current fiscal year, and shall be applied to projects within the same 
general geographic area within 25 miles for which the funding was 
designated, except that a State or territory may apply such authority 
to unexpended balances of funds from projects or activities the State

        Secretary may authorize a reduction in the number of dwelling 
        units in the receiving project or projects to allow for a 
        reconfiguration of bedroom sizes to meet current market 
        demands, as determined by the Secretary and provided there is 
        no increase in the project-based assistance budget authority.
        (2) The transferring project shall, as determined by the 
    Secretary, be either physically obsolete or economically nonviable, 
    or be reasonably expected to become economically nonviable when 
    complying with State or Federal requirements for community 
    integration and reduced concentration of individuals with 
    disabilities.
        (3) The receiving project or projects shall meet or exceed 
    applicable physical standards established by the Secretary.

    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

project-based rental assistance payments with an owner or owners of 
other existing housing properties, or provide other rental assistance. 
The Secretary shall also take appropriate steps to ensure that project-
based contracts remain in effect prior to foreclosure, subject to the 
exercise of contractual abatement remedies to assist relocation of 
tenants for imminent major threats to health and safety after written 
notice to and informed consent of the affected tenants and use of other

contract and allowable rent levels on such properties shall be subject 
to the requirements under section 524 of MAHRAA.

fewer public housing units may elect to be exempt from any asset 
management requirement imposed by the Secretary in connection with the

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.

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.

local laws, rules, ordinances, or regulations relating to the physical 
condition of any property covered under a housing assistance payment 
contract.
    (b) The Secretary shall take action under subsection (c) when a 
multifamily housing project with a contract under section 8 of the 
United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f) or a contract for 
similar project-based assistance--
        (1) receives a Uniform Physical Condition Standards (UPCS) 
    score of 59 or less; or
        (2) fails to certify in writing to the Secretary within 3 days 
    that all Exigent Health and Safety deficiencies identified by the 
    inspector at the project have been corrected.
    Such requirements shall apply to insured and noninsured projects 
with assistance attached to the units under section 8 of the United 
States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f), but shall not apply to 
such units assisted under section 8(o)(13) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 
1437f(o)(13)) or to public housing units assisted with capital or 
operating funds under section 9 of the United States Housing Act of 
1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g).
    (c)(1) Within 15 days of the issuance of the Real Estate Assessment

results in a UPCS score of 60 or above, the Secretary may withdraw the 
Notice of Default.
    (2) At the end of the time period for correcting all deficiencies

such deficiencies, the Secretary may--
        (A) require immediate replacement of project management with a 
    management agent approved by the Secretary;
        (B) impose civil money penalties, which shall be used solely 
    for the purpose of supporting safe and sanitary conditions at 
    applicable properties, as designated by the Secretary, with 
    priority given to the tenants of the property affected by the 
    penalty;
        (C) abate the section 8 contract, including partial abatement, 
    as determined by the Secretary, until all deficiencies have been 
    corrected;
        (D) pursue transfer of the project to an owner, approved by the 
    Secretary under established procedures, who will be obligated to 
    promptly make all required repairs and to accept renewal of the 
    assistance contract if such renewal is offered;
        (E) transfer the existing section 8 contract to another project

    or
        (I) take any other regulatory or contractual remedies available 
    as deemed necessary and appropriate by the Secretary.

major threats to health and safety after written notice to the affected 
tenants. To the extent the Secretary determines, in consultation with 
the tenants and the local government, that the property is not feasible 
for continued rental assistance payments under such section 8 or other 
programs, based on consideration of--
        (1) the costs of rehabilitating and operating the property and 
    all available Federal, State, and local resources, including rent 
    adjustments under section 524 of the Multifamily Assisted Housing 
    Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 (``MAHRAA''); and
        (2) environmental conditions that cannot be remedied in a cost-
    effective fashion, the Secretary may contract for project-based 
    rental assistance payments with an owner or owners of other

            determining whether a fishery resource disaster has 
            occurred:

                impacts are severe enough to determine that a fishery 
                resource disaster has occurred.

                eligible for a determination that a fishery resource

            charter fishing industry to ensure financial coverage for

            the severity of negative impacts to the fishing community

        overfishing in any of the 3 years preceding the date of a 
        determination under this subsection is not eligible for a 
        determination of whether a fishery resource disaster has

Department of the Treasury relating to ``Longevity Annuity Contracts''

    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.

            (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

        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)-

        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

        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

    but only if the contractual arrangement or applicable law precludes 
    the financial institution from--
            (A) purchasing the shares for its own investment purposes

allow the employee to elect to have the amount required to be 
distributed from such account under such section for a year to be 
calculated as the excess of the total required amount for such year 
over the annuity amount for such year.

