     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The use of tobacco products by the Nation's children is 
     a pediatric disease of epic and worsening proportions that 
     results in new generations of tobacco-dependent children and 
     adults.
       (2) A consensus exists within the scientific and medical 
     communities that tobacco products are inherently dangerous 
     and cause cancer, heart disease, and other serious adverse 
     health effects.
       (3) Nicotine is an addictive drug.
       (4) Virtually all new users of tobacco products are under 
     the minimum legal age to purchase such products.
       (5) Tobacco advertising and marketing contribute 
     significantly to the use of nicotine-containing tobacco 
     products by adolescents.
       (6) Because past efforts to restrict advertising and 
     marketing of tobacco products have failed adequately to curb 
     tobacco use by adolescents, comprehensive restrictions on the 
     sale, promotion, and distribution of such products are 
     needed.
       (7) Federal and State governments have lacked the legal and 
     regulatory authority and resources they need to address 
     comprehensively the public health and societal problems 
     caused by the use of tobacco products.
       (8) Federal and State public health officials, the public 
     health community, and the public at large recognize that the 
     tobacco industry should be subject to ongoing oversight.
       (9) Under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, the 
     Congress is vested with the responsibility for regulating 
     interstate commerce and commerce with Indian tribes.
       (10) The sale, distribution, marketing, advertising, and 
     use of tobacco products are activities in and substantially 
     affecting interstate commerce because they are sold, 
     marketed, advertised, and distributed in interstate commerce 
     on a nationwide basis, and have a substantial effect on the 
     Nation's economy.
       (11) The sale, distribution, marketing, advertising, and 
     use of such products substantially affect interstate commerce 
     through the health care and other costs attributable to the 
     use of tobacco products.
       (12) The citizens of the several States are exposed to, and 
     adversely affected by, environmental smoke in public 
     buildings and other facilities which imposes a burden on 
     interstate commerce.
       (13) Civil actions against tobacco product manufacturers 
     and others are pending in Federal and State courts arising 
     from the use, marketing, and sale of tobacco products. Among 
     these actions are cases brought by the attorneys general of 
     more than 40 States, certain cities and counties, and the 
     Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and other parties, including 
     Indian tribes, and class actions brought by private claimants 
     (such as in the Castano Civil Actions), seeking to recover 
     monies expended to treat tobacco-related diseases and for the 
     protection of minors and consumers, as well as penalties and 
     other relief for violations of antitrust, health, consumer 
     protection, and other laws.
       (14) Civil actions have been filed throughout the United 
     States against tobacco product manufacturers and their 
     distributors, trade associations, law firms, and consultants 
     on behalf of individuals or classes of individuals claiming 
     to be dependent upon and injured by tobacco products.
       (15) These civil actions are complex, time-consuming, 
     expensive, and burdensome for both the litigants and Federal 
     and State courts. To date, these civil actions have not 
     resulted in sufficient redress for smokers or non-
     governmental third-party payers. To the extent that 
     governmental entities have been or may in the future be 
     compensated for tobacco-related claims they have brought, it 
     is not now possible to identify what portions of such past or 
     future recoveries can be attributed to their various 
     antitrust, health, consumer protection, or other causes of 
     action.
       (16) It is in the public interest for Congress to adopt 
     comprehensive public health legislation because of tobacco's 
     unique position in the Nation's history and economy; the need 
     to prevent the sale, distribution, marketing and advertising 
     of tobacco products to persons under the minimum legal age to 
     purchase such products; and the need to educate the public, 
     especially young people, regarding the health effects of 
     using tobacco products.
       (17) The public interest requires a timely, fair, 
     equitable, and consistent result that will serve the public 
     interest by (A) providing that a portion of the costs of 
     treatment for diseases and adverse health effects associated 
     with the use of tobacco products is borne by the 
     manufacturers of these products, and (B) restricting 
     throughout the Nation the sale, distribution, marketing, and 
     advertising of tobacco products only to persons of legal age 
     to purchase such products.
       (18) Public health authorities estimate that the benefits 
     to the Nation of enacting Federal legislation to accomplish 
     these goals would be significant in human and economic terms.
       (19) Reducing the use of tobacco by minors by 50 percent 
     would prevent well over 60,000 early deaths each year and 
     save up to $43 billion each year in reduced medical costs, 
     improved productivity, and the avoidance of premature deaths.
       (20) Advertising, marketing, and promotion of tobacco 
     products have been especially directed to attract young 
     persons to use tobacco products and these efforts have 
     resulted in increased use of such products by youth. Past 
     efforts to oversee these activities have not been successful 
     in adequately preventing such increased use.
       (21) In 1995, the tobacco industry spent close to 
     $4,900,000,000 to attract new users, retain current users, 
     increase current consumption, and generate favorable long-
     term attitudes toward smoking and tobacco use.
       (22) Tobacco product advertising often misleadingly 
     portrays the use of tobacco as socially acceptable and 
     healthful to minors.
       (23) Tobacco product advertising is regularly seen by 
     persons under the age of 18, and persons under the age of 18 
     are regularly exposed to tobacco product promotional efforts.
       (24) Through advertisements during and sponsorship of 
     sporting events, tobacco has become strongly associated with 
     sports and has become portrayed as an integral part of sports 
     and the healthy lifestyle associated with rigorous sporting 
     activity.
       (25) Children are exposed to substantial and unavoidable 
     tobacco advertising that leads to favorable beliefs about 
     tobacco use, plays a role in leading young people to 
     overestimate the prevalence of tobacco use, and increases the 
     number of young people who begin to use tobacco.
       (26) Tobacco advertising increases the size of the tobacco 
     market by increasing consumption of tobacco products 
     including increasing tobacco use by young people.
       (27) Children are more influenced by tobacco advertising 
     than adults, they smoke the most advertised brands, and 
     children as young as 3 to 6 years old can recognize a 
     character associated with smoking at the same rate as they 
     recognize cartoons and fast food characters.
       (28) Tobacco company documents indicate that young people 
     are an important and often crucial segment of the tobacco 
     market.
       (29) Comprehensive advertising restrictions will have a 
     positive effect on the smoking rates of young people.
       (30) Restrictions on advertising are necessary to prevent 
     unrestricted tobacco advertising from undermining legislation 
     prohibiting access to young people and providing for 
     education about tobacco use.
       (31) International experience shows that advertising 
     regulations that are stringent and comprehensive have a 
     greater impact on overall tobacco use and young people's use 
     than weaker or less comprehensive ones. Text-only 
     requirements, while not as stringent as a ban, will help 
     reduce underage use of tobacco products while preserving the 
     informational function of advertising.
       (32) It is in the public interest for Congress to adopt 
     legislation to address the public health crisis created by 
     actions of the tobacco industry.
       (33) If, as a direct or indirect result of this Act, the 
     consumption of tobacco products in the United States is 
     reduced significantly, then tobacco farmers, their families, 
     and their communities may suffer economic hardship and 
     displacement, notwithstanding their lack of involvement in 
     the manufacturing and marketing of tobacco products.
       (34) The use of tobacco products in motion pictures and 
     other mass media glamorizes its use for young people and 
     encourages them to use tobacco products.

     SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

       The purposes of this Act are--
       (1) to clarify the authority of the Food and Drug 
     Administration to regulate tobacco products under the Federal 
     Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), by 
     recognizing it as the primary Federal regulatory authority 
     with respect to the manufacture, marketing, and distribution 
     of tobacco products;
       (2) to require the tobacco industry to fund both Federal 
     and State oversight of the tobacco industry from on-going 
     payments by tobacco product manufacturers;
       (3) to require tobacco product manufacturers to provide 
     ongoing funding to be used for an aggressive Federal, State, 
     and local enforcement program and for a nationwide licensing 
     system to prevent minors from obtaining tobacco products and 
     to prevent the unlawful distribution of tobacco products, 
     while expressly permitting the States to

[[Page S6583]]

     adopt additional measures that further restrict or eliminate 
     the products' use;
       (4) to ensure that the Food and Drug Administration and the 
     States may continue to address issues of particular concern 
     to public health officials, especially the use of tobacco by 
     young people and dependence on tobacco;
       (5) to impose financial surcharges on tobacco product 
     manufacturers if tobacco use by young people does not 
     substantially decline;
       (6) to authorize appropriate agencies of the Federal 
     government to set national standards controlling the 
     manufacture of tobacco products and the identity, public 
     disclosure, and amount of ingredients used in such products;
       (7) to provide new and flexible enforcement authority to 
     ensure that the tobacco industry makes efforts to develop and 
     introduce less harmful tobacco products;
       (8) to confirm the Food and Drug Administration's authority 
     to regulate the levels of tar, nicotine, and other harmful 
     components of tobacco products;
       (9) in order to ensure that adults are better informed, to 
     require tobacco product manufacturers to disclose research 
     which has not previously been made available, as well as 
     research generated in the future, relating to the health and 
     dependency effects or safety of tobacco products;
       (10) to impose on tobacco product manufacturers the 
     obligation to provide funding for a variety of public health 
     initiatives;
       (11) to establish a minimum Federal standard for stringent 
     restrictions on smoking in public places, while also to 
     permit State, Tribal, and local governments to enact 
     additional and more stringent standards or elect not to be 
     covered by the Federal standard if that State's standard is 
     as protective, or more protective, of the public health;
       (12) to authorize and fund from payments by tobacco product 
     manufacturers a continuing national counter-advertising and 
     tobacco control campaign which seeks to educate consumers and 
     discourage children and adolescents from beginning to use 
     tobacco products, and which encourages current users of 
     tobacco products to discontinue using such products;
       (13) to establish a mechanism to compensate the States in 
     settlement of their various claims against tobacco product 
     manufacturers;
       (14) to authorize and to fund from payments by tobacco 
     product manufacturers a nationwide program of smoking 
     cessation administered through State and Tribal governments 
     and the private sector;
       (15) to establish and fund from payments by tobacco product 
     manufacturers a National Tobacco Fund;
       (16) to affirm the rights of individuals to access to the 
     courts, to civil trial by jury, and to damages to compensate 
     them for harm caused by tobacco products;
       (17) to continue to permit the sale of tobacco products to 
     adults in conjunction with measures to ensure that they are 
     not sold or accessible to underage purchasers;
       (18) to impose appropriate regulatory controls on the 
     tobacco industry; and
       (19) to protect tobacco farmers and their communities from 
     the economic impact of this Act by providing full funding for 
     and the continuation of the Federal tobacco program and by 
     providing funds for farmers and communities to develop new 
     opportunities in tobacco-dependent communities.

       ``(1) Nothing in this chapter, any policy issued or 
     regulation promulgated thereunder, or the National Tobacco

     product, as the Secretary may prescribe in such regulation 
     if, because of its potentiality for harmful effect or the 
     collateral measures necessary to its use, the Secretary

     protection of the public health. The finding as to whether 
     such regulation would be appropriate for the protection of 
     the public health shall be determined with respect to the 
     risks and benefits to the population as a whole, including 
     users and non-users of the tobacco product, and taking into

     do not use tobacco products will start using such products.
     No such condition may require that the sale or distribution 
     of a tobacco product be limited to the written or oral 
     authorization of a practitioner licensed by law to prescribe 
     medical products.

     process to assess the performance of a tobacco product), 
     packing and storage of a tobacco product, conform to current 
     good manufacturing practice, as prescribed in such 
     regulations, to assure that the public health is protected 
     and that the tobacco product is in compliance with this 
     chapter.

       ``(i) before promulgating any regulation under subparagraph

     manufacturers, and the state of their existing manufacturing 
     facilities; and shall provide for a reasonable period of time 
     for such manufacturers to conform to good manufacturing 
     practices.

     requirement, set forth the basis for the petitioner's 
     determination that compliance with the requirement is not 
     required to assure that the tobacco product will be in 
     compliance with this chapter;
       ``(ii) in the case of a petition for a variance from a 
     requirement, set forth the methods proposed to be used in, 
     and the facilities and controls proposed to be used for, the

     after the date of the petition's referral. Within 60 days 
     after--

     under subparagraph (A); or
       ``(ii) the day after the petition was referred to an 
     advisory committee,
     whichever occurs later, the Secretary shall by order either 
     deny the petition or approve it.
       ``(C) The Secretary may approve--
       ``(i) a petition for an exemption for a tobacco product 
     from a requirement if the Secretary determines that 
     compliance with such requirement is not required to assure 
     that the tobacco product will be in compliance with this 
     chapter; and
       ``(ii) a petition for a variance for a tobacco product from 
     a requirement if the Secretary determines that the methods to 
     be used in, and the facilities and controls to be used for, 
     the manufacture, packing, and storage of the tobacco product 
     in lieu of the methods, controls, and facilities prescribed 
     by the requirement are sufficient to assure that the tobacco 
     product will be in compliance with this chapter.
       ``(D) An order of the Secretary approving a petition for a 
     variance shall prescribe such conditions respecting the 
     methods used in, and the facilities and controls used for, 
     the manufacture, packing, and storage of the tobacco product 
     to be granted the variance under the petition as may be 
     necessary to assure that the tobacco product will be in 
     compliance with this chapter.

     respecting a petition, the petitioner shall have an 
     opportunity for an informal hearing on such order.
       ``(3) Compliance with requirements under this subsection 
     shall not be required before the period ending 3 years after 
     the date of enactment of the National Tobacco Policy and 
     Youth Smoking Reduction Act.

     exempt tobacco products intended for investigational use from 
     this chapter under such conditions as the Secretary may 
     prescribe by regulation.

     into contracts for research, testing, and demonstrations 
     respecting tobacco products and may obtain tobacco products

     Code, and section 5 of title 41, United States Code.

