agency and requests that it be issued as the accepted final Agency-
  stamped label; or (b) does not agree to one or more of the terms of the draft accepted label as amended by the
  Agency and requests additional time to resolve the difference(s); or (c) withdraws the application without
  prejudice for subsequent resubmission, but forfeits the associated registration service fee. For cases
  described in (b), the applicant shall have up to 30 calendar days to reach agreement with the Agency on the
  final terms of the Agency-accepted label. If the applicant agrees to all of the terms of the accepted label as
  in (a), including upon resolution of differences in (b), the Agency shall provide an accepted final Agency-
  stamped label to the registrant within 2 business days following the registrant's written or electronic
  confirmation of agreement to the Agency.
(4) For the purposes of classifying proposed registration actions into PRIA categories, ``pest(s) requiring
  efficacy'' are both invertebrate and vertebrate pests. Invertebrate public health pests (e.g., ticks,
  mosquitoes, cockroaches, flies, etc.), structural pests (e.g., termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring
  beetles) and certain invasive invertebrate species (e.g., Asian Longhorned beetle, Emerald Ashborer) are
  listed in the product performance rule, subpart R of part 158 of title 40, Code of Federal Regulations. This
  list may be updated/refined as invasive pest needs arise. All other pests (e.g., vertebrates) are listed in
  the Pesticide Registration Notice 2002-1. To determine the number of pests for the PRIA categories, pest
  groups, subgroups, and pest specific claims as listed in part 158 of title 40, Code of Federal Regulations,
  should be counted as follows. If seeking a label claim against a general pest group (e.g., cockroaches,
  mosquitoes, termites, etc.), each group will count as 1. If seeking a claim against a pest subgroup (e.g.,
  small biting flies, filth flies, etc.) or specific pests (e.g., smokybrown cockroach, house fly, etc.) without
  a general claim, then each subgroup or specific pest will count as 1.
(5) If the Administrator determines that endangered species analysis is required for this action, using guidance
  finalized according to section 33(c)(3)(B) for this specific type of action, the decision review time can be
  extended for endangered species assessment one time only for up to 50%, upon written notification to the
  applicant, prior to completion of the technical screening. To the extent practicable, any reason for
  renegotiation should be resolved during the same extension.

  a first food use are covered by the base fee for that new active ingredient or first food use application and
  retain the same decision time review period as the new active ingredient or first food use application. The

  to the registration service fee and decision review time for a first food use. Any information that (a) was
  neither requested nor required by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant's
  initiative to support the application after completion of the preliminary technical screening, and (c) is not
  itself a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full registration service fee for the

(3) If EPA data rules are amended to newly require clearance under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
  Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 346a) for an ingredient of an antimicrobial product where such ingredient was not
  previously subject to such a clearance, then review of the data for such clearance of such product is not
  subject to a registration service fee for the tolerance action for two years from the effective date of the
  rule.
(4) Where the action involves approval of a new or amended label, on or before the end date of the decision
  review time, the Agency shall provide to the applicant a draft accepted label, including any changes made by
  the Agency that differ from the applicant-submitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the Agency.
  The applicant will notify the Agency that the applicant either (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with
  the draft accepted label as amended by the Agency and requests that it be issued as the accepted final Agency-
  stamped label; or (b) does not agree to one or more of the terms of the draft accepted label as amended by the
  Agency and requests additional time to resolve the difference(s); or (c) withdraws the application without
  prejudice for subsequent resubmission, but forfeits the associated registration service fee. For cases
  described in (b), the applicant shall have up to 30 calendar days to reach agreement with the Agency on the
  final terms of the Agency-accepted label. If the applicant agrees to all of the terms of the accepted label as
  in (a), including upon resolution of differences in (b), the Agency shall provide an accepted final Agency-
  stamped label to the registrant within 2 business days following the registrant's written or electronic
  confirmation of agreement to the Agency.
(5) Amendment applications to add the new use(s) to registered product labels are covered by the base fee for
  the new use(s). All items in the covered application must be submitted together in one package. Each
  application for an additional new product registration and new inert approval(s) that is submitted in the new
  use application package is subject to the registration service fee for a new product or a new inert approval.
  However, if a new use application only proposes to register the new use for a new product and there are no
  amendments in the application, then review of one new product application is covered by the new use fee. All
  such associated applications that are submitted together will be subject to the new use decision review time.
  Any application for a new product or an amendment to the proposed labeling (a) submitted subsequent to
  submission of the new use application and (b) prior to conclusion of its decision review time and (c)
  containing the same new uses, will be deemed a separate new-use application, subject to a separate
  registration service fee and new decision review time for a new use. If the new-use application includes non-
  food (indoor and/or outdoor), and food (outdoor and/or indoor) uses, the appropriate fee is due for each type
  of new use and the longest decision review time applies to all of the new uses requested in the application.
  Any information that (a) was neither requested nor required by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the
  applicant at the applicant's initiative to support the application after completion of the preliminary
  technical screening, and (c) is not itself a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the
  full registration service fee for the new use application.
(6) If the Administrator determines that endangered species analysis is required for this action, using guidance
  finalized according to section 33(c)(3)(B) for this specific type of action, the decision review time can be