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

    (d) Effective Date.--The modifications and amendments required

  TITLE III--SIMPLIFICATION AND CLARIFICATION OF RETIREMENT PLAN RULES

    SEC. 301. RECOVERY OF RETIREMENT PLAN OVERPAYMENTS.
    (a) Overpayments Under ERISA.--Section 206 of the Employee 
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. 1056) is amended by 
adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(h) Special Rules Applicable to Benefit Overpayments.--
        ``(1) General rule.--In the case of an inadvertent benefit 
    overpayment by any pension plan, the responsible plan fiduciary 
    shall not be considered to have failed to comply with the 
    requirements of this title merely because such fiduciary 
    determines, in the exercise of its discretion, not to seek recovery 
    of all or part of such overpayment from--
            ``(A) any participant or beneficiary,
            ``(B) any plan sponsor of, or contributing employer to--
                ``(i) an individual account plan, provided that the 
            amount needed to prevent or restore any impermissible 
            forfeiture from any participant's or beneficiary's account 
            arising in connection with the overpayment is, separately 
            from and independently of the overpayment, allocated to 
            such account pursuant to the nonforfeitability requirements 
            of section 203 (for example, out of the plan's forfeiture 
            account, additional employer contributions, or recoveries 
            from those responsible for the overpayment), or
                ``(ii) a defined benefit pension plan subject to the 
            funding rules in part 3 of this subtitle B, unless the 
            responsible plan fiduciary determines, in the exercise of 
            its fiduciary discretion, that failure to recover all or 
            part of the overpayment faster than required under such 
            funding rules would materially affect the plan's ability to 
            pay benefits due to other participants and beneficiaries, 
            or
            ``(C) any fiduciary of the plan, other than a fiduciary 
        (including a plan sponsor or contributing employer acting in a 
        fiduciary capacity) whose breach of its fiduciary duties 
        resulted in such overpayment, provided that if the plan has 
        established prudent procedures to prevent and minimize 
        overpayment of benefits and the relevant plan fiduciaries have 
        followed such procedures, an inadvertent benefit overpayment 
        will not give rise to a breach of fiduciary duty.
        ``(2) Reduction in future benefit payments and recovery from 
    responsible party.--Paragraph (1) shall not fail to apply with 
    respect to any inadvertent benefit overpayment merely because, 
    after discovering such overpayment, the responsible plan 
    fiduciary--
            ``(A) reduces future benefit payments to the correct amount 
        provided for under the terms of the plan, or
            ``(B) seeks recovery from the person or persons responsible 
        for the overpayment.
        ``(3) Employer funding obligations.--Nothing in this subsection 
    shall relieve an employer of any obligation imposed on it to make 
    contributions to a plan to meet the minimum funding standards under 
    part 3 of this subtitle B or to prevent or restore an impermissible 
    forfeiture in accordance with section 203.
        ``(4) Recoupment from participants and beneficiaries.--If the 
    responsible plan fiduciary, in the exercise of its fiduciary 
    discretion, decides to seek recoupment from a participant or 
    beneficiary of all or part of an inadvertent benefit overpayment 
    made by the plan to such participant or beneficiary, it may do so, 
    subject to the following conditions:
            ``(A) No interest or other additional amounts (such as 
        collection costs or fees) are sought on overpaid amounts for 
        any period.
            ``(B) If the plan seeks to recoup past overpayments of a 
        non-decreasing annuity by reducing future benefit payments--
                ``(i) the reduction ceases after the plan has recovered 
            the full dollar amount of the overpayment,
                ``(ii) the amount recouped each calendar year does not 
            exceed 10 percent of the full dollar amount of the 
            overpayment, and
                ``(iii) future benefit payments are not reduced to 
            below 90 percent of the periodic amount otherwise payable 
            under the terms of the plan.
        Alternatively, if the plan seeks to recoup past overpayments of 
        a non-decreasing annuity through one or more installment 
        payments, the sum of such installment payments in any calendar 
        year does not exceed the sum of the reductions that would be 
        permitted in such year under the preceding sentence.
            ``(C) If the plan seeks to recoup past overpayments of a 
        benefit other than a non-decreasing annuity, the plan satisfies 
        requirements developed by the Secretary of Labor for purposes 
        of this subparagraph.
