    unaccompanied alien children will remain in the custody of the
    Department of Homeland Security for longer than 72 hours or that

    such separation was pursuant to an option selected by the children,
    parents, or guardians), subsequently classified as unaccompanied alien
    children, and transferred to the care and custody of ORR during the
    previous month. Each report shall contain the following information:
            (1) the number and ages of children so separated subsequent to
        apprehension at or between ports of entry, to be reported by sector
        where separation occurred; and

    conditions regarding any individual identified as a principal
    investigator or key personnel in an NIH notice of award or progress
    report even if during the course of the investigation the individual
    under investigation leaves their current position and is no longer
    employed by the institution. The Director may hereafter decline
    transfer of an ongoing extramural award to a different institution if
    concerns about harassment, bullying, hostile work environment, or other
    professional misconduct on the part of a principal investigator or key
    personnel named in the Notice of Award or progress report have not been
    resolved to the NIH's satisfaction. The Director of the NIH shall
    hereafter have the authority to share investigation reports,
    conclusions, and results of any investigation of individuals identified
    as a principal investigator or as key personnel in an NIH notice of
    award or progress report due to concerns about harassment, bullying,
    retaliation, or hostile working conditions on an as needed basis with
    any institution that receives funds through a grant or cooperative

    Act.
        Sec. 240. (a) Not to exceed the amount of funds made available
    under the heading ``National Institutes of Health'' in fiscal year 2025
    that were obligated during fiscal year 2025 for more than one year of a
    multiyear award may be obligated in fiscal year 2026 from amounts made
    available under such heading in this Act for more than one year of a
    multiyear award.
        (b) A multiyear award, as the term is used in this section,
    includes multiyear awards for grants, cooperative agreements,
    contracts, and any other financial mechanisms.
        Sec. 241.  The Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
    Services shall not apply the distance requirements under
    1820(c)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395i-
    4(c)(2)(B)(i)(I)) to any facility with a critical access hospital
    provider agreement that was designated and certified as a critical
    access hospital as of January 1, 2024, and receives a notification
    letter from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services during the
    period beginning on December 1, 2024, and ending on January 1, 2026,
    that the facility was found to be noncompliant with such distance
    requirements under section 1820(c)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Social Security
    Act (42 U.S.C. 1395i-4(c)(2)(B)(i)(I)). In the case where a provider
    agreement for such facility was terminated on or after December 1, 2024
    but prior to the date of enactment of this Act exclusively because such
    facility was unable to meet the distance requirement under section
    1820(c)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395i-
    4(c)(2)(B)(i)(I)), the Administrator shall provide for the
    recertification of such facility as a critical access hospital and
    reinstatement of such provider agreement. This provision shall not be
    construed to prohibit the application of any other enforcement measures
    deemed necessary by the Administrator, including termination of the
    provider agreement, in response to such facility's violation of any
    Federal regulation other than the distance requirement.
        This title may be cited as the ``Department of Health and Human

        2016 (Public Law 114-113):  Provided further, That for public
        housing agencies in the MTW demonstration subject to single fund
        budget authority provisions, the Secretary shall provide not less
        than 60 days to appeal such offsets and shall not offset amounts
        that have been committed to capital improvement, development, and
        other repositioning activities that are scheduled to close within
        12 months of enactment of this Act, as evidenced in funding
        applications, project schedules, or other commitments to third
        parties implementing such activities, to the extent that reserve
        amounts excluded from offset under such section 239 are
        insufficient to cover such commitments:  Provided further, That the
        Secretary shall not offset any portion of a public housing agency's
        excess amounts if offsetting such portion would result in a public
        housing agency being put in a shortfall position in calendar year
        2026, as estimated by HUD prior to the offset's implementation, as
        determined by the Secretary:  Provided further, That the Secretary
        shall use any such offset amounts referred to in the preceding five
        provisos throughout the calendar year to prevent the termination of
        rental assistance for families as the result of insufficient
        funding, as determined by the Secretary, and to avoid or reduce the
        proration of renewal funding allocations:  Provided further, That
        the Secretary may waive or specify alternative requirements for
        section 5A and section 8(o) of the Act or any regulation applicable

