    form issued by a Federal department or agency governing the
    nondisclosure of classified information.
        Sec. 743. (a) No funds appropriated in this or any other Act may be
    used to implement or enforce the agreements in Standard Forms 312 and
    4414 of the Government or any other nondisclosure policy, form, or
    agreement if such policy, form, or agreement does not contain the
    following provisions: ``These provisions are consistent with and do not
    supersede, conflict with, or otherwise alter the employee obligations,
    rights, or liabilities created by existing statute or Executive order
    relating to (1) classified information, (2) communications to Congress,
    (3) the reporting to an Inspector General or the Office of Special
    Counsel of a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or
    mismanagement, a gross waste of funds, an abuse of authority, or a
    substantial and specific danger to public health or safety, or (4) any
    other whistleblower protection. The definitions, requirements,
    obligations, rights, sanctions, and liabilities created by controlling
    Executive orders and statutory provisions are incorporated into this
    agreement and are controlling.'':  Provided, That notwithstanding the
    preceding provision of this section, a nondisclosure policy form or
    agreement that is to be executed by a person connected with the conduct
    of an intelligence or intelligence-related activity, other than an
    employee or officer of the United States Government, may contain
    provisions appropriate to the particular activity for which such
    document is to be used. Such form or agreement shall, at a minimum,
    require that the person will not disclose any classified information
    received in the course of such activity unless specifically authorized
    to do so by the United States Government. Such nondisclosure forms
    shall also make it clear that they do not bar disclosures to Congress,
    or to an authorized official of an executive agency or the Department
    of Justice, that are essential to reporting a substantial violation of
    law.
        (b) A nondisclosure agreement may continue to be implemented and
    enforced notwithstanding subsection (a) if it complies with the
    requirements for such agreement that were in effect when the agreement
    was entered into.
        (c) No funds appropriated in this or any other Act may be used to
    implement or enforce any agreement entered into during fiscal year 2014
    which does not contain substantially similar language to that required
    in subsection (a).
        Sec. 744.  None of the funds made available by this or any other
    Act may be used to enter into a contract, memorandum of understanding,
    or cooperative agreement with, make a grant to, or provide a loan or
    loan guarantee to, any corporation that has any unpaid Federal tax
    liability that has been assessed, for which all judicial and
    administrative remedies have been exhausted or have lapsed, and that is
    not being paid in a timely manner pursuant to an agreement with the
    authority responsible for collecting the tax liability, where the
    awarding agency is aware of the unpaid tax liability, unless a Federal
    agency has considered suspension or debarment of the corporation and
    has made a determination that this further action is not necessary to
    protect the interests of the Government.
        Sec. 745.  None of the funds made available by this or any other
    Act may be used to enter into a contract, memorandum of understanding,
    or cooperative agreement with, make a grant to, or provide a loan or
    loan guarantee to, any corporation that was convicted of a felony
    criminal violation under any Federal law within the preceding 24
    months, where the awarding agency is aware of the conviction, unless a
    Federal agency has considered suspension or debarment of the
    corporation and has made a determination that this further action is
    not necessary to protect the interests of the Government.
        Sec. 746. (a) During fiscal year 2023, on the date on which a
    request is made for a transfer of funds in accordance with section 1017

        (b) Any notification required by this section shall be made
    available on the Bureau's public website.
        Sec. 747. (a) Notwithstanding any official rate adjusted under

    the Vice President on December 31, 2022, by operation of section 747 of

        (c) Notwithstanding section 401 of the Foreign Service Act of 1980
    (Public Law 96-465) or any other provision of law, a chief of mission
    or ambassador at large is subject to subsection (b) in the same manner

        (2) Notwithstanding sections 5382 and 5383 of title 5, United
    States Code, an employee described in paragraph (1) may not receive a
    pay rate increase during calendar year 2023, except as provided in

        (i) Notwithstanding subsections (b) through (e), an employee in a
    covered position may receive a pay rate increase upon an authorized
    movement to a different covered position only if that new position has
    higher-level duties and a pre-established level or range of pay higher
    than the level or range for the position held immediately before the
    movement. Any such increase must be based on the rates of pay and
    applicable limitations on payable rates of pay in effect on December
    31, 2022, by operation of section 747 of division E of Public Law 117-
    103.
        (j) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for an individual

    all relevant facts and a statement of actions taken:  Provided, That a

    Comptroller General on the same date the report is transmitted to the
    Congress.
        Sec. 749. (a) Each department or agency of the executive branch of

        provided in section 1513(b) of title 31, United States Code;
            (2) an approved apportionment received by the department or
        agency conditions the availability of an appropriation on further
        action; or
            (3) an approved apportionment received by the department or
        agency may hinder the prudent obligation of such appropriation or
        the execution of a program, project, or activity by such department
        or agency.