            ``(D) Efforts to recoup overpayments are--
                ``(i) not accompanied by threats of litigation, unless 
            the responsible plan fiduciary makes a determination that 
            there is a reasonable likelihood of success to recover an 
            amount greater than the cost of recovery, and
                ``(ii) not made through a collection agency or similar 
            third party, unless the participant or beneficiary ignores 
            or rejects efforts to recoup the overpayment following 
            either a final judgment in Federal or State court or a 
            settlement between the participant or beneficiary and the 
            plan, in either case authorizing such recoupment.
            ``(E) Recoupment of past overpayments to a participant is 
        not sought from any beneficiary of the participant, including a 
        spouse, surviving spouse, former spouse, or other beneficiary.
            ``(F) Recoupment may not be sought if the first overpayment 
        occurred more than 3 years before the participant or 
        beneficiary is first notified in writing of the error, except 
        in the case of fraud or misrepresentation by the participant.
            ``(G) A participant or beneficiary from whom recoupment is 
        sought is entitled to contest all or part of the recoupment 
        pursuant to the claims procedures of the plan that made the 
        overpayment to the extent such procedures are consistent with 
        section 503 of this title and in the case of an inadvertent 
        benefit overpayment from a plan to which paragraph (1) applies 
        that is transferred to an eligible retirement plan (as defined 
        in section 402(c)(8)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) 
        by or on behalf of a participant or beneficiary--
                ``(i) such plan shall notify the plan receiving the 
            rollover of such dispute,
                ``(ii) the plan receiving the rollover shall retain 
            such overpayment on behalf of the participant or 
            beneficiary (and shall be entitled to treat such 
            overpayment as plan assets) pending the outcome of such 
            procedures, and
                ``(iii) the portion of such overpayment with respect to 
            which recoupment is sought on behalf of the plan shall be 
            permitted to be returned to such plan if it is determined 
            to be an overpayment (and the plans making and receiving 
            such transfer shall be treated as permitting such 
            transfer).
            ``(H) In determining the amount of recoupment to seek, the 
        responsible plan fiduciary may take into account the hardship 
        that recoupment likely would impose on the participant or 
        beneficiary.
        ``(5) Effect of culpability.--Subparagraphs (A) through (F) of 
    paragraph (4) shall not apply to protect a participant or 
    beneficiary who is culpable. For purposes of this paragraph, a 
    participant or beneficiary is culpable if the individual bears 
    responsibility for the overpayment (such as through 
    misrepresentations or omissions that led to the overpayment), or if 
    the individual knew that the benefit payment or payments were 
    materially in excess of the correct amount. Notwithstanding the 
    preceding sentence, an individual is not culpable merely because 
    the individual believed the benefit payment or payments were or 
    might be in excess of the correct amount, if the individual raised 
    that question with an authorized plan representative and was told 
    the payment or payments were not in excess of the correct 
    amount.''.
    (b) Overpayments Under Internal Revenue Code of 1986.--
        (1) Qualification requirements.--Section 414 is amended by 
    adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(aa) Special Rules Applicable to Benefit Overpayments.--
        ``(1) In general.--A plan shall not fail to be treated as 
    described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) of section 
    219(g)(5)(A) (and shall not fail to be treated as satisfying the 
    requirements of section 401(a) or 403) merely because--
            ``(A) the plan fails to obtain payment from any 
        participant, beneficiary, employer, plan sponsor, fiduciary, or 
        other party on account of any inadvertent benefit overpayment 
        made by the plan, or
            ``(B) the plan sponsor amends the plan to increase past, or 
        decrease future, benefit payments to affected participants and 
        beneficiaries in order to adjust for prior inadvertent benefit 
        overpayments.
        ``(2) Reduction in future benefit payments and recovery from 
    responsible party.--Paragraph (1) shall not fail to apply to a plan 
    merely because, after discovering a benefit overpayment, such 
    plan--
            ``(A) reduces future benefit payments to the correct amount 
        provided for under the terms of the 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.
    SEC. 302. REDUCTION IN EXCISE TAX ON CERTAIN ACCUMULATIONS IN 
      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

