                                administrative provisions

        The Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Indian Education may carry
    out the operation of Indian programs by direct expenditure, contracts,
    cooperative agreements, compacts, and grants, either directly or in cooperation
    with States and other organizations.
        Notwithstanding Public Law 87-279 (25 U.S.C. 15), the Bureau of Indian
    Affairs may contract for services in support of the management, operation, and
    maintenance of the Power Division of the San Carlos Irrigation Project.
        Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds available to the Bureau
    of Indian Affairs or the Bureau of Indian Education for central office oversight
    and Executive Direction and Administrative Services (except Executive Direction
    and Administrative Services funding for Tribal Priority Allocations, regional
    offices, and facilities operations and maintenance) shall be available for
    contracts, grants, compacts, or cooperative agreements with the Bureau of Indian
    Affairs or the Bureau of Indian Education under the provisions of the Indian
    Self-Determination Act or the Tribal Self-Governance Act of 1994 (Public Law
    103-413).
        In the event any tribe returns appropriations made available by this Act to
    the Bureau of Indian Affairs or the Bureau of Indian Education, this action
    shall not diminish the Federal Government's trust responsibility to that tribe,
    or the government-to-government relationship between the United States and that
    tribe, or that tribe's ability to access future appropriations.
        Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds available to the Bureau
    of Indian Education, other than the amounts provided herein for assistance to
    public schools under 25 U.S.C. 452 et seq., shall be available to support the
    operation of any elementary or secondary school in the State of Alaska.
        No funds available to the Bureau of Indian Education shall be used to
    support expanded grades for any school or dormitory beyond the grade structure
    in place or approved by the Secretary of the Interior at each school in the
    Bureau of Indian Education school system as of October 1, 1995, except that the
    Secretary of the Interior may waive this prohibition to support expansion of up
    to one additional grade when the Secretary determines such waiver is needed to
    support accomplishment of the mission of the Bureau of Indian Education, or more
    than one grade to expand the elementary grade structure for Bureau-funded
    schools with a K-2 grade structure on October 1, 1996. Appropriations made
    available in this or any prior Act for schools funded by the Bureau shall be
    available, in accordance with the Bureau's funding formula, only to the schools
    in the Bureau school system as of September 1, 1996, and to any school or school
    program that was reinstated in fiscal year 2012. Funds made available under this
    Act may not be used to establish a charter school at a Bureau-funded school (as
    that term is defined in section 1141 of the Education Amendments of 1978 (25
    U.S.C. 2021)), except that a charter school that is in existence on the date of
    the enactment of this Act and that has operated at a Bureau-funded school before
    September 1, 1999, may continue to operate during that period, but only if the
    charter school pays to the Bureau a pro rata share of funds to reimburse the
    Bureau for the use of the real and personal property (including buses and vans),
    the funds of the charter school are kept separate and apart from Bureau funds,
    and the Bureau does not assume any obligation for charter school programs of the
    State in which the school is located if the charter school loses such funding.
    Employees of Bureau-funded schools sharing a campus with a charter school and
    performing functions related to the charter school's operation and employees of
    a charter school shall not be treated as Federal employees for purposes of
    chapter 171 of title 28, United States Code.
        Notwithstanding any other provision of law, including section 113 of title I
    of appendix C of Public Law 106-113, if in fiscal year 2003 or 2004 a grantee
    received indirect and administrative costs pursuant to a distribution formula
    based on section 5(f) of Public Law 101-301, the Secretary shall continue to
    distribute indirect and administrative cost funds to such grantee using the
    section 5(f) distribution formula.
        Funds available under this Act may not be used to establish satellite
    locations of schools in the Bureau school system as of September 1, 1996, except
    that the Secretary may waive this prohibition in order for an Indian tribe to
    provide language and cultural immersion educational programs for non-public
    schools located within the jurisdictional area of the tribal government which
    exclusively serve tribal members, do not include grades beyond those currently
    served at the existing Bureau-funded school, provide an educational environment
    with educator presence and academic facilities comparable to the Bureau-funded
    school, comply with all applicable Tribal, Federal, or State health and safety
    standards, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, and demonstrate the benefits
    of establishing operations at a satellite location in lieu of incurring
    extraordinary costs, such as for transportation or other impacts to students
    such as those caused by busing students extended distances:  Provided, That no
    funds available under this Act may be used to fund operations, maintenance,
    rehabilitation, construction, or other facilities-related costs for such assets
    that are not owned by the Bureau:  Provided further, That the term ``satellite
    school'' means a school location physically separated from the existing Bureau
    school by more than 50 miles but that forms part of the existing school in all
    other respects.
        Funds made available for Tribal Priority Allocations within Operation of
    Indian Programs and Operation of Indian Education Programs may be used to
    execute requested adjustments in tribal priority allocations initiated by an
    Indian tribe.