    specified in the disclosure table submitted in compliance with clause 9
    of rule XXI of the Rules of the House of Representatives or Rule XLIV

    the case that the Secretary determines that housing unaccompanied alien
    children in such a facility is necessary on a temporary basis due to an
    influx of such children or an emergency, provided that--
            (1) the terms of the grant or contract for the operations of

        grantee's good-faith efforts and progress towards compliance;
            (3) not more than four consecutive waivers under paragraph (2)

        Sec. 232.  In addition to the existing Congressional notification
    for formal site assessments of potential influx facilities, the
    Secretary shall notify the Committees on Appropriations of the House of
    Representatives and the Senate at least 15 days before operationalizing
    an unlicensed facility, and shall (1) specify whether the facility is
    hard-sided or soft-sided, and (2) provide analysis that indicates that,
    in the absence of the influx facility, the likely outcome is that
    unaccompanied alien children will remain in the custody of the
    Department of Homeland Security for longer than 72 hours or that
    unaccompanied alien children will be otherwise placed in danger. Within
    60 days of bringing such a facility online, and monthly thereafter, the
    Secretary shall provide to the Committees on Appropriations of the
    House of Representatives and the Senate a report detailing the total
    number of children in care at the facility, the average length of stay

    would not interfere with the operations (including child welfare and
    child safety operations) of such facility.
        Sec. 234.  Not later than 14 days after the date of enactment of
    this Act, and monthly thereafter, the Secretary shall submit to the
    Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the
    Senate, and make publicly available online, a report with respect to
    children who were separated from their parents or legal guardians by
    the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (regardless of whether or not
    such separation was pursuant to an option selected by the children,
    parents, or guardians), subsequently classified as unaccompanied alien
    children, and transferred to the care and custody of ORR during the
    previous month. Each report shall contain the following information:
            (1) the number and ages of children so separated subsequent to
        apprehension at or between ports of entry, to be reported by sector
        where separation occurred; and
            (2) the documented cause of separation, as reported by DHS when
        each child was referred.

                (A) such foreign government or entity has an effective
            arrangement that is providing substantial reimbursement of such
            taxes; or

        an individual agreement between the Government of the United States
        and such government that describes, among other things, the

        assistance provided under that agreement.

    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

        Secretary shall distribute to the States any funds (excluding funds

        States Code) that--
                (A) are authorized to be appropriated for such fiscal year

            (2) Ratio.--Funds shall be distributed under paragraph (1) in
        the same proportion as the distribution of obligation authority

    such waiver and the reasons therefor:  Provided, That the Secretary
    shall post on a website any waivers granted under the Buy America

        Sec. 123.  None of the funds made available in this Act may be used

    amount was originally designated or directed notifies the Secretary of
    its intent to use its authority under this section and submits an
    annual report to the Secretary identifying the projects to which the

    availability of funds to be obligated under this section, such funds
    and associated obligation limitation shall remain available for
    obligation for a period of 3 fiscal years after the fiscal year in
    which the Secretary is notified. The Federal share of the cost of a

        current fiscal year, and administered by the Federal Highway
        Administration.

    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

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

            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.

            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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
    Center (``REAC'') inspection, the Secretary shall provide the owner
    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.

        address such conditions, including imposition of civil money
        penalties and termination of subsidies, and identification of

    recipient's formula allocation (if eligible for a formula allocation in

    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

    purposes, the Secretary determines that the offset in the next
    applicable formula allocation cycle would critically impair the

    allocation cycles.