        relates, and
            ``(B) submits a return, during the correction window, 
        reflecting such tax (as modified by this subsection),
    the first sentence of subsection (a) shall be applied by 
    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 
        respect to the tax imposed by subsection (a) under section 
        6212,

        is assessed, or
            ``(C) the last day of the second taxable year that begins 
        after the end of the taxable year in which the tax under 
        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

    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

    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

    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

        (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

    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.

         Subtitle D--Improvement of Rural Health and Telehealth

    SEC. 151. ESTABLISHMENT OF STRATEGIC PLAN REQUIREMENT FOR OFFICE OF 
      CONNECTED CARE OF DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS.
    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) The COVID-19 pandemic caused the Department of Veterans 
    Affairs to exponentially increase telehealth and virtual care 
    modalities, including VA Video Connect, to deliver health care 
    services to veteran patients.
        (2) Between January 2020 and January 2021, the number of 
    telehealth appointments offered by the Department increased by 
    1,831 percent.
        (3) The Department maintains strategic partnerships, such as 
    the Digital Divide Consult, with a goal of ensuring veterans who 
    reside in rural, highly rural, or medically underserved areas have 
    access to high-quality telehealth services offered by the 
    Department.
        (4) As of 2019, veterans who reside in rural and highly rural 
    areas make up approximately \1/3\ \\ of veteran enrollees in the 
    patient enrollment system, and are on average, older than their 
    veteran peers in urban areas, experience higher degrees of 
    financial instability, and live with a greater number of complex 
    health needs and comorbidities.
        (5) The Federal Communications Commission estimated in 2020 
    that 15 percent of veteran households do not have an internet 
    connection.
        (6) Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security 
    Act (Public Law 116-136), Congress granted the Department 
    additional authority to enter into short-term agreements or 
    contracts with private sector telecommunications companies to 
    provide certain broadband services for the purposes of providing 
    expanded mental health services to isolated veterans through 
    telehealth or VA Video Connect during a public health emergency.
        (7) The authority described in paragraph (6) was not utilized 
    to the fullest extent by the Department.
        (8) Though the Department has made significant progress in 
    expanding telehealth services offered to veterans who are enrolled 
    in the patient enrollment system, significant gaps still exist to 
    ensure all veterans receive equal and high-quality access to 
    virtual care.
        (9) Questions regarding the efficacy of using telehealth for 
    certain health care services and specialties remain, and should be 
    further studied.
        (10) The Department continues to expand telehealth and virtual 
    care offerings for primary care, mental health care, specialty 
    care, urgent care, and even remote intensive care units.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
telehealth services offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs 
should be routinely measured and evaluated to ensure the telehealth 
technologies and modalities delivered to veteran patients to treat a 
wide variety of health conditions are as effective as in-person 
treatment for primary care, mental health care, and other forms of 
specialty care.
    (c) Development of Strategic Plan.--
        (1) In general.--Not later than one year after the date of the 
    enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, acting 
    through the Office of Connected Care of the Department of Veterans 
    Affairs, shall develop a strategic plan to ensure the effectiveness 
    of the telehealth technologies and modalities delivered by the 
    Department to veterans who are enrolled in the patient enrollment 
    system.
        (2) Update.--
            (A) In general.--The Secretary shall update the strategic 
        plan required under paragraph (1) not less frequently than once 
        every three years following development of the plan.
            (B) Consultation.--The Secretary shall prepare any update 
        required under subparagraph (A) in consultation with the 
        following:
                (i) The Chief Officer of the Office of Connected Care 
            of the Department.
                (ii) The Executive Director of Telehealth Services of 
            the Office of Connected Care.
                (iii) The Executive Director of Connected Health of the

                (iv) The Executive Director of the Office of Rural 
            Health of the Department.
                (v) The Executive Director of Solution Delivery, IT 
            Operations and Services of the Office of Information and 
            Technology of the Department.
        (3) Elements.--The strategic plan required under paragraph (1), 
    and any update to that plan under paragraph (2), shall include, at 
    a minimum, the following:
            (A) A comprehensive list of all health care specialties the

        Department.
            (E) An outline of all current partnerships maintained by

        veterans who are enrolled in the patient enrollment system.
            (G) A detailed plan illustrating how the Department is 
        working with other Federal agencies, including the Department 
        of Health and Human Services, the Department of Agriculture, 
        the Federal Communications Commission, and the National 
        Telecommunications and Information Administration, to enhance 
        connectivity in rural, highly rural, and medically underserved 
        areas to better reach all veterans.
            (H) The feasibility and advisability of partnering with 
        Federally qualified health centers, rural health clinics, and 
        critical access hospitals to fill the gap for health care 
        services that exists for veterans who reside in rural and 
        highly rural areas.
            (I) An evaluation of the number of veterans who are 
        enrolled in the patient enrollment system who have previously

      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.

    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.

    services described in section 1720G(a)(C) of title 38, United 
    States Code.
        (5) An assessment of the staffing needs and associated costs of 
    making assistance and support available to caregivers of veterans 
    in the Republic of the Philippines.
        (6) An assessment of the infrastructure needs and associated 
    costs of making assistance and support available to caregivers of 
    veterans in the Republic of the Philippines.
        (7) An assessment of the local transportation challenges to 
    making assistance and support available to caregivers of veterans 
    in the Republic of the Philippines.
        (8) An assessment of how the Secretary would determine payment 
    rates for caregivers of veterans in the Republic of the Philippines 
    to account for variances in living standards in the Republic of the 
    Philippines.
        (9) Such other elements as the Secretary considers appropriate.
    (d) Definitions.--In this section:
        (1) Caregiver.--The term ``caregiver'' has the meaning given 
    that term in section 1720G(d) of title 38, United States Code.
        (2) Patient enrollment system.--The term ``patient enrollment