     ``SEC. 907. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.

       ``(a) In General.--
       ``(1) Finding required.--The Secretary may adopt 
     performance standards for a tobacco product if the Secretary 
     finds that a performance standard is appropriate for the 
     protection of the public health. This finding shall be 
     determined with respect to the risks and benefits to the 
     population as a whole, including users and non-users of the 
     tobacco product, and taking into account--
       ``(A) the increased or decreased likelihood that existing 
     users of tobacco products will stop using such products; and
       ``(B) the increased or decreased likelihood that those who 
     do not use tobacco products will start using such products.

     standard established under this section for a tobacco 
     product--

     certain of the tests of the tobacco product required to be 
     made under clause (ii) show that the tobacco product is in 
     conformity with the portions of the standard for which the 
     test or tests were required; and
       ``(v) a provision requiring that the sale and distribution 
     of the tobacco product be restricted but only to the extent 
     that the sale and distribution of a tobacco product may be 
     restricted under a regulation under section 906(d); and
       ``(C) shall, where appropriate, require the use and 
     prescribe the form and content of labeling for the proper use

       ``(3) Periodic re-evaluation of performance standards.--The 
     Secretary shall provide for periodic evaluation of 
     performance standards established under this section to 
     determine whether such standards should be changed to reflect 
     new medical, scientific, or other technological data. The 
     Secretary may provide for testing under paragraph (2) by any 
     person.
       ``(4) Involvement of other agencies; informed persons.--In 
     carrying out duties under this section, the Secretary shall, 
     to the maximum extent practicable--
       ``(A) use personnel, facilities, and other technical 
     support available in other Federal agencies;

     other conferences, workshops, or other means, by informed 
     persons representative of scientific, professional, industry,

     make a significant contribution.

       ``(B) A notice of proposed rulemaking for the establishment 
     or amendment of a performance standard for a tobacco product

     performance standard for the tobacco product, including a 
     draft or proposed performance standard, for consideration by 
     the Secretary.

     a performance standard shall set forth a finding with 
     supporting justification that the performance standard is no 
     longer necessary to be appropriate for the protection of the 
     public health.

     submitted in connection with a proposed standard, including 
     information concerning the countervailing effects of the

     creation of a significant demand for contraband or other 
     tobacco products that do not meet the requirements of this 
     chapter and the significance of such demand, and shall issue 
     the standard if the Secretary determines that the standard 
     would be appropriate for the protection of the public health.
       ``(E) The Secretary shall provide for a comment period of 
     not less than 60 days.
       ``(2) Promulgation.--
       ``(A) After the expiration of the period for comment on a 
     notice of proposed rulemaking published under paragraph (1) 
     respecting a performance standard and after consideration of 
     such comments and any report from an advisory committee, the 
     Secretary shall--
       ``(i) promulgate a regulation establishing a performance 
     standard and publish in the Federal Register findings on the 
     matters referred to in paragraph (1); or

     development of the standard together with the reasons for 
     such termination.

     shall take effect, but no such regulation may take effect 
     before one year after the date of its publication unless the 
     Secretary determines that an earlier effective date is 
     necessary for the protection of the public health. Such date 
     or dates shall be established so as to minimize, consistent 
     with the public health, economic loss to, and disruption or 
     dislocation of, domestic and international trade.
       ``(3) Special rule for standard banning class of product or 
     eliminating nicotine content.--Because of the importance of a 
     decision of the Secretary to issue a regulation establishing 
     a performance standard--
       ``(A) eliminating all cigarettes, all smokeless tobacco 
     products, or any similar class of tobacco products, or
       ``(B) requiring the reduction of nicotine yields of a 
     tobacco product to zero,
     it is appropriate for the Congress to have the opportunity to 
     review such a decision. Therefore, any such standard may not 
     take effect before a date that is 2 years after the President 
     notifies the Congress that a final regulation imposing the 
     restriction has been issued.

     (1) and (2)(B) of this subsection, amend or revoke a

     performance standard to be effective on and after its 
     publication in the Federal Register and until the effective 
     date of any final action taken on such amendment if the 
     Secretary determines that making it so effective is in the 
     public interest.
       ``(5) Reference to advisory committee.--The Secretary--
       ``(A) may, on the Secretary's own initiative, refer a 
     proposed regulation for the establishment, amendment, or 
     revocation of a performance standard; or
       ``(B) shall, upon the request of an interested person which 
     demonstrates good cause for referral and which is made before 
     the expiration of the period for submission of comments on 
     such proposed regulation,

     refer such proposed regulation to an advisory committee, for 
     a report and recommendation with respect to any matter 
     involved in the proposed regulation which requires the 
     exercise of scientific judgment. If a proposed regulation is 
     referred under this subparagraph to the advisory committee, 
     the Secretary shall provide the advisory committee with the 
     data and information on which such proposed regulation is 
     based. The advisory committee shall, within 60 days after the 
     referral of a proposed regulation and after independent study 
     of the data and information furnished to it by the Secretary 
     and other data and information before it, submit to the 
     Secretary a report and recommendation respecting such 
     regulation, together with all underlying data and information 
     and a statement of the reason or basis for the 
     recommendation. A copy of such report and recommendation 
     shall be made public by the Secretary.

       ``(a) Notification.--If the Secretary determines that--
       ``(1) a tobacco product which is introduced or delivered 
     for introduction into interstate commerce for commercial 
     distribution presents an unreasonable risk of substantial 
     harm to the public health; and

     eliminate the unreasonable risk of such harm and no more 
     practicable means is available under the provisions of this 
     chapter (other than this section) to eliminate such risk,

     assure that adequate notification is provided in an 
     appropriate form, by the persons and means best suited under 
     the circumstances involved, to all persons who should 
     properly receive such notification in order to eliminate such 
     risk. The Secretary may order notification by any appropriate 
     means, including public service announcements. Before issuing 
     an order under this subsection, the Secretary shall consult 
     with the persons who are to give notice under the order.

     an order issued under

     loss in an action brought for the enforcement of any such 
     liability, the value to the plaintiff in such action of any 
     remedy provided under such order shall be taken into account.
       ``(c) Recall Authority.--

     reasonable probability that a tobacco product contains a 
     manufacturing or other defect not ordinarily contained in

     adverse health consequences or death, the Secretary shall 
     issue an order requiring the appropriate person (including 
     the manufacturers, importers, distributors, or retailers of 
     the tobacco product) to immediately cease distribution of 
     such tobacco product. The order shall provide the person 
     subject to the order with an opportunity for an informal 
     hearing, to be held not later than 10 days after the date of 
     the issuance of the order, on the actions required by the 
     order and on whether the order should be amended to require a 
     recall of such tobacco product. If, after providing an 
     opportunity for such a hearing, the Secretary determines that 
     inadequate grounds exist to support the actions required by 
     the order, the Secretary shall vacate the order.
       ``(2) Amendment of order to require recall.--
       ``(A) If, after providing an opportunity for an informal 
     hearing under paragraph (1), the Secretary determines that 
     the order should be amended to include a recall of the 
     tobacco product with respect to which the order was issued, 
     the Secretary shall, except as provided in subparagraph (B), 
     amend the order to require a recall. The Secretary shall 
     specify a timetable in which the tobacco product recall will 
     occur and shall require periodic reports to the Secretary 
     describing the progress of the recall.
       ``(B) An amended order under subparagraph (A)--
       ``(i) shall not include recall of a tobacco product from 
     individuals; and
       ``(ii) shall provide for notice to persons subject to the 
     risks associated with the use of such tobacco product.

     In providing the notice required by clause (ii), the 
     Secretary may use the assistance of retailers and other 
     persons who distributed such tobacco product. If a 
     significant number of such persons cannot be identified, the 
     Secretary shall notify such persons under section 705(b).

     subsection shall be in addition to remedies provided by

       ``(a) In General.--Every person who is a tobacco product 
     manufacturer or importer of a tobacco product shall establish 
     and maintain such records, make such reports, and provide 
     such information, as the Secretary may by regulation 
     reasonably require to assure that such tobacco product is not 
     adulterated or misbranded and to otherwise protect public 
     health. Regulations prescribed under the preceding sentence--
       ``(1) may require a tobacco product manufacturer or 
     importer to report to the Secretary whenever the manufacturer 
     or importer receives or otherwise becomes aware of 
     information that reasonably suggests that one of its marketed 
     tobacco products may have caused or contributed to a serious 
     unexpected adverse experience associated with the use of the 
     product or any significant increase in the frequency of a 
     serious, expected adverse product experience;
       ``(2) shall require reporting of other significant adverse 
     tobacco product experiences as determined by the Secretary to 
     be necessary to be reported;
       ``(3) shall not impose requirements unduly burdensome to a 
     tobacco product manufacturer or importer, taking into account 
     the cost of complying with such requirements and the need for 
     the protection of the public health and the implementation of 
     this chapter;
       ``(4) when prescribing the procedure for making requests 
     for reports or information, shall require that each request 
     made under such regulations for submission of a report or 
     information to the Secretary state the reason or purpose for 
     such request and identify to the fullest extent practicable 
     such report or information;
       ``(5) when requiring submission of a report or information 
     to the Secretary, shall state the reason or purpose for the 
     submission of such report or information and identify to the 
     fullest extent practicable such report or information; and
       ``(6) may not require that the identity of any patient or 
     user be disclosed in records, reports, or information 
     required under this subsection unless required for the 
     medical welfare of an individual, to determine risks to 
     public health of a tobacco product, or to verify a record, 
     report, or information submitted under this chapter.

     In prescribing regulations under this subsection, the 
     Secretary shall have due regard for the professional ethics 
     of the medical profession and the interests of patients. The 
     prohibitions of paragraph (6) of this subsection continue to 
     apply to records, reports, and information concerning any 
     individual who has been a patient, irrespective of whether or 
     when he ceases to be a patient.
       ``(b) Reports of Removals and Corrections.--
       (1) Except as provided in paragraph (3), the Secretary 
     shall by regulation require a tobacco product manufacturer or 
     importer of a tobacco product to report promptly to the 
     Secretary any corrective action taken or removal from the 
     market of a tobacco product undertaken by such manufacturer 
     or importer if the removal or correction was undertaken--

     product; or
       ``(B) to remedy a violation of this chapter caused by the 
     tobacco product which may present a risk to health.

     A tobacco product manufacturer or importer of a tobacco 
     product who undertakes a corrective action or removal from 
     the market of a tobacco product which is not required to be 
     reported under this subsection shall keep a record of such 
     correction or removal.
       ``(2) No report of the corrective action or removal of a 
     tobacco product may be required under paragraph (1) if a 
     report of the corrective action or removal is required and 
     has been submitted under subsection (a) of this section.

       ``(a) In General.--
       ``(1) Premarket approval required.--
       ``(A) New products.--Approval under this section of an 
     application for premarket approval for any tobacco product 
     that is not commercially marketed (other than for test 
     marketing) in the United States as of August 11, 1995, is 
     required unless the manufacturer has submitted a report under 
     section 905(j), and the Secretary has issued an order that 
     the tobacco product is substantially equivalent to a tobacco 
     product commercially marketed (other than for test marketing) 
     in the United States as of August 11, 1995, that is in 
     compliance with the requirements of this Act.
       ``(B) Products introduced between august 11, 1995, and 
     enactment of this chapter.--Subparagraph (A) does not apply 
     to a tobacco product that--
       ``(i) was first introduced or delivered for introduction 
     into interstate commerce for commerce for commercial 
     distribution in the United States after August 11, 1995, and 
     before the date of enactment of the National Tobacco Policy 
     and Youth Smoking Reduction Act; and
       ``(ii) for which a report was submitted under section 
     905(j) within 6 months after such date,
     until the Secretary issues an order that the tobacco product 
     is substantially equivalent for purposes of this section or 
     requires premarket approval.
       ``(2) Substantially equivalent defined.--
       ``(A) For purposes of this section and section 905(j), the 
     term `substantially equivalent' or `substantial equivalence' 
     mean, with respect to the tobacco product being compared to 
     the predicate tobacco product, that the Secretary by order 
     has found that the tobacco product--
       ``(i) has the same characteristics as the predicate tobacco 
     product; or
       ``(ii) has different characteristics and the information 
     submitted contains information, including clinical data if 
     deemed necessary by the Secretary, that demonstrates that it 
     is not appropriate to regulate the product under this section 
     because the product does not raise different questions of 
     public health.
       ``(B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the term 
     `characteristics' means the materials, ingredients, design, 
     composition, heating source, or other features of a tobacco 
     product.
       ``(C) A tobacco product may not be found to be 
     substantially equivalent to a predicate tobacco product that 
     has been removed from the market at the initiative of the 
     Secretary or that has been determined by a judicial order to 
     be misbranded or adulterated.

     respecting a tobacco product, the person required to file a 
     premarket notification under such section shall provide an 
     adequate summary of any health information related to the 
     tobacco product or state that such information will be made 
     available upon request by any person.

     tobacco product shall contain detailed information regarding 
     data concerning adverse health effects and shall be made 
     available to the public by the Secretary within 30 days of 
     the issuance of a determination that such tobacco product is

     application meeting the requirements set forth in paragraph 
     (1), the Secretary--

       ``(B) shall, upon the request of an applicant,

     refer such application to an advisory committee and for 
     submission (within such period as the Secretary may 
     establish) of a report and recommendation respecting approval 
     of the application, together with all underlying data and the 
     reasons or basis for the recommendation.