        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

        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

            possession by reason of the amendments made by this section, or

            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

        provision referred to in subsection (b)(2) of such section.

            section 6433 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as added by
            this section), and

            accounts (as defined in section 408 of such Code) and

                ``(J) Certain increases in payments under a commercial
            annuity.--Nothing in this section shall prohibit a commercial
            annuity (within the meaning of section 3405(e)(6)) that is
            issued in connection with any eligible retirement plan (within
            the meaning of section 402(c)(8)(B), other than a defined
            benefit plan) from providing one or more of the following types
            of payments on or after the annuity starting date:
                    ``(i) annuity payments that increase by a constant
                percentage, applied not less frequently than annually, at a
                rate that is less than 5 percent per year,
                    ``(ii) a lump sum payment that--

                        ``(I) results in a shortening of the payment period
                    with respect to an annuity or a full or partial
                    commutation of the future annuity payments, provided
                    that such lump sum is determined using reasonable
                    actuarial methods and assumptions, as determined in
                    good faith by the issuer of the contract, or
                        ``(II) accelerates the receipt of annuity payments
                    that are scheduled to be received within the ensuing 12
                    months, regardless of whether such acceleration
                    shortens the payment period with respect to the
                    annuity, reduces the dollar amount of benefits to be
                    paid under the contract, or results in a suspension of
                    annuity payments during the period being accelerated,

                    ``(iii) an amount which is in the nature of a dividend
                or similar distribution, provided that the issuer of the
                contract determines such amount using reasonable actuarial
                methods and assumptions, as determined in good faith by the
                issuer of the contract, when calculating the initial
                annuity payments and the issuer's experience with respect
                to those factors, or
                    ``(iv) a final payment upon death that does not exceed
                the excess of the total amount of the consideration paid
                for the annuity payments, less the aggregate amount of
                prior distributions or payments from or under the
                contract.''.
        (b) Effective Date.--This section shall apply to calendar years
    ending after the date of the enactment of this Act.
        SEC. 202. QUALIFYING LONGEVITY ANNUITY CONTRACTS.
        (a) In General.--Not later than the date which is 18 months after
    the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Treasury
    (or the Secretary's delegate) shall amend the regulation issued by the
    Department of the Treasury relating to ``Longevity Annuity Contracts''
    (79 Fed. Reg. 37633 (July 2, 2014)), as follows:
            (1) Repeal 25-percent premium limit.--The Secretary (or
        delegate) shall amend Q&A-17(b)(3) of Treas. Reg. section
        1.401(a)(9)-6 and Q&A-12(b)(3) of Treas. Reg. section 1.408-8 to
        eliminate the requirement that premiums for qualifying longevity
        annuity contracts be limited to 25 percent of an 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.
            (2) Increase dollar limitation.--
                (A) In general.--The Secretary (or delegate) shall amend
            Q&A-17(b)(2)(i) of Treas. Reg. section 1.401(a)(9)-6 and Q&A-
            12(b)(2)(i) of Treas. Reg. section 1.408-8 to increase the
            dollar limitation on premiums for qualifying longevity annuity
            contracts from $125,000 to $200,000, and to make such
            corresponding changes to the regulations and related forms as
            are necessary to reflect this increase in the dollar
            limitation.
                (B) Adjustments for inflation.--The Secretary (or delegate)
            shall amend Q&A-17(d)(2)(i) of Treas. Reg. section 1.401(a)(9)-
            6 to provide that, in the case of calendar years beginning on
            or after January 1 of the 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 section
        206(d) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, any
        divorce or separation instrument (as defined in subsection (b))--
                (A) provides that the former spouse is entitled to the
            survivor benefits under the contract;
                (B) provides that the former spouse is treated as a
            surviving spouse for purposes of the contract;
                (C) does not modify the treatment of the former spouse as
            the beneficiary under the contract who is entitled to the
            survivor benefits; or
                (D) does not modify the treatment of the former spouse as
            the measuring life for the survivor benefits 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 exceeding 90 days from the date of
        purchase.
        (b) Divorce or Separation Instrument.--For purposes of subsection
    (a)(3), the term ``divorce or separation instrument'' means--
            (1) a decree of divorce or separate maintenance or a written
        instrument incident to such a decree;
            (2) a written separation agreement; or
            (3) a decree (not described in paragraph (1)) requiring a
        spouse to make payments for the support or maintenance of the other
        spouse.
        (c) Effective Dates, Enforcement, and Interpretations.--
            (1) Effective dates.--
                (A) Paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a) shall be
            effective with respect to contracts purchased or received in an
            exchange on or after the date of the enactment of this Act.
                (B) Paragraphs (3) and (4) of subsection (a) shall be
            effective with respect to contracts purchased or received in an
            exchange on or after July 2, 2014.
            (2) Enforcement and interpretations.--Prior to the date on
        which the Secretary of the Treasury issues final regulations
        pursuant to subsection (a)--
                (A) the Secretary (or delegate) shall administer and
            enforce the law in accordance with subsection (a) and the
            effective dates in paragraph (1) of this subsection; and
                (B) taxpayers may rely upon their reasonable good faith
            interpretations of subsection (a).
        (d) Regulatory Successor Provision.--Any reference to a regulation
    under this section shall be treated as including a reference to any
    successor regulation thereto.