                     Subtitle H--Mental Health Care

    SEC. 191. ANALYSIS OF FEASIBILITY AND ADVISABILITY OF DEPARTMENT OF 
      VETERANS AFFAIRS PROVIDING EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENTS FOR THE 
      DIAGNOSIS OF TREATMENT-RESISTANT DEPRESSION.
    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) A systematic review in 2019 of the economics and quality of 
    life relating to treatment-resistant depression summarized that 
    major depressive disorder (in this subsection referred to as 
    ``MDD'') is a global public health concern and that treatment-
    resistant depression in particular represents a key unmet need. The 
    findings of that review highlighted the need for improved therapies 
    for treatment-resistant depression to reduce disease burden, lower 
    medical costs, and improve the quality of life of patients.
        (2) The Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of MDD 
    (in this subsection referred to as the ``CPG'') developed jointly 
    by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense 
    defines treatment-resistant depression as at least two adequate 
    treatment trials and lack of full response to each.
        (3) The CPG recommends electro-convulsive therapy (in this 
    subsection referred to as ``ECT'') as a treatment strategy for 
    patients who have failed multiple other treatment strategies.
        (4) The CPG recommends offering repetitive transcranial 
    magnetic stimulation (in this subsection referred to as ``rTMS''), 
    an intervention that is indicated by the Food and Drug 
    Administration, for treatment during a major depressive episode in 
    patients with treatment-resistant MDD.
        (5) The final report of the Creating Options for Veterans' 
    Expedited Recovery Commission (commonly referred to as the ``COVER 
    Commission'') established under section 931 of the Jason Simcakoski 
    Memorial and Promise Act (title IX of Public Law 114-198; 38 U.S.C. 
    1701 note) found that treatment-resistant depression is a major 
    issue throughout the mental health treatment system, and that an 
    estimated 50 percent of depressed patients are inadequately treated 
    by available interventions.
        (6) The COVER Commission also reported data collected from the

                          DIVISION Z--COVS ACT

    SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.
    This division may be cited as the ``Computers for Veterans and 
Students Act of 2022'' or the ``COVS Act''.
    SEC. 102. FINDINGS.
    Congress finds the following:
        (1) Access to computers and computer technology is 
    indispensable for success in the 21st century. Millions of 
    Americans do not regularly use a computer and research shows that 
    substantial disparities remain in both internet use and the quality 
    of access, with the digital divide concentrated among older, less 
    educated, less affluent populations, especially veterans, low-
    income students, and senior citizens.
        (2) The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the gap between those 
    with computer access and those without. Millions of students, their 
    families, and workers from across the economy were unable to do 
    schoolwork, work remotely from home, or connect to loved ones and 
    their communities because of the digital divide.
        (3) Any Federal program that distributes surplus, repairable 
    Federal computers or technology equipment would benefit from a 
    partnership with a nonprofit organization whose mission is bridging 
    the digital divide.
    SEC. 103. REFURBISHMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF SURPLUS COMPUTERS AND 
      TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT.
    (a) In General.--Subchapter III of chapter 5 of title 40, United

               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

      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

law.

    medal described under subsection (a) to the United States Holocaust 
    Memorial Museum.

    determines that such display is timely, feasible, and practical.

charged against the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund such 
amounts as may be necessary to pay for the costs of the medals struck 
under this title.
    (b) Proceeds of Sale.--Amounts received from the sale of duplicate 
bronze medals authorized under section 704 shall be deposited into the

        (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).

    (b) Disclosure Required.--
        (1) Requirement.--
            (A) In general.--An online marketplace shall--
                (i) require any high-volume third party seller with an

            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--

                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;

                    (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--

            (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.

                official seal of such taxing authority and shall 
                provide the establishment's or affiliate's gross 
                receipts or sales for the most recent year in both the

                regarding whether an entity may receive the waiver for 
                such year is not reviewable.''.