            determined by the Secretary, in renewal costs of vouchers
            resulting from unforeseen circumstances or from portability
            under section 8(r) of the Act;
                (B) for vouchers that were not in use during the previous
            12-month period in order to be available to meet a commitment
            pursuant to section 8(o)(13) of the Act, or an adjustment for a
            funding obligation not yet expended in the previous calendar
            year for a MTW-eligible activity to develop affordable housing
            for an agency added to the MTW demonstration under the
            expansion authority provided in section 239 of the
            Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related

            assistance for families as a result of insufficient funding;
                (E) for adjustments in the allocations for public housing
            agencies that--
                    (i) are leasing a lower-than-average percentage of
                their authorized vouchers,
                    (ii) have low amounts of budget authority in their net
                restricted assets accounts and HUD-held programmatic

    housing project or projects to another multifamily housing project or
    projects.
        (b) Phased Transfers.--Transfers of project-based assistance under
    this section may be done in phases to accommodate the financing and
    other requirements related to rehabilitating or constructing the
    project or projects to which the assistance is transferred, to ensure
    that such project or projects meet the standards under subsection (c).
        (c) The transfer authorized in subsection (a) is subject to the
    following conditions:
            (1) Number and bedroom size of units.--
                (A) For occupied units in the transferring project: The
            number of low-income and very low-income units and the
            configuration (i.e., bedroom size) provided by the transferring
            project shall be no less than when transferred to the receiving
            project or projects and the net dollar amount of Federal
            assistance provided to the transferring project shall remain
            the same in the receiving project or projects. The Secretary,
            upon determination of good cause, including a determination
            that there will be no loss of assistance to currently assisted
            households, may authorize a different number of such units or a
            change in such configuration, or both, at the receiving project
            or projects in the event there is a transfer of use
            restrictions without an associated transfer of project-based
            assistance to the receiving project. The Secretary shall
            publish a notice in the Federal Register for public comment
            containing the criteria for determinations of good cause no
            less than 60 days before the effective date of such notice.
                (B) For unoccupied units in the transferring project: The
            Secretary may authorize a reduction in the number of dwelling
            units in the receiving project or projects to allow for a
            reconfiguration of bedroom sizes to meet current market
            demands, as determined by the Secretary and provided there is
            no increase in the project-based assistance budget authority.
            (2) The transferring project shall, as determined by the
        Secretary, be either physically obsolete or economically nonviable,
        or be reasonably expected to become economically nonviable when
        complying with State or Federal requirements for community
        integration and reduced concentration of individuals with
        disabilities.
            (3) The receiving project or projects shall meet or exceed
        applicable physical standards established by the Secretary.
            (4) The owner or mortgagor of the transferring project shall
        notify and consult with the tenants residing in the transferring
        project and provide a certification of approval by all appropriate
        local governmental officials.
            (5) The tenants of the transferring project who remain eligible
        for assistance to be provided by the receiving project or projects
        shall not be required to vacate their units in the transferring
        project or projects until new units in the receiving project are
        available for occupancy.
            (6) The Secretary determines that this transfer is in the best
        interest of the tenants.
            (7) If either the transferring project or the receiving project
        or projects meets the condition specified in subsection (d)(2)(A),
        any lien on the receiving project resulting from additional
        financing obtained by the owner shall be subordinate to any FHA-
        insured mortgage lien transferred to, or placed on, such project by
        the Secretary, except that the Secretary may waive this requirement
        upon determination that such a waiver is necessary to facilitate
        the financing of acquisition, construction, and/or rehabilitation
        of the receiving project or projects.
            (8) If the transferring project meets the requirements of
        subsection (d)(2), the owner or mortgagor of the receiving project
        or projects shall execute and record either a continuation of the
        existing use agreement or a new use agreement for the project
        where, in either case, any use restrictions in such agreement are
        of no lesser duration than the existing use restrictions.
            (9) The transfer does not increase the cost (as defined in
        section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C.
        661a)) of any FHA-insured mortgage, except to the extent that
        appropriations are provided in advance for the amount of any such
        increased cost.