       ``(1) Deadline.--
       ``(A) As promptly as possible, but in no event later than 
     180 days after the receipt of an application under subsection 
     (b) of this section, the Secretary, after considering the 
     report and recommendation submitted under paragraph (2) of 
     such subsection, shall--
       ``(i) issue an order approving the application if the 
     Secretary finds that none of the grounds for denying approval 
     specified in paragraph (2) of this subsection applies; or
       ``(ii) deny approval of the application if the Secretary 
     finds (and sets forth the basis for such finding as part of 
     or accompanying such denial) that one or more grounds for 
     denial specified in paragraph (2) of this subsection apply.
       ``(B) An order approving an application for a tobacco 
     product may require as a condition to such approval that the 
     sale and distribution of the tobacco product be restricted 
     but only to the extent that the sale and distribution of a 
     tobacco product may be restricted under a regulation under 
     section 906(d).
       ``(2) Denial of approval.--The Secretary shall deny 
     approval of an application for a tobacco product if, upon the 
     basis of the information submitted to the Secretary as part 
     of the application and any other information before the 
     Secretary with respect to such tobacco product, the Secretary 
     finds that--
       ``(A) there is a lack of a showing that permitting such 
     tobacco product to be marketed would be appropriate for the 
     protection of the public health;

     used for, the manufacture, processing, or packing of such 
     tobacco product do not conform to the requirements of section 
     906(e);

     justify the deviation from such standard.
       ``(3) Denial information.--Any denial of an application 
     shall, insofar as the Secretary determines to be practicable, 
     be accompanied by a statement informing the applicant of the 
     measures required to place such application in approvable 
     form (which measures may include further research by the 
     applicant in accordance with one or more protocols prescribed 
     by the Secretary).
       ``(4) Basis for finding.--For purposes of this section, the 
     finding as to whether approval of a tobacco product is 
     appropriate for the protection of the public health shall be 
     determined with respect to the risks and benefits to the 
     population as a whole, including users and non-users of the 
     tobacco product, and taking into account--
       ``(A) the increased or decreased likelihood that existing 
     users of tobacco products will stop using such products; and
       ``(B) the increased or decreased likelihood that those who 
     do not use tobacco products will start using such products.
       ``(5) Basis for action.--
       ``(A) For purposes of paragraph (2)(A), whether permitting 
     a tobacco product to be marketed would be appropriate for the 
     protection of the public health shall, when appropriate, be 
     determined on the basis of well-controlled investigations, 
     which may include one or more clinical investigations by 
     experts qualified by training and experience to evaluate the 
     tobacco product.

     scientific evidence (other than evidence derived from 
     investigations described in subparagraph (A)) which is 
     sufficient to evaluate the tobacco product the Secretary may 
     authorize that the determination for purposes of paragraph 
     (2)(A) be made on the basis of such evidence.
       ``(d) Withdrawal and Temporary Suspension.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall, upon obtaining, 
     where appropriate, advice on scientific matters from an 
     advisory committee, and after due notice and opportunity for 
     informal hearing to the holder of an approved application for 
     a tobacco product, issue an order withdrawing approval of the 
     application if the Secretary finds--
       ``(A) that the continued marketing of such tobacco product 
     no longer is appropriate for the protection of the public 
     health;
       ``(B) that the application contained or was accompanied by 
     an untrue statement of a material fact;

     records, or has repeatedly or deliberately failed to maintain 
     records or to make reports, required by an applicable 
     regulation under section 909;

     verification of, such records as required by section 704; or

     approved, that the methods used in, or the facilities and 
     controls used for, the manufacture, processing, packing, or 
     installation of such tobacco product do not conform with the 
     requirements of section 906(e) and were not brought into 
     conformity with such requirements within a reasonable time 
     after receipt of written notice from the Secretary of 
     nonconformity;

     evaluated together with the evidence before the Secretary 
     when the application was approved, that the labeling of such 
     tobacco product, based on a fair evaluation of all material 
     facts, is false or misleading in any particular and was not 
     corrected within a reasonable time after receipt of written 
     notice from the Secretary of such fact; or

     standard which is in effect under section 907, compliance 
     with which was a condition to approval of the application,

     the deviation from such standard.

     opportunity for an informal hearing, the Secretary determines 
     there is reasonable probability that the continuation of 
     distribution of a tobacco product under an approved 
     application would cause serious, adverse health consequences 
     or death, that is greater than ordinarily caused by tobacco 
     products on the market, the Secretary shall by order 
     temporarily suspend the approval of the application approved 
     under this section. If the Secretary issues such an order, 
     the Secretary shall proceed expeditiously under paragraph (1) 
     to withdraw such application.

     is necessary to provide information regarding the health 
     risks and other safety issues involving the tobacco product.

     to conduct such surveillance, submit, for the approval of the 
     Secretary, a protocol for the required surveillance. The 
     Secretary, within 60 days of the receipt of such protocol, 
     shall determine if the principal investigator proposed to be 
     used in the surveillance has sufficient qualifications and 
     experience to conduct such surveillance and if such protocol 
     will result in collection of useful data or other information 
     necessary to protect the public health. The Secretary may not 
     approve such a protocol until it has been reviewed by an 
     appropriately qualified scientific and technical review

     Secretary as a reduced risk tobacco product if the Secretary 
     finds that the product will significantly reduce harm to 
     individuals caused by a tobacco product and is otherwise 
     appropriate to protect public health, based on an application 
     submitted by the manufacturer of the product (or other 
     responsible person) that--

     term human testing that use of such product results in 
     ingestion or inhalation of a substantially lower yield of 
     toxic substances than use of conventional tobacco products in 
     the same category as the proposed reduced risk product; and
       ``(ii) if required by the Secretary, includes studies of 
     the long-term health effects of the product.

              TITLE II--REDUCTIONS IN UNDERAGE TOBACCO USE

                        Subtitle A--Underage Use

     SEC. 201. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Reductions in the underage use of tobacco products are 
     critically important to the public health.
       (2) Achieving this critical public health goal can be 
     substantially furthered by increasing the price of tobacco 
     products to discourage underage use if reduction targets are 
     not achieved and by creating financial incentives for 
     manufacturers to discourage youth from using their tobacco 
     products.
       (3) When reduction targets in underage use are not achieved 
     on an industry-wide basis, the price increases that will 
     result from an industry-wide assessment will provide an 
     additional deterrence to youth tobacco use.
       (4) Manufacturer-specific incentives that will be imposed 
     if reduction targets are not met by a manufacturer provide a 
     strong incentive for each manufacturer to make all efforts to 
     discourage youth use of its brands and ensure the 
     effectiveness of the industry-wide assessments.

     SEC. 202. PURPOSE.

       This title is intended to ensure that, in the event that 
     other measures contained in this Act prove to be inadequate 
     to produce substantial reductions in tobacco use by minors, 
     tobacco companies will pay additional assessments. These 
     additional assessments are designed to lower youth tobacco 
     consumption in a variety of ways: by triggering further 
     increases in the price of tobacco products, by encouraging 
     tobacco companies to work to meet statutory targets for 
     reductions in youth tobacco consumption, and providing 
     support for further reduction efforts.

     SEC. 203. GOALS FOR REDUCING UNDERAGE TOBACCO USE.

       (a) Goals.--As part of a comprehensive national tobacco 
     control policy, the Secretary, working in cooperation with 
     State, Tribal, and local governments and the private sector, 
     shall take all actions under this Act necessary to ensure 
     that the required percentage reductions in underage use of 
     tobacco products set forth in this title are achieved.
       (b) Required Reductions for Cigarettes.--With respect to 
     cigarettes, the required percentage reduction in underage 
     use, as set forth in section 204, means--

     SEC. 204. LOOK-BACK ASSESSMENT.

       (a) Annual Performance Survey.--Beginning no later than 
     1999 and annually thereafter the Secretary shall conduct a 
     survey, in accordance with the methodology in subsection 
     (d)(1), to determine--
       (1) the percentage of all young individuals who used a type 
     of tobacco product within the past 30 days; and
       (2) the percentage of young individuals who identify each 
     brand of each type of tobacco product as the usual brand of 
     that type smoked or used within the past 30 days.
       (b) Annual Determination.--The Secretary shall make an 
     annual determination, based on the annual performance survey 
     conducted under subsection (a), of whether the required 
     percentage reductions in underage use of tobacco products for 
     a year have been achieved for the year involved. The 
     determination shall be based on the annual percent prevalence 
     of the use of tobacco products, for the industry as a whole 
     and of particular manufacturers, by young individuals (as 
     determined by the surveys conducted by the Secretary) for the 
     year involved as compared to the base incidence percentages.
       (c) Confidentiality of Data.--The Secretary may conduct a 
     survey relating to tobacco use involving minors. If the 
     information collected in the course of conducting the annual 
     performance survey results in the individual supplying the 
     information or described in it to be identifiable, the 
     information may not be used for any purpose other than the 
     purpose for which it was supplied unless that individual (or 
     that individual's guardian) consents to its use for such 
     other purpose. The information may not be published or 
     released in any other form if the individual supplying the 
     information or described in it is identifiable unless that 
     individual (or that individual's guardian) consents to its 
     publication or release in other form.
       (d) Methodolgy.--
       (1) In general.--The survey required by subsection (a) 
     shall--
       (A) be based on a nationally representative sample of young 
     individuals;
       (B) be a household-based, in person survey (which may 
     include computer-assisted technology);
       (C) measure use of each type of tobacco product within the 
     past 30 days;
       (D) identify the usual brand of each type of tobacco 
     product used within the past 30 days; and
       (E) permit the calculation of the actual percentage 
     reductions in underage use of a type of tobacco product (or, 
     in the case of the manufacturer-specific surcharge, the use 
     of a type of tobacco product of a manufacturer) based on the 
     point estimates of the percentage of young individuals 
     reporting use of a type of tobacco product (or, in the case 
     of the manufacturer-specific surcharge, the use of a type of 
     tobacco product of a manufacturer) from the annual 
     performance survey.
       (2) Criteria for deeming point estimates correct.--Point 
     estimates under paragraph (1)(E) are deemed conclusively to 
     be correct and accurate for calculating actual percentage 
     reductions in underage use of a type of tobacco product (or, 
     in the case of the manufacturer-specific surcharge, the use 
     of a type of tobacco product of a particular manufacturer) 
     for the purpose of measuring compliance with percent 
     reduction targets and calculating surcharges provided that 
     the precision of estimates (based on sampling error) of the 
     percentage of young individuals reporting use of a type of 
     tobacco product (or, in the case of the manufacturer-specific 
     surcharge, the use of a type of tobacco product of a 
     manufacturer) is such that the 95-percent confidence interval 
     around such point estimates is no more than plus or minus 1 
     percent.
       (3) Survey deemed correct, proper, and accurate.--A survey 
     using the methodology required by this subsection is deemed 
     conclusively to be proper, correct, and accurate for purposes 
     of this Act.
       (4) Secretary may adopt different methodology.--The 
     Secretary by notice and comment rulemaking may adopt a survey 
     methodology that is different than the methodology described 
     in paragraph (1) if the different methodology is at least as 
     statistically precise as that methodology.
       (e) Industry-wide Non-attainment Surcharges.--
       (1) Secretary to determine industry-wide non-attainment 
     percentage.--The Secretary shall determine the industry-wide 
     non-attainment percentage for cigarettes and for smokeless 
     tobacco for each calendar year.
       (2) Non-attainment surcharge for cigarettes.--For each 
     calendar year in which the percentage reduction in underage 
     use required by section 203b) is not attained, the Secretary 
     shall assess a surcharge on cigarette manufacturers as 
     follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                If the non-attainment percentage is:                             The surcharge is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not more than 5 percent                                             $80,000,000 multiplied by the non-attainment
                                                                                                      percentage

                                                                   the non-attainment percentage in excess of 5%
                                                                                        but not in excess of 10%
More than 10%                                                       $1,200,000,000, plus $240,000,000 multiplied
                                                                   by the non-attainment percentage in excess of
                                                                                                             10%