            authorized for the program under section 202 of title 23, United States
            Code) that--
                        (A) are authorized to be appropriated for such fiscal year
                    for Federal-aid highway programs; and

                    for obligation, for such fiscal year because of the imposition
                    of any obligation limitation for such fiscal year.
                (2) Ratio.--Funds shall be distributed under paragraph (1) in the

    therefor:  Provided, That the Secretary shall post on a website any waivers

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

    provides written notification to the House and Senate Committees on
    Appropriations of the proposed grant, including an evaluation and justification
    for the project and the amount of the proposed grant award.
        Sec. 124. (a) A State or territory, as defined in section 165 of title 23,
    United States Code, may use for any project eligible under section 133(b) of
    title 23 or section 165 of title 23 and located within the boundary of the State

    Provided, That the Department of Transportation for the State or territory for
    which the earmarked amount was originally designated or directed notifies the
    Secretary of its intent to use its authority under this section and submits an
    annual report to the Secretary identifying the projects to which the funding
    would be applied. Notwithstanding the original period of availability of funds
    to be obligated under this section, such funds and associated obligation
    limitation shall remain available for obligation for a period of 3 fiscal years
    after the fiscal year in which the Secretary is notified. The Federal share of
    the cost of a project carried out with funds made available under this section
    shall be the same as associated with the earmark.

            the House of Representatives, identified in a prior law, report, or
            joint explanatory statement, which was authorized to be appropriated or
            appropriated more than 10 fiscal years prior to the current fiscal year,
            and administered by the Federal Highway Administration.
        (c) The authority under subsection (a) may be exercised only for those
    projects or activities that have obligated less than 10 percent of the amount
    made available for obligation as of October 1 of the 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 or territory certifies have been closed and for which payments have
    been made under a final voucher.
        (d) The Secretary shall submit consolidated reports of the information
    provided by the States and territories annually to the House and Senate
    Committees on Appropriations.