(1) A decision review time that would otherwise end on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, will be extended
  to end on the next business day.
(2) An application for a new end-use product using a source of active ingredient that (a) is not yet registered
  but (b) has an application pending with the Agency for review, will be considered an application for a new
  product with an unregistered source of active ingredient.
(3) Where the action involves approval of a new or amended label, on or before the end date of the decision
  review time, the Agency shall provide to the applicant a draft accepted label, including any changes made by
  the Agency that differ from the applicant-submitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the Agency.
  The applicant will notify the Agency that the applicant either (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with
  the draft accepted label as amended by the Agency and requests that it be issued as the accepted final Agency-
  stamped label; or (b) does not agree to one or more of the terms of the draft accepted label as amended by the
  Agency and requests additional time to resolve the difference(s); or (c) withdraws the application without
  prejudice for subsequent resubmission, but forfeits the associated registration service fee. For cases
  described in (b), the applicant shall have up to 30 calendar days to reach agreement with the Agency on the
  final terms of the Agency-accepted label. If the applicant agrees to all of the terms of the accepted label as
  in (a), including upon resolution of differences in (b), the Agency shall provide an accepted final Agency-
  stamped label to the registrant within 2 business days following the registrant's written or electronic
  confirmation of agreement to the Agency.
(4) (a) EPA-initiated amendments shall not be charged registration service fees. (b) Registrant-initiated fast-
  track amendments are to be completed within the timelines specified in section 3(c)(3)(B) and are not subject
  to registration service fees. (c) Registrant-initiated fast-track amendments handled by the Antimicrobials
  Division are to be completed within the timelines specified in section 3(h) and are not subject to
  registration service fees. (d) Registrant initiated amendments submitted by notification under Pesticide
  Registration (PR) Notices, such as PR Notice 98-10, continue under PR Notice timelines and are not subject to
  registration service fees. (e) Submissions with data and requiring data review are subject to registration
  service fees.
(5) The applicant must identify the substantially similar product if opting to use cite-all or the selective
  method to support acute toxicity data requirements.
(6) Once an application for an amendment or a new product with public health organisms has been submitted and
  classified into any of categories A460 through A465 or A470 through A475, additional organisms submitted for
  the same product before the first application is granted will result in combination and reclassification of
  both the original and subsequent submissions into the appropriate new category based on the sum of the number
  of organisms in both submissions. Submission of additional organisms would result in a new PRIA start date and
  may require additional fees to meet the fee of a new category.
(7) If the Administrator determines that endangered species analysis is required for this action, using guidance
  finalized according to section 33(c)(3)(B) for this specific type of action, the decision review time can be
  extended for endangered species assessment one time only for up to 50%, upon written notification to the
  applicant, prior to completion of the technical screening. To the extent practicable, any reason for
  renegotiation should be resolved during the same extension.