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       (3) Non-attainment surcharge for smokeless tobacco.--For 
     each year in which the percentage reduction in underage use 
     required by section 203c) is not attained, the Secretary 
     shall assess a surcharge on smokeless tobacco product 
     manufacturers as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                If the non-attainment percentage is:                             The surcharge is:

Not more than 5 percent                                              $8,000,000 multiplied by the non-attainment
                                                                                                      percentage
More than 5% but not more than 10%                                   $40,000,000, plus $16,000,000 multiplied by
                                                                   the non-attainment percentage in excess of 5%
                                                                                        but not in excess of 10%
More than 10%                                                       $120,000,000, plus $24,000,000 multiplied by

       (4) Strict liability; joint and several liability.--
     Liability for any surcharge imposed under subsection (e) 
     shall be--
       (A) strict liability; and
       (B) joint and several liability--
       (i) among all cigarette manufacturers for surcharges 
     imposed under subsection (e)(2); and
       (ii) among all smokeless tobacco manufacturers for 
     surcharges imposed under subsection (e)(3).
       (5) Surcharge liability among manufacturers.--A tobacco 
     product manufacturer shall be liable under this subsection to 
     one or more other manufacturers if the plaintiff tobacco 
     product manufacturer establishes by a preponderance of the 
     evidence that the defendant tobacco product manufacturer, 
     through its acts or omissions, was responsible for a 
     disproportionate share of the non-attainment surcharge as 
     compared to the responsibility of the plaintiff manufacturer.
       (6) Exemptions for small manufacturers.--
       (A) Allocation by market share.--The Secretary shall make 
     such allocations according to each manufacturer's share of 
     the domestic cigarette or domestic smokeless tobacco market, 
     as appropriate, in the year for which the surcharge is being 
     assessed, based on actual Federal excise tax payments.
       (B) Exemption.--In any year in which a surcharge is being 
     assessed, the Secretary shall exempt from payment any tobacco 
     product manufacturer with less than 1 percent of the domestic 
     market share for a specific category of tobacco product 
     unless the Secretary finds that the manufacturer's products 
     are used by underage individuals at a rate equal to or 
     greater than the manufacturer's total market share for the 
     type of tobacco product.
       (f) Manufacturer-specific Surcharges.--
       (1) Required percentage reductions.--Each manufacturer 
     which manufactured a brand or brands of tobacco product on or 
     before the date of the enactment of this Act shall reduce the 
     percentage of young individuals who use such manufacturer's 
     brand or brands as their usual brand in accordance with the 
     required percentage reductions described under subsections 
     (b) (with respect to cigarettes) and (c ) (with respect to 
     smokeless tobacco).
       (2) Application to less popular brands.--Each manufacturer 
     which manufactured a brand or brands of tobacco product on or 
     before the date of the enactment of this Act for which the 
     base incidence percentage is equal to or less than the de 
     minimis level shall ensure that the percent prevalence of 
     young individuals who use the manufacturer's tobacco products 
     as their usual brand remains equal to or less than the de 
     minimis level described in paragraph (4).
       (3) New entrants.--Each manufacturer of a tobacco product 
     which begins to manufacture a tobacco product after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act shall ensure that the percent 
     prevalence of young individuals who use the manufacturer's 
     tobacco products as their usual brand is equal to or less 
     than the de minimis level.
       (4) De minimis level defined.--The de minimis level is 
     equal to 1 percent prevalence of the use of each 
     manufacturer's brands of tobacco product by young individuals 
     (as determined on the basis of the annual performance survey 
     conducted by the Secretary) for a year.
       (5) Target reduction levels.--
       (A) Existing manufacturers.-- For purposes of this section, 
     the target reduction level for each type of tobacco product 
     for a year for a manufacturer is the product of the required 
     percentage reduction for a type of tobacco product for a year 
     and the manufacturers base incidence percentage for such 
     tobacco product.
       (B) New manufacturers; manufacturers with low base 
     incidence percentages.--With respect to a manufacturer which 
     begins to manufacture a tobacco product after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act or a manufacturer for which the 
     baseline level as measured by the annual performance survey 
     is equal to or less than the de minimis level described in 
     paragraph (4), the base incidence percentage is the de 
     minimis level, and the required percentage reduction in 
     underage use for a type of tobacco product with respect to a 
     manufacturer for a year shall be deemed to be the number of 
     percentage points necessary to reduce the actual percent 
     prevalence of young individuals identifying a brand of such 
     tobacco product of such manufacturer as the usual brand 
     smoked or used for such year to the de minimis level.
       (6) Surcharge amount.--
       (A) In general.--If the Secretary determines that the 
     required percentage reduction in use of a type of tobacco 
     product has not been achieved by such manufacturer for a 
     year, the Secretary shall impose a surcharge on such 
     manufacturer under this paragraph.
       (B) Amount.--The amount of the manufacturer-specific 
     surcharge for a type of tobacco product for a year under this 
     paragraph is $1,000, multiplied by the number of young 
     individuals for which such firm is in noncompliance with 
     respect to its target reduction level.
       (C) Determination of number of young individuals.--For 
     purposes of subparagraph (B) the number of young individuals 
     for which a manufacturer is in noncompliance for a year shall 
     be determined by the Secretary from the annual performance 
     survey and shall be calculated based on the estimated total 
     number of young individuals in such year and the actual 
     percentage prevalence of young individuals identifying a 
     brand of such tobacco product of such manufacturer as the 
     usual brand smoked or used in such year as compared to such 
     manufacturer's target reduction level for the year.
       (7) De minimis rule.--The Secretary may not impose a 
     surcharge on a manufacturer for a type of tobacco product for 
     a year if the Secretary determines that actual percent 
     prevalence of young individuals identifying that 
     manufacturer's brands of such tobacco product as the usual 
     products smoked or used for such year is less than 1 percent.
       (g) Surcharges To Be Adjusted for Inflation.--
       (1) In general.--Beginning with the fourth calendar year 
     after the date of enactment of this Act, each dollar amount 
     in the tables in subsections (e)(2), (e)(3), and (f)(6)(B) 
     shall be increased by the inflation adjustment.
       (2) Inflation adjustment.--For purposes of paragraph (1), 
     the inflation adjustment for any calendar year is the 
     percentage (if any) by which--
       (A) the CPI for the preceding calendar year, exceeds
       (B) the CPI for the calendar year 1998.
       (3) CPI.--For purposes of paragraph (2), the CPI for any 
     calendar year is the average of the Consumer Price Index for 
     all-urban consumers published by the Department of Labor.
       (4) Rounding.--If any increase determined under paragraph 
     (1) is not a multiple of $1,000, the increase shall be 
     rounded to the nearest multiple of $1,000.
       (h) Method of Surcharge Assessment.--The Secretary shall 
     assess a surcharge for a specific calendar year on or before 
     May 1 of the subsequent calendar year. Surcharge payments 
     shall be paid on or before July 1 of the year in which they 
     are assessed. The Secretary may establish, by regulation, 
     interest at a rate up to 3 times the prevailing prime rate at 
     the time the surcharge is assessed, and additional charges in 
     an amount up to 3 times the surcharge, for late payment of 
     the surcharge.
       (i) Business Expense Deduction.--Any surcharge paid by a 
     tobacco product manufacturer under this section shall not be 
     deductible as an ordinary and necessary business expense or 
     otherwise under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
       (j) Appeal Rights.--The amount of any surcharge is 
     committed to the sound discretion of the Secretary and shall 
     be subject to judicial review by the United States Court of 
     Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, based on the 
     arbitrary and capricious standard of section 706(2)(A) of 
     title 5, United States Code. Notwithstanding any other 
     provisions of law, no court shall have authority to stay any 
     surcharge payments due the Secretary under this Act pending 
     judicial review.
       (k) Responsibility for Agents.--In any action brought under 
     this subsection, a tobacco product manufacturer shall be held 
     responsible for any act or omission of its attorneys, 
     advertising agencies, or other agents that contributed to 
     that manufacturer's responsibility for the surcharge assessed 
     under this section.

       (b) Requirements.--
       (1) Establishment.--The Secretary shall provide a block 
     grant, based on population, under this subtitle to each State

     grant under this section, a State--
       (A) shall enter into an agreement with the Secretary to 
     assume responsibilities for the implementation and

     and (b));
       (C) shall make available to appropriate Federal agencies

       (i) Licensure; sources; and notice.--A requirement for a 
     State license for each retail establishment involved in the 
     sale or distribution of tobacco products to consumers. A 
     requirement that a retail establishment may purchase tobacco 
     products only from Federally-licensed manufacturers, 
     importers, or wholesalers. A program under which notice is 
     provided to such establishments and their employees of all 
     licensing requirements and responsibilities under State and 
     Federal law relating to the retail distribution of tobacco 
     products.
       (ii) Penalties.--

       (I) Criminal.--Criminal penalties for the sale or

     license.
       (II) Civil.--Civil penalties for the sale or distribution

       (iii) Judicial review.--Judicial review procedures for an 
     action of the State suspending, revoking, denying, or 
     refusing to renew any license under its program.
       (c) Enforcement.--
       (1) Undertaking.--Each State that receives a grant under 
     this subtitle shall undertake to enforce compliance with its 
     tobacco retailing licensing program in a manner that can 
     reasonably be expected to reduce the sale and distribution of 
     tobacco products to individuals under 18 years of age. If the 
     Secretary determines that a State is not enforcing the law in 
     accordance with such an undertaking, the Secretary may 
     withhold a portion of any unobligated funds under this 
     section otherwise payable to that State.
       (2) Activities and reports regarding enforcement.--A State 
     that receives a grant under this subtitle shall--
       (A) conduct monthly random, unannounced inspections of

       (B) annually submit to the Secretary a report describing in 
     detail--
       (i) the activities carried out by the State to enforce

     reducing the availability of tobacco products to individuals

       (iii) how the inspections described in subparagraph (A) 
     were conducted and the methods used to identify outlets, with 
     appropriate protection for the confidentiality of information 
     regarding the timing of inspections and other 
     investigative techniques whose effectiveness depends on 
     continued confidentiality; and
       (iv) the identity of the single State agency designated by 
     the Governor of the State to be responsible for the 
     implementation of the requirements of this section.
       (3) Minimum inspection standards.--Inspections conducted by 
     the State shall be conducted by the State in such a way as to 
     ensure a scientifically sound estimate (with a 95 percent 
     confidence interval that such estimates are accurate to 
     within plus or minus 3 percentage points), using an accurate 
     list of retail establishments throughout the State. Such 
     inspections shall cover a range of outlets (not preselected 
     on the basis of prior violations) to measure overall levels 
     of compliance as well as to identify violations. The sample 
     must reflect the distribution of the population under the age 
     of 18 years throughout the State and the distribution of the 
     outlets throughout the State accessible to youth. Except as 
     provided in this paragraph, any reports required by this 
     paragraph shall be made public. As used in this paragraph, 
     the term ``outlet'' refers to any location that sells at 
     retail or otherwise distributes tobacco products to 
     consumers, including to locations that sell such products 
     over-the-counter.
       (d) Noncompliance.--
       (1) Inspections.--The Secretary shall withhold from any 
     State that fails to meet the requirements of subsection (b) 
     in any calendar year an amount equal to 5 percent of the 
     amount otherwise payable under this subtitle to that State 
     for the next fiscal year.
       (2) Compliance rate.--The Secretary shall withhold from any 
     State that fails to demonstrate a compliance rate of--
       (A) at least the annual compliance targets that were 
     negotiated with the Secretary under section 1926 of the 
     Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300x--26) as such 
     section was in effect before its repeal by this Act through 
     the third fiscal year after the date of enactment of this 
     Act;
       (B) at least 80 percent in the fourth fiscal year after 
     such date;
       (C) at least 85 percent in the fifth and sixth fiscal years 
     after such date; and
       (D) at least 90 percent in every fiscal year beginning with 
     the seventh fiscal year after such date,
     an amount equal to one percentage point for each percentage 
     point by which the State failed to meet the percentage set 
     forth in this subsection for that year from the amount 
     otherwise payable under this subtitle for that fiscal year.
       (e) Release and Disbursement.--
       (1) Upon notice from the Secretary that an amount payable 
     under this section has been ordered withheld under subsection 
     (d), a State may petition the Secretary for a release and 
     disbursement of up to 75 percent of the amount withheld, and 
     shall give timely written notice of such petition to the 
     attorney general of that State and to all tobacco product 
     manufacturers.
       (2) The agency shall conduct a hearing on such a petition, 
     in which the attorney general of the State may participate 
     and be heard.
       (3) The burden shall be on the State to prove, by a 
     preponderance of the evidence, that the release and 
     disbursement should be made. The Secretary's decision on 
     whether to grant such a release, and the amount of any such 
     disbursement, shall be based on whether--
       (A) the State presents scientifically sound survey data 
     showing that the State is making significant progress toward 
     reducing the use of tobacco products by individuals who have 
     not attained the age of 18 years;
       (B) the State presents scientifically-based data showing 
     that it has progressively decreased the availability of 
     tobacco products to such individuals;
       (C) the State has acted in good faith and in full 
     compliance with this Act, and any rules or regulations 
     promulgated under this Act;
       (D) the State provides evidence that it plans to improve 
     enforcement of these laws in the next fiscal year; and
       (E) any other relevant evidence.
       (4) A State is entitled to interest on any withheld amount 
     released at the average United States 52-Week Treasury Bill 
     rate for the period between the withholding of the amount and 
     its release.
       (5) Any State attorney general or tobacco product 
     manufacturer aggrieved by a final decision on a petition 
     filed under this subsection may seek judicial review of such 
     decision within 30 days in the United States Court of Appeals 
     for the District of Columbia Circuit. Unless otherwise 
     specified in this Act, judicial review under this section 
     shall be governed by sections 701 through 706 of title 5, 
     United States Code.
       (6) No stay or other injunctive relief enjoining a 
     reduction in a State's allotment pending appeal or otherwise 
     may be granted by the Secretary or any court.
       (f) Non-participating States Licensing Requirements.--For 
     retailers in States which have not established a licensing 
     program under subsection (a), the Secretary shall promulgate 
     regulations establishing Federal retail licensing for 
     retailers engaged in tobacco sales to consumers in those 
     States. The Secretary may enter into agreements with States 
     for the enforcement of