    Department of the Treasury relating to ``Income Tax; Diversification
    Requirements for Variable Annuity, Endowment, and Life Insurance
    Contracts'', 54 Fed. Reg. 8728 (March 2, 1989), and make any necessary

    satisfaction of the requirements in Treas. Reg. section 1.817-
    5(f)(2)(i) with respect to an exchange-traded fund shall not be
    prevented by reason of beneficial interests in such a fund being held
    by 1 or more authorized participants or market makers.
        (c) Define Relevant Terms.--In amending Treas. Reg. section 1.817-
    5(f)(3) in accordance with subsection (b), the Secretary of the
    Treasury (or the Secretary's delegate) shall provide definitions
    consistent with the following:
            (1) Exchange-traded fund.--The term ``exchange-traded fund''
        means a regulated investment company, partnership, or trust--
                (A) that is registered with the Securities and Exchange
            Commission as an open-end investment company or a unit

            national stock exchange at market prices that may or may not be
            the same as the net asset value of the shares.
            (2) Authorized participant.--The term ``authorized
        participant'' means a financial institution that is a member or
        participant of a clearing agency registered under section 17A(b) of
        the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that enters into a contractual
        relationship with an exchange-traded fund pursuant to which the
        financial institution is permitted to purchase and redeem shares
        directly from the fund and to sell such shares to third parties,
        but only if the contractual arrangement or applicable law precludes
        the financial institution from--
                (A) purchasing the shares for its own investment purposes
            rather than for the exclusive purpose of creating and redeeming
            such shares on behalf of third parties; and
                (B) selling the shares to third parties who are not market
            makers or otherwise described in Treas. Reg. section 1.817-5(f)

        by being always ready to buy and sell shares of such fund on the
        market, but only if the financial institution is contractually or
        legally precluded from selling or buying such shares to or from
        persons who are not authorized participants or otherwise described
        in Treas. Reg. section 1.817-5(f) (2) and (3).
        (d) Effective Date.--This section shall apply to segregated asset

    of the Treasury (or the Secretary's delegate) shall amend the
    regulations under section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code of
    1986 to provide that if an employee's benefit is in the form of an
    individual account under a defined contribution plan, the plan may
    allow the employee to elect to have the amount required to be

    calculated as the excess of the total required amount for such year
    over the annuity amount for such year.
        (b) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
            (1) Total required amount.--The term ``total required amount'',

        successor regulation) for the year, determined by treating the
        account balance as of the last valuation date in the immediately
        preceding calendar year as including the value on that date of all
        annuity contracts which were purchased with a portion of the
        account and from which 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

    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--

        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

      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

                ``(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)

                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).

        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 plan, or
                ``(B) seeks recovery from the person or persons 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.

          QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS.
        (a) In General.--Section 4974(a) is amended by striking ``50
    percent'' and inserting ``25 percent''.
        (b) Reduction in Excise Tax on Failures to Take Required Minimum
    Distributions.--Section 4974 is amended by adding at the end the
    following new subsection:
        ``(e) Reduction of Tax in Certain Cases.--
            ``(1) Reduction.--In the case of a taxpayer who--
                ``(A) receives a distribution, during the correction
            window, of the amount which resulted in imposition of a tax
            under subsection (a) from the same plan to which such tax
            relates, and
                ``(B) submits a return, during the correction window,
            reflecting such tax (as modified by this 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 with respect
        to a shortfall of distributions from a plan described in subsection
        (a), and ending on the earliest of--
                ``(A) the date of mailing a notice of deficiency with

            is assessed, or

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

    Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.) is
    amended by adding at the end the following:

    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.
        SEC. 306. ELIMINATE THE ``FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH'' REQUIREMENT FOR
          GOVERNMENTAL SECTION 457(b) PLANS.
        (a) In General.--Section 457(b)(4) is amended to read as follows:

            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.