  first food use is approved, any subsequent application for an additional new food use or uses will be subject
  to the registration service fee and decision review time for a first food use. Any information that (a) was
  neither requested nor required by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant's

  new active ingredient or first food use application.
(3) Amendment applications to add the new use(s) to registered product labels are covered by the base fee for
  the new use(s). All items in the covered application must be submitted together in one package. Each
  application for an additional new product registration and new inert approval(s) that is submitted in the new
  use application package is subject to the registration service fee for a new product or a new inert approval.
  However, if a new use application only proposes to register the new use for a new product and there are no
  amendments in the application, then review of one new product application is covered by the new use fee. All
  such associated applications that are submitted together will be subject to the new use decision review time.
  Any application for a new product or an amendment to the proposed labeling (a) submitted subsequent to
  submission of the new use application and (b) prior to conclusion of its decision review time and (c)
  containing the same new uses, will be deemed a separate new-use application, subject to a separate
  registration service fee and new decision review time for a new use. If the new-use application includes non-
  food (indoor and/or outdoor), and food (outdoor and/or indoor) uses, the appropriate fee is due for each type
  of new use and the longest decision review time applies to all of the new uses requested in the application.
  Any information that (a) was neither requested nor required by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the
  applicant at the applicant's initiative to support the application after completion of the preliminary
  technical screen, and (c) is not itself a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full
  registration service fee for the new use application.
(4) Where the action involves approval of a new or amended label, on or before the end date of the decision
  review time, the Agency shall provide to the applicant a draft accepted label, including any changes made by
  the Agency that differ from the applicant-submitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the Agency.
  The applicant will notify the Agency that the applicant either (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with

  described in (b), the applicant shall have up to 30 calendar days to reach agreement with the Agency on the
  final terms of the Agency-accepted label. If the applicant agrees to all of the terms of the accepted label as