[[Page S6595]]

     those regulations. A State that enters into such an agreement 
     shall receive a grant under this section to reimburse it for 
     costs incurred in carrying out that agreement.
       (g) Definition.--For the purposes of this section, the term 
     ``first applicable fiscal year'' means the first fiscal year 
     beginning after the fiscal year in which funding is made 
     available to the States under this section.

     liability for that calendar year. Deposits of installments 
     paid after the due date shall accrue interest at the prime 
     rate plus 10 percent per annum, as published in the Wall 
     Street Journal on the latest publication date on or before 
     the payment date.
       (2) Reconciliation.--If the liability for a calendar year 
     under subsection (d)(2) exceeds the deposits made during that 
     calendar year, the manufacturer shall pay the unpaid 
     liability on March 1st of the succeeding calendar year, along 
     with the first deposit for that succeeding year. If the 
     deposits during a calendar year exceed the liability for the 
     calendar year under subsection (d)(2), the manufacturer shall 
     subtract the amount of the excess deposits from its deposit 
     on March 1st of the succeeding calendar year.
       (d) Apportionment of Annual Payment.--
       (1) In general.--Each tobacco product manufacturer is 
     liable for its share of the applicable base amount payment 
     due each year under subsection (b). The annual payment is

[[Page S6601]]

     the obligation and responsibility of only those tobacco 
     product manufacturers and their affiliates that directly sell 
     tobacco products in the domestic market to wholesalers, 
     retailers, or consumers, their successors and assigns, and 
     any subsequent fraudulent transferee (but only to the extent 
     of the interest or obligation fraudulently transferred).
       (2) Determination of amount of payment due.--Each tobacco 
     product manufacturer is liable for its share of each 
     installment in proportion to its share of tobacco products 
     sold in the domestic market for the calendar year. One month 
     after the end of the calendar year, the Secretary shall make 
     a final determination of each tobacco product manufacturer's 
     applicable base amount payment obligation.
       (3) Calculation of tobacco product manufacturer's share of 
     annual payment.--The share of the annual payment apportioned 
     to a tobacco product manufacturer shall be equal to that 
     manufacturer's share of adjusted units, taking into account 
     the manufacturer's total production of such units sold in the 
     domestic market. A tobacco product manufacturer's share of 
     adjusted units shall be determined as follows:
       (A) Units.--A tobacco product manufacturer's number of 
     units shall be determined by counting each--
       (i) pack of 20 cigarettes as 1 adjusted unit;
       (ii) 1.2 ounces of moist snuff as 0.75 adjusted unit; and
       (iii) 3 ounces of other smokeless tobacco product as 0.35 
     adjusted units.
       (B) Determination of adjusted units.--Except as provided in 
     subparagraph (C), a smokeless tobacco product manufacturer's 
     number of adjusted units shall be determined under the 
     following table:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             For units:                                    Each unit shall be treated as:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not exceeding 150 million                                                                          70% of a unit
Exceeding 150 million                                                                             100% of a unit
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       (C) Adjusted units determined on total domestic 
     production.--For purposes of determining a manufacturer's 
     number of adjusted units under subparagraph (B), a 
     manufacturer's total production of units, whether intended 
     for domestic consumption or export, shall be taken into 
     account.
       (D) Special rule for large manufacturers.--If a tobacco 
     product manufacturer has more than 200 million units under 
     subparagraph (A), then that manufacturer's number of adjusted 
     units shall be equal to the total number of units, and not 
     determined under subparagraph (B).
       (E) Smokeless equivalency study.--Not later than January 1, 
     2003, the Secretary shall submit to the Congress a report 
     detailing the extent to which youths are substituting 
     smokeless tobacco products for cigarettes. If the Secretary 
     determines that significant substitution is occurring, the 
     Secretary shall include in the report recommendations to 
     address substitution, including consideration of modification 
     of the provisions of subparagraph (A).
       (e) Computations.--The determinations required by 
     subsection (d) shall be made and certified by the Secretary 
     of Treasury. The parties shall promptly provide the Treasury 
     Department with information sufficient for it to make such 
     determinations.
       (f) Nonapplication to Certain Manufacturers.--
       (1) Exemption .--A manufacturer described in paragraph (3) 
     is exempt from the payments required by subsection (b).
       (2) Limitation.--Paragraph (1) applies only to assessments 
     on cigarettes to the extent that those cigarettes constitute 
     less than 3 percent of all cigarettes manufactured and 
     distributed to consumers in any calendar year.
       (3) Tobacco product manufacturers to which subsection 
     applies.--A tobacco product manufacturer is described in this 
     paragraph if it--
       (A) resolved tobacco-related civil actions with more than 
     25 States before January 1, 1998, through written settlement 
     agreements signed by the attorneys general (or the equivalent 
     chief legal officer if there is no office of attorney 
     general) of those States; and
       (B) provides to all other States, not later than December 
     31, 1998, the opportunity to enter into written settlement 
     agreements that--
       (i) are substantially similar to the agreements entered 
     into with those 25 States; and
       (ii) provide the other States with annual payment terms 
     that are equivalent to the most favorable annual payment 
     terms of its written settlement agreements with those 25 
     States.

     SEC. 403. ADJUSTMENTS.

       The applicable base amount under section 402(b) for a given 
     calendar year shall be adjusted as follows in determining the 
     annual payment for that year:
       (1) Inflation adjustment.--
       (A) In general.--Beginning with the sixth calendar year 
     after the date of enactment of this Act, the adjusted 
     applicable base amount under section 402(b)(6) is the amount 
     of the annual payment made for the preceding year increased 
     by the greater of 3 percent or the annual increase in the 
     CPI, adjusted (for calendar year 2002 and later years) by the 
     volume adjustment under paragraph (2).
       (B) CPI.--For purposes of subparagraph (A), the CPI for any 
     calendar year is the average of the Consumer Price Index for 
     all-urban consumers published by the Department of Labor.
       (C) Rounding.--If any increase determined under 
     subparagraph (A) is not a multiple of $1,000, the increase 
     shall be rounded to the nearest multiple of $1,000.
       (2) Volume adjustment.--Beginning with calendar year 2002, 
     the applicable base amount (as adjusted for inflation under 
     paragraph (1)) shall be adjusted for changes in volume of 
     domestic sales by multiplying the applicable base amount by 
     the ratio of the actual volume for the calendar year to the 
     base volume. For purposes of this paragraph, the term ``base 
     volume'' means 80 percent of the number of units of taxable 
     domestic removals and taxed imports of cigarettes in calendar 
     year 1997, as reported to the Secretary of the Treasury. For 
     purposes of this subsection, the term ``actual volume'' means 
     the number of adjusted unites as defined in section 
     402(d)(3)(A).

     SEC. 404. PAYMENTS TO BE PASSED THROUGH TO CONSUMERS.

       Each tobacco product manufacturer shall use its best 
     efforts to adjust the price at which it sells each unit of 
     tobacco products in the domestic market or to an importer for 
     resale in the domestic market by an amount sufficient to pass 
     through to each purchaser on a per-unit basis an equal share 
     of the annual payments to be made by such tobacco product 
     manufacturer under this Act for the year in which the sale 
     occurs.

     SEC. 405. TAX TREATMENT OF PAYMENTS.

       All payments made under section 402 are ordinary and 
     necessary business expenses for purposes of chapter 1 of the 
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for the year in which such 
     payments are made, and no part thereof is either in 
     settlement of an actual or potential liability for a fine or 
     penalty (civil or criminal) or the cost of a tangible or 
     intangible asset or other future benefit.

     SEC. 406. ENFORCEMENT FOR NONPAYMENT.

       (a) Penalty.--Any tobacco product manufacturer that fails 
     to make any payment required under section 402 or 404 within 
     60 days after the date on which such fee is due is liable for 
     a civil penalty computed on the unpaid balance at a rate of 
     prime plus 10 percent per annum, as published in the Wall 
     Street Journal on the latest publication date on or before 
     the payment date, during the period the payment remains 
     unmade.
       (b) Noncompliance Period.--For purposes of this section, 
     the term ``noncompliance period'' means, with respect to any 
     failure to make a payment required under section 402 or 404, 
     the period--
       (1) beginning on the due date for such payment; and
       (2) ending on the date on which such payment is paid in 
     full.
       (c) Limitations.--
       (1) In general.--No penalty shall be imposed by subsection 
     (a) on any failure to make a payment under section 402 during 
     any period for which it is established to the satisfaction of 
     the Secretary of the Treasury that none of the persons 
     responsible for such failure knew or, exercising reasonable 
     diligence, should have known, that such failure existed.
       (2) Corrections.--No penalty shall be imposed under 
     subsection (a) on any failure to make a payment under section 
     402 if--
       (A) such failure was due to reasonable cause and not to 
     willful neglect; and
       (B) such failure is corrected during the 30-day period 
     beginning on the 1st date that any of the persons responsible 
     for such failure knew or, exercising reasonable diligence, 
     should have known, that such failure existed.
       (3) Waiver.--In the case of any failure to make a payment 
     under section 402 that is due to reasonable cause and not to 
     willful neglect, the Secretary of the Treasury may waive all 
     or part of the penalty imposed under subsection (a) to the 
     extent that the Secretary determines that the payment of such 
     penalty would be excessive relative to the failure involved.

     reasons for such determination of ineligibility; and
       (II) shall assist such tribe in overcoming any deficiencies 
     that resulted in the determination of ineligibility.

     service populations consistent with the goals and purposes of

     Act that are in addition to the requirements, prohibitions, 
     or penalties required by this Act.

     SEC. 702. APPLICATION; PREEMPTION.

       (a) Application.--The provisions of this title govern any 
     tobacco claim in any civil action brought in an State, 
     Tribal, or Federal court, including any such claim that has 
     not reached final judgment or final settlement as of the date 
     of enactment of this Act.
       (b) Preemption.--This title supersedes State law only to 
     the extent that State law applies to a matter covered by this 
     title. Any matter that is not governed by this title, 
     including any standard of liability applicable to a 
     manufacturer, shall be governed by any applicable State, 
     Tribal, or Federal law.
       (c) Criminal Liability Untouched.--Nothing in this title 
     shall be construed to limit the criminal liability of tobacco 
     product manufacturers, retailers, or distributors, or their 
     officers, directors, employees, successors, or assigns.

     SEC. 703. RULES GOVERNING TOBACCO CLAIMS.

       (a) General Causation Presumption.--In any civil action to 
     which this title applies brought involving a tobacco claim, 
     there shall be an evidentiary presumption that nicotine is 
     addictive and that the diseases

[[Page S6606]]

     identified as being caused by use of tobacco products in the 
     Center for Disease Control and Prevention Reducing the Health 
     Consequences of Smoking: 25 Years of Progress: A Report of 
     the Surgeon General (United States Public Health Service 
     1989), The Health Consequences of Smoking: Involuntary 
     Smoking, (USPHS 1986); and The Health Consequences of Using 
     Smokeless Tobacco, (USPHS 1986), are caused in whole or in 
     part by the use of tobacco products, (hereinafter referred to 
     as the ``general causation presumption''), and a jury 
     empaneled to hear a tobacco claim shall be so instructed. In 
     all other respects, the burden of proof as to the issue of 
     whether a plaintiff's specific disease or injury was caused 
     by smoking shall be governed by the law of the State or Tribe 
     in which the tobacco claim was brought. This general 
     causation presumption shall in no way affect the ability of 
     the defendant to introduce evidence or argument which the 
     defendant would otherwise be entitled to present under the 
     law of the State or Tribe in which the tobacco claim was 
     brought to rebut the general causation presumption, or with 
     respect to general causation, specific causation, or 
     alternative causation, or to introduce any other evidence or 
     argument which the defendant would otherwise be entitled to 
     make.
       (b) Actions Against Participating Tobacco Product 
     Manufacturers.--In any civil action brought involving a 
     tobacco claim against participating tobacco product 
     manufacturers, as that term is defined in title XIV, the 
     provisions of title XIV apply in conjunction with the 
     provisions of this title.