    (b) Taxing Authority.--Section 738(d)(2)(B)(iii) of the Federal 
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 379j(d)(2)(B)(iii)) is amended

    formula to increase the resiliency of the infant formula supply 
    chain, protect against future contamination and other potential 
    causes of supply disruptions and shortages, and ensure parents and 
    caregivers have access to infant formula and information they need.
        (2) Immediate national strategy.--The national strategy under 
    paragraph (1) shall include efforts--
            (A) to increase the resiliency of the infant formula supply 
        chain in the short-term by--
                (i) assessing causes of any supply disruption or 
            shortage of infant formula in existence as of the date of 
            enactment of this Act and potential causes of future supply 
            disruptions and shortages;
                (ii) assessing and addressing immediate infant formula 
            needs associated with the shortage; and
                (iii) developing a plan to increase infant formula 
            supply, including through increased competition; and
            (B) to ensure the development and updating of education and 
        communication materials for parents and caregivers that cover--
                (i) where and how to find infant formula;
                (ii) comparable infant formulas on the market;
                (iii) what to do if a specialty infant formula is 
            unavailable;

    defined in section 201(ss)) shall notify the Secretary of a 
    permanent discontinuance in the manufacture or an interruption of 
    the manufacture of such food that is likely to lead to a meaningful

    Agriculture and to the maximum extent practicable to the 
    appropriate entities, as determined by the Secretary through such 
    means as the Secretary determines appropriate, information on such 
    shortage.

    the Secretary to disclose any information that is a trade secret or 
    confidential information subject to section 552(b)(4) of title 5, 
    United States Code, or section 1905 of title 18, United States

        likely to lead to a significant reduction in the supply of a 
        critical food by a manufacturer that affects the ability of the 
        manufacturer to meet expected demand for its product; and
            ``(B) does not include interruptions in manufacturing due 
        to matters such as routine maintenance, changes or 
        discontinuance of flavors, colors, or other insignificant 
        formulation characteristics, or insignificant changes in 
        manufacturing so long as the manufacturer expects to resume 
        operations in a short period of time.
    ``(b) Risk Management Plans.--Each manufacturer of a critical food 
shall develop, maintain, and implement, as appropriate, a redundancy 
risk management plan that identifies and evaluates risks to the supply 
of the food, as applicable, for each establishment in which such food 
is manufactured. A risk management plan under this subsection--

    than one critical food, or critical food category, manufactured at 
    the same establishment;
        ``(2) may identify mechanisms by which the manufacturer would 
    mitigate the impacts of a supply disruption through alternative 
    production sites, alternative suppliers, stockpiling of inventory, 
    or other means; and

        Secretary shall make available to the public on the website of 
        the Food and Drug Administration, with appropriate redactions 
        made to protect the information described in subsection 
        (a)(3)--

            such letter such person submitted to the Secretary.
        ``(2) Exception.--If the Secretary determines that the letter 
    under paragraph (1) was issued in error or, after review of such 
    response, the person had a reasonable basis for not submitting a 
    notification as required under subsection (a), the requirements of 
    paragraph (1)(B) shall not apply.''.

        country that is determined by the Secretary to be implementing 
        and enforcing requirements for infant formula that provide a 
        similar assurance of safety and nutritional adequacy as the 
        requirements of this Act; or
            ``(B) the distribution and sale of such imported specialty 
        infant formula.
        ``(2) Rule of construction.--Nothing in paragraph (1) shall be 
    construed to limit the authority of the Secretary to require a 
    recall of, or otherwise impose restrictions and requirements under 
    this Act with respect to, specialty infant formula that is subject 
    to a waiver under paragraph (1).
        ``(3) Definition of specialty infant formula.--In this 
    subsection, the term `specialty infant formula' means infant 
    formula described in subsection (h)(1).''.
    (m) Importation for Personal Use.--

    individual may, without prior notice to the Food and Drug 
    Administration, import up to a 3-month supply of infant formula for 
    personal use from--
            (A) Canada;
            (B) any country in the European Union; or
            (C) any other country that is determined by the Secretary 
        to be implementing and enforcing requirements for infant 
        formula that provide a similar assurance of safety and 
        nutritional adequacy as the requirements of the Federal Food, 
        Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.).
        (2) Limitations.--Infant formula may be imported pursuant to 
    paragraph (1) only if the infant formula--
            (A) is exclusively for personal use and will not be 
        commercialized or promoted; and
            (B) does not present an unreasonable risk to human health.
        (3) Reporting of adverse events.--If a health care provider 
    becomes aware of any adverse event which the health care provider 
    reasonably suspects to be associated with infant formula imported 
    pursuant to paragraph (1), the health care provider shall report 
    such adverse event to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs.
        (4) Public notice.--The Secretary, acting through the

        (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.

categories of ingredients in the specific fragrances or flavors in the 
cosmetic product, from the responsible person. The responsible person 
shall ensure that the requested information is submitted to the 
Secretary within 30 days of such request. In response to a request

submitted to the Secretary under this section, including any new 
medical information submitted under subsection (b)(2), or an adverse

        ``(1) a safety report under section 756 and may be accompanied 
    by a statement, which shall be a part of any report that is 
    released for public disclosure, that denies that the report or the 
    records constitute an admission that the product involved caused or 
    contributed to the adverse event; and
        ``(2) a record about an individual under section 552a of title 
    5, United States Code (commonly referred to as the `Privacy Act of 
    1974') and a medical or similar file the disclosure of which would 
    constitute a violation of section 552 of such title 5 (commonly 
    referred to as the `Freedom of Information Act'), and shall not be 
    publicly disclosed unless all personally identifiable information 
    is redacted.
    ``(h) Effect of Section.--

        submitting such information to the Secretary.
        ``(3) Use of reports.--Nothing in this section shall permit a 
    State, territory, or political subdivision of a State or territory, 
    to use any safety report received from the Secretary in a manner

    ``(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

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

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.