    the property and all available Federal, State, and local resources,
    including rent adjustments under section 524 of the Multifamily
    Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 (in this section

    based contracts remain in effect prior to foreclosure, subject to the
    exercise of contractual abatement remedies to assist relocation of
    tenants for imminent major threats to health and safety after written
    notice to and informed consent of the affected tenants and use of other
    available remedies, such as partial abatements or receivership. After
    disposition of any multifamily property described in this section, the
    contract and allowable rent levels on such properties shall be subject
    to the requirements under section 524 of MAHRAA.

        adjustments under section 524 of the Multifamily Assisted Housing
        Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 (``MAHRAA''); and

            (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

        further improve the living conditions at properties covered under a
        housing assistance payment contract.

    before any project, State, locality, housing authority, tribe,
    nonprofit organization, or other entity selected to receive a grant

    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

    allocation cycle) in an amount proportionate to such recipient's

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

    rents in the geographic area:  Provided further, That amounts remaining
    after all such renewals are made shall be competitively awarded
    pursuant to a notice of funding opportunity:  Provided further, That
    such renewals shall not render recipients ineligible for awards under
    any fiscal year 2025 and fiscal year 2026 notices of funding
    opportunity.
        This title may be cited as the ``Department of Housing and Urban

        Sec. 739.  None of the funds made available in this or any other

    of an intelligence or intelligence-related activity, other than an
    employee or officer of the United States Government, may contain

    document is to be used. Such form or agreement shall, at a minimum,
    require that the person will not disclose any classified information
    received in the course of such activity unless specifically authorized
    to do so by the United States Government. Such nondisclosure forms
    shall also make it clear that they do not bar disclosures to Congress,
    or to an authorized official of an executive agency or the Department
    of Justice, that are essential to reporting a substantial violation of
    law.
        (b) A nondisclosure agreement may continue to be implemented and

    not being paid in a timely manner pursuant to an agreement with the
    authority responsible for collecting the tax liability, where the
    awarding agency is aware of the unpaid tax liability, unless a Federal
    agency has considered suspension or debarment of the corporation and
    has made a determination that this further action is not necessary to
    protect the interests of the Government.
        Sec. 745.  None of the funds made available by this or any other

    criminal violation under any Federal law within the preceding 24
    months, where the awarding agency is aware of the conviction, unless a
    Federal agency has considered suspension or debarment of the
    corporation and has made a determination that this further action is

    is fixed by statute at an Executive Schedule rate, shall be the rate
    payable for the applicable Executive Schedule level on December 31,
    2025, by operation of section 747 of division B of Public Law 118-47,
    as continued in effect and modified by section 1605 of title VI of

        (c) Notwithstanding section 401 of the Foreign Service Act of 1980
    (Public Law 96-465) or any other provision of law, a chief of mission

    as other employees who are paid at an Executive Schedule rate.
        (d)(1) This subsection applies to--
            (A) a noncareer appointee in the Senior Executive Service paid
        a rate of basic pay at or above the official rate for level IV of
        the Executive Schedule; or

        (2) Notwithstanding sections 5382 and 5383 of title 5, United
    States Code, an employee described in paragraph (1) may not receive a