                       PROTECTION FROM REPRISALS

     SEC. 801. ACCOUNTABILITY REQUIREMENTS AND OVERSIGHT OF THE 
                   TOBACCO INDUSTRY.

       (a) Accountability.--The Secretary, following regular 
     consultation with the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, the 
     Surgeon General, the Director of the Center for Disease 
     Control or the Director's delegate, and the Director of the 
     Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health shall 
     annually issue a report as provided for in subsection (c).
       (b) Tobacco Company Plan.--Within a year after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, each participating tobacco product 
     manufacturer shall adopt and submit to the Secretary a plan 
     to achieve the required percentage reductions in underage use 
     of tobacco products set forth in section 201, and thereafter 
     shall update its plan no less frequently than annually. The 
     annual report of the Secretary may recommend amendment of any 
     plan to incorporate additional measures to reduce underage 
     tobacco use that are consistent with the provisions of this 
     Act.
       (c) Annual Report.--The Secretary shall submit a report to 
     the Congress by January 31 of each year, which shall be 
     published in the Federal Register. The report shall--
       (1) describe in detail each tobacco product manufacturer's 
     compliance with the provisions of this Act and its plan 
     submitted under subsection (b);
       (2) report on whether each tobacco product manufacturer's 
     efforts to reduce underage smoking are likely to result in 
     attainment of smoking reduction targets under section 201;
       (3) recommend, where necessary, additional measures 
     individual tobacco companies should undertake to meet those 
     targets; and
       (4) include, where applicable, the extent to which prior 
     panel recommendations have been adopted by each tobacco 
     product manufacturer.

     SEC. 802. TOBACCO PRODUCT MANUFACTURER EMPLOYEE PROTECTION.

       (a) Prohibited Acts.--No tobacco product manufacturer may 
     discharge, demote, or otherwise discriminate against any 
     employee with respect to compensation, terms, conditions, 
     benefits, or privileges of employment because the employee 
     (or any person acting under a request of the employee)--
       (1) notified the manufacturer, the Commissioner of Food and 
     Drugs, the Attorney General, or any Federal, State, or local 
     public health or law enforcement authority of an alleged 
     violation of this or any other Act;
       (2) refused to engage in any practice made unlawful by such 
     Acts, if the employee has identified the alleged illegality 
     to the manufacturer;
       (3) testified before Congress or at any Federal or State 
     proceeding regarding any provision (or proposed provision) of 
     such Acts;
       (4) commenced, caused to be commenced, or is about to 
     commence or cause to be commenced a proceeding under such 
     Acts, or a proceeding for the administration or enforcement 
     of any requirement imposed under such Acts;
       (5) testified or is about to testify in any such 
     proceeding; or
       (6) assisted or participated, or is about to assist or 
     participate, in any manner in such a proceeding or in any 
     other manner in such a proceeding or in any other action to 
     carry out the purposes of such Acts.
       (b) Employee Complaint.--
       (1) Any employee of a tobacco product manufacturer who 
     believes that he or she has been discharged, demoted, or 
     otherwise discriminated against by any person in violation of 
     subsection (a) of this section may, within 180 days after 
     such violation occurs, file (or have any person file on his 
     or her behalf) a complaint with the Secretary alleging such 
     discharge, demotion, or discrimination. Upon receipt of such 
     a complaint, the Secretary shall notify the person named in 
     the complaint of its filing.
       (2)(A) Upon receipt of a complaint under paragraph (1) of 
     this subsection, the Secretary shall conduct an investigation 
     of the violation alleged in the complaint. Within 30 days 
     after the receipt of such complaint, the Secretary shall 
     complete such investigation and shall notify in writing the 
     complainant (and any such person acting in his or her behalf) 
     and the person alleged to have committed such violation of 
     the results of the investigation conducted under this 
     paragraph. Within 90 days after the receipt of such 
     complaint, the Secretary shall (unless the proceeding on the 
     complaint is terminated by the Secretary on the basis of a 
     settlement entered into by the Secretary and the person 
     alleged to have committed such violation) issue an order 
     either providing the relief prescribed in subparagraph (B) of 
     this paragraph or denying the complaint. An order of the 
     Secretary shall be made on the record after notice and the 
     opportunity for a hearing in accordance with sections 554 and 
     556 of title 5, United States Code. Upon the conclusion of 
     such a hearing and the issuance of a recommended decision 
     that the complaint has merit, the Secretary shall issue a 
     preliminary order providing the relief prescribed in 
     subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, but may not order 
     compensatory damages pending a final order. The Secretary may 
     not enter into a settlement terminating a proceeding on a 
     complaint without the participation and consent of the 
     complainant.
       (B) If, in response to a complaint under paragraph (1) of 
     this subsection, the Secretary determines that a violation of 
     this paragraph has occurred, the Secretary shall order the 
     person who committed such violation to (i) take affirmative 
     action to abate the violation, and (ii) reinstate the 
     complainant to his or her former position together with 
     compensation (including back pay), terms, conditions, and 
     privileges of his or her employment. The Secretary may order 
     such person to provide compensatory damages to the 
     complainant. If an order is issued under this subparagraph, 
     the Secretary, at the request of the complainant, shall 
     assess the person against whom the order is issued a sum 
     equal to the aggregate amount of all costs and expenses 
     (including attorneys' and expert witness fees) reasonably 
     incurred (as determined by the Secretary), by the complainant 
     for, or in connection with, the bringing of the complaint 
     upon which the order is issued.
       (3)(A) The Secretary shall dismiss a complaint filed under 
     paragraph (1) of this subsection, and shall not conduct the 
     investigation required under paragraph (2) of this 
     subsection, unless the complainant has made a prima facie 
     showing that any behavior described in subsection (a) of this 
     section was a contributing factor in the unfavorable 
     personnel action alleged in the complaint.
       (B) Notwithstanding a finding by the Secretary that the 
     complainant has made the showing required by subparagraph (A) 
     of this paragraph, no investigation required under paragraph 
     (2) of this subsection shall be conducted if the manufacturer 
     demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that it would 
     have taken the same unfavorable personnel action in the 
     absence of such behavior. Relief may not be ordered under 
     paragraph (1) of this subsection if the manufacturer 
     demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that it would 
     have taken the same unfavorable personnel action in the 
     absence of such behavior.
       (C) The Secretary may determine that a violation of 
     subsection (a) of this section has occurred only if the 
     complainant has demonstrated that any behavior described in 
     subsection (a) of this section was a contributing factor in 
     unfavorable personnel action alleged in the complaint.
       (c) Judicial Review.--
       (1) Any person adversely affected or aggrieved by an order 
     issued under subsection (a) of this section may obtain review 
     of the order in the United States court of appeals for the 
     circuit in which the violation, with respect to which the 
     order was issued, allegedly occurred. The petition for review 
     must be filed within 60 days after the issuance of the 
     Secretary's order. Judicial review shall be available as 
     provided in chapter 7 of title 5, United States Code. The 
     commencement of proceedings under this subsection shall not, 
     unless ordered by the court, operate as a stay of the 
     Secretary's order.
       (2) An order of the Secretary with respect to which review 
     could have been obtained under paragraph (1) of this 
     subsection shall not be subject to judicial review in any 
     criminal or civil proceeding.
       (d) Noncompliance.--Whenever a person has failed to comply 
     with an order issued under subsection (b)(2) of this section, 
     the Secretary may file a civil action in the United States 
     district court for the district in which the violation 
     occurred to enforce such order. In actions brought under this 
     subsection, the district courts shall have jurisdiction to 
     grant all appropriate relief, including injunctive relief and 
     compensatory and exemplary damages.
       (e) Action To Ensure Compliance.--
       (1) Any person on whose behalf an order was issued under 
     subsection (b)(2) of this section may commence a civil action 
     to require compliance with such order against the person to 
     whom such order was issued. The appropriate United States 
     district court shall have jurisdiction to enforce such order, 
     without regard to the amount in controversy or the 
     citizenship of the parties.

[[Page S6607]]

       (2) The court, in issuing any final order under this 
     subsection, may award costs of litigation (including 
     reasonable attorneys' and expert witness fees) to any party 
     whenever the court determines such award is appropriate.
       (f) Enforcement.--Any non-discretionary duty imposed by 
     this section shall be enforceable in a mandamus proceeding 
     brought under section 1361 of title 28, United States 
     Code.
       (g) Applicability to Certain Employees.--Subsection (a) of 
     this section shall not apply with respect to any employee 
     who, acting without direction from the manufacturer (or the 
     agent of the manufacturer) deliberately causes a violation of 
     any requirement of this Act, the Federal Food, Drug, and 
     Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq), or any other law or 
     regulation relating to tobacco products.
       (h) Effect on Other Laws.--This section shall not be 
     construed to expand, diminish, or otherwise affect any right 
     otherwise available to an employee under Federal or State law 
     to redress the employee's discharge or other discriminatory 
     action taken by a tobacco product manufacturer against the 
     employee.
       (i) Posting.--The provisions of this section shall be 
     prominently posted in any place of employment to which this 
     section applies.

        TITLE IX--PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF TOBACCO INDUSTRY DOCUMENTS

     SEC. 901. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the American tobacco industry has made claims of 
     attorney-client privilege, attorney work product, and trade 
     secrets to protect from public disclosure thousands of 
     internal documents sought by civil litigants;
       (2) a number of courts have found that these claims of 
     privilege were not made in good faith; and
       (3) a prompt and full exposition of tobacco documents 
     will--
       (A) promote understanding by the public of the tobacco 
     industry's research and practices; and
       (B) further the purposes of this Act.

     SEC. 902. APPLICABILITY.

       This title applies to all tobacco product manufacturers.

     SEC. 903. DOCUMENT DISCLOSURE.

       (a) Disclosure to the Food and Drug Administration.--
       (1) Within 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, 
     each tobacco product manufacturer shall submit to the Food 
     and Drug Administration the documents identified in 
     subsection (c), including documents for which trade secret 
     protection is claimed, with the exception of any document for 
     which privilege is claimed, and identified in accordance with 
     subsection (b). Each such manufacturer shall provide the 
     Administration with the privilege and trade secret logs 
     identified under subsection (b).
       (2) With respect to documents that are claimed to contain 
     trade secret material, unless and until it is finally 
     determined under this title, either through judicial review 
     or because time for judicial review has expired, that such a 
     document does not constitute or contain trade secret 
     material, the Administration shall treat the document as a 
     trade secret in accordance with section 708 of the Federal 
     Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 379) and the 
     regulations promulgated thereunder. Nothing herein shall 
     limit the authority of the Administration to obtain and use, 
     in accordance with any provision of the Federal Food, Drug, 
     and Cosmetic Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, 
     any document constituting or containing trade secret 
     material. Documents and materials received by the 
     Administration under this provision shall not be obtainable 
     by or releasable to the public through section 552 of title 
     5, United States Code, or any other provision of law, and the 
     only recourse to obtain these documents shall be through the 
     process established by section 905.
       (3) If a document depository is not established under title 
     XIV, the Secretary shall establish by regulation a procedure 
     for making public all documents submitted under paragraph (1) 
     except documents for which trade secret protection has been 
     claimed and for which there has not been a final judicial 
     determination that the document does not contain a trade 
     secret.
       (b) Separate Submission of Documents.--
       (1) Privileged trade secret documents.--Any document 
     required to be submitted under subsection (c) or (d) that is 
     subject to a claim by a tobacco product manufacturer of 
     attorney-client privilege, attorney work product, or trade 
     secret protection shall be so marked and shall be submitted 
     to the panel under section 904 within 30 days after its 
     appointment. Compliance with this subsection shall not be 
     deemed to be a waiver of any applicable claim of privilege or 
     trade secret protection.
       (2) Privilege and trade secret logs.--
       (A) In general.--Within 15 days after submitting documents 
     under paragraph (1), each tobacco product manufacturer shall 
     submit a comprehensive log which identifies on a document-by-
     document basis all documents produced for which the 
     manufacturer asserts attorney-client privilege, attorney 
     work-product, or trade secrecy. With respect to documents for 
     which the manufacturer previously has asserted one or more of 
     the aforementioned privileges or trade secret protection, the 
     manufacturer shall conduct a good faith de novo review of 
     such documents to determine whether such privilege or trade 
     secret protection is appropriate.
       (B) Organization of log.--The log shall be organized in 
     numerical order based upon the document identifier assigned 
     to each document. For each document, the log shall contain--
       (i) a description of the document, including type of 
     document, title of document, name and position or title of 
     each author, addressee, and other recipient who was intended 
     to receive a copy, document date, document purpose, and 
     general subject matter;
       (ii) an explanation why the document or a portion of the 
     document is privileged or subject to trade secret protection; 
     and
       (iii) a statement whether any previous claim of privilege 
     or trade secret was denied and, if so, in what proceeding.
       (C) Public inspection.--Within 5 days of receipt of such a 
     log, the Depository shall make it available for public 
     inspection and review.