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

    but not later than 5 business days after the issuance of the order, 
    or such other time period agreed upon by the Secretary and the 
    registrant, on the actions required for reinstatement of 
    registration and why the registration that is subject to the 
    suspension should be reinstated. The Secretary shall reinstate a 
    registration if the Secretary determines, based on evidence 
    presented, that adequate grounds do not exist to continue the 
    suspension of the registration.
        ``(4) Post-hearing corrective action plan.--If, after providing 
    opportunity for an informal hearing under paragraph (3), the 
    Secretary determines that the suspension of registration remains 
    necessary, the Secretary shall require the registrant to submit a 
    corrective action plan to demonstrate how the registrant plans to 
    correct the conditions found by the Secretary. The Secretary shall 
    review such plan not later than 14 business days after the 
    submission of the corrective action plan or such other time period 
    as determined by the Secretary, in consultation with the 
    registrant.

    substantiation of safety' means tests or studies, research, 
    analyses, or other evidence or information that is considered, 
    among experts qualified by scientific training and experience to 
    evaluate the safety of cosmetic products and their ingredients, 
    sufficient to support a reasonable certainty that a cosmetic 
    product is safe.
        ``(2) Safe.--The term `safe' means that the cosmetic product, 
    including any ingredient thereof, is not injurious to users under 
    the conditions of use prescribed in the labeling thereof, or under 
    such conditions of use as are customary or usual. The Secretary 
    shall not consider a cosmetic ingredient or cosmetic product 
    injurious to users solely because it can cause minor and transient 
    reactions or minor and transient skin irritations in some users. In 
    determining for purposes of this section whether a cosmetic product 
    is safe, the Secretary may consider, as appropriate and available, 
    the cumulative or other relevant exposure to the cosmetic product, 
    including any ingredient thereof.
    ``SEC. 609. LABELING.
    ``(a) General Requirement.--Each cosmetic product shall bear a 
label that includes a domestic address, domestic phone number, or 
electronic contact information, which may include a website, through 
which the responsible person can receive adverse event reports with 
respect to such cosmetic product.
    ``(b) Fragrance Allergens.--The responsible person shall identify 
on the label of a cosmetic product each fragrance allergen included in 
such cosmetic product. Substances that are fragrance allergens for 
purposes of this subsection shall be determined by the Secretary by 
regulation. The Secretary shall issue a notice of proposed rulemaking 
promulgating the regulation implementing this requirement not later 
than 18 months after the date of enactment of the Modernization of 
Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022, and not later than 180 days after the 
date on which the public comment period on the proposed rulemaking 
closes, shall issue a final rulemaking. In promulgating regulations 
implementing this subsection, the Secretary shall consider 
international, State, and local requirements for allergen disclosure, 
including the substance and format of requirements in the European 
Union, and may establish threshold levels of amounts of substances 
subject to disclosure pursuant to such regulations.
    ``(c) Cosmetic Products for Professional Use.--
        ``(1) Definition of professional.--For purposes of this 
    subsection, the term `professional' means an individual who is 
    licensed by an official State authority to practice in the field of 
    cosmetology, nail care, barbering, or esthetics.

        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 
functions subject to this Act), research data (other than safety 
substantiation data for cosmetic products and their ingredients), or

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.

justify the order.

    inadequate grounds exist to support the actions required by the 
    order;
        ``(2) continue the order ceasing distribution of the cosmetic 
    until a date specified in such order; or
        ``(3) amend the order to require a recall of the cosmetic,

(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.

        cosmetic was, or may have been, distributed; and

            consumers about similar cosmetics that are not affected by 
            the recall; and
        ``(2) ensure publication, as appropriate, on the website of the 
    Food and Drug Administration of an image of the cosmetic that is 
    the subject of the press release described in paragraph (1), if 
    available.

order a recall or vacate a recall order shall not be delegated to any 
officer or employee other than the Commissioner.

manufacturing practice, records, recalls, adverse event reporting, or 
safety substantiation.
    ``(b) Limitation.--Nothing in the amendments to this Act made by 
the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 shall be

    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

    deliver crisis response services, such as identifying and 
    repurposing available beds, space, and staff for crisis response 
    services.

    funding with other payors and sources of Federal funding for mental 
    health and substance use disorder crisis response services, and

    connections with follow-on mental health and substance use disorder 
    services, as well as with social services and supports.