        (i) Notwithstanding subsections (b) through (e), an employee in a
    covered position may receive a pay rate increase upon an authorized
    movement to a different covered position only if that new position has
    higher-level duties and a pre-established level or range of pay higher
    than the level or range for the position held immediately before the
    movement. Any such increase must be based on the rates of pay and
    applicable limitations on payable rates of pay in effect on December
    31, 2025, by operation of section 747 of division B of Public Law 118-
    47, as continued in effect and modified by section 1605 of title VI of

    increases shall apply through the end of that pay period.
        (l) For the purpose of this section, the term ``covered position''
    means a position occupied by an employee whose pay is restricted under
    this section.
        (m) This section takes effect on the first day of the first
    applicable pay period beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
        Sec. 748.  In the event of a violation of the Impoundment Control
    Act of 1974, the President or the head of the relevant department or
    agency, as the case may be, shall report immediately to the Congress
    all relevant facts and a statement of actions taken:  Provided, That a

        provided in section 1513(b) of title 31, United States Code;
            (2) an approved apportionment received by the department or
        agency conditions the availability of an appropriation on further
        action; or
            (3) an approved apportionment received by the department or
        agency may hinder the prudent obligation of such appropriation or
        the execution of a program, project, or activity by such department
        or agency.
        (b) Any notification submitted to a congressional committee
    pursuant to this section shall contain information identifying the

        (e) Determinations.--
            (1) In general.--The provisions of this section shall not apply

        that--
                (A) such foreign government or entity has an effective
            arrangement that is providing substantial reimbursement of such
            taxes; or
                (B) the foreign policy interests of the United States
            outweigh the purpose of this section to ensure that United
            States assistance is not subject to taxation.

        the Committees on Appropriations at least 15 days prior to

        assistance that describes the privileges and immunities applicable
        to United States foreign assistance for such country generally, or
        an individual agreement between the Government of the United States
        and such government that describes, among other things, the
        treatment for tax purposes that will be accorded the United States
        assistance provided under that agreement.
            (2) Taxes and taxation.--The term ``taxes and taxation'' shall

    funds appropriated by this Act and administered by the Department of
    State that are specifically designated for particular programs or
    activities by this or any other Act may be extended for an additional
    fiscal year if the Secretary of State determines and reports promptly
    to the Committees on Appropriations that the termination of assistance
    to a country or a significant change in circumstances makes it unlikely
    that such designated funds can be obligated during the original period
    of availability:  Provided, That such designated funds that continue to
    be available for an additional fiscal year shall be obligated only for
    the purpose of such designation.
        (d) Other Acts.--Ceilings and specifically designated funding

        processes, or in countries that are undemocratic or undergoing
        democratic transition, the Secretary shall promptly determine if
        such information is credible:  Provided, That if the information is
        determined to be credible, funds appropriated by this Act should
        not be used for tear gas, small arms, light weapons, ammunition, or
        other items for crowd control purposes for such unit, unless the
        Secretary of State determines that the foreign government is taking
        effective measures to bring the responsible members of such unit to
        justice.
            (4) Oversight and accountability.--
                (A) Prior to the signing of a new Letter of Offer and

            security policy.
                (B) The Secretary of State shall promptly inform the
            appropriate congressional committees of any instance in which

        governments with funds appropriated to the Department of Defense or
        the Department of State, except for training provided by the
        government of a country designated by section 517(b) of such Act

        the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, the term ``credible
        information'' means information that, considering the source of
        such information and the surrounding circumstances, supports a
        reasonable belief that a violation has occurred, and shall not be
        determined solely on the basis of the number of sources; whether
        the source has been critical of a policy of the United States
        Government or its security partners; whether the source has a
        personal connection to the information being reported; or whether

        structures related to a prescription drug's price within the retail
        prescription drug supply chain in part D of title XVIII of the
        Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395w-101 et seq.). Such study shall
        summarize information from Federal agencies and industry experts,
        to the extent available, with respect to the following:
                (A) The type, magnitude, other features (such as the
            pricing benchmarks used), and prevalence of compensation and
            payment structures related to a prescription drug's price, such
            as calculating fee amounts as a percentage of a prescription
            drug's price, between intermediaries in the prescription drug
            supply chain, including--
                    (i) pharmacy benefit managers;

                entities that--

                        (I) advise PDP sponsors offering prescription drug
                    plans and Medicare Advantage organizations offering MA-
                    PD plans regarding pharmacy benefits; or
                        (II) review PDP sponsor and Medicare Advantage
                    organization contracts with pharmacy benefit managers;
                    and