    1437f), any financial assistance (in excess of amounts received for tuition and
    any other required fees and charges) that an individual receives under the
    Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.), from private sources, or
    from an institution of higher education (as defined under section 102 of the
    Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1002)), shall be considered income to
    that individual, except for a person over the age of 23 with dependent children.
        Sec. 211.  The funds made available for Native Alaskans under paragraph (1)
    under the heading ``Native American Programs'' in title II of this Act shall be
    allocated to the same Native Alaskan housing block grant recipients that
    received funds in fiscal year 2005, and only such recipients shall be eligible
    to apply for funds made available under paragraph (2) of such heading.
        Sec. 212.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in fiscal year 2024,
    in managing and disposing of any multifamily property that is owned or has a
    mortgage held by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and during the
    process of foreclosure on any property with a contract for rental assistance
    payments under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C.
    1437f) or any other Federal programs, the Secretary shall maintain any rental
    assistance payments under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 and
    other programs that are attached to any dwelling units in the property. To the
    extent the Secretary determines, in consultation with the tenants and the local
    government that such a multifamily property owned or having a mortgage held by
    the Secretary is not feasible for continued rental assistance payments under
    such section 8 or other programs, based on consideration of (1) the costs of
    rehabilitating and operating the property and all available Federal, State, and
    local resources, including rent adjustments under section 524 of the Multifamily
    Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 (in this section
    ``MAHRAA'') (42 U.S.C. 1437f note), and (2) environmental conditions that cannot
    be remedied in a cost-effective fashion, the Secretary may, in consultation with
    the tenants of that property, contract for project-based rental assistance
    payments with an owner or owners of other existing housing properties, or
    provide other rental assistance. The Secretary shall also take appropriate steps
    to ensure that project-based contracts remain in effect prior to foreclosure,
    subject to the exercise of contractual abatement remedies to assist relocation
    of tenants for imminent major threats to health and safety after written notice
    to and informed consent of the affected tenants and use of other available
    remedies, such as partial abatements or receivership. After disposition of any
    multifamily property described in this section, the contract and allowable rent
    levels on such properties shall be subject to the requirements under section 524
    of MAHRAA.
        Sec. 213.  Public housing agencies that own and operate 400 or fewer public
    housing units may elect to be exempt from any asset management requirement
    imposed by the Secretary in connection with the operating fund rule:  Provided,
    That an agency seeking a discontinuance of a reduction of subsidy under the
    operating fund formula shall not be exempt from asset management requirements.
        Sec. 214.  With respect to the use of amounts provided in this Act and in
    future Acts for the operation, capital improvement, and management of public
    housing as authorized by sections 9(d) and 9(e) of the United States Housing Act
    of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g(d), (e)), the Secretary shall not impose any
    requirement or guideline relating to asset management that restricts or limits
    in any way the use of capital funds for central office costs pursuant to
    paragraph (1) or (2) of section 9(g) of the United States Housing Act of 1937
    (42 U.S.C. 1437g(g)(1), (2)):  Provided, That a public housing agency may not
    use capital funds authorized under section 9(d) for activities that are eligible
    under section 9(e) for assistance with amounts from the operating fund in excess
    of the amounts permitted under paragraph (1) or (2) of section 9(g).
        Sec. 215.  No official or employee of the Department of Housing and Urban
    Development shall be designated as an allotment holder unless the Office of the
    Chief Financial Officer has determined that such allotment holder has
    implemented an adequate system of funds control and has received training in
    funds control procedures and directives. The Chief Financial Officer shall
    ensure that there is a trained allotment holder for each HUD appropriation under
    the accounts ``Executive Offices'', ``Administrative Support Offices'',
    ``Program Offices'', ``Government National Mortgage Association--Guarantees of
    Mortgage-Backed Securities Loan Guarantee Program Account'', and ``Office of
    Inspector General'' within the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
        Sec. 216.  The Secretary shall, for fiscal year 2024, 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 2024, the Secretary may make the NOFO
    available only on the Internet at the appropriate Government website or through
    other electronic media, as determined by the Secretary.
        Sec. 217.  Payment of attorney fees in program-related litigation shall be
    paid from the individual program office and Office of General Counsel salaries
    and expenses appropriations.
        Sec. 218.  The Secretary is authorized to transfer up to 10 percent or
    $5,000,000, whichever is less, of funds appropriated for any office under the
    headings ``Administrative Support Offices'' or ``Program Offices'' to any other
    such office under such headings:  Provided, That no appropriation for any such
    office under such headings shall be increased or decreased by more than 10
    percent or $5,000,000, whichever is less, without prior written approval of the
    House and Senate Committees on Appropriations:  Provided further, That the
    Secretary shall provide notification to such Committees 3 business days in
    advance of any such transfers under this section up to 10 percent or $5,000,000,
    whichever is less.
        Sec. 219. (a) Any entity receiving housing assistance payments shall
    maintain decent, safe, and sanitary conditions, as determined by the Secretary,
    and comply with any standards under applicable State or local laws, rules,
    ordinances, or regulations relating to the physical condition of any property
    covered under a housing assistance payment contract.
        (b) The Secretary shall take action under subsection (c) when a multifamily
    housing project with a contract under section 8 of the United States Housing Act
    of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f) or a contract for similar project-based assistance--
                (1) receives a failing score under the Uniform Physical Condition
            Standards (UPCS) or successor standard; or
                (2) fails to certify in writing to the Secretary within 3 days that
            all Exigent Health and Safety deficiencies, or those deficiencies
            requiring correction within 24 hours, 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 Center
    (``REAC'') inspection, the Secretary shall provide the owner with a Notice of
    Default with a specified timetable, determined by the Secretary, for correcting
    all deficiencies. The Secretary shall provide a copy of the Notice of Default to
    the tenants, the local government, any mortgagees, and any contract
    administrator. If the owner's appeal results in a passing score, the Secretary
    may withdraw the Notice of Default.
        (2) At the end of the time period for correcting all deficiencies specified
    in the Notice of Default, if the owner fails to fully correct such deficiencies,
    the Secretary may--
                (A) require immediate replacement of project management with a
            management agent approved by the Secretary;
                (B) impose civil money penalties, which shall be used solely for the
            purpose of supporting safe and sanitary conditions at applicable
            properties, as designated by the Secretary, with priority given to the
            tenants of the property affected by the penalty;
                (C) abate the section 8 contract, including partial abatement, as
            determined by the Secretary, until all deficiencies have been corrected;
                (D) pursue transfer of the project to an owner, approved by 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