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) A decision review time that would otherwise end on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, will be extended
  to end on the next business day.
(2) All requests for new uses (food and/or nonfood) contained in any application for a new active ingredient or
  a first food use are covered by the base fee for that new active ingredient or first food use application and
  retain the same decision time review period as the new active ingredient or first food use application. The
  application must be received by the Agency in one package. The base fee for the category covers a maximum of
  five new products. Each application for an additional new product registration and new inert approval that is
  submitted in the new active ingredient application package or first food use application package is subject to
  the registration service fee for a new product or a new inert approval. All such associated applications that
  are submitted together will be subject to the new active ingredient or first food use decision review time. In
  the case of a new active ingredient application, until that new active ingredient is approved, any subsequent
  application for another new product containing the same active ingredient or an amendment to the proposed
  labeling will be deemed a new active ingredient application, subject to the registration service fee and
  decision review time for a new active ingredient. In the case of a first food use application, until that
  first food use is approved, any subsequent application for an additional new food use or uses will be subject
  to the registration service fee and decision review time for a first food use. Any information that (a) was
  neither requested nor required by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant's
  initiative to support the application after completion of the preliminary technical screening, and (c) is not
  itself a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full registration service fee for the
  new active ingredient or first food use application.
(3) An application for a new end-use product using a source of active ingredient that (a) is not yet registered
  but (b) has an application pending with the Agency for review, will be considered an application for a new
  product with an unregistered source of active ingredient.
(4) (a) EPA-initiated amendments shall not be charged registration service fees. (b) Registrant-initiated fast-
  track amendments are to be completed within the timelines specified in section 3(c)(3)(B) and are not subject
  to registration service fees. (c) Registrant-initiated fast-track amendments handled by the Antimicrobials
  Division are to be completed within the timelines specified in section 3(h) and are not subject to
  registration service fees. (d) Registrant initiated amendments submitted by notification under Pesticide
  Registration (PR) Notices, such as PR Notice 98-10, continue under PR Notice timelines and are not subject to
  registration service fees. (e) Submissions with data and requiring data review are subject to registration
  service fees.
(5) Amendment applications to add the new use(s) to registered product labels are covered by the base fee for
  the new use(s). All items in the covered application must be submitted together in one package. Each
  application for an additional new product registration and new inert approval(s) that is submitted in the new
  use application package is subject to the registration service fee for a new product or a new inert approval.
  However, if a new use application only proposes to register the new use for a new product and there are no
  amendments in the application, then review of one new product application is covered by the new use fee. All
  such associated applications that are submitted together will be subject to the new use decision review time.
  Any application for a new product or an amendment to the proposed labeling (a) submitted subsequent to
  submission of the new use application and (b) prior to conclusion of its decision review time and (c)
  containing the same new uses, will be deemed a separate new-use application, subject to a separate
  registration service fee and new decision review time for a new use. If the new-use application includes non-
  food (indoor and/or outdoor), and food (outdoor and/or indoor) uses, the appropriate fee is due for each type
  of new use and the longest decision review time applies to all of the new uses requested in the application.
  Any information that (a) was neither requested nor required by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the
  applicant at the applicant's initiative to support the application after completion of the preliminary
  technical screening, and (c) is not itself a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the
  full registration service fee for the new use application.
(6) Where the action involves approval of a new or amended label, on or before the end date of the decision
  review time, the Agency shall provide to the applicant a draft accepted label, including any changes made by
  the Agency that differ from the applicant-submitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the Agency.
  The applicant will notify the Agency that the applicant either (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with
  the draft accepted label as amended by the Agency and requests that it be issued as the accepted final Agency-
  stamped label; or (b) does not agree to one or more of the terms of the draft accepted label as amended by the
  Agency and requests additional time to resolve the difference(s); or (c) withdraws the application without
  prejudice for subsequent resubmission, but forfeits the associated registration service fee. For cases
  described in (b), the applicant shall have up to 30 calendar days to reach agreement with the Agency on the
  final terms of the Agency-accepted label. If the applicant agrees to all of the terms of the accepted label as
  in (a), including upon resolution of differences in (b), the Agency shall provide an accepted final Agency-
  stamped label to the registrant within 2 business days following the registrant's written or electronic
  confirmation of agreement to the Agency.
(7) If the Administrator determines that endangered species analysis is required for this action, using guidance
  finalized according to section 33(c)(3)(B) for this specific type of action, the decision review time can be
  extended for endangered species assessment one time only for up to 50%, upon written notification to the
  applicant, prior to completion of the technical screening. To the extent practicable, any reason for
  renegotiation should be resolved during the same extension.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) A decision review time that would otherwise end on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, will be extended
  to end on the next business day.
(2) `New PIP' means a PIP with an active ingredient that has not been registered.
(3) `Registered PIP' means a PIP with an active ingredient that is currently registered.
(4) Transfer registered PIP through conventional breeding for new food/feed use, such as from field corn to
  sweet corn.
(5) If, during review of the application, it is determined that review by the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel
  (SAP) is needed, the applicant will submit an application for category B905, which will be processed
  concurrently, and the decision review time for both applications will be the longer of the two associated
  applications. The scientific data involved in this category are complex. EPA often seeks technical advice from