        if shorter), the blend is modified at least once per year if needed
        to reflect changes in the asset class 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

        SEC. 101. EXPANSION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITAL CARE, MEDICAL
          SERVICES, AND NURSING HOME CARE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS
          AFFAIRS TO INCLUDE VETERANS OF WORLD WAR II.
        (a) In General.--Section 1710(a)(2)(E) of title 38, United States
    Code, is amended by striking ``of the Mexican border period or of World
    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 care. The
        clinical pathway shall be established in the National Surgery
        Office of the Department of Veterans Affairs in close collaboration
        with the National Program Office of Oncology, the Office of
        Research and Development, and other relevant entities of the
        Department, including Primary Care.
            (2) Elements.--The national clinical pathway established under
        this subsection shall include the following elements:
                (A) A diagnosis pathway for prostate cancer that includes
            early screening and diagnosis protocol, including screening
            recommendations for veterans with evidence-based risk factors.
                (B) A treatment pathway that details the respective roles
            of each office of the Department that will interact with
            veterans receiving prostate cancer care, including treatment
            protocol recommendations for veterans with evidence-based risk
            factors.
                (C) Treatment recommendations for all stages of prostate
            cancer that reflect nationally recognized standards for
            oncology, including National Comprehensive Cancer Network
            guidelines. xt>
                (D) A suggested protocol timeframe for each point of care,
            from early screening to treatment and end-of-life care, based
            on severity and stage of cancer.
                (E) A plan that includes, as appropriate, both Department
            medical facilities and community-based partners and providers
            and research centers specializing in prostate cancer,
            especially such centers that have entered into partnerships
            with the Department.
            (3) Collaboration and coordination.--In establishing the
        clinical pathway required under this section, the Secretary may

            determines necessary.
            (4) Consultation requirement.--In establishing the clinical
        pathway required under this section, the Secretary shall consult
        with, and incorporate feedback from, veterans who have received
        prostate cancer care at Department medical facilities as well as
        experts in multi-disciplinary cancer care and clinical research.
            (5) Publication.--The Secretary shall--
                (A) publish the clinical pathway established under this
            subsection on a publicly available Department website; and

        disease specific model of care delivery.
            (4) Prostate cancer research.--The Secretary shall submit to
        Congress a plan that provides for continual funding through the
        Office of Research and Development of the Department of Veterans
        for supporting prostate cancer research designed to position the
        Department as a national resource for prostate cancer detection and
        treatment. Such plan shall--

    requirement under this subsection to meet the access standards
    established under subsection (a) if--
            ``(i)(I) the scarcity of available providers or facilities in
        the region precludes the Third Party Administrator from meeting
        those access standards; or

        and certain providers or facilities are not available such that 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.

    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.

        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.

        rural, or urban areas or some combination of such areas.

        access standards established under subsection (a).
            ``(v) The rates offered to providers in the geographic area
        covered by the waiver.

    valid sole rationale for granting a waiver under subparagraph (A).

    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

                      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.

        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 enrolled in
        the patient enrollment system and who have a diagnosis of

        Network during the two-year period preceding 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-convulsive

        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

                   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.
        SEC. 703. CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL.
        (a) Presentation Authorized.--The Speaker of the House of
    Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate shall make
    appropriate arrangements for the presentation, on behalf of the
    Congress, of a gold medal of appropriate design to Benjamin Berell
    Ferencz, in recognition of his service to the United States and

    name of, Benjamin Berell Ferencz.
        (c) Disposition of Medal.--Following the award of the gold medal
    under subsection (a), the gold medal shall be given to Benjamin Berell

        SEC. 704. DUPLICATE MEDALS.
        (a) In General.--The Secretary may strike and sell duplicates in
    bronze of the gold medal struck pursuant to section 703, at a price
    sufficient to cover the cost thereof, including labor, materials, dies,
    use of machinery, and overhead expenses.

        medal described under subsection (a) to the United States Holocaust
        Memorial Museum.
            (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
        United States Holocaust Memorial Museum should make the duplicate
        medal received under this subsection available for display to the
        public whenever the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
        determines that such display is timely, feasible, and practical.
        SEC. 705. STATUS OF MEDALS.
        (a) National Medals.--The medals struck pursuant to this title are
    national medals for purposes of chapter 51 of title 31, United States
    Code.
        (b) Numismatic Items.--For purposes of section 5134 of title 31,
    United States Code, all medals struck under this title shall be