                    (viii) other service providers that contract with any
                of the entities described in clauses (i) through (vii) that
                may use price-related compensation and payment structures,
                such as rebate aggregators (or other entities that
                negotiate or process price concessions on behalf of
                pharmacy benefit managers, plan sponsors, or pharmacies).
                (B) The primary business models and compensation structures

            (A).

            between affiliated entities (such as entities with common
            ownership, either full or partial, and subsidiary
            relationships) and unaffiliated entities.
                (D) Potential conflicts of interest among contracting
            entities related to the use of prescription drug price-related
            compensation structures, such as the potential for fees or
            other payments set as a percentage of a prescription drug's
            price to advantage formulary selection, distribution, or
            purchasing of prescription drugs with higher prices.
                (E) Notable differences, if any, in the use and level of
            price-based compensation structures over time and between
            different market segments, such as under part D of title XVIII
            of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395w-101 et seq.) and
            the Medicaid program under title XIX of such Act (42 U.S.C.
            1396 et seq.).
                (F) The effects of drug price-related compensation
            structures and alternative compensation structures on Federal
            health care programs and program beneficiaries, including with
            respect to cost-sharing, premiums, Federal outlays, biosimilar
            and generic drug adoption and utilization, drug shortage risks,
            and the potential for fees set as a percentage of a drug's
            price to advantage the formulary selection, distribution, or
            purchasing of drugs with higher prices.
                (G) Other issues determined to be relevant and appropriate
            by the Comptroller General.
            (2) Report.--Not later than 2 years after the date of enactment
        of this section, the Comptroller General shall submit to Congress a
        report containing the results of the study conducted under
        paragraph (1), together with recommendations for such legislation
        and administrative action as the Comptroller General determines
        appropriate.

                their effects on plan enrollee out-of-pocket spending and

    abbreviated application under this subsection for a drug that is
    required by regulation to contain one or more of the same inactive
    ingredients in the same concentrations as the listed drug referred to,
    or for which the Secretary determines there is a scientific
    justification for an approach that is in vitro, in whole or in part, to
    be used to demonstrate bioequivalence for a drug if such a drug
    contains one or more of the same inactive ingredients in the same
    concentrations as the listed drug referred to, the Secretary shall
    inform the person whether such drug is qualitatively and quantitatively
    the same as the listed drug. The Secretary may also provide such
    information to such a person on the Secretary's own initiative during
    the review of an abbreviated application under this subsection for such
    drug.

    that such drug is not qualitatively or quantitatively the same as the
    listed drug, the Secretary shall identify and disclose to the person--

    qualitatively or quantitatively the same as the listed drug; and
        ``(II) for any ingredient for which there is an identified
    quantitative deviation, the amount of such deviation.
        ``(iii) If the Secretary determines that such drug is qualitatively
    and quantitatively the same as the listed drug, the Secretary shall not
    change or rescind such determination after the submission of an
    abbreviated application for such drug under this subsection unless--
        ``(I) the formulation of the listed drug has been changed and the
    Secretary has determined that the prior listed drug formulation was
    withdrawn for reasons of safety or effectiveness; or
        ``(II) the Secretary makes a written determination that the prior
    determination must be changed because an error has been identified.
        ``(iv) If the Secretary makes a written determination described in
    clause (iii)(II), the Secretary shall provide notice and a copy of the
    written determination to the person making the request under clause
    (i).
        ``(v) The disclosures authorized under clauses (i) and (ii) are
    disclosures authorized by law, including for purposes of section 1905
    of title 18, United States Code. This subparagraph shall not otherwise
    be construed to authorize the disclosure of nonpublic qualitative or
    quantitative information about the ingredients in a listed drug, or to
    affect the status, if any, of such information as trade secret or
    confidential commercial information for purposes of section 301(j) of
    this Act, section 552 of title 5, United States Code, or section 1905
    of title 18, United States Code.''.

        in section 505(j)(3)(H) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
        Act, as added by subsection (a)), including with respect to
        assessing pH adjusters.