     SEC. 904. DOCUMENT REVIEW.

       (a) Ajudication of Privilege Claims.--An claim of attorney-
     client privilege, trade secret protection, or other claim of 
     privilege with respect to a document required to be submitted 
     by this title shall be heard by a 3-judge panel of the United 
     States District Court for the District of Columbia under 
     section 2284 of title 28, United States Code. The panel may 
     appoint special masters, employ such personnel, and establish 
     such procedures as it deems necessary to carry out its 
     functions under this title.
       (b) Privilege.--The panel shall apply the attorney-client 
     privilege, the attorney work-product doctrine, and the trade 
     secret doctrine in a manner consistent with Federal law.

     SEC. 905. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTED PRIVILEGE AND TRADE SECRET 
                   CLAIMS.

       (a) In General.--The panel shall determine whether to 
     uphold or reject disputed claims of attorney client 
     privilege, attorney work product, or trade secret protection 
     with respect to documents submitted. Any person may petition 
     the panel to resolve a claim that a document submitted may 
     not be disclosed to the public. Such a determination shall be 
     made by a majority of the panel, in writing, and shall be 
     subject to judicial review as specified in this title. All 
     such determinations shall be made solely on consideration of 
     the subject document and written submissions from the person 
     claiming that the document is privileged or protected by 
     trade secrecy and from any person seeking disclosure of the 
     document. The panel shall cause notice of the petition and 
     the panel's decision to be published in the Federal Register.
       (b) Final Decision.--The panel may uphold a claim of 
     privilege or protection in its entirety or, in its sole 
     discretion, it may redact that portion of a document that it 
     determines is protected from public disclosure under 
     subsection (a). Any decision of the panel shall be final 
     unless judicial review is sought under section 906. In the 
     event that judicial review is so sought, the panel's decision 
     shall be stayed pending a final judicial decision.

     SEC. 906. APPEAL OF PANEL DECISION.

       (a) Petition; Right of Appeal.--Any person may obtain 
     judicial review of a final decision of the panel by filing a 
     petition for review with the United States Court of Appeals 
     for the Federal Circuit within 60 days after the publication 
     of such decision in the Federal Register. A copy of the 
     petition shall be transmitted by the Clerk of the Court to 
     the panel. The panel shall file in the court the record of 
     the proceedings on which the panel based its decision 
     (including any documents reviewed by the panel in camera) as 
     provided in section 2112 of title 28, United States Code. 
     Upon the filing of such petition, the court shall have 
     exclusive jurisdiction to affirm or set aside the panel's 
     decision, except that until the filing of the record the 
     panel may modify or set aside its decision.
       (b) Additional Evidence and Arguments.--If the any party 
     applies to the court for leave to adduce additional evidence 
     respecting the decision being reviewed and shows to the 
     satisfaction of the court that such additional evidence or 
     arguments are material and that there were reasonable grounds 
     for the failure to adduce such evidence or arguments in the 
     proceedings before the panel, the court may order the panel 
     to provide additional opportunity for the presentation of 
     evidence or arguments in such manner and upon such terms as 
     the court deems proper. The panel may modify its findings or 
     make new findings by reason of the additional evidence or 
     arguments and shall file with the court such modified or new 
     findings, and its recommendation, if any, for the 
     modification or setting aside of the decision being reviewed.
       (c) Standard of Review; Finality of Judgments.--The panel's 
     findings of fact, if supported by substantial evidence on the 
     record taken as a whole, shall be conclusive. The court shall 
     review the panel's legal conclusions de novo. The judgment of 
     the court affirming or setting aside the panel's decision 
     shall be final, subject to review by the Supreme Court of the 
     United States upon certiorari or certification, as provided 
     in section 1254 of title 28, United States Code.
       (d) Public Disclosure After Final Decision.--Within 30 days 
     after a final decision that a document, as redacted by the 
     panel or in its entirety, is not protected from disclosure by 
     a claim of attorney-client privilege, attorney work product, 
     or trade secret protection, the panel shall direct that the 
     document be made available to the Commissioner of Food and 
     Drugs under section 903(a). No Federal, Tribal, or State 
     court shall have jurisdiction to review a claim of attorney-
     client privilege, attorney work product, or trade secret 
     protection for a document that has lawfully been made 
     available to the public under this subsection.
       (e) Effect of Non-disclosure Decision on Judicial 
     Proceedings.--The panel's decision that a document is 
     protected by attorney-client privilege, attorney work 
     product, or trade secret protection is binding only for the 
     purpose of protecting the document from disclosure by the 
     Depository. The decision by the panel shall not be construed 
     to prevent a document from being disclosed in a judicial 
     proceeding or interfere with the authority of a court to 
     determine whether a document is admissible or whether its 
     production may be compelled.

     SEC. 907. MISCELLANEOUS.

       The disclosure process in this title is not intended to 
     affect the Federal Rules of Civil or Criminal Procedure or 
     any Federal law which requires the disclosure of documents or 
     which deals with attorney-client privilege, attorney work 
     product, or trade secret protection.

     SEC. 908. PENALTIES.

       (a) Good Faith Requirement.--Each tobacco product 
     manufacturer shall act in good faith in asserting claims of 
     privilege or trade secret protection based on fact and law. 
     If the panel determines that a tobacco product manufacturer 
     has not acted in good faith with full knowledge of the truth 
     of the facts asserted and with a reasonable basis under 
     existing law, the manufacturer shall be assessed costs, which 
     shall include the full administrative costs of handling the 
     claim of privilege, and all attorneys' fees incurred by the 
     panel and any party contesting the privilege. The panel may 
     also impose civil penalties of up to $50,000 per violation if 
     it determines that the manufacturer acted in bad faith in 
     asserting a privilege, or knowingly acted with the intent to 
     delay, frustrate, defraud, or obstruct the panel's 
     determination of privilege, attorney work product, or trade 
     secret protection claims.
       (b) Failure To Produce Document.--A failure by a tobacco 
     product manufacturer to produce indexes and documents in 
     compliance with the schedule set forth in this title, or with 
     such extension as may be granted by the panel, shall be 
     punished by a civil penalty of up to $50,000 per violation. A 
     separate violation occurs for each document the manufacturer 
     has failed to produce in a timely manner. The maximum penalty 
     under this subsection for a related series of violations is 
     $5,000,000. In determining the amount of any civil penalty, 
     the panel shall consider the number of documents, length of 
     delay, any history of prior violations, the ability to pay, 
     and such other matters as justice requires. Nothing in this 
     title shall replace or supersede any criminal sanction under 
     title 18, United States Code, or any other provision of law.

     construed to limit the authority of the Secretary to place an 
     institution on a reimbursement system of payment.

     construed to prohibit the Secretary from paying directly to 
     students, in advance of the beginning of the academic term,

     of institutionally owned housing, room and board. The student 
     may elect to have the institution provide other such goods 
     and services by crediting the student's account.

     funds made available to carry out this subpart are

     SEC. 1407. GOVERNMENTAL CLAIMS.

       (a) In General.--Except as provided in subsection (b) and 
     (c), no State, political subdivision of a State, municipal 
     corporation, governmental entity or corporation, Indian 
     tribe, or agency or subdivision thereof, or other entity 
     acting in parens patriae, may file or maintain any civil 
     action involving a tobacco claim against a participating 
     tobacco product manufacturer.
       (b) Effect on Existing State Suits of Settlement Agreement 
     or Consent Decree.--Within 30 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, any State that has filed a civil 
     action involving a tobacco claim against a participating 
     tobacco product manufacturer may elect to settle such action 
     against said tobacco product manufacturer. If a State makes 
     such an election to enter into a settlement or a consent 
     decree, it may maintain a civil action involving a tobacco 
     claim only to the extent necessary to permit continuing court 
     jurisdiction over the settlement or consent decree. Nothing 
     herein shall preclude any State from bringing suit or seeking 
     a court order to enforce the terms of such settlement or 
     decree.
       (c) State Option for One-Time Opt Out.--Any State that does 
     not make the election described in subsection (b) may 
     continue its lawsuit, notwithstanding subsection (a) of this 
     section. A State that does not make such an election shall 
     not be eligible to receive payments from the trust fund in 
     title IV.
       (d) 30-Day Delay.--No settlement or consent decree entered 
     into under subsection (b) may take effect until 30 days after 
     the date of enactment of this Act.
       (f) Preservation of Insurance Claims.--
       (1) In general.--If all participating tobacco product 
     manufacturers fail to make the payments required by title IV 
     for any calendar year, then--
       (A) beginning on the first day of the next calendar year, 
     subsection (a) does not apply to any insurance claim 
     (including a direct action claim) that is a tobacco claim, 
     regardless of when that claim arose;
       (B) any statute of limitations or doctrine of laches under 
     applicable law shall be tolled for the period--
       (i) beginning on the date of enactment of this Act; and
       (ii) ending on the last day of that calendar year; and
       (C) an insurance claim (including a direct action claim) 
     that is a tobacco claim and that is pending on the date of 
     enactment of this Act shall be preserved.
       (2) Application of title 11, united states code.--For 
     purposes of this subsection, nothing in this Act shall be 
     construed to modify, suspend, or otherwise affect the 
     application of title 11, United States Code, to participating 
     tobacco manufacturers that fail to make such payments.
       (3) State law not affected.--Nothing in this subsection 
     shall be construed to expand or abridge State law.

     SEC. 1408. ADDICTION AND DEPENDENCY CLAIMS; CASTANO CIVIL 
                   ACTIONS.

       (a) Addiction and Dependence Claims Barred.--In any civil 
     action to which this title applies, no addiction claim or 
     dependence claim may be filed or maintained against a 
     participating tobacco product manufacturer.
       (b) Castano Civil Actions.--
       (1) The rights and benefits afforded in this Act, and the 
     various research activities envisioned by this Act, are 
     provided in settlement of, and shall constitute the exclusive 
     remedy for the purpose of determining civil

[[Page S6626]]

     liability as to those claims asserted in the Castano Civil 
     Actions, and all bases for any such claim under the laws of 
     any State are preempted (including State substantive, 
     procedural, remedial, and evidentiary provisions) and 
     settled. The Castano Civil Actions shall be dismissed with 
     full reservation of the rights of individual class members to 
     pursue claims not based on addiction or dependency in civil 
     actions, as defined in section 1417(2), in accordance with 
     this Act. For purposes of determining application of statutes 
     of limitation or repose, individual actions filed within one 
     year after the effective date of this Act by those who were 
     included within a Castano Civil Action shall be considered to 
     have been filed as of the date of the Castano Civil Action 
     applicable to said individual.
       (2) For purposes of awarding attorneys fees and expenses 
     for those actions subject to this subsection, the matter at 
     issue shall be submitted to arbitration before one panel of 
     arbitrators. In any such arbitration, the arbitration panel 
     shall consist of 3 persons, one of whom shall be chosen by 
     the attorneys of the Castano Plaintiffs' Litigation Committee 
     who were signatories to the Memorandum of Understanding dated 
     June 20, 1997, by and between tobacco product manufacturers, 
     the Attorneys General, and private attorneys, one of whom 
     shall be chosen by the participating tobacco product 
     manufacturers, and one of whom shall be chosen jointly by 
     those 2 arbitrators.
       (3) The participating tobacco product manufacturers shall 
     pay the arbitration award.

     SEC. 1409. SUBSTANTIAL NON-ATTAINMENT OF REQUIRED REDUCTIONS.