        SEC. 201. CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY STANDARD TO PROTECT AGAINST TIP-
          OVER OF CLOTHING STORAGE UNITS.
        (a) Clothing Storage Unit Defined.--In this section, the term
    ``clothing storage unit'' means any free-standing furniture item
    manufactured in the United States or imported for use in the United
    States that is intended for the storage of clothing, typical of bedroom
    furniture.
        (b) CPSC Determination of Scope.--The Consumer Product Safety
    Commission shall specify the types of furniture items within the scope
    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 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).

                after receiving the notice under clause (i), electronically
                certify that--

                        (I) the seller has provided any changes to such

                        (II) there have been no changes to such seller's

            party seller does not provide the information or certification
            required under this paragraph, the online marketplace shall,

        (b) Disclosure Required.--
            (1) Requirement.--
                (A) In general.--An online marketplace shall--
                    (i) require any high-volume third party seller with an
                aggregate total of $20,000 or more in annual gross revenues
                on such online marketplace, and that uses such online
                marketplace's platform, to provide the information
                described in subparagraph (B) to the online marketplace;
                and
                    (ii) disclose the information described in subparagraph
                (B) to consumers in a clear and conspicuous manner--

                        (I) on the product listing page (including via
                    hyperlink); or
                        (II) in the order confirmation message or other
                    document or communication made to the consumer after
                    the purchase is finalized and in the consumer's account
                    transaction history.

                (B) Information described.--The information described in
            this subparagraph is the following:
                    (i) Subject to paragraph (2), the identity of the high-
                volume third party seller, including--

                        (I) the full name of the seller, which may include
                    the seller name or seller's company name, or the name
                    by which the seller or company operates on the online
                    marketplace;
                        (II) the physical address of the seller; and
                        (III) contact information for the seller, to allow
                    for the direct, unhindered communication with high-
                    volume third party sellers by users of the online
                    marketplace, including--

                            (aa) a current working phone number;
                            (bb) a current working email address; or
                            (cc) other means of direct electronic messaging
                        (which may be provided to such seller by the online
                        marketplace), provided that the requirements 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 consumer product to the
                consumer upon purchase, 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 violates
            subsection (a) or (b) shall be subject to the penalties, and
            entitled to the privileges and immunities, provided in the
            Federal Trade Commission 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 under
        this section, provided that such regulations are limited 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

            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

            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

                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

            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).''.

            (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--

                (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.

        ``(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.
        ``(c) Timeframe.--The Secretary shall publish a notice of proposed
    rulemaking not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of the
    Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 and shall publish a
    final such rule not later than 3 years after such date of enactment.

        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
                ``(B) an opportunity, within 5 business days of the notice
            provided under subparagraph (A), for the responsible person to
            provide a plan for addressing the reasons for possible

        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

        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.

        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

    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--

            product shall be administered or used only by licensed
            professionals; and

        ``(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

    substantiation data for cosmetic products and their ingredients), or

    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.

    order pursuant to paragraph (2) or (3) of subsection (c) shall
    immediately cease distribution of or recall, as applicable, the

    necessary, the Secretary may require the person subject to an order
    pursuant to subsection (a) or an amended order pursuant to paragraph
    (2) or (3) of subsection (c) to provide either a notice of a recall
    order for, or an order to cease distribution of, such cosmetic, as
    applicable, under this section to appropriate persons, including
    persons who manufacture, distribute, import, or offer for sale such
    product that is the subject of an order and to the public.
        ``(f) Public Notification.--In conducting a recall under this
    section, the Secretary shall--

            (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 coordination with follow-on mental
            health and substance use disorder services, such as intensive
            outpatient and partial hospitalization programs, as well as
            connections to social services and supports;
                (B) promotes access to appropriate and timely mental health
            and substance use disorder crisis 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 through CHIP health
        services initiatives, behavioral disorder-specific crisis response,
        trained peer support services, and establishing or enhancing crisis
        call centers that are youth-focused.
            (5) Identifies policies and practices to meet the need for
        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 when the continuum
        of crisis response services serves individuals regardless of payor.
            (9) Describes best practices for establishing effective
        connections with follow-on mental health and substance use disorder
        services, as well as with social services and supports.
            (10) Describes best practices for coordinating and 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 and
        monitoring utilization of, and outcomes related to, crisis response
        services.