                (G) seek judicial appointment of a receiver to manage the property
            and cure all project deficiencies or seek a judicial order of specific
            performance requiring the owner to cure all project deficiencies;
                (H) work with the owner, lender, or other related party to stabilize
            the property in an attempt to preserve the property through compliance,
            transfer of ownership, or an infusion of capital provided by a third-
            party that requires time to effectuate; or
                (I) take any other regulatory or contractual remedies available as
            deemed necessary and appropriate by the Secretary.
        (d) The Secretary shall take appropriate steps to ensure that project-based
    contracts remain in effect, subject to the exercise of contractual abatement
    remedies to assist relocation of tenants for major threats to health and safety
    after written notice to the affected tenants. To the extent the Secretary
    determines, in consultation with the tenants and the local government, that the
    property is not feasible for continued rental assistance payments under such
    section 8 or other programs, based on consideration of--
                (1) the costs of rehabilitating and operating the property and all
            available Federal, State, and local resources, including rent
            adjustments under section 524 of the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform
            and Affordability Act of 1997 (``MAHRAA''); and
                (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 existing housing
            properties, or provide other rental assistance.
        (e) The Secretary shall report semi-annually on all properties covered by
    this section that are assessed through the Real Estate Assessment Center and
    have failing physical inspection scores or have received an unsatisfactory
    management and occupancy review within the past 36 months. The report shall
    include--
                (1) identification of the enforcement actions being taken to address
            such conditions, including imposition of civil money penalties and
            termination of subsidies, and identification of properties that have
            such conditions multiple times;
                (2) identification of actions that the Department of Housing and
            Urban Development is taking to protect tenants of such identified
            properties; and
                (3) any administrative or legislative recommendations to further
            improve the living conditions at properties covered under a housing
            assistance payment contract.
        The first report shall be submitted to the Senate and House Committees on

    refinances or otherwise replaces a mortgage that has been subject to eminent
    domain condemnation or seizure, by a State, municipality, or any other political
    subdivision of a State.

    program.
        Sec. 227. (a) From amounts made available under this title under the heading

            associated with such terminating contract under section 8(o)(13) of the
            Act:'';

        Sec. 232.  For fiscal year 2024, if the Secretary determines or has
    determined, for any prior formula grant allocation administered by the Secretary
    through the Offices of Public and Indian Housing, Community Planning and
    Development, or Housing, that a recipient received an allocation greater than
    the amount such recipient should have received for a formula allocation cycle
    pursuant to applicable statutes and regulations, the Secretary may adjust for
    any such funding error in the next applicable formula allocation cycle by (a)
    offsetting each such recipient's formula allocation (if eligible for a formula
    allocation in the next applicable formula allocation cycle) by the amount of any
    such funding error, and (b) reallocating any available balances that are
    attributable to the offset to the recipient or recipients that would have been
    allocated additional funds in the formula allocation cycle in which any such
    error occurred (if such recipient or recipients are eligible for a formula
    allocation in the next applicable formula allocation cycle) in an amount
    proportionate to such recipient's eligibility under the next applicable formula
    allocation cycle:  Provided, That all offsets and reallocations from such
    available balances shall be recorded against funds available for the next
    applicable formula allocation cycle:  Provided further, That the term ``next
    applicable formula allocation cycle'' means the first formula allocation cycle
    for a program that is reasonably available for correction following such a
    Secretarial determination:  Provided further, That if, upon request by a
    recipient and giving consideration to all Federal resources available to the
    recipient for the same grant purposes, the Secretary determines that the offset

            the citizens of the Marshall Islands, resulting from the Nuclear Testing

            identified as of the effective date of this Agreement, and if such
            injuries render the provisions of this Agreement manifestly inadequate,
            the Government of the Marshall Islands may request that the Government
            of the United States provide for such injuries by submitting such a
            request to the Congress of the United States for its consideration. It
            is understood that this Article does not commit the Congress of the
            United States to authorize and appropriate funds.''; and