       (a) Action by Secretary.--If the Secretary determines under 
     title II that the non-attainment percentage for any year is 
     greater than 20 percentage points for cigarettes or smokeless 
     tobacco, then the Secretary shall determine, on a brand-by-
     brand basis, using data that reflects a 1999 baseline, which 
     tobacco product manufacturers are responsible within the 2 
     categories of tobacco products for the excess. The Secretary 
     may commence an action under this section against the tobacco 
     product manufacturer or manufacturers of the brand or brands 
     of cigarettes or smokeless tobacco products for which the 
     non-attainment percentage exceeded 20 percentage points.
       (b) Procedures.--Any action under this section shall be 
     commenced by the Secretary in the United States District 
     Court for the District of Columbia within 90 days after 
     publication in the Federal Register of the determination that 
     the non-attainment percentage for the tobacco product in 
     question is greater than 20 percentage points. Any such 
     action shall be heard and determined by a 3-judge court under 
     section 2284 of title 28, United States Code.
       (c) Determination by Court.--In any action under this 
     section, the court shall determine whether a tobacco product 
     manufacturer has shown, by a preponderance of the evidence 
     that it--
       (1) has complied substantially with the provisions of this 
     Act regarding underage tobacco use, of any rules or 
     regulations promulgated thereunder, or of any Federal or 
     State laws regarding underage tobacco use;
       (2) has not taken any material action to undermine the 
     achievement of the required percentage reduction for the 
     tobacco product in question; and
       (3) has used its best efforts to reduce underage tobacco 
     use to a degree at least equal to the required percentage 
     reductions.
       (d) Removal of Annual Aggregate Payment Limitation.--Except 
     as provided in subsections (e) and (g), if the court 
     determines that a tobacco product manufacturer has failed to 
     make the showing described in subsection (c) then sections 
     1411 and 1412 of this Act do not apply to the enforcement 
     against, or the payment by, such tobacco product manufacturer 
     of any judgment or settlement that becomes final after that 
     determination is made.
       (e) Defense.--An action under this section shall be 
     dismissed, and subsection (d) shall not apply, if the court 
     finds that the Secretary's determination under subsection (a) 
     was unlawful under subparagraph (A), (B), (C), or (D) of 
     section 706(2) of title 5, United States Code. Any judgments 
     paid under section 1412 of this Act prior to a final judgment 
     determining that the Secretary's determination was erroneous 
     shall be fully credited, with interest, under section 1412 of 
     this Act.
       (f) Review.--Decisions of the court under this section are 
     reviewable only by the Supreme Court by writ of certiorari 
     granted upon the petition of any party. The applicability of 
     subsection (d) shall be stayed during the pendency of any 
     such petition or review.
       (g) Continuing Effect.--Subsection (d) shall cease to apply 
     to a tobacco product manufacturer found to have engaged in 
     conduct described in subsection (c) upon the later of--
       (1) a determination by the Secretary under section 201 
     after the commencement of action under subsection (a) that 
     the non-attainment percentage for the tobacco product in 
     question is 20 or fewer percentage points; or
       (2) a finding by the court in an action filed against the 
     Secretary by the manufacturer, not earlier than 2 years after 
     the determination described in subsection (c) becomes final, 
     that the manufacturer has shown by a preponderance of the 
     evidence that, in the period since that determination, the 
     manufacturer--
       (A) has complied with the provisions of this Act regarding 
     underage tobacco use, of any rules or regulations promulgated 
     thereunder, and of any other applicable Federal, State, or 
     local laws, rules, or regulations;
       (B) has not taken any action to undermine the achievement 
     of the required percentage reduction for the tobacco product 
     in question; and
       (C) has used its best efforts to attain the required 
     percentage reduction for the tobacco product in question.

     A judgment or settlement against the tobacco product 
     manufacturer that becomes final after a determination or 
     finding described in paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection 
     is not subject to subsection (d). An action under paragraph 
     (2) of this subsection shall be commenced in the United 
     States District Court for the District of Columbia, and shall 
     be heard and determined by a 3-judge court under section 2284 
     of title 28, United States Code. A decision by the court 
     under paragraph (2) of this subsection is reviewable only by 
     the Supreme Court by writ of certiorari granted upon the 
     petition of any party, and the decision shall be stayed 
     during the pendency of the petition or review. A 
     determination or finding described in paragraph (1) or (2) of 
     this subsection does not limit the Secretary's authority to 
     bring a subsequent action under this section against any 
     tobacco product manufacturer or the applicability of 
     subsection (d) with respect to any such subsequent action.

     SEC. 1410. PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY.

       If the Secretary, in consultation with the Commissioner of 
     Food and Drugs, the Surgeon General, the Director of the 
     Center for Disease Control or the Director's delegate, and 
     the Director of the Health and Human Services Office of 
     Minority Health determines at any time that a tobacco product 
     manufacturer's actions or inactions with respect to its 
     compliance with the Act are of such a nature as to create a 
     clear and present danger that the manufacturer will not 
     attain the targets for underage smoking reduction, the 
     Secretary may bring an action under section 1409 seeking the 
     immediate suspension of the tobacco product manufacturer's 
     annual limitation cap on civil judgments. If the court 
     determines that the Secretary has proved by clear and 
     convincing evidence that the subject manufacturer's actions 
     or inactions are of such a nature that they present a clear 
     and present danger that the manufacturer will not attain the 
     targets for underage smoking reduction, the court may suspend 
     the subject manufacturer's annual limitation cap on civil 
     judgments.

     SEC. 1411. TOBACCO CLAIMS BROUGHT AGAINST PARTICIPATING 
                   TOBACCO PRODUCT MANUFACTURERS.

       (a) Permissible Defendants.--In any civil action to which 
     this title applies, tobacco claims may be filed or maintained 
     only against--
       (1) a participating tobacco product manufacturer; or
       (2) a surviving entity established by a participating 
     tobacco product manufacturer.
       (b) Actions Involving Participating and Non-Participating 
     Manufacturers.--In any civil action involving both a tobacco 
     claim against a participating tobacco product manufacturer 
     based in whole or in part upon conduct occurring prior to the 
     date of enactment of this Act and a claim against 1 or more 
     non-participating tobacco product manufacturers, the court, 
     upon application of a participating tobacco product 
     manufacturer, shall require the jury to or shall itself 
     apportion liability as between the participating tobacco 
     product manufacturer and non-participating tobacco product 
     manufacturers.

     SEC. 1412. PAYMENT OF TOBACCO CLAIM SETTLEMENTS AND 
                   JUDGMENTS.

       (a) In General.--Except as provided in this section, any 
     judgment or settlement in any civil action to which this 
     subtitle applies shall be subject to the process for payment 
     of judgments and settlements set forth in this section. No 
     participating tobacco product manufacturer shall be obligated 
     to pay a judgment or settlement on a tobacco claim in any 
     civil action to which this title applies except in accordance 
     with this section. This section shall not apply to the 
     portion, if any, of a judgment that imposes punitive damages 
     based on any conduct that--
       (1) occurs after the date of enactment of this Act; and
       (2) is other than the manufacture, development, 
     advertising, marketing, or sale of tobacco products in 
     compliance with this Act and any agreement incident thereto.
       (b) Registration With the Secretary of the Treasury.--
       (1) The Secretary shall maintain a record of settlements, 
     judgments, and payments in civil actions to which this title 
     applies.
       (2) Any party claiming entitlement to a monetary payment 
     under a final judgment or final settlement on a tobacco claim 
     shall register such claim with the Secretary by filing a true 
     and correct copy of the final judgment or final settlement 
     agreement with the Secretary and providing a copy of such 
     filing to all other parties to the judgment or settlement.
       (3) Any participating tobacco product manufacturer making a 
     payment on any final judgment or final settlement to which 
     this section applies shall certify such payment to the 
     Secretary by filing a true and correct copy of the proof of 
     payment and a statement of the remaining unpaid portion, if 
     any, of such final judgment or final settlement with the 
     Secretary and shall provide a copy of such filing to all 
     other parties to the judgment or settlement.

[[Page S6627]]

       (c) Liability Cap.--
       (1) In general.--The aggregate payments made by all 
     participating tobacco product manufacturers in any calendar 
     year may not exceed $8,000,000,000.
       (2) Implementation.--The Secretary shall initiate a 
     rulemaking within 30 days after the date of enactment of this 
     Act to establish a mechanism for implementing this subsection 
     in such a way to ensure the fair and equitable payment of 
     final judgments or final settlements on tobacco claims under 
     this title. Amounts not payable because of the application of 
     this subsection, shall be carried forward and paid in the 
     next year, subject to the provisions of this subsection.
       (3) Inflation adjustment.--
       (A) In general.--The amount in paragraph (1) shall be 
     increased annually, beginning with the second calendar year 
     beginning after the date of enactment of this Act, by the 
     greater of 3 percent or the annual increase in the CPI.
       (B) CPI.--For purposes of subparagraph (A), the CPI for any 
     calendar year is the average of the Consumer Price Index for 
     all-urban consumers published by the Department of Labor.
       (C) Rounding.--If any increase determined under 
     subparagraph (A) is not a multiple of $1,000, the increase 
     shall be rounded to the nearest multiple of $1,000.
       (d) Injunctive Relief.--A participating tobacco product 
     manufacturer may commence an action to enjoin any State court 
     proceeding to enforce or execute any judgment or settlement 
     where payment has not been authorized under this section. 
     Such an action shall arise under the laws of the United 
     States and may be commenced in the district court of the 
     United States for the district in which the State court 
     proceeding is pending.
       (e) Joint and Several Liability.--All participating tobacco 
     product manufacturers shall be jointly and severally liable 
     for, and shall enter into an agreement to apportion among 
     them, any amounts payable under judgments and settlements 
     governed by this section arising in whole or in part from 
     conduct occurring prior to the date of enactment of this Act.
       (f) Bankruptcy of Participating Manufacturer.--No 
     participating tobacco product manufacturer shall cease 
     operations without establishing a surviving entity against 
     which a tobacco claim may be brought. Any obligation , 
     interest, or debt of a participating, tobacco product 
     manufacturer arising under such liability apportionment 
     agreement shall be given priority and shall not be rejected, 
     avoided, discharged, or otherwise modified or diminished in a 
     proceeding, under title 11, United States Code, or in any 
     liquidation, reorganization, receivership, or other 
     insolvency proceeding under State law. A trustee or receiver 
     in any proceeding under title 11, United States Code, or in 
     liquidation, reorganization, receivership, or other 
     insolvency proceeding under State law, may avoid any transfer 
     of an interest of the participating tobacco product 
     manufacturer, or any obligation incurred by 
     such manufacturer, that was made or incurred on or within 
     2 years before the date of the filing of a bankruptcy 
     petition, if such manufacturer made such transfer or 
     incurred such obligation to hinder or defeat in any 
     fashion the payment of any obligation, interest, or debt 
     of the manufacturer arising under the liability 
     apportionment agreement. Any property vesting in the 
     participating tobacco product manufacturer following such 
     a proceeding shall be subject to all claims and interest 
     of creditors arising under the liability apportionment 
     agreement.
       (f) Limitation on State Courts.--No court of any State, 
     Tribe, or political subdivision of a State may take any 
     action to inhibit the effective operation of subsection (c).

     the action for which the claimant is making a claim.
       (C) The skill requisite to perform the legal service

     public, except that if an award is to be paid in 
     installments, the first installment shall be payable within 
     such 30 day period and succeeding installments shall be paid 
     annually thereafter.
       (b) Validity and Enforceability of Private Agreements.--
     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, nothing in 
     this section shall be construed to abrogate or restrict in 
     any way the rights of any parties to mediate, negotiate, or 
     settle any fee or expense disputes or issues to which this 
     section applies, or to enter into private agreements with 
     respect to the allocation or division of fees among the 
     attorneys party to any such agreement.
       (c) Offset for Amounts Already Paid.--In making a 
     determination under this section with regard to a dispute 
     between a State that pursued independent civil action against 
     tobacco product manufacturers and its attorney, the 
     arbitration panel shall take into account any amounts already 
     paid by the State under the agreement in dispute.

     SEC. 1414. EFFECT OF COURT DECISIONS.

       (a) Severability.--If any provision of titles I through 
     XIII, or the application thereof to any person, manufacturer 
     or circumstance, is held invalid, the remainder of the 
     provisions of those titles, and the application of such 
     provision to other persons or circumstances, shall not be 
     affected thereby.
       (b) Nonseverability.--If a court of competent jurisdiction 
     enters a final decision substantially limiting or impairing 
     the essential elements of title XIV, specifically the 
     requirements of sections 1404 and 1405, then the provisions 
     of section 1412 are null and void and of no effect.

     SEC. 1415. CRIMINAL LAWS NOT AFFECTED.

       Nothing in this title shall be construed to limit the 
     criminal liability of tobacco product manufacturers,

     include municipal solid waste generated outside of the United 
     States. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, 
     generators of municipal solid waste outside the United States

     municipal solid waste outside of that State.

     refuse-derived fuel) generated by the general public or from 
     a residential, commercial, institutional, or industrial

     compliance schedules for remediation established by Federal 
     or State enforcement authorities shall be considered 
     compliance for purposes of this section.
       ``(6) The terms `specifically authorized' and `specifically 
     authorizes' refer to an explicit authorization, contained in 
     a host community agreement or permit, to import waste from 
     outside the State. Such authorization may include a reference 
     to a fixed radius surrounding the landfill or incinerator 
     that includes an area outside the State or a reference to any 
     place of origin, reference to specific places outside the 
     State, or use of such phrases as `regardless of origin' or 
     `outside the State'. The language for such authorization may 
     vary as long as it clearly and affirmatively states the 
     approval or consent of the affected local government or State 
     for receipt of municipal solid waste from sources outside the 
     State.
       ``(g) Implementation and Enforcement.--Any State may adopt 
     such laws and regulations, not inconsistent with this 
     section, as are necessary to implement and enforce this

     6901) is amended by adding at the end of the items relating 
     to subtitle D the following new item:

``Sec. 4011. Interstate transportation of municipal solid waste.''.

     SEC. 202. NEEDS DETERMINATION.

       The Governor of a State may accept, deny or modify an 
     application for a municipal solid waste management facility 
     permit if--
       (1) it is done in a manner that is not inconsistent with 
     the provisions of this section;
       (2) a State law enacted in 1990 and a regulation adopted by 
     the Governor in 1991 specifically requires the permit 
     applicant to demonstrate that there is a local or regional 
     need within the State for the facility; and
       (3) the permit applicant fails to demonstrate that there is 
     a local or regional need within the State for the facility.