        TITLE II--DISCLOSURE OF SUBSIDIES BY FOREIGN ADVERSARIES

    SEC. 201. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
        (1) Foreign subsidies, which can take the form of direct 
    subsidies, grants, loans (including below-market loans), loan 
    guarantees, tax concessions, preferential government procurement 
    policies, or government ownership or control, can distort the 
    competitive process by enabling the subsidized firm to submit a bid 
    higher than other firms in the market, or otherwise change the 
    incentives of the firm in ways that undermine competition following 
    an acquisition.
        (2) Foreign subsidies are particularly problematic when granted 
    by countries or entities that constitute a strategic or economic 
    threat to United States interests.
        (3) The Made in China 2025 plan, states that the Chinese 
    Communist Party will ``support enterprises to carry out mergers and 
    acquisitions (M&A), equity investment, and venture capital 
    overseas''.
        (4) The 2020 report to Congress from the bipartisan U.S.-China 
    Economic and Security Review Commission concluded that the Chinese 
    Government subsidizes companies with a goal of their expanding into 
    the United States and other countries, finding that ``[t]his 
    process assists Chinese national champions in surpassing and 
    supplanting global market leaders''. The report warns that the risk 
    is particularly acute when it comes to emerging technologies, where 
    China seeks to ``surpass and displace the United States altogether 
    [and that] [f]ailure to appreciate the gravity of this challenge 
    and defend U.S. competitiveness would be dire . . . [and] risks 
    setting back U.S. economic and technological progress for 
    decades''.
        (5) In remarks before the Hudson Institute on December 8, 2020, 
    FTC Commissioner Noah Phillips stated, ``[O]ne area where antitrust 
    needs to reckon with the strategic interests of other nations is 
    when we scrutinize mergers or conduct involving state-owned 
    entities . . . companies that are controlled, to varying degrees, 
    by the state . . . [and] often are a government tool for 
    implementing industrial policies or to protect national security''.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to require parties 
providing pre-merger notifications to include in the notification 
required under section 7A of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. 18a) 
information concerning subsidies they receive from countries or 
entities that are strategic or economic threats to the United States.
    SEC. 202. MERGERS INVOLVING FOREIGN GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES.
    (a) Definition.--In this section, the term ``foreign entity of 
concern'' has the meaning given the term in section 40207 of the 
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (42 U.S.C. 18741(a)).
    (b) Accounting for Foreign Government Subsidies.--A person required 
to file a notification under section 7A of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. 
18a) that received a subsidy from a foreign entity of concern shall 
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.

    shall submit to the Secretary, the Committee on Agriculture of the 
    House of Representatives, and the Committee on Agriculture, 
    Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate an initial assessment that 
    examines ways to ensure certainty for farmers, ranchers, or private 
    forest landowners in the marketplace for agriculture or forestry 
    credits, including identification of any information that may be 
    appropriate for entities to provide when registering under 
    subsection (d)(1)(B).
        (2) General assessment.--Not later than 240 days after the date 
    of enactment of this Act, the Secretary, in consultation with the 
    Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, shall--
            (A) conduct an assessment, which incorporates information 
        from existing publications and reports of the Department of 
        Agriculture and other entities with relevant expertise, 
        regarding--
                (i) the number and categories of non-Federal actors in 
            the nonprofit and for-profit sectors involved in 
            development, generation, or sale of agriculture or forestry 
            credits in voluntary environmental credit markets;
                (ii) the estimated overall domestic market demand for 
            agriculture or forestry credits at the end of the preceding 
            4-calendar year period, and historically, in voluntary 
            environmental credit markets;
                (iii) the total number of agriculture or forestry 
            credits (measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide 
            equivalent) that were estimated to be in development, 
            generated, or sold in market transactions during the 
            preceding 4-calendar year period, and historically, in 
            voluntary environmental credit markets;
                (iv) the estimated supply and demand of metric tons of 
            carbon dioxide equivalent of offsets in the global 
            marketplace for the next 4 years;
                (v) the barriers to entry due to compliance and 
            verification costs described in subsection (f)(4)(C)(iii);
                (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

  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

  neither requested nor required by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant's

  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.

(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

  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

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

  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.

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

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

(2) 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.
(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) Due to low fee and short time frame this category is not eligible for small business waivers.

(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.''.