        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--
                (A) leveraging the Federal authorities through which

            of Federal funding for mental health and 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 of a continuum of
        crisis response services. The Secretary annually shall review the
        information available through the compendium and shall update such
        information when appropriate.
        (c) Funding.--There is appropriated to the Secretary, out of any
    funds in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to remain available
    until expended for purposes of carrying out subsections (a) and (b),

            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.

        (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
    include in such notification content regarding such subsidy.
        (c) Authority of Antitrust Regulators.--The Federal Trade
    Commission, with the concurrence of the Assistant Attorney General in
    charge of the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, and in
    consultation with the Chairperson of the Committee on Foreign
    Investment in the United States, the Secretary of Commerce, the Chair
    of the United States International Trade Commission, the United States
    Trade Representative, and the heads of other appropriate agencies, and
    by rule in accordance with section 553 of title 5, United States Code,
    shall require that the notification required under subsection (b) be in
    such form and contain such documentary material and information
    relevant to a proposed acquisition as is necessary and appropriate to
    enable the Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant Attorney General
    in charge of the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice to
    determine whether such acquisition may, if consummated, violate the
    antitrust laws.
        (d) Effective Date.--Subsection (b) shall take effect on the date
    on which the rule described in subsection (c) takes effect.

                    (vi) the state of monitoring and measurement
                technologies needed to quantify long-term carbon
                sequestration in soils and from other activities to
                prevent, reduce, or mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in
                the agriculture and forestry sectors;
                    (vii) means to reduce barriers to entry into voluntary
                environmental credit markets for beginning, socially
                disadvantaged, limited resource, and veteran farmers,
                ranchers, and private forest landowners, and the extent to
                which existing protocols of voluntary environmental credit
                markets allow for aggregation of projects among farmers,
                ranchers, and private forest landowners;
                    (viii) the extent to which the existing regimes for
                generating and selling agriculture or forestry credits (as
                the regimes exist at the end of the preceding 4-calendar
                year period, and historically), and existing voluntary
                environmental credit markets, may be impeded or
                constricted, or achieve greater scale and reach, if the
                Department of Agriculture were involved, including
                involvement in education described in clause (ix);
                    (ix) the extent to which Department of Agriculture
                education of stakeholders about voluntary environmental
                credit markets would benefit those stakeholders, including
                whether that education would reduce barriers to entry
                identified under clause (v);
                    (x) the extent to which existing protocols of voluntary
                environmental credit markets, including verification,
                additionality, permanence, and reporting, adequately take
                into consideration and account for factors encountered by
                the agriculture and private forest sectors in preventing,
                reducing, or mitigating greenhouse gas emissions (including
                by sequestering carbon) through agriculture and forestry
                practices, considering variances across regions,
                topography, soil types, crop or species varieties, and
                business models;
                    (xi) the extent to which existing protocols of
                voluntary environmental credit markets consider options to
                ensure the continued valuation, through discounting or
                other means, of agriculture and forestry credits in the
                case of the practices underlying those credits being
                disrupted due to unavoidable events, including production
                challenges and natural disasters; and
                    (xii) opportunities for other voluntary markets outside
                of voluntary environmental credit markets to foster the
                trading, buying, or selling of credits that are derived
                from activities that provide other ecosystem service
                benefits, including activities that improve water quality,
                water quantity, wildlife habitat enhancement, and other
                ecosystem services, as the Secretary determines
                appropriate;
                (B) publish the assessment; and
                (C) submit the assessment to the Committee on Agriculture,
            Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate and the Committee on
            Agriculture of the House of Representatives.
            (3) Quadriennial assessment.--The Secretary, in consultation
        with the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and
        the Advisory Council, shall conduct the assessment described in
        paragraph (2)(A) and publish and submit such assessment in
        accordance with subparagraphs (B) and (C) of paragraph (2) every 4

    (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) 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 revised use pattern(s) to registered product labels are covered by the
      base fee for the category. 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
      amendment application package is subject to the registration service fee for a new product or a new inert
      approval. However, if an amendment application only proposes to register the amendment for a new product and
      there are no amendments in the application, then review of one new product application is covered by the base
      fee. All such associated applications that are submitted together will be subject to the category decision
      review time.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (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.

      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

      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

      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) 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

    (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

      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-

    (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) 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
      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.

      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.

    (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

      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

    (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) 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
      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) 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) 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.

    (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.''.

            under section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16