  the SAP on risks that pesticides pose to wildlife, farm workers, pesticide applicators, non-target species,
  insect resistance, and novel scientific issues surrounding new technologies. The scientists of the SAP neither
  make nor recommend policy decisions. They provide advice on the science used to make these decisions. Their
  advice is invaluable to the EPA as it strives to protect humans and the environment from risks posed by
  pesticides. Due to the time it takes to schedule and prepare for meetings with the SAP, additional time and
  costs are needed.
(6) Registered PIPs stacked through conventional breeding.
(7) Deployment of a registered PIP with a different Insecticide Resistance Management (IRM) plan (e.g., seed
  blend).
(8) The negotiated acreage cap will depend upon EPA's determination of the potential environmental exposure,
  risk(s) to non-target organisms, and the risk of targeted pest developing resistance to the pesticidal
  substance. The uncertainty of these risks may reduce the allowable acreage, based upon the quantity and type
  of non-target organism data submitted and the lack of insect resistance management data, which is usually not
  required for seed-increase registrations. Registrants are encouraged to consult with EPA prior to submission
  of a registration application in this category.
(9) Application can be submitted prior to or concurrently with an application for commercial registration.
(10) For example, IRM plan modifications that are applicant-initiated.
(11) (a) EPA-initiated amendments shall not be charged registration service fees. (b) Registrant-initiated fast-
  track amendments are to be completed within the timelines specified in section 3(c)(3)(B) and are not subject
  to registration service fees. (c) Registrant-initiated fast-track amendments handled by the Antimicrobials
  Division are to be completed within the timelines specified in section 3(h) and are not subject to
  registration service fees. (d) Registrant initiated amendments submitted by notification under Pesticide
  Registration (PR) Notices, such as PR Notice 98-10, continue under PR Notice timelines and are not subject to
  registration service fees. (e) Submissions with data and requiring data review are subject to registration
  service fees.
(12) Where the action involves approval of a new or amended label, on or before the end date of the decision
  review time, the Agency shall provide to the applicant a draft accepted label, including any changes made by
  the Agency that differ from the applicant-submitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the Agency.
  The applicant will notify the Agency that the applicant either (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with
  the draft accepted label as amended by the Agency and requests that it be issued as the accepted final Agency-
  stamped label; or (b) does not agree to one or more of the terms of the draft accepted label as amended by the
  Agency and requests additional time to resolve the difference(s); or (c) withdraws the application without
  prejudice for subsequent resubmission, but forfeits the associated registration service fee. For cases
  described in (b), the applicant shall have up to 30 calendar days to reach agreement with the Agency on the
  final terms of the Agency-accepted label. If the applicant agrees to all of the terms of the accepted label as
  in (a), including upon resolution of differences in (b), the Agency shall provide an accepted final Agency-
  stamped label to the registrant within 2 business days following the registrant's written or electronic
  confirmation of agreement to the Agency.
(13) This category does not include genetic modifications in animals not intended for use as a pesticide, e.g.,
  genetic modifications in animals intended for food use or animals intended for use as companion animals.
(14) If the Administrator determines that endangered species analysis is required for this action, using
  guidance finalized according to section 33(c)(3)(B) for this specific type of action, the decision review time
  can be extended for endangered species assessment one time only for up to 50%, upon written notification to
  the applicant, prior to completion of the technical screening. To the extent practicable, any reason for
  renegotiation should be resolved during the same extension.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) A decision review time that would otherwise end on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, will be extended
  to end on the next business day.
(2) Any other covered application that is associated with and dependent on the review by the Human Studies
  Review Board will be subject to its separate registration service fee. The decision review times for the
  associated actions run concurrently, but will end at the date of the latest review time.
(3) Any other covered application that is associated with and dependent on the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel
  review will be subject to its separate registration service fee. The decision review time for the associated
  action will be extended by the decision review time for the SAP review.
(4) If another covered application is submitted that depends upon an application to approve an inert ingredient,
  each application will be subject to its respective registration service fee. The decision review time for both
  submissions will be the longest of the associated applications. If the application covers multiple ingredients
  grouped by EPA into one chemical class, a single registration service fee will be assessed for approval of
  those ingredients.
(5) An application for a new end-use product using a source of active ingredient that (a) is not yet registered
  but (b) has an application pending with the Agency for review, will be considered an application for a new
  product with an unregistered source of active ingredient.
(6) Where the action involves approval of a new or amended label, on or before the end date of the decision
  review time, the Agency shall provide to the applicant a draft accepted label, including any changes made by
  the Agency that differ from the applicant-submitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the Agency.
  The applicant will notify the Agency that the applicant either (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with
  the draft accepted label as amended by the Agency and requests that it be issued as the accepted final Agency-
  stamped label; or (b) does not agree to one or more of the terms of the draft accepted label as amended by the
  Agency and requests additional time to resolve the difference(s); or (c) withdraws the application without
  prejudice for subsequent resubmission, but forfeits the associated registration service fee. For cases
  described in (b), the applicant shall have up to 30 calendar days to reach agreement with the Agency on the
  final terms of the Agency-accepted label. If the applicant agrees to all of the terms of the accepted label as
  in (a), including upon resolution of differences in (b), the Agency shall provide an accepted final Agency-
  stamped label to the registrant within 2 business days following the registrant's written or electronic
  confirmation of agreement to the Agency.
(7) Due to low fee and short time frame this category is not eligible for small business waivers.
(8) This category includes amendments the sole purpose of which is to add `Design for the Environment' (DfE) (or
  equivalent terms that do not use `safe' or derivatives of `safe') logos to a label. DfE is a voluntary
  program. A label bearing a DfE logo is not considered an Agency endorsement because the ingredients in the
  qualifying product must meet objective, scientific criteria established and widely publicized by EPA.''.

SEC. 707. INFORMATION.
